FOUR NEW FIGHTERS
TO APPEAR FRIDAY
Seven-5out Card viii Be Staged by
Manager McCarey at Naud-Kid
Bait VIII Enter First Local
Conflict

Manager McCarey has gone out of the
beaten path somewhat and is staging a
card for next Friday night in which
there will be no main event" all Of
the bouts to be of a moderate number
of rounds, with the express idea of Civ
ing the fans plenty OF action and some
good boxing thrown in. The program
will consist of seven events, as follows:
Steeple Jack Martin VS., Willie Mack,
six rounds.
Frankie Sullivan VS.. Johnny Hugo,
six rounds.
Mike Kutchos VS.. Young Togo, six
rounds.
Herb White VS.. Kid Barnes, six
Kid Myers VS.. Roy Rogers, four
rounds.
Harry Housler VS.. Norman Stone,
four rounds.
Kid Bait VS.. Young Earn, four rounds.
Had it not been for a broken hand
Steeple Jack Martin would have fought
Mack six months ago, but in the course
of training Steeple Jack broke his mitt
on his sparring partners head and the
fight at that time was called off.
frankie Sullivan could not bear the
thought of remaining out of the game
for a heightened period, so he bit at the
opportunity to meet Johnny Hugo for
six rounds, although the conqueror of
Hobo Dougherty will outweigh Sullivan
by four pounds. Sullivan has a gallop-
ing style of milling which the fans like,
but he will have his hands full Friday
against the clever Hugo. That he Will
carry the fight to his opponent may
easily be surmised from the style show
in his former contests.
Mike Kutchos will try once more to
show that he is able to hold his own in
~ fy-triin hi nj ic
time being the Observation-Disclosures
Young Togo. Eddie Robinson reports
that the Jap has improved greatly of
late and that Kutchos will be surprised
at the speed he will show in the coming
bout Mike has been practicing a new
brand also and is using his right hand
for hitting-something he never before
attempted. The bout should be good
one, as each of the lads is anxious TO
make a showing.
Herb White polished off the big Jap
so completely that his temperance
against Kid Barnes, who also gained a
victory at the last show, will be
watched with interest White has given
good exhibitions of gameness and hit
ting ability in his fights before some of
the country clubs, and in going against
Barnes he will have a good opportunity
to show of what stuff he is made, for
Barnes is there also with the kick.
In the four-round goes some fast
work is anticipated. The boys are
anxious to make a good showing and
will go to work as soon as the gong
taps and promise to keep up the action.
-Four of the boys will appear in the
Maud ring for the first time.

HERNON and Portland will play the
Y deciding game of the series this
afternoon at Chutes park. Monday
is travelling day in the Coast league, but
the two teams will meet to.sfll out the
full series of seven games constituting
the weeks play Owing to the long
jump made by Portland it was impos-
sible to play last Tuesday, and this
game was arranged by the schedule
committee to supersede the Tuesday af
fair. AS Vernon has won three games,
Portland two, and one was a tie, VIC
tory today will give the locals an easy
lead for the series, while a reverse YER
dict win tie them up for week. Hogan
will be fighting all the time today, and
on the form of the two aggregations
this week it looks like Vernon today.
A good crowd with plenty of gingery
support for Hap will help things along.
Portland and Los Angeles play here
beginning tomorrow. and whatever the
result of the present series, the Angels
are sure to find the McCredie pets
chastened and subdued lot. The disci-
plining given them by Mccarthy has
been wholesome lesson, the first ad-
ministered the rowdies this season. Let
us hope it will prove salutary Nc
Carthy has given the fans and the
players a week of impartial and ac-
curate decisions, and he is solidly sup
ported in his action against those in
dividual players who have from time to
time tried to carry the game by rough
house, stormy tactics. In his past per-
formances Jack Mccarthy has dis
played good judgment and fairness, and
it is not for Portland to rule him a
poor or prejudiced umpire. But if
this experience is not enough the Bea-
vers will get a whole wagonload of
fines and penalties if they endeavor to
force matters with the husky but quiet
McGreevy.
Beall, the tall Chicagoan who is hold
ing down-nay, rather lifting upright
field for the Angels, seems to be almost
as much of hit with the Sacramento
fans as he is with the local enthusiasts.

ceives a cheer, and his hitting this
week, though not of the phenomenal
nature of last weeks work, has beFn
steady and consistent enough to WIN
the warm praise of the capital city
baseball scribes. No matter what Bedll
does throughout the remainder of the
season the fans will not forget his SEN
sational batting in the last series
against the Senators.
Word comes from Chicago that
Comiskey. big chief of the White SoX.
has traded three of his players to
Washington for Pitcher Burns. The
big twirler is so highly thought of by
Magnate Chawles that he has shipped
Pitcher Nick Altrock, First Baseman
Donohue, and even his own pride, Out
fielder Cravath, to the Washington
club That Gravy, stick marvel that he
is, should be let go by Comiskey, when
the Windy city papers have been filled
with wonderful accounts of his timely
hitting and steadiness, and one scribe
even went so far as to remark that
.Cravath can hold center garden Tor
the rest of his life if he desires" comes
as a shock to his friends and admirers
in Los Angeles. Cravath's prospects
seemed to be most brilliant, and news
regarding the reasons why is anx-
iously awaited in this city. Evidently
Comiskey was badly in need of top
notch twirler Cravath may give Comis-
key cause for regret that he let him go,
for the stocky slugger seems ripe for
sensational performances.

who sizes up like a real fighter, is again
to be given a trial by the Pacific Ath-

in experience. Togo hates to stop, and
there are many who hope Mike will be
given a deserved whipping. One more
