, that Morrie Bloom had failed to pass
the physical examination required by
the Pacific Athletic club physician, the
real sportsmen were commencing the
club and the physician for the precau-
tionary action. Had Bloom been per-
mitted to go ahead and had he been
killed in the ring, the sport would have
been wiped out of existence, and a
clever boxer would have been sacri-
feed to carelessness. McCarey never
permits a fighter to go into the ring
without submitting to a rigid physical
examination, and it is right and also
a matter of businesslike precaution.
Blooms pulse was so low yesterday
that it would have been dangerous for
him to engage in a fight, and there
was no hesitancy by McCarey in call
will thoughtlessly demur until the pro-
priety of the action sinks into their
ivory knobs, and they will keep on
seeing fights that they would not be
permitted to attend if some misstep
should kill the sport.
Claude Mathewson, one of the boys
and formerly a deputy sheriff, has gone
into business for himself. He has leased
the Playa del Rey tavern and takes
charge OF it Sunday. His popularity,
with the popularity of the resort, in
sures its success. and if he carries out
his announced plans the tavern will be-
come famous as one of the popular re-
sorts of the south coast. Improvements
of an extensive nature are to be made
at once and Mathewson will cater to
the high class trade that he deserves
to share with other coast resort pro-
prietors. His connection with the man
agement of the place means that 1t
always will be conducted in a high
class and satisfactory manner.
Eddie Webster manager of Danny,
has been on the milk wagon for so
long that he is almost ashamed of him
self Since taking charge of the re-
sponsiblities of a near champion Eddie
has confined his beverage exercises en-
tirely to buttermilk, and the hours he
keeps suggests a fighters training
routine. as he never sees an arc light
burning and has been disturbing the
Eastlake camp every night after s
o'clock with his snoring.
frankie Conley said last night that
he wants to keep busy for some time
and that he wants to stay here and de-
fend his title. He has offers from New
York to fight Pal Moore and other
bantams, but believes they can be
brought here for him. Since his great
showing against Webster the fans
want to see him mop up with other
near champions of the bantam diVi-
Sion, and Pal Moore, Johnny COulon
and few others look like good cards.
Conley showed that he could fight last
night, and probably will consent to
tackle some of them over a shorter
distance than the 45-round route. as
he wants to keep busy. and since he
has made himself a great drawing card
il seems that he should De acCOmmo-
dated lie figures on going to New
York early in the week unless some
thing turns up here.
Joe Livermore has gone to Sitka
Alaska, to fight some dub up there next
month. He received a guarantee of
$500 and two roundtrip tickets, and
left on boat yesterday.
George Memsic and Lew Powell will
meet for the third time May IA, when
they will step over the 25-round course
at Vernon. This should be sufficient
distance for them to definitely adjudge
their individual supremacy controversy
and it is such a good match that they
should pull down some good money for
the exhibition. Jim Cameron and Dick
Allen will put up a 20-round prelim-
mary the same day, and this. too,
should be a fine card. This fellow Nc
Carey surely is living on a bed of full
blooming American Beauties.
