ATHLETICS
JAPANESE MAY NOT
BE ALLOWED TO RUN
OBJECTIONS MADE BECAUSE
HE is NOT ANGELEN0
Contestants Claim Race at Fiesta
Stadium Is for Runners on Pa
cific Coast, Not for
Outsiders

There is a possibility that Kittie Kit
suse, the little New York japanese,
who was entered in the Marathon race
which will be held at Fiesta stadium,
next Saturday, will have to run the
race by himself if he wants to run at
ALL as all of the other candidates OBJ
1ect to him starting on the grounds
he is not a resident of Los Angeles.
The runners contend, as the race is for
the runners of the Pacific coast, Kit
suse is not eligible to compete.
The protest was started because Kit
suse carried on a conversation with a
fellow countryman in an automobile
which went with the runners to Venice
and never seemed to take a long breath
throughout the entire distance, and
finished as strong as he started.
This was a. revelation to the other
runners who registered a complaint
with the promoters of the race, who
now have the matter under advisement.
Kitsuse declared yesterday afternoon
he would run any way, even If he was
prevented from receiving any compen-
sation from those interested in the
race, if for no other reason than to
show the Los Angeles public he is at
least the peer of all Japanese runners,
The matter will be decided this after
noon at a meeting of the promoters,
when Kitsuse will be notified whether
he is to run for glory or for money.

ANOTHER coFFRoTH JOKE

NEW YORK, May 11.-Young Cor
bett has received a telegram from Pro-
moter Coffroth offering him a $4,000
purse for a twenty-five round bout with
Jimmy Britt some time in the near
future.
Britt is in Europe at present, but is
expected to sail for home as soon as he
receives Coffroth's offer. The proposed
fight will be at Colma, Cal.
COrbett and Harry Scroggs will fight
fifteen rounds at Baltimore tonight. and
a red hot argument is expected. If he
wins this battle Corbett says he will be
ready to take on Leach Cross at 1873 to
1875 pounds. Cross has shown no desire
for a fight with Corbett, but the ex-
perts agree that much depends on the
outcome of tonight's encounter at Bal
timore.

Shy at Mcfarland
Match

SAN FRANCISCO, May H. - AL
though Jimmy Coffroth and Battling
Nelson met this afternoon for the first
time since the Dane declared off his
Fourth of July fight with Packy Nc
Farland, that subject was but briefly
discussed between the pair.
you are going to fight Hyland on
May 49, aren't you?" asked Coffroth of
the lightweight champion.
Sure" was the response.
"Well, you had better get over that
hurdle before you begin to talk of
making other Matches" retorted COT
froth.
And with that they parted.
Il saw Nelson only about fifteen
minutes" declared the promoter II
didn't care to discuss the question of
his Mcfarland fight with him. We
met in a friendly spirit and parted the
same way
Coffroth said also: willis Britt sent
me another wire tonight saying that
Ketchel wanted to fight on a July date,
and I guess it will be easy to arrange
the match if Nelson defaults on the
Mcfarland fight.

NO ROWING AMONG SAINTS

Rowing in Southern California this
season will not be one of the water
sports in intercollegiate athletics this
fall. Rev. Father Martin, chairman Of
the st. Vincent's Athletic association
when asked yesterday if a rowing crew
would be formed by the Saints, said
nay. I'VE like to give our athletes all
the recreation possible, but there will
be nothing doing in the rowing depart
ment. The faculty athletic committee
has regretted that it cannot have just
as strong a rowing crew as the north
ern universities. The sport is in itself
so noble a one and the standing of the
rowing men in the college this year was
so slight that we were loath to advise
measures which might seem to foster
rowing this season.
San Diego has a good rowing crew, as
well as one harbored by Naples, and
from the information CLEANED by the
press of the southern city there is
possibility that a match race will be
held in the near future by these teams.
No definite date has been set, but in all
probability the race will be held during
the first week in September

seconds of the final round of 15-round
fight before the Eureka Athletic club

city. but the latter was saved by the

himself with the decision.
Scroggs made a good showing at long
range fighting during several rounds
but Jared badly at close range and ap-
neared to make little effort TO keep
Corbett away. The latter showed
scarcely mark at the finish, while the
right side of Scroggs' face was in bad
shape. 49,.
In the third round Scroggs had the
better of the argument, and Corbett s
handlers were only restrained by the

CHAPPELE WINS
OVER MURRAY
GIVEN DECISION AT END OF
TWELVE ROUNDS
VICTOR is AGGRESSoR FROM
START TO FINISH
Both Men Engage in Hard lnfighting
in Bout Before San Pedro
Athletic Club-Three
PreIimnares

SAN PEDRO, May 11.-Bill Chappele
this evening in his bout of twelve
rounds with Kid Murray before the San
Pedro Athletic club was awarded the
decision over Murray by Referee Jim
my Davis. From the start to finish
Billy Chappele was the aggressor.
In the first round Chappele started
the milling by planting left and rightS
on Murray's nose and showed that ~
was Murray'S master. Chappele was
much stronger than his opponent and
the second round was Chappeles Some
hard infghting was engaged in by
both men with Chappele on the long
end.
In the fourth round Murray tried his
best for a knockout punch and rained
several blows on the face in quick
succession, but no damage was done b,
either fighter. In the seventh roud
Chappele repeatedly jabbed Murray's
left optic.
In the eighth round Chappele start
ed the fireworks by repeating his tao
ties of the previous rounds. The last
ten seconds was the fiercest of the en-
tire bout, and on inighting Chappele
put it all over Murray, which brought
the 700 fans to their feet and which
would have scored a knockout for him
had not the bell sounded
From this round on to the last it was
all Chappele's.
In the preliminaries, as a curtain
raiser, Kid Fowler and Kid Dutch gave
tame exhibition of the manly art of
self-defense, and Referee Davies, after
four rounds of fighting raised both
fighters hands in the air, which sig
nified it was a draw
The second preliminary only lasted
ten seconds. After a little fiddling be-
tween Me Chappele and Kid Martin
the former went to the mat for the
count of ten.
Young Pico and Kid Livermore were
the next to appear in the arena. They
went six rounds to a draw LiVermore
seemed to be the aggressor, was glut-
ton to take punishment, and mixed it
with Plco in every stage of the fight.
The spectators raised considerable of
a commotion and voiced their opinion
that Livermore was entitled to the de-
cison.
In the second round Livermore tried
hard for knockout, and in the fifth
round Pico was saved by the bell from
going to the land of nod. This bout
went six rounds.

ASKS FOR LENIENCY
FOR LIQUOR SELLER
Chief Makes Plea for Italian Who
Served Drinks on Sunday
in Violation of
Law

Although it was on his recommends
ton that Charles Coppo, who conducts
the Hotel d'Italia at So San Fernando
street, was cited to appear before the
police commission last night TO show
cause why his license should not be
revoked, Chief Dishman entered plea
for Coppo by telling the commission
this restaurant was the best conducted
OF any in SonoratoWn.
Sunday, May ., Chief Dishman and
Detective Chapman rambled through
Sonoratown to learn why there are so
many drunks in that district on sun
day. They easily found the reason and
told the police commission last night
that it was because there are five res
taurants in one block with restaurant
liquor licenses that are practically sun
GAY saloons. The evidence showed that
as much liquor as could be consumed
would be served with a plate of beans
or soup, while no attempt was made
to serve a bona fide meal. Patrolman
Leon, an italian police officer working
on this beat, declared there was more
drunkenness on this one block on Sun
day than on any week day, although
there are eight saloons within three
blocks that run on week days and close
on Sundays.
The evidence showed that Coppo,
who understands but little English, was
only doing what has been done in the
same place for many years and which
all his countrymen who conduct res
taurants do. Through his attorney and
interpreter he promised the board that
if his license was not revoked he would
willingly follow any suggestions con-
corning the conduct of his business that
they might offer.
The matter was taken under advise
ment until tonight, when two other
restaurants in the same district and
which Chief Dshman says are worse
cases than the Hotel d'Italia will be
under investigation

reported to be much improved yes

the injury. The detection of the ball
half an inch either way would have
