CALLS FOR A CONVENTION
Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2.-Organiz-
alton of an association that will exer-
else the same influence and control over
glove contests that the leagues do over
baseball is planned by A: b. Motfltt, a
well known Oakland fight promoter,
who yesterday began drafting letters to
other promoters of California.
He hopes the result win bring about
a convention of promoters to be held in
San Francisco in the near future, where
ways and means will be discussed and
the association formed.
MOtfitt was for three years president
of the California Association of Cy-
clists, when bicycling was in its hey
day.
He says he has learned enough of
public sentiment concerning prize
fighting to convince him that the or
ganization of some association to take
control and eliminate features to which
objection is found is the only way in
which the sport can be permitted to
survive.
II have not thought out any definite
Tlans," he said, but will have some-
thing to present to the promoters when
we get together. l believe that we can
form an association which will prevent
mushroom organizations holding bouts,
promoters springing up over night and
making all kinds of matches, and can
prevent many of the things which have
given rise to the cry of fake. We can
have a body to evercise the same au-
thority to investigate charges as the
stewards have to investigate the acts
of Jockeys or owners at race tracks.
IT believe thta by organization we
can clear away all the troubles of the
fight game and put Ii on the same solid
basis as baseball, track athletics or any
of the other sports"

IN WATER POLO CONTEST

In the fastest, closest game Of water
polo ever staged in the Bimini baths
plunge the home six last night won
from the Westlake squad, l to 0. AT
all times the result was in doubt, as
first one clever forward and then the
other would make a rush into the
enemy's country, only to be repelled
by the ever ready backs.
Frank Holborow established a new
record for swimming the length of the
Bimini tank, thirty-one yards. The
coast champion negotiated the distance
in fifteen seconds. Willis O'Malley,
amateur champion, essayed the feat,
and was but three quarters of sec
ond slower than his professional com
petitor.
The lineup for the polo game was as
follows: Bimin-Marcus Lee, Hewlett,
forwards; Edwards, half; Harrell and
Sweet backs; Moore, goal Westlake
Frank Lee and Blades, forwards;
Sholes, half; O'Malley and McManus,
backs; Ranst, goal
