KETCHEL WILL
FIGHT FIREMAN
FLYNN TO MEET ASSASSIN
HERE IN DECEMBER
MIDDLEWEIoHT CHAMPION TO
RECEIVE $4,000
Geyer May Sign Today for Return
Match with Wlllls-sullivan to
Meet cappelle at Ten
Rounds

Stanley Ketchel, the assassin, ana
Jim Flynn of Pueblo have been
matched by Manager McCarey Of the
Pacific Athletic club for a ten-round
fight to be held in the latter part of
December at the Maud Junction pa
vilion. Ketchel will receive $4,000 for
his end, win, lose or draw, while Flynn
will receive $1,000. The men will meet at
catch weights. AS consequence the
Willis-Flynn match will not take place,
owing to the fact that Flynn does not
wish TO fight anyone prior to his bout
with Ketchel.
Out of half dozen probable matches
which McCarey Is contemplating stag
ing within the next few months the
Flynn -Ketchel match looms up with
startling prominence. That the fight
will be one of the most furious ever
witnessed in the Angel City local fans
do not question. The fighters, both of
whom would rather stand in ring
and slug away than trust to clever
defensive tactics and infighting, are
two of the gamest men who ever
donned a pair of mitts. Ketchel VIII,
of course, enter the ring a favorite
over the fighting fireman, although on
dope the men stack up about equal.
The Assassin took much debated
decision from Billy Papke at San
Francisco. Papke came south and
little difficulty in out-hghting the Illi-
nois thunderbolt at ten rounds. A
definite date for the contest will be
set within the immediate future.
Notwithstanding his recent defeat at
the hands of Joe Willis, Jack Geyer
is more than ready to meet the hard
hitting San Francisco boy In re-
turn match. Articles probably Will be
signed by the two fighters today for
meeting on November 80.
AS a semi-windup to the Attel-Web-
ster fight. to be held November 20,
frankie Sullivan and Billy Cappelle
have been matched TO travel ten
rounds. The boys viii weigh in at 3
o'clock at 122 pounds. and it is likely
that a big side bet will go with the
result.
Meanwhile Gene McGovern, who made
such work of Young Pico Tuesday
evening. is making every effort to get
on with the winner. McGovern lost
to Cappelle at their previous meeting,
and asserts that If given another
chance he will take the San Pedro
boys measure. If unable to secure
match with the winner of the Sullivan
Cappelle fight, McGovern is willing to
meet any 11S or 122-pound boy on the
coast. King Hogan is managing the
Milwaukee whirlwind.
Monte Attell Is expected TO arrive
Monday and will go to Jack Doyle's
to train. He will be accompanied by
his manager and trainer Harry Foley,
who declared in n letter that he would
have Monte in prime shape this time
for a winning battle. Webster has
chosen Eastside for his training camp
and will be In good condition also. The
bantams will weigh in at 115 at 3
o'clock.
Jimmy Austin will leave Monday for
San Francisco, where he hopes to get
on with some OF the best boxers OF the
northern city.

GLENDALE GIRLS TEAM
DEFEATS |. A. QUINTET

The girls basketball team of the
Glendale high school defeated the Los
Angeles high team yesterday afternoon
by the score of 20 to II. The game was
good exhibition of fast basketball.
Glendale showed marked ability in get
ting the ball down field, but depended
mainly on the forward, Pearl Goode,
for baskets. All through the game the
L. A. high players were on the de-
fensive, except for the last few min
utes in the last quarter, when they
rallied and doubled their count. Anna
bel Buchanon showed up to her best
advantage at this period of the game,
throwing wonderfully accurate backets.
Josephine Rosenthal also did fine work
for the L. A. team. Pearl Goode was
easily the star of the Glendale high.

SAN BERDoo sPoRTsMEN
MAY FORM GUN CLUB

SAN BERNARDINo, Nov 1.-THE
Urbita Gun club of this city, with
membership of $50, is planning Oh Sc
curing a duck reserve at some con-
venient point within the county at easy
reach. AS yet no steps have been taken
to secure options on suitable lands, but
the club plans on spending in the
neighborhood of $500 annually in the
maintaining of the proposed reserve.
Victorville has been suggested as the
best location for the grounds, and it is
probable that if the desired land can
be secured along the Mojave river
within the vicinity of that point steps
will be taken to lease it.

IBy Associated Press. ]

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-The an
nual intercollegiate football game be-
tween Stanford university and the
University of California will be played
tomorrow on the stanford campus, and
from the showing made by each team
in preliminary games the struggle will
be one of the most thrilling in which
the rival colleges have engaged in
many years.
Since the two big universities OF the
coast adopted the Rugby game four
years ago to take the place of Ameri-
can football Stanford has won every
varsity contest; but the California men
are putting into the field this year the
strongest and best trained team they
have ever had, and are hopeful of vic
tory.
soth Teams Heavy
The teams of the two universities
this year are the heaviest which ever
represented the rival institutions. The
stanford fifteen averages 179 pounds to
the man, while the Callfornians are
figured at III. Most Of the heavy
weights are in the serum ranks, and
figuring only these forwards Stanford s
average is 1913 pounds, 'California's $780,
Betting on the contest has been SLOW
to start, owing to the fact that the
final lineup Of the teams was not given
out until today At present the odds
are 10 to in Stanford's favor, and this
fairly represents the showing of the two
teams in the seasons play with other
teams.
At Stanford preparations have been
made to handle the largest crowd that
has ever attended any event at the
university. Stanford field, where the
game will be played, was built several
years ago, and the full seating capacity
of the stands, which embrace three
sides of the field. will be filled to over
flowing. The field itself is a turf, and
since the Californians have prepared
for the game on heavy, sandy ground,
they will gain in speed by changing to
the grass plot. This is one of the ele-
ments which has been considered by
the sporting fraternity in fixing the
odds on the game.
Each college will be represented on
the bleachers by a solid mass of or
ganized rooters, primed with yells and
songs with which the teams will be
cheered on through the fight. The root
ers will he decorated with "rooter
hats" as on previous occasions, with
headgear presenting a field of their
respective colors, Stanford showing the
cardinal and California the blue and
gold.

Interests of the bootfall fans of the
south are centered today on the game
between the University of Southern
California and Pomona college which
will be played this afternoon at Bovard
field. This will be the second time
this season that Coach Stanton's Clare
mont braves have gone against any of
the heavier teams in the south, and
todays result will indicate pretty sure
ly where the conference championship
will lay this year.
SO far. the Pomona team has been
rather the dark horse" among the
conference colleges. They have met
several of the lesser teams In Southern
California with Indifferent success, but
no idea of their real strength could be
derived from these as in nearly every
case the bulk of their team was made
up Of subs. Just what they will do
against the crack Methodist eleven Is
matter of conjecture.
Many OF the local football dopesters
believe that Stanton has something up
his sleeve to be sprung today. Seem
ingly the Sagebrush coach has done
his best to make his team show TO a
disadvantage. They have only player
the weakest elevens and their last con-
test, with Throop polytechnic, was al

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The tentative
bids for the Jeffries-Johnson prize
fight which are expected to be con-
siderably thinned out by December l,
include two offers from San Francisco,
one from Los Angeles, two from the
state of Washington, one from Idaho,
one from Nevada, one from Oklahoma,
one from Paris and one from Australia.
AS both Jeffries and Johnson have ex-
pressed a preference for California, and
as it is doubtful If the fight can be held
elsewhere in this country it Is con-
sidered more than probable that the big
fight will go to Coffroth or Gleason of
San Francisco or McCarey of Los An

fighting outside of this country.
