Jeff will make this hunting trip his

Berger probably will not see him again
until jeff returns to Los Angeles, but
will go ahead with plans for getting
the Santa Sruz training quarters ready
for the champion by moving in day.
April 1. Those who will assist jeff in
his preliminary work during the first
month Of the stay in the Santa Cruz
quarters have been notified by Berger
to report April l, with the exception OF
Gotch and Corbett, who will not join
the training colony until after May 10.
The exact location of this training
camp is not known, as Berger had not
closed contracts for ii until after no
had consulted with jeff regarding the
location and terms, but ii is known
that it is about five miles outside the
city limits of Santa Cruz and looks
out upon the blue waters of the Pacific
from place so close to the ocean
that boating and whatever surf bath
ing the big fellow may want to indulge
in may be enjoyed by him without in
convenience.
Flynn Stops Sparring Partners
Jim Flynn put the rough kibosh on
a pair of sparring partners yesterday
at his training camp and then gave
Dick Allen, the big heavyweight, the
warmest session of his career. Jim was
feeling fine and dandy and simply
could not hold himself in check when
turned loose with his sparring part
ners, and before he could figure that
he was getting rough he had two OF
them snoring peacefully on the floor.
Then he went after Allen and pounded
him numerically, although Dick could
stand ii and give some of 1t right
back. One of the fellows Flynn put
away was Jimmy Webber, and the
other, who refused to give his name,
weighed 205 pounds few minutes be-
fore going on with Jim. Flynn is In
the greatest condition of his career
and is feeling so fine that he really is
dangerous to have around. Not
doubt exists in his mind regarding his
success March II, and he says he Will
stop Langford, instead of allowing the
Boston terror to hand him the sleep
tablet.
Langford also was a very busy fight
er yesterday. He took long run on
the road and then went through an
other hour or more of stenuous en-
deavor in the open air gymnasium. He
boxed three rounds with George Byers,
his new trainer. who weighs 100 pounds,
and then took on Bob Armstrong, Ar
thur Collins, Young Kenny and Kid
Cleveland for two rounds each. Wood
man says that Sam is better right
now, as far as regards condition. than
when he fought Flynn the last time,
and added that Sam would have abso-
lutely no excuse to make after the
fight If he should lose.
1t looks like a record house out at
Vernon when this worthy pair climb
through the ropes March II. The ad-
vance reservations have been pouring
in so fast that McCarey became bit
alarmed yesterday for fear that he
would have a large number of seats
out of commission too quick and he
sent out notices to all those holding
reservations to call for their tickets
without delay. Owing to the fact that
only a few called for them the last
time Langford and Flynn fought, and
most of the tickets were taken Off the
reservation list because of the delay,
about 1900 persons were unable to get
inside the pavilion. Those who have
reserved their seats in advance. there
| fore, will do we'll to hurry in and take
them, otherwise they may find them
gone when they call along about fight
| day McCarey says it is cineh that
the house will be sold out entirely long
before the day of the fight, and he
naturally is much pleased.
McCarey and the moving picture
people will visit the Vernon arena Sat
urday morning to look over prospects
and conditions for making moving pic
lures of the fight. The main trouble
to overcome will be the dark interior
and the probable necessity for remov-
ing a norton Of the roof. In the event
| of rain it would be as expensive to
make these pictures as it would be IL
they were made at night, matter OF
about $4,000 difference in expense. Few
fans believe the fight will go the limit,
hut such a thing is possible, and as
the fight will not start before about
| 2. 20 o'clock it would be after sundown
when it was ended unless stopped by a.
knockout or interference before the
