BURNS MATCHED
WITH LANGF ORD
Manager McCarey Slips One Over
on His Northern Rivals
in Getting Scrap

Manager A1cCarey executed coup
yesterday that will prove highly pleas
ing to local fight fans and equally as
displeasing to the Frisco fans and pro
moters. He secured signatures to ar
ticles of agreement for a tWenty-f1ve-
round scrap at Vernon the afternoon
of next Labor day between Tommy
Burns, former heavyweight champion
and Sam Langford This scrap has
been advertised several times lately
as having been secured for Frisco, but
the foxy local promoter quietly Went
after it and landed While his northern
rivals We're mapping in bissful ignor-
ance and suffering with overconh-
denCe.
McCarey must pay a pretty penny
for this scrap. but it is worth every
cent he is compelled to pungle up for
it, He viii hang up a $4,000 purse for
the scrappers, of which Burns will
receive $1,000, win, lose or draw, and
Langford will get $4,000 on the same
basis. Both fighters are given one
fourth interest in the moving pictures
and McCarey holds 90 per cent. Char
lie Eyton will referee.
Articles were signed in Frisco late
last night, Burns signature being af-
fixed by his American representative
and Woodman signing for Langford.
This cnches the match beyond all
question and places it beyond the be
lated efforts of the northern promoters
TO hold onto it. Burns left Australia
| several days ago and is due to arrive
at Frisco about June 28. After the
| Jeffries-J Johnson fight he will come
direct to Los Angeles and visit for
several weeks while again becoming
acclimated He will not start train
ing, of course, until in August.
This should rank second only to the
Jeffries-J Johnson fight because it
brings together the two greatest fight
ers in the world in the division next
below the real big class. 1t should
prove the severest test Langford ever
had imposed upon his fighting Prov
| ess and show to fight fans Of the
world the relative standing of these
classy scrappers. Burns has been de
feated only once since he abandoned
the middleWeight division, Jack John
son turning the trick in Australia
and his clevcrness, speed and punch
should make Langford extend himself
to the fullest.
It has been long time since Los
Angeles fans were treated to a scraI
that involves the class that is mixed
up in this battle. Although they have
witnessed many classy battles be
tween the little fellows in recent
months, heavyweight battles always
appeal more strongly to them, and
with topnOtchers of the Burns and
Iangford type engaged McCarey
should find that he has made a good
match and a profitable one. 1t viii
attract fans from all over the coun-
try and put Los Angeles back on the
fight map for sure.

Police Board Rushes the Matter
Through Before ProteStants
Realize What Is Done
TWO NEGATIVE VOTES CAST
Last Obstacle in Way of Holding
Fight in San Francisco
Is Removed
TWO NEGATIVE VOTES CAST
Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, May S1-With
only two dissenting votes and without
preliminary discussion the permit for
the 45-round battle July 4 between JEFF
fries and Johnson was granted late this
afternoon by the board of supervisors.
The board room was crowded with
representatives of various church and
civic organizations who game armed
with protests, but they did not get II
chance to discuss the proposed permit
as 1t was advanced on the board cal-
endar and passed before they realized
what had taken place. When they
learned that the permit had been
granted they protested Indignantly and
left the room in a body.
BY their action today the board or
supervisors removed the last otticlal
obstacle in the way of the promoters,
and Rickard and his associates may
now proceed with the erection of the
arena with little fear of interference,
as District Attorney Fickert has al
ready announced that he will not seek
to prevent the contest. When the board
assembled the room was crowded with
interested partisans of both sides. be
sides the representatives OF state ana
city church federations, number or
women were present representing clups
and reform organizations.
Rising quietly from his desk, John l..
Hergert, chairman of the police COM
mittee which recommended the grant,
ing of the permit, moved that "on ac-
count of the large number of bids
which were to be opened by the board
the matter of the permit be advanced
on the calendar and taken up imme-
diately."
In making the motion he said that
he was led to take this step for the
convenience Of the large number of
people who had gathered to discuss the
matter.
In the buzz OF comment which fol-
lowed his motion, this part of his utter
ance seemed to be lost on the protes-
tants. and the motion was put and car
ried before the dazed reformers realized
that they had lost their chance to be
heard in protest. They filed out of the
room voicing indignant comments on
the action of the board.
Supervisors Murdoch and Cutten,
holdovor members, cast the two mega
tive votes,

BATTLE TONIGHT FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP HONORS
Frank GotCh, American Wrestling
Star, and ZbyszSkO, the
Pole Meet on Mat

CHICAGO, May 31.-Frank Gotch OF
Iowa will defend the worlds wrestling
championship title against Stanislaus
Zbyszsko Of Poland in finish catch
as-catch-can match at the Coliseum to-
morrow night. 1t will be Gotch's first
appearance here since he handily de-
feated Yussiff Mahmout in their cham
ptonship bout more than a year ago.
According to the promoters, the men
will battle for a purse of $4,000.
Zbyszsko has won the right to battle
for the worlds title by his defeats Of
Mahmout and other prominent Wrest-
iers. He is the logical opponent of
GOtCh
Few Of the enthusiasts concede to
Zvbszsko a chance to win, and the Pole
has advised his countrymen not to bet
on him. 1t is generally believed, how
ever. that Gotch will have hard fight
to down his opponent in the required
two falls. The Pole is conceded to be
a master at the defensive game, and
he has not been thrown since his ar
rival in this country.
Gotch, on the other hand, is believed
to possess a far wider knowledge of
the game than his opponent On sheer
strength the Polish champion would be
an easy winner but Gotch's cleYerness
and speed are expected to offset TINS.

A ENCOURAGEMENT that Manager
II McCarey has landed the Burns
"A Langford scrap for Labor Gay
will arouse considerable enthusiasm
among local fight bugs, because it is
one of the best matches that is possible
of arrangement at this time. Burns
made his start here and while he
hardly can be classed as a popular
idol because he never catered very
much to popularity, being more en-
crossed in the pleasing and successful
task of accumulating a fortune in the
prize ring. Tommy and his wife will
come to Los Angeles after the JEFF
fries johnson fight and make their
temporary home here, but it is prob
able that they will return to Australia
before winter, as Tommy has consid-
erable money tied up in show and rae
ing enterprises in that country.

Hogan has got into in his efforts at
STRENGTHENING his pitching staff with
the addition of Carson, whom he
bought from the Chicago Cubs The
national commission, which controls
baseball in America, has approved the
release of Carson to Vernon, but Pres
ident Graham of the Coast league,
probably needing the grabbing of the
McCredies, from whom Carson was
drafted by Chicago, has notified Hogan
that he cannot use Carson. The UNI
nires also have been notified TO that
effect and Hildebrand yesterday in
formed Hogan that if he persisted in
nitching Carson, as announced, he
would not umpire the game, while Gra-
ham has notified Hogan that any
game in which Carson plays will be
thrown out. Just where Graham gets
his jurisdiction in the case is not clear
The national commission is supreme
and Graham and all other Coast league
officials must live up to and recognize
i+e rulings. If McCrede thinks he has
been iobbed in the drafting of carson
and his subsequent release to vernon,
he must take his grievance to the ma
tional commission. Graham has abso-
InfeIv no jurisdiction in the case and
his unauthorized and officious inter
meddling will get him sadly disliked

perch
