LONDON, May 25.-The greatest OF
all horse races, the Derby, which will
be run at EPSON Downs tomorrow,
promises to be the most interesting
Derby of a decade The possibility that
King Edwards Mlnoru will win the
Purse of $3.50 and gain the distinc-
ton of being the first reigning monarch
to take the classic gives the contest an
Importance that cannot be overestimat-
ed in the eyes of the British public.
Minoru is now a hot favorite for the
event. Although last year this colt was
not rated in the first class, he made
phenomenal improvement during the
winter He easily won the 1000 guineas
at Newmarket April 20. His principal
opponent is considered to be Louis
Linan's Sir Martin, from John e. Mad
denis Kentucky farm, which Is sup
posed to have cost his present owner
$4,000. Sir Martin is now in the very
best of form. He recently won the
Welter plate at Newmarket, and since
then has given every evidence that he
will be in the running in tomorrow

FAST BOUTS AT
SAN PEDRO CLUB
"HOBO" DOUGHERTY WINNER
FROM KID MURRAY
CHANGE is MADE IN THE FINAL
CONTEST
Billy chappelle Fails to Appear and
Opponent Whips Substitute-Two
Classy Preliminary Battles
Are Staged
BY RED PERKINS

SAN PEDRO, May 25.-Three classy
bouts were fought here this evening be-
fore the San Pedro Athletic club. Ow-
ing to the fact that Billy Chappelle,
who was scheduled to go fifteen rounds
with Hobo Dougherty of Milwaukee,
failed to appear in the arena because
he was suffering with a severe attack
of the mumps, Kid Murray, who gave
Chappelle a run for his life last week
in the same arena, was taken on in
stead and made a creditable showing
notwithstanding the fact that he was
called upon without training. The bout
went fifteen rounds, and as the contest
progressed little by little it was plain
that 'Dougherty was Murray's master
throughout.
Dougherty opened the milling by
showing the heel of his glove in Muir
rays face and at the same time send
ing in a stiff left to the stomach. In
the first round some hard infghting
was done, and as the bell sounded
Dougherty had the shade.
In the second round Hobo put Muir
ray down with a hard right to the
head, but he recovered quickly and
came back for more punishment.
Dougherty had the opportunity of his
life to finish the fight right here, but
failed to follow up his advantage. Lat
er on he rocked Murray's head with
left and right, but could not put him
down for the count of ten.
In the third round Dougherty tried
for a knockout punch, and with lefts
and rights sent Murray to the floor
again, but was on his feet like flea
Murray was a glutton for punishment
In the sixth round Murray was sent
nearly through the ropes with hard
right to the head, and the bell was
the only thing that saved him from go
ing to the land of nod. The remainder
of the rounds were tame, and both
contestants slowed up. The decision
was received with applause. Jimmie
Davis of San Pedro was referee.
Considerable i'll feeling was manifest
ed over the decision in the first bout
of the evening between Livermore and
Martin, which went four rounds to
draw, according to the decision of
Referee Davis. Livermore had the best
of the fight from the first round to the
last and did most of the leading all the
way. To the surprise of the audience,
Davis called it draw. After the fight
Davis came over to Herald repre-
sentative and said, Both men agreed
that If they were on their feet at the
end of the last round 1t should be
called a draw" Davis was censured by
the crowd for failing to announce this
agreement.
The second curtain raiser of the
evening was between Young Pico and
Higuera, which finished in a draw. A
small house was present, for the rea
son that early in the evening the fans
were tipped off to the fact that Chap
pelle would not appear.

to back her with a reasonable wager.
Miss Burgess in a recent fishing match

best shape the evening of June 1. Sui
Ivan has chosen Venice for his working
ground, and with the assistance of his
brother Gene and Willie Mack he is
putting in some good ticks at the beach
resort.
Montana Sullivan is not so well
known in Los Angeles as Flynn, but he
has a good record in the north, never
having lost a fight althouh he has en-
gagged in twenty-four contests.
Sullivan has aspirations for the mid
dleweight championship, and he hopes
that his showing with the fireman will
be such that the Pacific Athletic club
will get him either Ketchel or Papke
draw with the champion showed that
he possessed considerable class even
at the early date of that contest.
Danny Webster has started training
at the pavilion, and Al Emick, who will
arrive this morning will begin work i'm
