RLALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

A RTHUR SEYMOUR won the Sec
~ ond and final game of his three
IA cushion billiard match with Wal
ter Johnston last night. scoring so
points while Johnston was gathering
II. This makes the total score stand
100 to 62, and Seymour cops the 500
purse offered by Jeffries & Kipper. An
other big crowd was in attendance at
the game. Seymour was in fine form
and would have made DeOro more ner-
vous than ordinarily had he been play
ing the local man last night. Arthur
was SO accurate that he made several
excellent runs of four five, six and
seven. Johnston said after the game
that he would like to see Seymour
play in that same form against Fred
Eames or DeOro in a match game, so
that he could win bet on the local
man.
The management of the San Pedro
Athletic club completed its card for
March Is yesterday. 1t will be as fol-
lows: Main event, Joe Casey VS.. Jim
Cameron, twenty-five rounds; Joe Liv-
ermore VS.. Chester Moss four rounds,
and Young Pico VS.. Kid Tohler four
rounds. This is a good card and as
san Pedro always draws we'll from the
undoubtedly will go to the seashore to
see this card fought.
Interest in the game of billiards at
both balk line and three cushion is
booming greater than ever before in
history of the gentlemans sport in the
southwest The recent visit of De ORC
ma
and now that Morley has executed
another coup in getting Willie Hoppe
the greatest balk line player in the
world, and Ora Morningstar, his great
est rival, for two exhibition games to
be played March 25 and 26 at his
Spring street parlors, everybody who
can handle a cue is sitting up and
taking notice and many new faces are
seen at the billiard tables about town.
When these stars play here, it is
doubtful if there is a hall in the city
of sufficient seating capacity to ac-
commodate the crowds.
Applications for seats at the Lang
ford Flynn 45-round fight March II at
Vernon are pouring into McCarey's Of
flee at a rate that assures the biggest
house that ever greeted a pair Of
lighters in this city. Not even the
Burns-O' Brien scraps could attract the
advance sale that this fight has al
ready started and if the sale holds up
for another day or two, McCarey win
run out of pasteboards before Satur-
day night. Those who are holding
back until closer to the fight date to
buy their tickets are due for a dis
appointment when they finally apply.
The gallery seats will be placed on
sale at 1 o'clock the day Of the fight.
Frankie Sullivan. who is matched
with Kid Cleveland for the ten-round
semi windup to the FlynnLangford
scrap, is training harder than ever be-
fore in his life because he has a half
promise from McCarey that if he wins
decisively from Cleveland, he will get
a main event at an early day and that
is his sole ambition just now. After
his four-round victory over Curley
O'Connell, it seemed that he had earned
the right to serious consideration.

COUNTY HIGHS
TO HOLD MEET
BOVARD FIELD Is SELECTED
FOR CONTESTS
EXPECTED THEY WILL CHOOSE
AN EARLY DATE
All Schools Invited to Compete-Ex-
penses of Visiting Teams
viii Be Paid from
Receipts

Athletic officials at the Los Angeles
high school are planning to hold q
track and field meet in the early part
of April which will be open to all
high schools in Los Angeles county.
Under present conditions, the city high
schools, not being included in the
present county league, which Is COM
posed of six or seven schools, find date
meets few and far between, and DIR.
Beach, who is planning this general
meet, hopes to bring the local and the
high schools In the league closer to-
gether and make the general meet an
annual one.
The meet probably will be held at
Bovard field, If it can be secured on
a suitable date. In the program will
be several new features, such as "a
100-yard dash and a half-mile relay,
open to first year members only. This
arrangement will allow more students
to take part who are not regarded
as stars and who are just commencing
their school athletic career.
Travelling and other expenses in
Cured while in the city by out-of-town
squads will be paid from the gate re-
ceipts, and as the meet will draw
from all sections of the county, II Is
expected that the gate money will
more than care for the visiting teams.
Medals or ribbons. which will be de-
clded at a later date, will be given
to those finishing in first, second and
third places.
In addition to the Los Angeles high
school. Polytechnic high school and
Olive street high, the other local high
schools will be interested in the meet.
which assures large entry list from
the city. which, added to the entries
from the league, will make the event
the largest of its kind ever held in
Southern California.

camera men really wants that partic-
ular feature. Always, however, it is
plainly more or less of Il task, and
"hurry up, boys" is an injunction ia
miliar to all who have sought pictures
of Jeffries for the press. In this re-
gard Jeffries probably stands apart
from almost every might of the
squared circle the world has ever
known, as from time immemorial pug
lists have sought rather than avoided
the publicity afforded by the news
paper camera. 1t is more often the
fate of the newspaper photographer
to be compelled to dodge, rather than
to hunt the aspirant for honors pugil-
istic, and it is at least refreshing to
find one man who has made his name
famous in the ring who does not seek
to butt in every time camera is
pointed in his general direction.

TE EW of the photographs which have
been made of James j. Jeffries,
n undefeated heavyweight cham
pion of the world, and from which the
public has naturally formed its con-
ception of the man, have furnished a
correct likeness from which to judge
the big fellow, for JEFF" is not a good
subject for the camera, being essenu-
ally not a poser" He cares nothing
for the limelight of publicity and when
facing the camera always does so with
at least a mental protest. Not that the
big fellow is surly or ungracious about
acting as a target for the Photographic
lens, for Jeffries is personally one of
the most likable fellows it could be
any ones good fortune to meet. 1t is

far better success with his fight club
in New Orleans than he ever dared
hope. Frank Picato and Dave Desh-
Ter, who furnished the opening card,

Tommy is on Easy street, with the
shade all around him. He says that
he has organized party of fifty Cres-

to see the Jeffries- johnson fight and
adds that If the big boy does not win,
the entire party will have to borrow
money to get home on. jeff is as
popular in New Orleans as he is any
where else, except at home, and that
city will furnish a fine delegation of
Jeffries rooters at ringside.

when the pennant race is fairly on.
The game this afternoon will be
played at the Chutes and will be
called promptly at 2:30 o'clock.
Tom Shaw, the biggest booking
operator on the American turf, got a
big crouch on at Jacksonville the day
that Starter Brown left Abe Attel
half way to the post and refused to
book after that race, which was first
on the card. Because the horse was
left out of the race by the starter,
the judges called off all bets, and as
Shaw had taken big fall out Of Abe,
he naturally was very 'sore" and
when he was ordered to pay back all
the money he had taken in on the I'M
lucky horse. he shut up shop for the
remainder of the day.
