Two weeks from next Saturday and

California is to come to the front with
another limb on the tree which pro-
duces the pugilistic champions. Two
weeks from next Saturday one Round
Jack Hogan. the best looking light
weight We have produced since Jimmy
Britt was right, meets Johnny Frayne
in his first long distance contest, the
one that must tell the tale.
Hogan looks and acs like the max
ings Of a world renowned performer.
All he lacks is the test and Frayne is
2 very good man to furnish this. being
clever, fast and experienced. Frayne
is Just as sure that be viii eliminate
Hogan from the ranks Of the higher
ups in boxing society as Hogan IS that
he viii send Frayne back to where he
started Now the fans VIII have to
wait and see for themselves.
IT IS barely possible that the fans
expect too much Of Hogan. Though he
has never gone further than the four
round limit, he has been boosted and
touted 30 the skies till his fame has
spread as far eastward as New York.
Hogan will have a tough task on his
hands in his endeavOr TO make good
with them all. Unless he wins de-
cisively they viii be lOath to give the
one round terror all the credit that is
coming TO him, for the simple reason
that he's a second Britt. very unpopu-
lar with the gallery.
The ring IS sadly in need of some
new blood, hence Hogan is blossoming g

Hogan stands a grand chance of sweep

year or so.
But il all depends upon his start In
Frayne he meets a young man, fun of
cleverness and plenty Of good expert

couple of years ago and now is en-
deaVOring TO @come back This Is the
big black mark against him. Since last
Saturdays affair it's practically i'm
possible to convince a fan that anys of
them can come back"
Frayne has a game and a hopeful
hacker in Al White, the Oakland sport
ingman. White has taken hold of
Johnny and stands ready TO back him
with plenty Of money. 1t was he who
sent Frayne down TO New Orleans,
where he made so good against Moran
and Tommy Murphy I'm 10 round bouts
and he is just As confident that johnny
can stop HOgan's rushes.
Unless Hogan or Frayne makes good
TO the satisfaction Of all the critics
California viii have to rely upon the
east for the big cards during the next
year or the next couple of years. In
the past. the Golden state always had
its men right i'm the front ranks. II
needs them more now than ever be-
fore. Now is the time for Hogan and
Frayne 10 tear in.
j. Z. White, attorney for the church
federation. is again bothering District
Attorney Fickert about the BOXING
game. White has been very quiet since
the Jehries-Johnson affair, but now nc
is up and protesting again. and he has
taken occasion to call the district at

White is evidently the only one of the
$4,000 people in this city who ha:
taken occasion TO raise his voice in de-
noUncing the sport again. But he has
started. and the chances are that Flick
ert viii have to make some sort OF q
move
Last night Fickert announced that hc
would proceed against Nelson and
