Los Angeles herald., 1909-07-20


The recent influx of several poXers
of national reputation as sluggers ana
clever men has put new life into the
game in Los Angeles, and as result
two very promising looking cards have
already been arranged by Manager
McCarev of the Pacific Athletic club.
These two programs will bring peIore
the public several fighters who nave
not appeared in Los Angeles IN seNerai I
months, and also will feature the hIsc
professional appearance of three OF
the best amateur boxers ever prouuceu
In Southern California.
So many times have the fans Watcheu
the men who are now in Los Angeles
climb between the ropes that they
have grown tired of seeing the same
fighters battling in their rut. New
faces and styles of boxing have oeeIl
very much needed in the Angel city
and It is with delight that the 1ahs
will hail the announcement of the above
nroerams. Both Brock and Barry have
fought here, but not for many a mohth;
Both are popular, one as game ana
willing little lightweight, and the other
as a tough and aspiring heavyweight
who has been beaten, but is always
willing TO sign with the ruggedest ana
most formidable men in the business
Burns fought here some time ago, since
when he is said to have improved fully
100 per cent, and the boosting he mas
received since that time from men
who know something about the game
shows that he is regarded as competent
opponent for the Chicago boxer.
Brock Is on Hand
Phil Brock is on hand ready to enter
training. He arrived last week, anu
is in good condition to fight on the date
assigned to him. His prospective au-
versarv, Chick Hudson, the boy with
the bank roll behind him, was anxious
to meet Battling Nelson at the jump
off. but will be given an opportunity
first to show what he is good for IN
Brock he will meet a splendid second
rater, a boy who does not class as the
champion of his division, but VINO can
make many a top-notcher hunt the tall
timber Brock and his manager, Iohl
McGinty, a genial eastern sport, are
anxious to make a good showing, look
ing forward to future engagements.
Hudson was cheduled to meet Lew
Powell in San Francisco on July 30, but
the match has fallen through, and his
manager, Birmingham, wired him to re-
turn and enter training to meet Brock.
Though the bout is not yet assured,
there is little question thaI II VIII 90
through according to program, and it
should bring out a rafting contest,
since both boys have regulations as
mixers.
Jack Burns is eager to meet Kauf-
mann. but is willing to fight Barry first,
believing he can whip the tall and pow-
erful Chicagoan. However, Jim is
bound for the same goal and appears
to believe that Burns will be merely
a stepping stone. Their match for the
10th of August looks favorable.
Webster After Title
Danny Webster will probably meet
Monte Attell in the second bout for the
evening of August 8. A wire was sent
to Attell yesterday afternoon by Match
maker Hancock of the Pacific Athletic
club regarding Monte's acceptance, and
this is expected to reach Los Angeles
today, in which case the match will be
cinched on the spot. The bout will
virtually be for the worlds bantam
weight champion, which Attell claims.
Should Danny decisively whip the
northern boy he can lay claim to the
highest honors in his class.
