SAN FRANCISCO, March IL
If Louis Blot, Jim Griffin and Jim
Coffroth carry out their present
programs, San Francisco and vicin-
ity will be the scene of the greatest
fight carnival in history, greater by
far than the carnival held in New
Orleans in September, 1892, when
John l.. Sullivan lost the champion
ship to Jim Corbett and George
Dixon and Jack McAuliffe success
fully defended their respective
titles of featherweight and light
weight champions of the world
against Jack Skelly and Billy
Myers.
Blot, falling into line with Grit
fins dream of grabbing off big
hunk Of money from the thousands
of visitors who will be here to see
Jeffries and Johnson, figures on
using his June permit for a fight
between Ketchel and Papke on the
18th of that month. This would be
for the middleweight champion
ship, but it seems that there is a
disappointment in store for Blot.
Ketchel has announced that he is
not going to engage in any long
distance bouts for some months
and apparently he is going to adj
here to that determination.
On the 23rd he meets Klaus in a
siX-rOund bout, ealy in April he
meets some dub" in Memphis in
an eight-round affair and following
that he will hook UP with Sam
Langford for six rounds in
Memphis.
Griffin is still dickering for a
lightweight championship match,
but if he fails in that he will go
after some other card that will be
only notch below championship
battle.

GREEN AND BERG TO
STAGE AVA TON MEET

Charles x. Hamilton, the only
aviator in the country who is max
ing regular flights at this time, will
be seen at the Interstate fair
grounds April I, 2 and 3 in his IA
nous eight cylinder Curtis biplane
in exhibitions and races against
horses, motor cycles and automO-
biles.
Harry Green and Lou Berg have
signed up with Nat Reiss, Hamil-
tons manager and syndicate repre-
sentative, and the fair association,
putting up substantial guarantee
to secure the affair.
The meet is scheduled for the
first three days in April, but this
may be extended until the 9th, &C
cording to the contracts, in the
event that bad weather compels q
poStpOnement.
The daily royalty on the biplane
is $1,000, and when 1t comes to pay
ing the expenses of the Is or 20 men
who are carried around with the
aviator, it is understood why a
guarantee of several thousand dol
lars is demanded before Hamilton
and his assistants appear for
action.
The conflict in dates between
Hamilton and Walter Donnelly al
most resulted in Reiss' withdrawal
from the field yesterday, but Green
and Berg decided to handle the
affair.

S.A.A.C. SQUAD
IN.PORTLAND

The S. A. A. C. boxing and
wrestling squad left last night for
Portland, where the local quartet
hooks up with the Multnomah
grapplers and mitt artists in the
final inter-club smoker of the sea-
son.
Both Bullivant and Creel, wrest-
ling and boxing instructors, res
pectively, are confident that the
local lads will cop at least three
and probably four of the events
from the Portlanders. Brechin and
Gesek, the grapplers, are conceded
an even half of the card, with
Hughes fighting it out with Nc
Carl, and O'Rourke with Cassidy,
for the boxing bouts.
Cassidy is the latest find at
Multnomah, one of the pro fight
ers bringing him up from San
Francisco. He is said to be the

Today in The Sport World
PLAN GREATEST FIGHT
CARNIVAL IN HISTORY

Coffroth is going along apparent
ly oblivious of the storm that has
been stirred up, feeling that his
card will be the one to cop the coin.
Maybe so, but there are many fans
who hold the opinion that a fight
between Wolgast and Welsh would
far outshine, from a financial point
of view, a fight between Attell and
Driscoll. And as the promoters are
not in the game entirely for their
health, somebody is going to get
stung, and the first initial of his
name is J. 1t may be Coffroth or it
may be Griffin, but it's a cinch that
a bee is going to get one of them.

.LANGF0RD AN
EASY WINNER

JEFFRlES ARENA, VERNON,
Cal, March 1S.-ln one of the most
vicious contests ever witnessed in
Los Angeles Sam Langford
knocked out Jim Flynn in the
eighth round of what was to have
been a 45-round contest yesterday
afternoon. A right uppercut to the
jaw was the blow that finished
Flynn. Ills face was badly beaten
up and his jaw was broken. He
tried to rise, but was counted out
while on his knees. After the
fight Langford smiled at Flynn and
in reply to remark said:
Don't let me kill you"
1t was apparent that the Boston
demon would win from the very
first round and it was only ques-
ton of how many rounds the
fighting fireman would last.
In the fifth round Flynn showed
at his best his boring in tactics.
but even in this round he seemed
to be weak.

or our little mud ball had a close shave
and out OF the scare drops the axiom,
Better by far to lose your tail than to
lose your head" We said that the loss
of the comets tail foreshadowed a De-
mocratic victory, but the only really in
fallable sign of the approach of Demo.
cratic supremacy is when the people
lose their heads.

to solve the problem. J. Herbert Quick
the novelist who was mayor of Sioux
City in the days when things were open
in that town, tells the story of the work
of Miss Jessie Field, superintendent of
schools in Page county, Iowa.
While the rest of us have been floun-
dering after methods, Miss Field seems
to have solved the problem of rural
