Women viii Be Out
En- Masse

That the gymnasium of the Los An
geles Athletic club will be filled to its
utmost capacity this evening when the
amateur wrestling and boxing card ar
ranged by Assistant Secretary Hender-
son is given has been already evil
denced by the number of tickets sold.
Inasmuch as the contests three OF
which are merely exhibition wrestling
matches, will in no sense of the word be
prize fights, but an exhibition of the
scientific points of the art of self-de-
fense, women have been especially in
vited to witness the exhibition, which
Should prove high class in every par
ticular.
Boscha to Box Exhibition
Great interest has been manifested In
the Coulter Boscha affair." which will
be an exhibition boxing contest between
two of the premier boxers of the Pa
cific coast. Although Coulter has been
thinking of entering the championship
lists, nothing definite has as yet been
accomplished, and his amateur stand
ing will in no way be jeopardized.
Every boxing enthusiast who witnessed
the Coulter Boscha go at Venice dur
ing the Pacific coast championship Will
long remember the exhibition which
these two experts put up. Although

Boscha made a really first class show
ing and would probably enter the ring
an almost equal choice with Coulter
should the two ever meet in earnest
again.
The wrestling bout will consist OF a
friendly exhibition between George
Retzer and Hal Mauer, and both lads
are in first class trim. This should be
one OF the prettiest matches of the
evening from a scientific standpoint
and will be put on as curtain raiser.
Three Boxing Contests
Walla Wheeler and Billy Coe will
follow in another exhibition bout, and
then will come the real matches of the
evening. Danny Rooney and Rocco
Urgo. both of whom have been train
ing religiously, should put up first
class three rounds of fast milling. both
boxers being clever and possessed of a
good wallop. Fred Scholl and Berry
Hatton will also mix it, and although
Hatton is credited with being the better
ring general Scholl has shown such
phenomenal Improvement that, many
fans predict a different outcome than
that forecasted by the dopesters
Scholl, while lacking experience, is one
of the most aggressive boxers who ever
trod the canvas of an amateur ring,
and is as willing as ground hog on
February 2.
Fred Cogdill and c. Beuchamp, who
win close the program, are both too
we'll known to need an introduction.
but ii may be stated that whichever
lad is awarded the palm of triumph will
know he boxed with a real boxer when
his three or four rounds are ended.
The proceeds of the affair will be
used to send the L. A. A. c. boxers
and wrestlers to compete in the north
western tournaments at Seattle. Cliff
Reuman, Charles Boscha and A. K.
Clymer are the members who have the
card in hand, while Cecil Frankel,
Henry Krohm and Force Parker are
the personnel of the reception commit

see that the boys quit when the time Is
up, while George L. McKeeby will do
