BRlTT'S ARRIVAL CAUSES
CHANGE IN FIGHT PLANS
Promoters Insist Ketchel-Langforc
Bout Will Be Held-Joke Contest
"for Legitimate Expenses"

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-The an
nouncement that the Ketchel-Langford
fight, to be held in this city in Sep
tember, has been abandoned by the
Fairmont Athletic club because of the
interference of Governor Hughes was
premature. When President Gibson of
the club was called into a conference
by the district attorney and the police
commissioner and informed that Gov
ernor Hughes would insist on a strict
compliance with the law, 1t was be-
lieved by Mr.. Gibson and his friends
that the fight could not be held. But
now the officials of the club announce
that the contest will be held as
planned, the only change being in
postponing the bout from September
10 to September 20. They insist that
no prize money has been offered the
fighters; that they are to receive only
their legitimate expenses, that both
fighters are qualified members of the
club and that only legal members Of
the club will be admitted to witness
the contest. Willus Britt, manager
for Stanley Ketchel, has arrived here
unexpectedly and states that Ketchel
is in the mountains of California hunt
ing and fishing, with his parents, and
that the stories concerning his lapses
are without foundation. Britt says that
Ketchel will weigh about $50 pounds
and that he will insist on fighting
Langford at catch weights.
Sam Langford, who has been training
hard near Boston, has insisted on
Ketchel weighing twenty pounds less
than his present scaling, and this may
cause a hitch in the arrangements, al
though the club officials say that the
matter is not troubling them. Britt
does not know just when Ketchel will
start east.

Many of the fans from the Vernon

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s1.-South-
Angel champions up this aftern on in
the opening game of the series on the
Oakland lot.
Four of the southernerS hit safely
and eight of them were successful in
getting passes, but at the critical
stages the left-hander had them all on
his staff.
Oakland, reinforced by three new
men, Outfielder Maggart and Infelders
Claire and Cutshaw, played a rattling
game 'at infield and at bat. The cru
sade was started in the opening inning,
when Carroll was passed and Lewis
sacrificed.
Maggart landed at first on Delmas'
error, after which Cameron singled to
center and Carroll arrived at home
plate. Christian forced Maggart and
Cutshaw walked and then Terry Nc
Kune tore a safe one, registering Cam
eron with the second tally for the in
ming.
Carroll arrived with Oakland's third
run in the seventh. This time Delmas'
second boot gave him a life. He stole
and advanced to third on Maggart's s
drive. scoring when Cameron lifted a
long fly to left.
The game was fast and snappy
throughout and replete with sensa-
tional fielding stunts. The Angels had
the bags filled twice, with but one
gone, and still could not squeeze a run
through on Nelson. Thorsen broke q
winning streak, though he allowed only
six hits. The score:

only a quarter of a mile from the COM

The Ellen was forty-five seconds be-

that Coulter has one very necessary
requisite-willingnes to train hard and
faithfully.
Tonight at Pittsburg Ad Wolgast,

ten rounds. Western fans, and espe-
cially the Los Angeles ringsiders, will
watch for the result with interest.
Since the beating administered to
Battling Nelson by the Brewer boy,
the Pacific coast fans have come to
look upon Ad as the most likely sue
cessor to the lightweight crown, in
case Bat retires and shifts the title
or is beaten before he gets into the
retired and undefeated" class. Muir
ply is a tough boy, not overly clever
but sturdy and rough and possessing
wallop worthy of respect. If Ad
slows him away before the limit It
will be a big boost for the protege of
Tom Jones. The latter sends word
that Ad is in good condition, his hand
injured previous to the Nelson bout,
Is much better and he will have no
trouble in disposing of the New York
boy.
Owen Moran complains, for the first
time we have heard of such a thing
concerning the British game from an
English fighter, of the manner IN
which the pugilistic promoters of the
British isles seek to squeeze out the
fighter in making matches. This is his
excuse, aside from poor condition, for
calling off his proposed bout with Jem
Driscoll. But it must be remembered
that Driscoll is a tough man. He went
to a draw with Abe Attell, who
whipped Moran at San Francisco.
II think that I will box at the Fair
mont club of New York, where there
is a genuine offer" says Moran. II
will probably leave for America early
in September with the view of an offer
from Jim Coffroth of San Francisco
to box either Battling Nelson OF Ad
Wolgast.
I'm America a fighter gets something
for his fighting. over here the pro-
moter has the sure end of 1t. They
expect a fighter to get his end out of
the side bet, and if he loses then he
has nothing but a good licking for
his trouble. Driscoll and I can get
$4,000 in America, while right at our
own home we have to be satisfied with
whatever is bid for the bout"
Freddie Welsh and Driscoll planned
to invade California in the fall and
now they may go sooner than they
had expected, stopping at Phila-

TT was tailenders' day yesterday in
the Coast league. Every first dt-
n vision team lost to the opposing
member of the second division. Port
land went down before the Hoganites,
the Angels lost their opening play with
Oakland and San Francisco was over
whelmed by the Sacramento players. 1t
was a 'home grounds" day. Both Oak
land and Vernon have good luck in
winning on their own fields. Rarely
have the suburbanites been losers on
the Vernon diamond this season. AS
long as the Seals tumbled simultane-
ously with the champions the Angel
fans will remain satisfied, for 1t means
that the relative standing of the two
top teams. which are well In the lead
by themselves, remains unchanged.
With their new men, the Senators are
playing a much better game than two
weeks ago, and 1t would not be surpris-
ing if the Capital city team takes the
Seals ipto camp in this series. That is
what the local fans are hoping for,
knowing full we'll that every victory of
the locals, coupled with a correspond
ing defeat Of the Mohlerites, means a
closer and hotter finish.

Leahy the crackerjack backstop of
the Dyas-Clines, has accepted ninety
three chances during his past ten
games and has been guilty of but
three errors. This player is also one
of the heavy hitters of the nine and
has recently shown great improvement
with the big stick. Leahy is now rap
ping the horsehide around the .250
mark and has helped out in many a
tight squeeze.
Earl Haight, whose brother is one
of the best amateur curve artists in
this end Of the state, is playing his
initial sack in major league form and
makes difficult chance look like easy
picking. During his past seven con-
tests this first baseman has accepted
sixty-eight chances, making but four
errors. In base running he has ac-
uuired a large collection of purloined
sacks and has connected with eleven
clean hits of twenty eight journeys to
the plate. Haight was recently offered
position as first baseman of a crack
Sioux City nine but refused in favor of
the locals. Pretty long distance for an
amateur pitcher to De heard from!
"Bush" Thompson, who has been
putting in the summer at Follows
camp, will soon be back again with
the Covina nine and Is considered as
being a first class utility man. Graft,
the fast second baseman, will probably
resume his old position, and if so
Graham will be switched to No 8,
while Wilson will cover short. Pros
poets appear rosy in the extreme for
the leaders of Interurban league.
