the Coast.

San Francisco. Aug 20.-When Sid
Hester signed up his double card for
his August date he made the wisest
move OF his career as a fight promo
ter. The Hyland-Frayne bout Is
strong In itself-in fact, as strong as
any card offered by the city promoters
this year-but with a 20-round argu-
ment for the bantamweight champion
ship of the world as an added attrac-
ton the card stands out as one of the
best offered the fight fans OF this city
for many months.
While the principal interest centers
in the meeting OF the liGhtweigbts. Hy-
land and Fraync. the little fellows
will share with them the honors or
the night. as Cove, by his willingness
to fight for nothing moro than his
training expenses, has awakened more
than the ordinary share of interest
that is the lot of man making his
first local appearance. The winner OF
each of the contests will have path
OF roses as far as securing matches Is
concerned Not so much can be pic
tured for the losers The knowledge
of the good future for win Is fore
most in the minds OF all the chaps and
they are all training for red.hot mills

Frayne Working Hard.
Johnny Frayne. the very promising
local lad, who will either make or
completely unmake himself when he
takes on Fighting Dick" Hyland to-
night. has trained more conscientious
ly than he ever did i'm his whole ca
reer a victory over Hyland means
much to him. He is promised chance
against the Battler, IL he wins To
get in the ring with the rushing Dane
Is the one hope Of the clever Johnny.
Heinie Rafael. who pilots the fstic
fortunes of Frayne, Is sweet on
meeting with Nelson. No amount of
argument can convince Rafael that
Nelson Is not I'll TO be plucked. just
as Young Corbett was, and he wants
Fravne to be the man In the garden
when the plucking is done Should
Frayne win over Hyland, Rafael win
not consider any offer until he gets
the final refusal of the champion.
So certain Is Frayne of his ability
10 win from Nelson, that he would be
easily tempted into taking on Oscar
Matthew for the sole purpose of get
ting the chance at the title, giving
Nelson all the money. This being the
case, It should not be difficult to ar.
range the match The man who COIL
ditioned Leach Cross for his fight with
Hyland. and who studied Dicks every
move In the ring-Johnny Loftus-is
authority for the statement that
Fraync Will win. LOTUS is training
Frayne. and while he advised his
friends not TO wager their money on
Cross, as he feared the distance. is
telling them to go down. "hook. line
and sinker." on Frayne's chances.
This, coming from so conservative a
fellow as LOTUS, must hear some
weight

a few small bets made make At
tell a favorite over Cove at 10 to Z,
while Hyland rules over Frayne at
l TO 9, with the possibility of the
odds lengthening with the same men
favorites. Attell and Hyland have
brought home the money very regular
ly and are naturally the fovorites OF
the men who risk their money on tie
outcome of a mix with the gloves.
Cove will be backed to some extent
on account OF his sincerity OF purpose,
while the many offers TO back Frayne
against Corbett speak we'll Tor the re,
gard his friends have for him and his
ability.
