Owing to the weight arrangement, the
main event looks like closer contest
than their former meetings, which were
plenty exciting and nerve racking Tor

Carey matched the boys at 1875 pounds,

the club rooms. Owing to this ar
rangement Picato will go into the ring
at his best form and will carry the
hopes of a greater number Of fans than
would have been the case were they
matched at the lightweight limit. Inc
weight arrangement favors him more
than it does Memsic.
1t is not expected that either will
have any difficulty in making the
weight, as Picato was almost at weight
yesterday and has all this day in which
TO dry out to the required mark. Mem
sic, since he recovered his health, has
found it very easy to make the light
weight limit, so he will be at weight
without the slightest difficulty when
the hour rolls around for him to step
on the scales. Despite the fact that
Picato is regarded as being more IA
Nored than Memsic in the matter of
weights, the Bohemian rules 10 to s

going in to back both boys at these
odds.

casion Secretary Hancock has placed
the yweights-Henry Caresse and
Chris Johnson-flrst on the bill. They
will go six rounds, and as both are
knockout fighters, and game, their
scrap should be settled decisively with

Paul Roman, a scrappy little fighter,

back the good news that Vernon had

GLEASON GOES TO TALK
WITH JEFF ABOUT FIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-Jack
Gleason, the fight promoter, announced
last night that he probably will leave
for Portland this morning to have a
talk with Jim Jeffries, whose show is
billed in that city for Friday. He
hopes, he says, to take up the question
of the probable location of the fight
in Salt Lake City or here, and the
report from New York that the fight
may be declared off. A morning paper
today attempts to draw from the gem
eral belief that Jeffries show will not
be presented here, an inference that
the eX-ehampion is chilly toward San
Francisco.

lately, but Roman showed such great
speed and punching ability in his re-

The old-time favorite, Kiddo Dalton,
the spaghetti champ, gets back in the

match for long time. Like Roman, he
has found most of the boys in his. class
sidestepping him, and it was difficult

Just as was predicted several weeks
ago, the Frisco promoters are butting
in on McCarey's game again, trying to
sign up Langford with Bill Lang for
the Australians American tryout. They
wait until McCarey pays railroad fares
