Nensic believes he will be light
weight champion some day and has
that confidence in his return to con-
tending form that makes him cautlous
in making future matches. ReallzlnS
that he outranks Ad Wolgast, VINO ls
to battle with Nelson next month Tor
the title. Memsic feels that it is in
cumbent upon him to use Httle
Judgment in making his matches and
NOT take anv unusual chances that
might be incurred in a match with a
welterweight or in letting light
weight in at from five to ten pounds
the better of the weight. He figures
that he can whip Powell and Nc
Carthy and since he has cleaned up
with all the other near-contenders he
has an idea that he soon will be IN a
position to make Battling Nelson sit
up and take notice of him and his
claims for attention.
Powell Comes Next Week
Powell comes from Frisco next week
to get into training for the bout with
Memsic, and the latter will take a
rest of a few days before again start
ing upon the strenuous routine that
he feels is necessary to put him into
the ring in condition to show cham
pionship form He gratitied his friends
Friday night by showing greater i'm
provement over his fight with Wolgast
than he showed previously, and since
he has given his stamina a fair test
he believes he will be able to go a
distance with sany of them. 1t always
has been this lack of stamina, since
he went back two years ago, that has
caused him TO lose several fights that
he should have won. Now that he is
fully restored to health and is fit and
ready to show his old-time form he
wants to complete his plans for climb
ing back up the ladder by whipping
all those who stand H. the way of a
match with Nelson. Then he wants q
crack at the champion and a chance
at the title, which he feels sure he
will win.
Powell is a shifty fighter, despite his
poor showing with Wolgast. and will
be hard to trim. Mccarthy, however,
looms up as more dangerous op-
ponent. In addition to this pair, there
is Johnny Frayne, the boy whom Jim
Cohroth touted as a championship pos
sibility a few months ago. Frayne is
at Venice and is slowly recovering
from an acute attack of rheumatism.
In an elimination contest Frayne must
be considered, and since he is more
than anxious to get back into the
game he may be matched with Mem
sic or some of the other good boys at
a later date. When these boys have
fought it out, an opponent will be
made for Nelson, and the winner
should furnish the champion with a
hot argument. Memsic assuredly fig
ures at this time as the one boy to
dispute with Freddie Welsh the first
right to match with Nelson
The next big fight on the bill at
Maud Junction will be the Sam Lang

~ NTRIES to the preliminary tourna-
H. ment of bowlers that Jim Nor
- ley will start tomorrow night at
his Spring street alleys, to select a
five-man team to go to the Western
Bowling congress tournament ut
Frisco in March, closed last night, with
nearly twenty players entered to con-
test for the honor of being one of the
team. Some of the best players avail
able in Southern California are en-
tered and the tournament, which be-
gins tomorrow, should result in some
dandy scores and averages. Fifteen
games, with total pins to count, will
constitute the preliminary test, and
the five highest men will make the
team. Morley believes the team will
have an excellent chance of winning
first prize, which amounts to $562.50, to
be equally divided between the Winners.
Inasmuch as Morley pays the railroad
fares and the entrance fee goes to-
ward paying the hotel bills, this sum
should be net to the winners.
Receipts of the Memsic-Picato fight
house Friday night were $2555, of which
sum Memsic received $76S and Picato
drew down S507. RaWhide Kelly, who
is managing Picato now, is figuring on
taking his hard-hitter to Memphis for
about a months campaign among the
easy marks that are picking off a lot
of dorine down that way. If there
are any lightWeights fighting down
there who can trim him, the Los An
geles fans would like to see them.
Virginia Brown. trainer of race
horses, arrived yesterday from Emery
willie for a few days visit with friends.
Virginia looks lifelike, but something is
lacking to make the picture complete
Ben Sly. Old Ben SLY will be well re-
membered by Los Angeles racing pa
irons.
Fight fans will not have the great
choice of training camps today that
was theirs last week. but sam Lang
ford will be in training at the Occi-
dental club on Stephenson avenue,
while Jim Flynn will entertain those
who journey out to the Southside Ath-
letic club at Doyle's place. Both Will
begin work at about 8 o'clock. The
Third street cars, eastbound, will take
the fans to Langford's headquarters,
while the East Seventh street cars so
direct to Doyle's club.
JEFF is thoroughly disgusted with
the manner in which the matter of To-
cation Of the big fight is being treated.
He does not care continental where
the scrap is staged, as he will get his
share of the purse regardless of the
attendance, and the notoriety and an
noyance of the discussion are causing
the big modest boy to whimper bit
and complain.

BOWLING

With the Frisco tournament in sight,
the boys in the City league are shoot
ing with all their might and main to
increase their averages and perfect
their aim, so that when they enter the
elimination play the will be in first
class condition By having to play
according to championship tournament
rules all are keeping an eye out for
the best advantage to be had under
such rulings. There are quite few
entries in this tournament, and last
evening Tommy Tompkins of Santa
Monica put his application in. Tommy
is one of the old Santa Monica team
which ran second to the 3. B. C. team
in the tournament held here when
bowling was in its prime. When in
form he is a hard man to beat. Sew
eral of the old-timers are entering and
some mighty good scores will have to
be rolled to beat them.

ford-Jfn1 FLYNN bout Of ten ROUNDS lHdC
is scheduled for February s. rms pout
is attracting considerable attentioIi
from all quarters because FLYNN IS pc
ing boosted as the man VINO VIII tIlhi
Stanley Ketchel if they ever meet, be-
ing the only white fighter who is given
much of a chance to turn the trick. on
the other hand, Langford has most
formidable and terrifying record 10
back him in his aspirations, and IS
recognized as the third man in line FOR
the heavyweight championship today
Notwithstanding the fact that Lang
ford stopped Flynn in less than round
when they met few months ago, the
fans are giving Flynn good chance TO
win because of his rough house ana
very awkward style of fighting, which
has been a puzzle for such clever men
as Billy Papke and Jack CTWin) Sulli-
van. With more care and less reck-
Iessness than he showed in his former
meeting with Langford the fireman
should have a good chance, and prob
ably will manage to stick out the entire
limit of rounds. Both are training
hard for the scrap, Flynn having
started work several days before Lang
ford arrived. and it should be great
battle, in which real cleverness, speed,
punching and generalship will be
speed, the punch and fair generalship.
Flynn will have an advantage in
weight, and hopes to make it count for
something.
Fight for Championship
Considerable pleasure is expressed by
fans at the announcement that Man
ager McCarey has taken over the JEFF
fries arena at Vernon and will put on
fGfa rr17f re ci y
the fans enjoy the shorter bouts at
Maud Junction they occasionally want
to see real fighters go to a practical
finish in order to settle all arguments
and let a referee pass judgment upon
their efforts. Consequently, when Nc
Carey announced that Danny Webster,
bantam champion of the world by right
of conquest, and Monte Attell who has
given Danny some good runs for his
honors, would fight February % over
a Aground route to settle the right to
the bantam championship, there was
popular applause.
Danny holds a decision and two draw
Verdicts over Attell, who had a valid
claim upon the championship previous
ly, and since they seem so evenly
matched the long-distance scrap looks
like the only way in which to settle
their rival claims and deeisively an
nOunce TO the world that a real cham
pion has been found in the revival of
the championship. Webster improves
the farther the fight goes, while AtteI
is a clever and speedy boxer who likes
to win in a limited-round bout. so it
looks good for the local boy. McCarey
has turned out lot of champions since
he got into the game. more than any
other promoter can boast, and he will
give to the pugilistic world another
champion on Washington's birthday,
when he revives the bantam champion
ship.

OVER 5000 PERSONS
LOSE HOMES BY FIRE
Two Towns in Saskatchewan
Are Now in Ruins
TWO LIVES ARE LOST
Hundreds of Persons Have Lost All
Their Possessions and Are Camp
ing on the River Bank
Waiting for Aid

Dalhouse. Sask., July IA waste of
smoking ruins is all that is left of the
town of Campbeltown and the nearby
village of Richardsville, which were over
whelmed yesterday by fire driven before
a gale.
Two lives were lost during the 10 hours
the fire ragged. DIR. Beverly Sproule, a
dentist, while aiding with his automobile
In rescuing women and children, was
burned to death by an explosion of gaso-
line. An infant was suffocated in the
dense smoke
Five thousand residents of Cambel-
town and 400 of Richardsville are home
less. One thousands buildings in Camp
beltown and 70 in the village We're de-
stroyed. The combined loss is estimated
at s2,5OO00O. The total insurance is given
as 1000, 600.
Tonight some semblance of order has
been established and relief work was
being done. Special trains brought tents,
food and other supplies to the victims and
all who could not be accommodated In
Dalhousie and In farming districts ada
cent. were quartered under canvas.
Hundreds of persons lost all they pos
sessed and 1t was disconlate band of
refugees who camped tonight on the
banks of the Restigouche river. Campbell
town was the largest cedar single CEN
ter in eastern America. All the mills
were destroyed, including the big plants
of the Shives Lumber company, Richards
Lumbe~ company and the Morfatt mills
The property of these three concerns,
in which American capital was interested,
was valued at 100000. A gale and the
failure of the water mains left the pop
ulation helpless against the flames
Many of the men who attempted to
stay the confiagration were obliged to
abandon the hose and fee for their lives
when the flames overwhelmed the hun
dreds of wooden buildings of which the
town was constructed in large part En-
bers from great quantities of burning
shingles carried long distances by the
gale set fire to houses by the score and
for ten hours the fire continued.
The flames finally burned themselves
out In Calnpbeltown and in Richards
Vile this morning but the forest is still
on fire at many points.
The fire was the greatest conhagration
in New Brunswick district since the de-
struction OF a large part of ST. John In
1877. The Canadian government Is a heavy
loser through the destruction of inter-
colonial property The government does
not insure It's property.
Tonight traffic on the railroad which
was interrupted Is hours was resumed.
