LONG BEACH TEAM BEATS
BUNCH FROM LOS ANGELES

LONG BEACH, Jan. 28.-In the first
game of the season, a sort of tryout of
the large squad, the Long Beach high
school baseball team defeated the
Hodge Hall team from Los Angeles by
the score of 5 to this afternoon on the
high school grounds here. The lineup:

battle approaches. While the majority
of the patrons of the game believe
Welsh will cut Memsic to pieces at
long range and win the bout on
points, there is a constantly increasing
number who think Memsic may slip
one or two over which will slow down
Welsh so the Bohemian can put over
his heaviest punch, with the result that
Welsh will be unable to continue his
spectacular boxing and will be obliged
to fight on equal terms, which would
give Memsic all of the advantage, and
the fight would end in his favor, pos
sibly by the knockout route.
The full program for Tuesday even
ing is as follows:
Freddie Welsh VS.. George Memsic,
ten rounds; frankie Sullivan VS.. Hobo
Dougherty, ten rounds; Young Kauf-
man VS.. Dwight Van, four rounds;
Chester Moos VS. Kid Hamilton, four
rounds; Young Turner VS.. Ed Higuar,
four rounds; Gene Redo VS.. Kid
Brady, four rounds; Young Sharkey
VS.. Kid Adams, four rounds.
Burns to Meet Cameron
Jack Burns will be seen for the first
time in Los Angeles on the evening of
February 8, when he will meet Jim
Cameron in a ten-round bout at Nc
Carey's pavilion. Burns was unable to
md anOther suitable opponent for an
introduction to the fans, but hereafter,
win or lose, he will draw the color line.
Both of the men are of the same height
and weight, and the contest will serve
also to give correct line on Cameron,
who beat Collins in their recent fight.
Frank Picato and Charlie Dalton will
take up their argument where they left
off and will meet for the ten-round
Windup the same evening.
Handicapped Hancock of the McCarey
club closed another match last night
that will interest the fans, when he
matched up Frank Picato and Kid Dali
ton for ten rounds for the February z
card. They will make 1873 pounds at 6
o'clock, and this should result in a
tough battle. They were matched to
meet last Tuesday night, but owing to
illness, Dalton had to decline the issue.
He is recovered now and confident that
he will beat the knockout kid.
Al Fellows, citizen of the world,
boxer, newspaper writer and bantam
scrapper, blew into town last night
from Frisco in search of trouble and
before he had registered he issued O.
sweeping challenge to all the bantams
in this neighborhood. He is after
Jimmy Walsh with sharp stick, and
cites the fact that he has fought such
cracks as Jem Bowker, Owen Moran,
Kid Herman, Kid Goodman and Kid
McFadden as his recommendation for
consideration.

again today. Judge Hamilton charged
Jockey Page, who rode Hasty Agnes, which
bumped Mark Antony II, 800 for his rough
work and also assessed Jockey Howard a
century note for cutting across the field with
Halket shortly after the start This rough
RI ding business should be dealt with as
severely as the statute will permit without
violation OF the cruelty act, as lives, well
money, involved in these foul and
decidedly unfair tactics.
r. T. Carman collected another big bun
die of kale on Norfolk when that one
scored in first place yesterday. He won him
out the day he bought him, but more than
Norfolk in a soft spot and got a good price
for his investment. Carman is going it
alone this season, but they do not seem to
be able to trim him.
Harry Brolaski will go to EmeryvilIe to-
night and will carry special cargo of inan-
cial influence to get on something that
starts up there tomorrow. Many guesses
have been made, but none of them is right.
Harry is going to try to put over a good
thing, and if he succeeds he will have a
well-feathered nest for a long time to come,
despite his tendency to beat favorites with
long shots
No prettier day ever was experienced by
native sons and tourists than yesterday. With
not a cloud in sight and Old Sol beaming in
all his cordial warmth, the cooling breezes
that fitted through the windows en- route
to the park were decidedly welcome and put
the fringe on an otherwise ideal day.
Much favorable comment has been heard
upon the liberal prices that the ring is Of
fering on winners these days. Favorites win
at to to 1 and the fearless booBies are
laying good prices straight across and are
getting away with their share Of the invest
ments. Never before have such prices been
offered the public at local race meeting and
whenever one hits the winner on the nose
he pulls down decent bit of profit.
Jockeys Dugan. Page and Butwen left
last night for Emeryville to ride in the
Burns tomorrow, and Powers may 90 up
tonight. Powers is under contract to Bar
ney Schrieber, and if the sun shines nicely
today he may be kept here to ride Jack
Atkin against Roseben tomorrow in the AL
hambra. Otherwise he will ride Animus in
the big stake.
Hen Berry has called his associates in
the Angel City Baseball association together
today for a special session to elect two new
directors to take the places vacated by
Harry Lelande and J. w. Brooks and to
elect treasurer and secretary. Other i'm
portant matters may be discussed by the
board while it is in session.
Butwell rode two winners yesterday. A
year ago he considered joke here
abouts but he seems to have improved
greatly in the months that have elapsed.
riding here. He and Archibald are the
% that have furnished the racegoing pub
lie with consistent surprises ever since they
began to ride this season.

George Memsic Takes Rest After
Strenuous Workout, Announcing
Himself in Perfect Condition
and at Required Weight
BY JAY DAVIDSON

Frankie Sullivan, who make such a
good showing with Young McGovern
and a Chicago chap recently in the To-
cal ring, added to his fame as a real
fighter last night by stopping Kid
Cleveland in the seventh round of their
scheduled ten-round bout at the Briggs
Athletic club, Arcadia. Sullivan fought
in that same effective manner that has
characterized all his bouts, and never
left the result in doubt from the first
tap of the gong. He hammered Cleve-
land all over the ring and administered
severe punishment in every round. In
the seventh, after Cleveland had been
beaten most decisively, Referee Yank
Hamilton stopped the bout to prevent
a knockout and to save Cleveland from
needless punishment. 1T was in effect
a knockout victory for Sullivan
The show was well patronized, many
Los Angeles fans being in the ringside
crowd, and two knockouts repaid them
for their trouble and expense in attend
ing. The curtain-raiser ended, in a
knockout in the third round when Jock
ey Marcado put Jockey Johnny Gala
han to sleep in that period of their
scheduled four-round preliminary

Memsic Takes Brief Rest
George Memsic rested up after his
workout yesterday, confident that he
will make a satisfactory showing
against Freddie Welsh next Tuesday
evening, when they meet at McCarey's
pavilion in a ten-round bout Memsic
weighed 1874 pounds after boxing with
Henry Hoppe, and he appeared rugged
and strong at the end. He has great
wind and staying powers and withal
seems to be well suited for an oppo-
nent Of the English lightweight cham
pion.
Welsh continued his training at
Venice, using Maurice Sayers and
Paul Sikora as sparring partners
Welsh does not seem to lose any sleep
