AMATEUR BOXERS
TO MEET IN JULY
COAST CHAMPIONSHIP WILL
BE HELD AT VENICE
ENTRIES ARE RECEIVED FROM
CLUBS OF NORTH
Attractive Prizes Are Offered Yor An-
nuaI Tournament to Be Held at
Seaside Under Auspices Of
L. A. Athletic Club

For the first time since the San
Francisco fire and the Inauguration of
amateur boxing on the coast the Pa
cifc coast boxing championships for
amateurs will be fought July IS, is and
II at Venice under auspices of the l..
A. A. c.
The last events of this kind were
held at the Olympic club of San Fran
cisco in 1905. AT these American cham
pionships the following titles were
won: Jimmy Carroll, now profess
sional, won in 1O5-pound class; Harry
Baker. also professional now, took
honors in 115-pound class; w. J. Leon
ard won the 125-pound event; Lew
Powell, now professional the l35-
pound class: Billy Mcdonald won at
145 pounds: Henry Finke at 15S pounds;
Tad Reardon, now professional, at 16S,
and Walter Schulken took the honors
in the heavyweight division.
From present indications one of the
largest and most successful tourna-
ments ever held is in prospect, as men
have promised to enter from every
club of any size on the coast. The San
Francisco Olympic club has promised
al least four representatives, the Mult-
nOmah club of Portland is planning
an invasion of the south with several
boxers, the L. A. A. c. will, of course.
have it's usual number of classy men
entered, and the Broadway Physical
Culture school, the Y. M. c. A, and
a number of other smaller organiza-
tions will have men entered in the
lists.
Failure of present holders of the til
ties to appear and defend their honors
will result in their forfeiture and the
winners in each class will be declared
the Pacific coast boxing champion of
their respective divisions.
The prizes offered for the first and
second man in each class are worthy
of special mention. The full value all
lowed by the A. A. u, $35 for winner
and $40 for second, will be given. The
winners will not necessarily have to
take a medal or other prize selected
by the club, but will be allowed to
choose whatever he may desire up to
the value allowed. This means that
if winner wishes a $35 watch he will
be given an order on a Jewelry store
and allowed to select it.
The first boxing championship tour
nament for amateurs was held in 1890
at the Olympic club of San Francisco.
The lists are now open and those de-
string to enter may do so with the
Herald or W. F. Henderson, assistant
secretary of the L. A. A. c. The only
stipulation is that each contestant
must be registered with the A. A. u,
application blanks to be secured at
time of entering.

ONE-SIDED DEFEAT
HITTING OF NoRTHERNERs GIVES
THEM EASY VICTORY
Stovali Appears in Box for Vernon for
First Time in Many Weeks.
Brashear's Long Hit Saves
WhiteWash
Oakland 8, Vernon I

Boice the third of the lengthy trim
ity of pitchers who have way of
winning their games with smile and
a long stride plus a few puzzling de
liVeries to the opposing batsmen, was
nominated to do the twirling yesterday
for the Commuters, when Bill Reidy,
after a good nights sleep, finally de-
cided that he had sent the team along
so well for the series that he had little
chance of losing. 1t looked as if his
Judgment was good, for the big Oak
lander never had so much as an eye
winker of trouble during the game after
the first inning, although the Hoganites
walked up once in the sixth and secured
a couple of neat hits, and two men got
to the bases. one to second and the
other TO third, with two men out. How
ever, it was the old, old story of a
stranded crew of base runners and a
runless finish at the end of the pc
riod.
Whatever is the hoodoo about that
home plate for the Suburbanites the
Vernon populace so far has been unable
to discover There is something hide
ously wrong about the situation, for
a half dozen times in the last week
this same condition has been brought
about. 1t might be a good idea for
the city fathers of Vernon to appoint
a special investigating committee to
look into the reasons whyfore.
Happy used Stovall for the Vernon
ties for the first time in many a long
week. Jess was, of course, somewhat
stale from long inaction in the box,
and it is not surprising that the north
erners found him for nine hits In
deed. it is to his credit that he made
such good showing against the tail
anders' SficEers
Vernon and the oaks each got run
in the first
Murphy, first up for Oakland in the
game, found the sphere for not
double that finally drove him in, when
d. Lewis, the boy wonder, lined a hot
one, too warm for Stovall to handle.
Kitty Brashear was the man who
saved the Vernonites from being shut
out, when he came along with a terrific
drive to the score board after Caffyn
had singled and had been advanced on
Bernard's out That long hit by
Brashear shot the right fielder across
the pan, and it was lucky Kitty had
his batting eye yesterday, else it would
have been another slick, round shut out
for the locals.
Oakland forged ahead in the third,
Murphy and Lewis again work.
ing like twins, and the former scoring
on a single and an error by Haley, the
first the Vernon bridegroom has made
in long time.
In the eighth came the third and final
run. which, as it turned out, was merely
a superhuous luxury for the visitors
Hogan banged out double and went
to third on wild pitch, scoring on
an out by McKune, who was forced by
Ragan. Hap gave the northerners a
scare in his half, getting man on
third, but his usual luck and a little
stupidity in the way of base running
came along and it was all off with
the Unhappy Hoganites. The play
was on the verge of gingery through
out, and the infielders kept the bleach
ers restless with several really pretty
feats. The tabulated score:

ANGELS LOSE ON

FOUR BUNGLES ARE CHARGED

DURING SEVEN INNINGS TEAMS
BATTLE TO TIE
In the Eighth Hosp's Support Falls
Him and Seals Make More
Than Enough Runs
to Win
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-The
Seals took their second straight game
from the Angels at Recreation park
yesterday afternoon by a score of 4 to
.. For seven tantalizing innings the
teams batted with the score a tie and
the fans had just about settled on see
ing another extra inning fracas when,
in the eighth. Hosps support suddenly
failed him and before the trouble was
over the Seals had more than enough
runs to win.
To Delmas must belong the honor
of giving them the game, for
the usually steady shortstop had an
off day of it all around and four mis-
plays were charged up to him.
Zeider was the hero of the day. In
the last half of the first inning he
pulled off one of his usual sensational
plays. The first man up was hit by
a pitched ball and went to second on
a passed ball. MOhlers out took him
to third. Then when Tenant hit the
ball to Hosp he started for home, but
the bail beat him to the plate by fif-
teen feet.
Back toward third ne turned. The
whole Los Angeles infield came over
to help him out, but his dodging back
and forward between them all the
strain finally proved too great for the
Angels and one of them made poor
throw and Rollie crossed the plate in
triumph.
The Angels tied it up in the fourth.
Daley opened the inning by singing to
left and was sacrificed along by Ross.
Dillon bunted to Eastley, who fun
bled the ball and Daley came all the
way from second on the error. The
Seals didn't have much more chance
until the eighth, when the home team
won the game.
With one gone, Mohler walked and
went to second when Delmas failed to
cover the bag when Hosp threw Ten
nant's bunt to him Nick Williams
went i'm to bat for Bodie and singled
to left. filing the bases. Melchoir flew
to Daley who dropped the ball and
Mohler came home. Jimmy Lewis hit
an easy one to Delmas, but the short
stop failed to grab the ball and two
more crossed the plate.
Los Angeles scored one in the ninth,
when Wheeler was safe on McCar-
dies error, went to second on a wild
Pitch and scored on Delmas' single to
center The score:

PORTLAND IS SHUT OUT IN
BATTLE between PITCHERS

SACRAMENTO, June 26.-Ehman
had all the best of a pitchers battle
today, when Sacramento shut out Port
land, 4 to o.. But three hits were scored
off the local man, while Carson was
batted for eight. In the early part of
the battle it looked like a pitchers
contest that would go over the limit
but Shinn and Doyle got together in
the sixth with two hits and scored the
first run. Three hits, three stolen bases
and an error were good for three in
the eighth. The score:

faction When He Shows Fight
Articles to Black
Champion

NEW YORK, June 26.-The assertion
by Jack Johnson, the negro champion
pugilist, that he had not signed a con-
tract to fight AL Kaufman of Cali
fornia was emphatically refuted last
night by Kaufman's manager, Charles
j. Harvey, who exhibited the contract
which Johnson had signed.
When Harvey showed this to the ne
gro prize fighter at their stormy meet
ing last night and demanded to know
what he proposed to do about it, john
sons only reply was:
Forget it, Mistah Harvey; it's too
hot to bother" and the champion
walked away.
