day Night at Vernon

The class involved in the big card
which Charlie McHugh has arranged
for the boxing show Wednesday night
at Jeffries' Vernon club for the benefit
of the Italian earthquake sufferers has
aroused extraordinary interest in the
worthy event and while it was expected
that the public would extend liberal
patronage because of the good charity
for which it is given there is no deny
ing that many dollars will be taken in
at the box office because of the superior
attraction than otherwise would be the
case.
Every boxer in the city has volun-
teered to box at the benefit and twelve
to fifteen three-round bouts will be
staged. There will be no knOckouts,
of course, as the bouts will not be
fights, but they will be sufficiently
realistic to please those who pay to
see them. All the boxers will wear full
tights and women are especially catered
to in the arrangement of all details of
the show. Prominent business men
will aid the event and it is expected
that a large sum will be realized by
the sale of tickets. These tickets range
in price from so cents for gallery seats
to 50 for box seats, and the advance
sale now is on.

WRESTLERS TO
DEFEND TITLES
CHAMPIONS WILL COMPETE
ON MAT WEDNESDAY
Athletes Of Prominence in Arm and
Leg Contests Are Scheduled to
Appear in Bouts of Various
Glasses

Champion WrestlerS of the Los Ange-
les Athletic club will defend their titles
against other club aspirants Wednes-
day evening, before an audience of club
members. The big wrestling mat of
the club gymnasium has new cover,
which is strapped down at the corners
to prevent it from Wrinkling, and ev-
erything is in readiness for the event.
Much new material has been devel-
oped in the past year and it is be-
lieved some of the club championships
will change hands during the tourna-
ment. There are several new men in
the field who look like winners and
who undoubtedly will give the veter-
ans some anxiety when the champion
ship events take place.
For more than month Instructor Al
Treloar has been giving his time to
training various candidates and show
ing the men new holds and counter
holds.
1t is predicted the event of Wednes-
DAY night will be the finest exhibition
of wrestling ever pulled off in South
ern California. The contest will be a
sort of preliminary tryOut for the big
wrestling match of February % at the
Shrine auditorium, where the Southern
California amateur championship
wrestling match will be held, and many
men from the Los Angeles Athlet1.
club will be entered.
Men of the Los Angeles Athletic club
have been making splendid progress in
wrestling since AL Treloar took charge
of the work, and the club wrestlers
hold practically every amateur cham
pionship of Southern California.
The men will be divided into three
classes, according to weight. In the
lightweight class-135 pounds and less
will be classed all featherweights and
lightweights; in the middleweight
class will be grouped the men weighing
135 to 15S. All who weigh more than
15S will be classed as heavyweights.
The contestants in the various classes
will draw lots to determine their an
tagonist and no man will know before
hand with whom he will WTestle.
George Refer. champion feather
weight will defend his title against
several able adversaries in the light
weight class. D. F. Harris. S. N.
I.eow, j. Wilton, I. o. Woodruff and
r. H. Muriel are the men who will
enter the lightweight class.

terday at cut-in hour, Hickey and
Wolfgang declining the issue, while
two others, Roy Offut and Hughey
Jones, drew in.
This leaves the ring as it stood pre-
vious to the cut-in, with twenty-nine
books in line.
1t recalled old times when Roy Offut
mounted the block yesterday afternoon
and had his old crew back on the job.
1t had been many months since he
made book at a local meeting, but he
says he tried to beat them from the
ground and had poor success and de-
cided to get back where he belongs. He
is one of the biggest operators in line
and is a keen price-maker.
No jockey ever received a more cor
dial welcome than was extended to
Eddie Dugan yesterday when he rode
Rapid Water to the post in the third
race. Nearly everybody stood in the
stand and cheered until after he had
passed the judges stand on the way to
cap in ACKNOWLEDGING of the ap-
plause before it ceased.
Treubel was forced to cancel his en-
gagements for yesterday owing to ill
ness. He has been reducing too low
and found it necessary to stay in bed
for the day. He pulled down to too low
weight for Lady Trina, which ran away
with him, and he is paying the pen
atty now. He will be on hand tomor-
row, however.
The three days suspension imposed
upon Schilling by Starter Dwyer Thurs
day afternoon had not expired yester-
day, but owing to the absence of Pow
ers and the Importance of the card foI
yesterday, the judges asked the starter
to lift the ban for a day and Schilling
was enabled to ride.
Starter Dwyer gets credit for a poor
start in the fifth race through no fault
Of his own making. The barrier re-
fused to work properly, one end stay
ing down, and half the field was left
at the post. Dryers work has beer
uniformly and Enthusiastically good
all season.
Eddie Dugan did not intend to ride
yesterday, being sick and going home
for the day. Hildreth was in Oakland
and as no good jockey could be had tt
ride Woodcraft and Restigouche, the
entry was scratched out of the stake
event Dugan finally showed UP and
rode Rapid Water. He has not been il
good health.
Jeems Morley and Walter Johnson
expert three-cushion players, were
matched yesterday to play 200 points
at this style of play, fifty points eacl
night, and play will start one weel
from next Monday night at the Casino
parlors. They will play for 81 {

winner will receive not less than $5l

.PACkY REFUSES;
WELSH ACCEPTS
ENGLISH CHAMPION TO MEET
MEMSIC
McCAREY CLOSES MATCH FOR
NEXT MONTH
Chicago Boy Declines to Make Weight
Without Guarantee, and Freddie
Takes Scrap Off His Hands.
Set for February 2

Manager McCarey yesterday closed
negotiations for a ten-rOund bout be-
tween Freddie Welsh and George
Memsic to be staged at Maud Junction
the night of February 2. These boys
were matched for an early January
date, but Welsh injured his left hand
in training and had to call it off I'M
til the injured hand could get back into
fighting condition. Then it was pro-
posed that the winner of the Packy
McFarland-Dick Hyland scrap should
take on Memsic, but Packy refused to
make weight without a guarantee, and
Welsh was offered the match and ac-
copied. By the articles of agreement
the boys will make 1873 pounds at 6
o o'clock the day Of the fight.
Memsic was very jubilant last night
at his success in finally landing a good
match. He is in perfect health now,
his skin showing the ruddy glow Of
health that has been so lacking here
tofore, and he hopes to defeat the
speedy and clever English champion
so decisively as to fully prove his dec
laration that he is better now than
when he fought Charlie Meary. George
has been training regularly since he
returned from the east, and says that
the most pleasing result thereof is to
find that he can scale at the light
weight limit with greatest ease and be
strong and as fast and clever as he
ever was.
Heretofore he has experienced great
difficulty in making the lightweight
limit, owing to poor health and i'm
proper training, as well, possibly, as
a rather careless attention to his ply
steal self. OR q time it seemed that
he had OutgrOwn the lightweight di-
vision, but with the return of perfect
health and condition he finds himself
close to the required weight and is
strong and feeling like a champion. He
will move to the East Side club next
week and begin q systematic and thor
ough course of training and fully ex-
poets to win this battle and regain the
prestige as a contender for the cham
pionship that he enjoyed before he hit

as the winners share. Morley says the
match is an open affair and anybody
can get in who makes entry in time.
Ralph Thompson of New York has
arrived for the winter meeting at
Santa Anita and feels perfectly at
home among the big bunch of eastern
racing folk who are here for the meet
ing. Mrs. Thompson accompanies him,
and they will tour the southwest leis-
urely during the winter, but Ralph will
seldom stray very far from Santa
Anita. Seymour Beutler is showing
him around.
Eddie Robinson will break back into
the referee game next Tuesday night
at San BernardinO, when he will ref
cree the Howard Baker-Indian Joe
Gregg scrap over the twenty-round
route. Eddie was one of the best in
the business when he retired. Quite a
good bunch of fans will go from Los
Angeles to attend this fight, as Baker
is very popular here and is stacking
up against a tough proposition in the
Indian. All the fans down this way
figure Baker as the winner because of
his good class and the form he always
has shown in local bouts.
1t was expected that AID Wolgast
and Danny Webster would be matched
up yesterday for a ten-round bout for
January 26, but after several hours of
haggling over terms they called it
off. They could not agree upon the
important details.
Billy Burk, matchmaker and man
ager for the Briggs Athletic club, Ar
cadia, has arranged a boxing show of
three bouts for Tuesday night that
brings out some good performers with
the mitts and should furnish a lively
and entertaining show. The main event
will be a ten-round bout between Dan
ny Murray of New York and Paul
Sikora of Detroit. The semi-windup
will be at six rounds, with Kid Butler
and Bob Hagerdon in the points. The
curtain-raiser will be a four-rOund bout
between Young Miller and Kid Sheri-
dan. This club pulled off a good show
last week and the race track folk gave
it liberal patronage. J. w. Briggs is
president of the club, Bill Stout is Of
fetal timer and Yank Hamilton is Of
fetal referee. Good order is maintained
at the shows and the boys are expect
ing big attendance.
John Considine of Seattle, one of the
members of the SullivanConsidine
vaudeville syndicate, arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday on his way to Ba-
kersfield on one of his periodical scout
ing trips up and down the coast. Con-
sidine owns a string of fine show horses
that usually carry away enough rib
bons to clothe them nicely every time
thew are exhibited, and he expects TO
get into competition at the Pasadena
horse show. He also owns a big bunch
of show dogs. Considine is well known
in sporting circles, especially where
they settle arguments with the padded
mitts.

lIehold this ruin! Twas a skull
Once of ethereal spirit full
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious
seat.
What beauteous vision filled this spot
What dreams of pleasure long forgot
Nor love, nor hope, nor joy, nor fear
Has left one trace of record here!
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shown the bright. and busy eye
But start not at the dismal void,
IL social love that eye employed,
IL with no lawless fire IL cleaned
But thru the dew of kindness
beamed-
That eye shall be forever bright
When sun and stars are sunk in
night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift. and tuneful tongue;
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And where It could not praise, was
chained
If hold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That silent tongue shall plead foi
thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say. did these fingers delve the mine
Or with the envied ruby shine?
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them"
But II the page of truth they sought,
Oh comfort to the mourrer brought,
These hands a richer need shall
claim
Thana II that waits on wealth OF
fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod,
These feet the path of duty trod?
If from the bowers of ease they fled,
To seek affliction's humble shed;
VI grandeur's guilty bride they spurn'
ed,
And home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angels wings shall
vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.
