REALTO GOSSIP

tackle the L. a. A. c. giant.
Hen Berry. Hap Hogan and Col. j,
w. Brooks win leave this afternoon 1ot
San Francisco to attend the coast
league meeting tomorrow. Eddie Malef,
president of the Vernon club and It's
representative on the league board,
finds it inconvenient to attend, and
Hogan probably will have his proxy.
Several important subjects will be con-
sidered by the board, and among them
is one that interests every club IN the
league-the removal of Danny Long
from the office of league secretary: IL
is not right that man should holu
conflicting jobs, even If he is hlgh
class sportsman and thoroughly reliable
and impartial. Berry Is right in his
contention. and the other magnates
should support him unanimously.
John Considine has arrived from
Seattle on a trip of inspection OF the
coast houses operated and controlled
by the Sullivan-Considine syndlcate.
He has not lost interest in fight atalrs,
however, and still is regarded as one
of the leading sportsmen of the coun-
try.
Jack Kipper received a large picture
Yesterday Of the crowd that attended
the signing of articles for the Jettries-
Johnson fight. He has hung it in ms
private office, and as all those present
can be readily distinguished it attracted
much attention during the day. In ad-
dition to Jeff and Berger, Cy Myriek
and Abe Attell were in the room, and
they show up distinctly. Jeff has his
back turned to Johnson, whose white
worries glisten even in the picture.
Tommy Ryan. once middleweight
champion, is promoting fight club IN
Memphis, before which Battling Nelson
fought Friday night. Ryan referees all
| fights before the club.
Danny Shay, manager Of the Kansas
| City Blues, arrived yesterday from san
Francisco and will leave tonight for
Kansas City. Danny hopes to win the
pennant with his American association
club, and all the Missourians in Califor-
MIA are pulling for him.
G. L. Moselle. one of the best bowlers
on the coast and a prominent insurance
man. returned yesterday from San
Francisco where he had been on a
business mission for several days.
Moselle may find time to attend the
Western Bowling congress tournament
at Frisco in March. in which event he
will be material strength to the Los
Angeles team
DR.. Marcus f. Shaughnessy-listen
to that noise-s in the city. Not one in

will recognize him in that dress. But
it is Mark, all right He has settled
down to the practice of his profession,
but has not determined upon location
as yet. He still acknowledges to a
hankering after the fight game, and his
many years of experience as trainer,
manager and second of fighters and
promoter of boxing clubs make it i'm
possible for him to resist the call when
| the big red and blue bills get on the
deadwalls. He will remain for several

TTN HERE is a possibility that Jack
Johnson's hifalutin ideas of what
Il to order when an admirer asks
him to take drink may cost him more
dearly than he had intended. Since he
whipped Burns and cast a cloud on
the heavyweight title he has gone from
beer to champagne, and all his old
time cronies are not able to pay for
the sparkling water. He is accused Of
a felonious assault, and as it was un-
provoked, according to all testimony
adduced so far, Jack faces the pOssi-
bility of five years in Jail, the maxi
mum penalty. The minimum penalty
will be sufficient to put him behind the
bars long enough to keep him from
fighting Jeffries in July, and it looks
like the big dinge had stepped into a
lot of trouble that common sense and
a smaller hat would have prevented
His case has been continued until
Monday. Technicalities and delays in
trial may enable him to avoid the issue
until after July 4, but that he is in a
serious predicament, and one he should
be heartily ashamed of, is beyond
question.
Between the quarreling promoters of
the big fight and the predicament of
Johnson at this time, there is grave
room for doubt as to whether they
ever will fight. Meantime both will do
we'll to keep on coming money on the
stage. Jeff leaves Salt Lake City
today for Seattle and will be in Frisco
next week, where he will be met by
Jack Ripper and other Los Angeles
friends.
Charlie Johnson has returned from
Rawhide for short visit with rela-
tives He reports business good with
himself and his partner, the irrepres-
sible Davy Jones' who was Baron
Longs first lieutenant while in Los
Angeles.
Sam Langford and his party left
Boston for Los Angeles late last Fri
day night and should arrive about
noon next Thursday. Manager Joe
Woodman, Eddie Keeyin and Jimmy
Walsh are believed to be in the party,
although the dispatches make no men
tion of them. Keevin and Walsh
planned to come west with the Lang
ford party.
Little Lord Fauntleroy has invested
quite a small fortune in an airship,
and has shipped it to Frisco with a
Photographic outfit for the purpose of
picking up all the loose change in the
big town. Lord will take it to New
Orleans after he cleans up in Frisco,
as the aviation bug is working over
time now, and it may be the fad soon
to- have your picture taken in an aero
plane. Lord has not been doing ex-
traordinarily well of late. and his
friends wish him all kinds of good luck
in his new venture.

Nov. If Corbett could get into condi-
tion there is no reason in the world
why Jeffries. who never dissipated
much. can't regain physical perfection.
He now is at the age Of man in the
prime of life and ] look for him to en-
ter the ring with Johnson better than
he ever was
johnson Great Fighter
But he will have to be better than
ever to beat johnson. The big negro is
the greatest fighter Jeffries ever faced.
l have seen johnson fight, and take it
from me that he's there with every
thing. He has the best left hand of any
big fellow the ring ever produced.
Don't let them gull you with stuff
about the negro having climbed to the
front at the expense of little men. The
little men he beat are pretty shifty
fighters. I think Stanley KetcheI could
have whipped Tom Sharkey in his best
days, and you know that Sharkey went
twenty-five rounds with Jeffries and
gave the big fellow about all he could
attend to.
johnson is a better man than Peter
Jackson ever was, and the big Austria
liam black had them all buffaloed in his
day. You also hear a lot of talk about
Jeff having gained the championship at
the expense of the greatest crop Of
heavyweights the ring ever saw. Fitz.
Corbett and Sharkey are pronounced
superior men to Burns, Ketchel, Lang
and the Fitz that Johnson defeated.
This kind of talk doesn't appeal to me.
| can't see any logic in it. L think the
big fellows of today are cleVerer, faster
and can hit just as hard as the big 'uns
that Jeff fiattened out"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-23

Nelson must make a definite reply
of yes or no or take his chances with
Hester, as McCarey will not monkey
any longer with him. In the event
that the Battler does not make either
reply, the offer will be withdrawn any
way and the match between Webster
and Attell, which has been made for
some time, will be definitely set for
Washington's birthday. Both boys
are anxious to travel an extended route
in order to settle their dispute as to
the ownership of the bantam cham
pionship. Both have agreed to NC
Carey's terms and the date only re-
mains to be settled. In addition to
the purse they will fight for the belt
that McCarey had made for the un-
disputed champion.
Hester Not Out of Woods
Hester is not out of the woods yet,
and it looks now as if he would be q
long time getting out The fine hand
of Jimmy Coffroth can be traced in
his troubles, and if this proves to be
a fight between Hester and Coffroth,
it is not difficult to pick the winner.
Coffroth and his several clubs in
Frisco got all the permits they asked
for, and it seems that Sunshine James
IS pretty strong politically and other
wise in San Mateo county, where he
has his Colma fight house. He may be
lust as strong in Alameda county, the
last ditch for Hester.
Continued delay in getting the per-
NIT is not doing Hester any good, and
il will be necessary in a short time for
him to ask the fighters to agree upon
a postponement until he can find
place to stage the fight. unless his
luck changes mighty quickly 1t would
not be surprising to hear that ne
would come to Los Angeles and try to
stage the fight right under McCarey' S
nose if all other places are closed to
him. 1t will be real nice for Nelson
to turn down the McCarey offer and
then find that Hester will have to
forego the pleasure of staging the bat
tie. 1t would be retributiye justice
with a vengeance.
Mccarey Is Hustling
NcCarey has got hustle on himself
now and is going after some good at
fractions for the fans Already he has
dated up two crackerjack cards in the
Langford- Flynn and Memsic-Picato
scraps. and with the WebsterAttell
long distance event practically assured
for February he will make the fight
world sit up and again take notice
of Los Angeles as the fight center of
the world. Following these there will
be a bout between the winner Of the
Webster Attell scrap and Jimmy
Walsh in all probability.

AT EW YORK, Jan. 22.-William A.
N Brady, who rose from the office
~ of the hustler on a train to that
of one of the leading theatrical man
ayers of the day. using as his stepping
stone to fame and fortune the man
agerial berth of manager of two world
heavyweight champions, has spoken
and given an opinion on the outcome
of the meeting next Fourth of july
between Jim Jeffries and Jack john
son. Physical culture experts, hght
managers and everybody almost whose
names appeared in a sporting page at
one time or another have had their lit
tie say, but none was so lucid in his
deductions as is Brady. He is one who
knows a fighter from his shoe laces to
the last hair on his head. He saw jim
Jeffries when the latter was only d
sparring partner to Jim Corbett, ana
was the first to pick the big fellow out
as the coming champion. But, any
way, here is what Billy says of the two
men;
"The talk about Jeff not being able
to come back and get into shape TO
fight Jack Johnson is ridiculous. Jett
has a better chance to come back than
Corbett did, and the latter surely came
back when he Travelled twenty-three

last Friday night and should arrive the
middle of next week 1t was planned
to have Eddie Keevin and Jimmy

do so, as fights are hard to get down
east, and there are plenty of engage
ments here for Walsh. 1t is desired
that he and Webster and Attell settle
the bantam argument in decisive
manner, so that the championship VIII
be revived and a real champion will
exist once more.
Lightweights Work Today
All the training camps in and around
Los Angeles will be running in full
blast this afternoon and the fans will
find plenty to amuse them. George
Memsic will put on an extra boxing
card as the windup to his days work
at the Eastside club on Old Mission
road. He will begin at o'clock and
work at least an hour Picato also will
put on a more extended program fol
the afternoon in order to show his
friends Just how good he is. He Is
working at Doyle's Southside club and
also starts work at 3 O'Clock. Jim
Flynn is working at Doyle's also.
The excellent form shown by MemStc
in his fight with Wolgast recently has
served to install him as favorite al
10 to over Picato, and since the Bo-
hemian seems to be back in his best
, form at this time, the fans are much
interested in his training stunts. Both
boys are predicting knockout victory
and inasmuch as they will be meeting
practically at catchweights, 1876 pounds
at o'clock, the result should be al
least decisive.
Jeffries Nearing Home

around the final lap of his theatrica
tour, and is making the different cite:

ing at what date he would make Frisco
so that he and other friends could meet
the big fellow. Mrs Jeffries, who has
| been very sick in Chicago, will join the
big boy today at ogden. They will gel
to Los Angeles within ten days.
Lew Powell got into communication
with McCarey yesterday and asked tc
be matched with the winner of the
Memsic- -Picato scrap for about Febru-
ary 10. This is agreeable to McCarey
and he will notify the clever Frisco
| lightweight to come back south and gel
in training. This gives McCarey foul
high-class fights for the next month
! and about fills the bill for that period.
