The San Francisco call., 1910-12-14
-FOUR ROUND king
Will fight FAIR
Says There's No Occasion to
Fear Foul Tactics on
His Part
By WILLIAM ]. sLATTERY

The fear that One Round Hogan
might possibly tear loose, throw pre-
gautio0 to the winds and accidentally
loui Johnny Frayne prompted Referee
Eddie Hanlon to pay a visit to Hogan
at san Rafael yesterday and talk over
the rules with him. After he had chat
teo with the sensational lightweight
for half an hour Hanlon felt satisfied
ilat hogan understood the rules and
tAat there would be no trouble on that
score.
So much has been said and written
about Hogan holding his men and up
percutung them in the clinches that
many were fearful that he might break
me rules and toss away his chance
against Frayne. Hogan seemed sur
prised that the fans should fear for
MS rough tactics. He expects 10 beat
Frayne and beat him quickly but he
says that he is willing TO lose the first
time he INDUCES in foul tactics.
"Au / want is a chance TO keep
going" said Hogan to Hanlon. You
VIII not have TO watch me. I am not
going 10 hold on. All this talk about
my grabbing them with one hand and
hammering with the other comes from
a lot OF fellows who don't watch me
closely or don't understand the rules.
II foul. Eddie. give Frayne the de-
cision."
Z don't want to give it TO anybody
on foul" replied Hanlon. IF you
box according to the rules and keep
your head there will be no danger OF
anything Of the sort I won't lay my
hands on either Of you unless you are
locked in a clinch and refuse to break
when I tell you to-"
That's good enough for me" cut in
the one round terror. Let me fight
and I viii be satisfied and happy But
] want to warn you not to stop the
contest In case 1 am knocked down and
somebody tosses a towel into the ring.
Don't pay any attention TO it I want
to be slowed away clean II am 10 be
slowed away at all. None of my sec
onds has any authority TO come to, my
rescue with a towel"
Evidently Hogan is figuring on max
ing quick work of his one time friend
He is training for q hurricane mill and
the chances are that he viii carry it
right 10 Frayne just as soon as the
gong sends them to the middle Of the
ring next Saturday afternoon.
Hogan went six rounds yesterday
afternoon at Shannon's, three with Ed
die Dennis and three with Trainer
George Green. There is nothing lack
ing in Hogan's makeup. He is fast,
accurate with his punches, aggressive
and apparently in fine physical condi-
ton. After he finished up he jumped
on the scales anu lllGf cdA0 AAD eI' 49,
pounds a nice weight for the lad
Hogan and Green broke the record
for the run over the hill and around
by Kentfeld yesterday morning This
is 2 strenuous course of nine miles and
the record. / hour and IS minutes, was
held for several years by Jimmy BTU
Hogan and Green negotiated the course
Yesterday in ! hour and 5 minutes, and
the Young lightweight looked fresh
and strong when he finished. This
shows that his wind is about right.
Hogan has had lot of trouble with
his sparring partners, but IN Eddie
Dennis he seems 70 have landed the
very boy for his own peculiar style OF
work Dennis is a great little hghter
as well as clever boxer and the work
outs he has been giving Hogan show
their effect. II is likely that Hogan
viii be able TO complete his work with
Dennis alone.
Green viii lay his man of today
after the morning road work. He viii
Go his last heavy boxing tomorrow
afternoon.
Frayne went six rounds over at Al
Whites place yesterday afternoon. He
had q good two round setto with
Jimmy Allen. q speedy Canadian light
weight and then he took on Charley
Reilly for his regular four round bout
Frayne still looks like a welter
weight, but apparently he is within
striking distance Of the 13S pound
mark, for this IS not causing him the
least bit Of worry He has trained
harder for this one than any contest
he ever had around San Francisco, and
n he is not right when he goes against
Hogan il viii be q sure sign that he
never viii be right again
Frayne's defensive work is remark
able Apparently he has been paying
70 this account of
Hogan's tearing reputation. None Of
his -sparring partners stand the slight
EST chance Of hitting Johnny with their
rigr+ hand. Occasionally they land
with left TO the head, but he keeps
his body so well protected that his
sparring partners lose heart in trying
10 vBiD In an effective punch there.
Frayne has about completed his
training. He intends to taper of today
and tomorrow and and practically lay
uD all his strength Friday so as to be
strong for the fray Saturday. Frayne
has practically promised TO take on
Frankie Burns OF Oakland in January
II he wins from Hogan and finds pro-
rloter who is willing TO stage this con-
test Burns. who has been watching
Frayne daily, picks him TO defeat the
one round celebrity.
The sale Of seats for the battle will
open at noon today at Gunst's, 500
Market street: Tom Corbetts, 271
and the Mecca, 1908 Broadway, Oak
land.
All indications point to a large
crowd. provided the weather holds out.
Promoter Louis Blot has been ap-
proached by an insurance broker, who
wants TO insure him against rain, and
this proposition may be accepted.
