wrestlers in the country, and should
set high standard for the following
events of the evening.
When Wally Wheeler and William
E. Coe mix in a friendly little swat fest
that class of sports who delight in a
clean exhibition of scientific boxing
should feel well repaid. Wheeler, al
though he has not participated in any
recent contests, was formerly feather
weight amateur boxing champion of
the Pacific coast, and is considered one
of the best amateurs in the ring today.
In his opponent. w. r. Coe, he Will
undoubtedly meet an opponent worthy
of his STEEL for the latter boxer Is at
present both Southern California and
Pacific amateur boxing champion, and
many who have seen his work predict
for him a great future. Coe is not
only a clever ring general, but he is
one of the hardest hitters who ever trod
the canvas of an amateur ring, and is
one of the few who can stand the gaff.
Boscha to Box Coulter
All who witnessed the recent Pacific
coast boxing championship contests at
Venice carried away with them a pleas
ant memory of the high class exhibit
tion nut up by Charles Boscha and
Sam Coulter and although the latter
was awarded the decision Boscha ran
such a close second that until Referee
Blake raised the formers arm in token
of victory the result was in doubt.
Boxing Instructor Van Court predicts
that both of these boys will prove the
EQUALS of any in their class in the
United States.
When the gong sounds for the
Rooney Urgo affair, one of the fiercest
contests of the evening is looked for
ward to. as both lads are hard hitting,
nifrt1t tg IC
Southern California and Pacific coast
champion, but Rooney is the only boy
who ever stayed three rounds with him
in the ring. and the latter believes that
this time he will merit the decision.
Both boxers are in first class condt-
ton, and many believe that this three
round go will be the class of the
evening.
schoiI to Don Gloves
Another closely contested bout is
promised when Freddy Scholl and
Berry Hatton step into the ring. AL
though Scholl lost to Sneider at Turner
hall. he was at that time not only in
experienced. but in poor condition.
Many of the fans who witnessed the
go. which went four rounds. declare,
however that Scholl was clearly en-
titled to the decision. Hatton also lost
to Sneider although having the better
of the argument during the first three
rounds The lads are evenly matched.
both confident and will enter the battle
to win.
The last match of the evening, be-
tween Cogdill and Beauchamp, should
be fitting climax for an attractive
card. Cogdill is the present Pacific
coast welterweight champion, and won
his title when Weighing but 14O pounds,
giving away five pounds to his oppo-
nent. Probably the toughest customer
who could be selected for this lad is
Beauchamp Of the Broadway Physical
Culture school, who won the Southern
california welterweGht championship
at Turner hall, but lost to Coulter at
Venice The bout should be fast, and
there is much speculation as to the
outcome.
With the exceptions of Rooney, Ur-
go. Hatton, Cogdill and Beauchamp.
every lad who participates in the con-
test is a member of the l.. A. A. G.
Assistant Secretary Henderson feels
confident that sufficient money will be
raised to send the athletes north, while
Instructors Trealor and Van Court are
equally firm in their belief that their
proteges will do both themselves and
the club credit. An admission of 30
cents will be charged for the exhibition,
to which women will be admitted.
