Among the Boxers

Frank Picato was never more in ear
nest than in the present preparation
for his contest with Ad Wolgast at
McCarey's pavilion December IA, and
he will use every endeaVor to get in
the best possible shape for the fray
He realizes the great importance Of a
victory over the Milwaukee popular lad
PicatO is imbued with the idea that he
can beat Wolgast and, perhaps, knock
him out, and this will be his one idea
when he gets into the ring a week
from Tuesday evening. Picato put i'm
a busy day yesterday, boxnX six
rounds. and today he will give the fans
a good program at Eastside whore he
will don the mitts against Andy Rivers
and Harry Roman.
Wolgast viii be back to town Tues
day and will go to Doyle's and COM
plete his training for the bout. He
will gain some weight in the noun
tains and expects to benefit by his
outing before lac begins his regular
routine.
Hobo Dousherty and Joe Liyermore
have been matched for a siX-rOund
preliminary for the Wolgast-PicatO
contest. Livermore has been showing
up well i'm his recent bouts at the pa
viliOn and appears to be conner.
DoughertY has not been seen in the
Maud ring for some time and the fans
will be glad to welcome him again, as
his style of fighting is pleasing, as he
never pauses while in the ring.
Another match which looks decidedly
interesting was partially completed
yesterday by the Pacific Athletic club
Frankie Conley and Kid Cleveland
were matched for the eemi-windup Of
the Wolgast-Picato event with the un-

to be placed on the chances of each.
Robert Loga already has deposited his
money with the Pacific Athletic club
for frankie Conley and Dr.. c. G.

amount for Cleveland tomorrow at
noon in the office of the club. The
boys will meet at lis at ?.

Well Known Auto Salesman

The many friends of ]. S. Purdy no.
tice the affable smile of that prince of
automobile salsemen these days, owing
to the fact that Purdy says it is the
easiest thing he ever tackled to sell
Paterson "30's."
Purdy has been in the automobile
business for so long that there is
scarcely a prospective buyer who does
not know him, and with the knowl-
edge he has of automobiles In general,
the confidence in his ability and word
as to what car will do, and assur-
ance Of the capacity and durability
of the machine gives the Paterson a
strong man with strong selling car
the opportunity he deserves.

written the Pacific Athletic club for
a match. What's the matter with put
ting him on with Jimmy Royal?
Although O'Connell probably will not
be seen in the ring on the fourteenth
it is likely that he will be given a
fight as preliminary to the next main
event, whatever that may be.
Secretary Hancock of the Pacific
Athletic club has been so favorably
impressed with the showing made by
Harry Norman that the newcomer
will be given match in the near
future. Wonder if he'll balk at AL
Rogers?
Angel city fans are unanimous in
wishing Jesse Orendorff success in his
venture as a promoter Go to 1t, Ore,
we need a little new blood along these
lines.
Dannie Webster is willing to meet
frankie Conley, providing, of course,
that Webster defeats Monte Attell at
Frisco. Danny is going pretty long
route in the northern city. Looks as
though Conley might have to wait in
definitely for a top notcher.
owner Matt Reiss has a valuable as
set in his contract in Jockey Kederis,
the little lad whom he picked up last
summer in Seattle. He was offered
$4,000 for the contract yesterday by q
turfnan whose name was withheld, and
the offer was declined. Reiss has great
faith in the boys future and will take
him to New York next year. Kederis
is 10 years old and was working in
tba ,,,inae whan Reice enDlOVod him.
He rode his first winner on July 10, and
for several weeks after that rode every
race without a mistake. His perform
ance in the saddle at EmeryVille has
excited comment.

Livinsstone's New Racing corbin

Livingstone's Corbin, which, notwith-
standing the fact that it was badly
afflicted as a wag said with "St. Vitus'
dance" has done its full duty and is
to be assigned with full honors to
lighter work, though just as good car
today as she ever was.
Recognizing the ability Of this speedy
pilot, the Corbin Motor company is
turning over to Al the larger roadster
with heavier frame and longer wheel
base, stripping her to racing condition.
and on Tuesday evening next she will
be ready for her test tryout on the
track at Ascot park for the six-hour
race of Sunday next.
The machine that has made such a
remarkable record all over the coun-
try has fully demonstrated the engine,
motor, machinery and construction of
the Corbin is not eXcelled in the coun-
try.
The Corbin company has never built
a racing car, but took one of it's 80
horse power stock cars and entered it
in hill climbs, reliability runs ana
races, just as though she had been
built as a racer.
The very car the people of this sec
ton have seen clip off so many events
to her credit and the credit of the
Corbin company has been in many
races and has had an eVentful ex
perience. In twenty-four cars started
in the Cobe race the little machine
went into the ditch, twisted her steer
ing gear after making three complete
somersaults, was righted, put back on
the track and finished tenth out of that
class of twenty-four cars.
The car Livingstone is to drive in
the future is the roadster which has
done service on the roads hereabouts
of over 5000 miles, and at San Diego,
where she was owned, 5000 miles more,
and yet she Is to compete with such
cars as the Jack Rabbit, Palmer
Singer, etc.
This shows the confidence Of the
owners in their car, and AL Living
stone will surely take her round the
corners at terrific clip. with the longer
wheel base.
