1t looks like match that will interest
every follower of the manly art of
self-defense.
At last nights conference Hogan.
was represented by his manager. Wal
ter Franey. while AL White of Oakland
appeared for Frayne. 1t was spirited
discussion between the two managers
and the promoter. Hogan's representa-
tive holding out for a fat bonus for his
man. They finally came to terms when
the match looked to be off.
According to the terms of agreement.
Hogan and Frayne are to box for a
percentage OF the gross receipts. This
will be divided 75 per cent to the win
ner and 25 per cent to the loser. which
goes to show that each man is very
confident of his ability to down the
other. In case of a draw. the money Is
TO be divided equally between the pair.
Hogan is one of the most sensa-
tional Gghtweights ever produced in
California and. although he has never
gone more than four rounds. he has
built up a fighting reputation that has
made him famous not only here. but
throughout the country. Like Jimmy
Britt. the gallery gods turn out to see
Hogan beaten. but invariably he brings
home the spoils.
Two years ago Frayne was in line
for the lightweight championship of
the world. Then he suddenly went
back in the betting. losing to Lew
Powell and then collapsing entirely

few months ago, when he went TO
New Orleans and, by holding Tommy
Murphy and Owen Moran safe for 10
rounds. showed that he had come

Frayne is now being handled by
White, a we'll known capitalist and
sporting man on the other side of the
bay. White has always been known as
a game bettor and he will back Johnny
to the limit against Hogan. Frayne
will start training Immediately at
Whites gymnasium. adjoining Free
mans park in Oakland Three weeks
of steady work should put him on
edge.
Frayne and Hogan used to be the
greatest of friends before Hogan
sprang into the 1imelight. Now each
is fairly aching for a chance to get at
the other a feud having interfered
with their oldtime friendship. Each
boxer thinks that the other is soft
mark for him and this bids fair to
stimulate lot of healthy interest in
the bout.
Battling Nelson believes in the time
worn adage. ITS never too 4ate to
learn" There are but few men in
the pugilistic ranks who adhere to this
rule, but the Durable Dane is going
to take a chance He's going to make
a fast. whirlwind campaign of 1t when
he goes in against Owen Moran at
Blot's arena next Saturday afternoon,
for he has come to the conclusion that
his one good chance TO batter down
the. clever Britisher is to keep right
on top of him all the time and never
give him chance to get away
This is the plan of campaign which |
the Battler has outlined for himself |
He intends to abandon his old time |
plodding method. He's not going to
stand there and take four or five wal
lops in order to get an opening to |
deliver one for himself. He's going /
to try to deliver the four or five and |
let the one go for the other fellow
This is the way Bat has 1T mapped |

ton as TO whether he will be able 1
to put his carefully laid plans into
execution. This remains TO be deter
mined when the Britisher dances out In
front of him. The Dane is very seri- /
ous in anything which he undertakes.
He puts his whole heart and soul into
his work. 1t does not make any diff
ference TO him how much they kid 1
him or how much they laugh at him.

It was noticed by all the fans in

that he showed more speed than ever
before in the first five six rounds.
But after that time he began to slacken
