or easily explained.
Happy Hogan is back from weeks
visit at Murietta Springs, where ne
took a much needed vacation. Whlle
aNvav he showed some of the natives
how to shoot, and says that he enjoyed
tie brief restup. When asked fcBdIu-
ing the Vernon teams prospects ior
next season he said that it would not
require the eoffrts of dlstlngulshe59i
prophet to tell how far Vernon Would
beat out the Angels. This may cause
an argument, but Happiness generally
delivers the goods.
Bad Bill Aldridge left last night for
San Francisco with Jim Barry. Blll
will train the big boy for his fight
with lack Burns and as he is about
the best conditioner in the game, Barry
may expect to go into the ring in con-
dition fit to fight for his life.
Marty Kane was about town yester-
day with his right arm in sling, yet
hopeful that he soon will be in con-
dition to get a return match with Gene
McGovern. The game fight that the
little fellow put up against the human
bunch of steel goes down to his credlt
almost as fully as if he had won the
fight, although he only had one mana
for eight of the ten rounds. The rlght
wrist was broken and all he had leIt
to keep his head above water was a
quick jabbng left. He is game ana
classy little scrapper and Is fully as
sured of return engagements as soon
as he is fit to go into the ring

ing in great form now and ms cAgeer
on the turf is the source of much graz
ification to his many local friends. He
will go east in the spring to ride for
c. B. Ref and Carroll Reid, VINO holu
his contract services.
Young Otto, one of the best light
weight scrappers in the country, writes
from New York that he has quit the
lightweight division and wants to come
to los Angeles for a crack at any
welterweight who may be out of job.
He is showing good judgment in leaV-
ing the lighter division, as 1t always
was difficult for him to make the
weight. and there are few welters who
can make him extend himself. He
says he is doing nicely, but that ne
has a longing to see the OLD coast
again ana asks lOI tllBcAS tiiANiANN' -

Montana Kid before the latter could
bat two eyes.
r. F. Carman, always in trouble
has decided to leave Jacksonville for
Tampa. where he viii race his horses
i'm the future. He had failing out
with Curly Brown, manager of the
jacksonville meeting, and the natural
consequence is the removal. Carman
never gets along with anybody. lie
always has a quarrel on with some

to note that he run up against the

lem Driscoll defended his title as
| featherweight champion of England
last night by whipping fighter un-
heard of before. Digger Stanley, BAN
tam champion, fought draw with
negro from the United States. These
bouts are poor advertisements for the
champions of England. Freddie Welsh
is about the only champion they have
who is worth two cents.
