Ing from the talk on the line and the
deductions reached by the so called
wise men Of istdom. the chances are
that Hogan viii become the favorite
today by st least point and that he

THIS. however. may be Offset by sud
oen rush Of Frsyne money ar the last
minute
II is z bit puzzling 70 some Of the old
timers They can not understand why
lad Ike Hogan, who has never gone
more than four rounds in, his nfe
should rule ~ evens with a seasoned
campaigner Ike his opponent. They
recall that Frayne beat Dick Hylsnd in
70 rounds and held his own against
owen Moran. Tommy Murphy and the
r'arvel0usly clever Freddie Welsh in
= wears.
But. as has been explained time after
flne. the bettors Of San Francisco are
the most peculiar set Of men in all the
world II they take a liking to boxer
ihey VIII plunge on him. no matter
what the conditions are and no matter
what sort Of a performer he IS pitted
against
This IS the reason why they have
made Hogan an even money choice
against Frayne. Another and very
plausible reason is that the four round
youngster is absolutely the hardest
hitting lightweight that this city has
produced in the last 10 or Is years. He
can hit from any angle and with either
hand II goes without saying that II
he lands 2 fun one on Fravne's jaw the

mony. for Hogan is always quick 10

Fravne is a splendid defensive man.

right hand He IS also fast and an all

his knockout record does not stand out

never was and probably never viii be.
He has a splendid one. two punch. with
which he hopes to pick of Hogan.
The one round terror has large
fouOWing Of friends around Vallejo.
snd also around Orland. Chico and
Woodland. They have been unlosd ding
their coin on him through his manager,
Walter Franey- The latter has also
wa gered several hundred dollars on the
chances of his protege. all Of which
las done whole lot TO keep him on
even terms with his more experienced
opponent who. mp to the present time,
las lacked this financial support.
Hogan occupies about the same posi-
rion that Jimmy Britt did when he was
in his prime. They all want TO see him
beaten. but at the same time they are
willing TO pay their good money for
this privilege. Thus Hogan is a great
pugilistic card. one Of the best box
Office men since Britts time.
Frayne dropped down to the 13s
pound mark Yesterday afternoon after
completing his days work, and Trainer
Thy kreling came to the conclusion
that the iDoy was about right. Frayhe's
weight was a source Of worry for many
of his friends during the last week.
From present indications. however, he
should be able 10 do 133 pounds four
hours before the battle without any
trouble
johnny worked five rounds yesterday
with Charley Reilly and Jimmy Allen.
He did not extend himself as much
q has been his wont during the last
two weeks. merely toying with both
boys and doing just about enough work
10 keep wei warmed UP. He still
looks big. more Ike a welter weight
than lightweight. but II he can make
the weight. this is an advantage rather
than q drawback.
Frayne viii do little more boxing
and roadwork today, and on Friday
afternoon he viii break up camp and
come TO his home in this city. Frayne
has been working for nearly three
weeks and he believes that he would
he "a king serious chance II he would
attempt to make q Battling Nelson fin
ish and go through the hard grind up
II the last minute.
Frayne win be handled by Tiv Krel-
ing. KID Parker Charley Reilly and his
brother Martin. Al White. the Oal1lan nd
sporting man. probably viii bet $1,000
or more on Johnny, who is now under
HIS wing White is waiting till the
last minute when he believes the odds
viii be about 10 10 in Hogan's favor
Several large bets on Frayne have al
ready been made in Oakland.
Hogan viii box a few rounds with
Eddie Dennis and George Green this
afternoon. Then he viii pack his be-
longings and say goodby 10 Billy Shan
mons and the cozy little training quar-
tiers where lie has been working for
the last TWO weeks.
Hogan is on edge, nervously anxious
to get at Frayne. He is down to 1341z
pounds. which means that he can drop
TO the required notch within a few
hours by the drying out process. Ho-
gan VIII do his roadwork this morn
inG and expects to be at weight by the
time he starts boxing.
According to George Green, the vet
eran middle weight Hogan is the most
likely lad Of his class produced in Call
fornia for many long day. lie firmly
believes that this tearing youngster
1viH register 2 knockout within Is
rounds. Green has taught Hogan many
a useful trick during the last week.
The old time fans viii remember that
tile veteran was one OF the past mas
ters at this game when he ranked with
the greatest Welter weights in the
world. and he is still as clever as of
old.
