Fans Like Hogan To
Beat La Grave

Clever lightweights promise whirl-
wind go tonight at Dreamland rink.
One of the best lightweight battles
of the season is billed for this evening
at Dreamland IT will be furnished
by One Round Hogan, the premier of
the four round sluggers, and Antoine
la Grave, the Butchertown idol. This
event will come as the main attraction
of the Union clubs show, which will
be given under the direction of Billy
Kyne.
Hogan is by far the best lightweight
which the four round game has pro-
dueed during the last two years. He
has never yet met defeat, though he
has been up against the best of them
since he blossomed out as fighter.
His last appearance was against John
NY Mccarthy two months ago. This
setto resulted in a draw after four
hurricane rounds.
If Hogan gets away with La Grave
this evening he will say farewell to the
ranks of the four FOUNDERS and start
after bigger game. He thinks that one
more victory in his present class will
entitle him to a whirl at Lew Powell or
Cyclone Johnny Thompson or some
others of that class. Hogan has about
run his course in the semiprofessional
ranks. With La Grave out of the way
there will be nobody left for him to
go against.
La Grave has been at the game for
a long time and he has been winning
very consistently. He is pupil of Joe
Cans, the old, master, and he uses to
advantage many of the clever ring
tricks which the once great lightweight
champion taught him. La Grave will
have the entire Butchertown delega-
tion at the ringside to root for him
tonight.
Besides the main event, Kyne has a
well balanced card of four round bouts
which should provide plenty of excite
ment. Tug Condor and Happy Saw
age, the big teamsters, are on for a
return engagement George Andrews
the welter weight who has been clean
ing them all up of late. will go against
the hard hitting Joe McGurn. The rest
of the card is as follows:
Kid Wilson VS.. Jockey Alvarado
George Cooper VS.. Manuel Torres. Bill
Pyne VS.. Jack Douglas, Willie Thomas
VS.. Darby Norton

PROVISIONALR RUGBY
DATES ARRANGED
Olympic and Barbarian Clubs
and Two Big Universities at
Work on Schedule
BY WILLIAM UNMACK

The athletic managers of the various
universities, clubs and high schools are
busy working on their football sched-
ules for the coming season. California
and Stanford have both made prelimi-
nary arrangements with the Olympic
and Barbarian clubs for games and the
dates chosen will be confirmed as soon
as all clubs and schools have been
heard from. The schedule this season
promises to be the most strenuous one
that has ever been attempted by either
clubs or universities
IL is reported that the Western ath-
Iet1c club will be in the Rugby fold this
year and that will make another COM
petitor for the Wolff trophy among the
clubs. The Reliance club will have a
much stronger team in the field than
previously and this club has arranged
games with both big universities. The
Barbarians are scheduled to play Cali
fornia university on September 10, Sep
tember IL and October 1.
stanford has made arrangements for
TWO games on September "a and Octo-
Der against the Barbarians, and it is
likely that the cardinals will arrange a
third game with the Barbs before the
big game with California in November.
The Olympic club has also made sew
eral engagements with California and
stanford. The cardinals have dates on
september II, October il and another
date to be announced later with the
winged o team
Four provisional dates have been
made by the Olympic and California
teams for September "a, October 8, Oc-
tober 22 and November 5.
Besides these games with the varsity
teams both the Olympic and Barbarian
clubs will play games with the fresh
men teams of both universities. The
club teams have also made arrange
ments with Nevada university for
dates at Reno and the Barbarians are
to play the sagebrushers in this city.
The freshman game between Stanford
and California is to be played at Palo
Alto October Is and the varsity game
will be played at Berkeley November r.

Langford Anxious To
Box for Fans

Sam Langford has agreed to appear
at the Eagles boxing carnival tomor-
row afternoon at Louis .Blot's new
arena at Eighth and Howard streets.
The Boston black. who is to box Al
Kaufman on the 18th inst has con-
sented to spar three rounds with George
Byers, his sparring mate. 1t will give
the local fans quite line on the coll
ored boxers ability.
Jim Corbett and Joe Choynski will
have the opportunity of showing their
many admirers that they are still
pretty handy with the gloves.
Toby Irwin, who handles the affairs
of Harry Dell. states that his charge is
fit for the battle of his life and that he
will put an end to Willie Candles pugi-
listic aspirations long before their 10
round bout has been concluded
Jim Horner says that Jimmy Fittens
local debut will come to a quick end
and the latter will be content to remain
on the other side of the bay hereafter
They are to box six rounds and the bout
should be a good one. Willie Meehan
and Ding" Papke will open the show
promptly at o'clock.

VALLEJO, June 9.-Before at least

them enlisted men, who crowded the

and the roofs of-the Mare island work
shops, Frank ("Spider'') McCool of the

middle weight championship of the

In the seventh, during a clinch, Nc
Cool struck Robinson on the left jaw
with his head The colored man raised
his gloved hand to his face, sat down
in the middle of the ring and finally
rolled over on his back, pretending to
be suffering great agony. A physician
who was called gave it as his opinion
that the negro was uninjured, and when
Robinson refused to get up and con-
tinue the fight the referee awarded the
fight to McCool.
The fight was witnessed by Rear Ad-
miral Harber and all of the officers of
the many vessels now at Mare island.

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. June O.
The result of the western conference
meet held at Urbana, Ill.,, last Satur-
day came as an entire surprise to track
followers hereabouts. Notre Dame had
not even been considered seriously as a
contender Although Stanford scored
second place the general feeling here is
that the team should have won. DAD
Moulton expressed himself as only
partly pleased over the work of the
athletes. He believes that the great
handicap of the westerners was the ex-
IRENE difference in climatic conditions.
lie also stated that the Notre Dame
athletes did not meet the same uualifi-
cations that the other conference teams
did. He was particularly disappointed
IN the results of the sprints and the
pole vault. Moulton said:
There are only few athletes taking
the trip from here to the east that can
stand the change of weather more than
two or three days. 1t is much the best
to land them at their destination the
day before the meet, unless they can
arrive three or four weeks in advance.
which it is impossible for college atb-
letes to do. 1 find it beneficial to hold
the team at Denver or any high alti-
tude until a short time before the con-
ference meet is held With four or
five days in the east my men seem to
lose the snap or pipp,' as it is com
monty called, and they see all kinds
of wonderful trials by their opponents.
which does not help any athlete. no
matter how game he may be.
Il think Wyman burned up too much
speed in his first 220 of the 44O yard
run. to defeat as strong a man as
Davenport. There is where 1 think
Coach Stages fine Italian hand came
into play. He praised Wyman's work

sible with man of his speed and

'Wooley followed his instructions
and used a diet to build up on, gaining
nine pounds after leaving California.
This was essential for his weight work.
4 did not expect anything out of the
half, the mile or the two mile runs,
but the sprinters not even getting a
point is mighty hard to believe espe-
clally where 10:1 won the 100 yards and
z2;l the 22O yard distances. Both Cole
man and Reed made 10 fat on a much
slower track at the Provo meet. The
poor work of Bellah was terrible dis

gether with the low scores of the Cali
fornia team seem to bear me out in the
claim that the climate made a ater
