chosen to play with Champion
Larned on the tennis quartet which
will defend the honor of America
against the world in the information
al tennis cup tournament. They are
Maurice Mclaughlin, Tom Bundy
and Melville Long. The selection
of this trio is an acknowledgment
by the eastern experts that Califor-
MAS racquet wielders are superior
to all the players of the east save
Larned, the invincible.
By outfghting George Memsic
in eight out of nine rounds, Ad
Wolgast retained the lightweight
championship of the world in the
Vernon arena. AS a result of q Sc
ries of right and lefts to the head,
Memsic was staggering across the
ring in the. ninth, when Referee
Charles Eyton jumped between the
fighters and declared Wolgast the
winner. Memsic could not have
weathered the round, and the
champion was springing to land the
knockout when Eyton ended hostili-
ties.
Judging from the eastern reports,
One Round Hogan is going like a
whirlwind back around New York.
Like all the others who rise to fame
in the ring, Hogan is now playing
the vaudeville circuit. He has sign
ed contract at $50 week and
the New York papers say that he is
packing the houses daily and night
ly and making good everywhere.
This only goes to show what a funny
game it is and how they never re-
cognize prophet in his own land.
The S. F. fans had no use for Hogan
and they used to turn out in the
hope of seeing him licked. He was
just like Jimmy Britt in this respect,
but so long as he kept on winning
and getting the money here he cared
little what the fans thought of him.
THE boy will beat Wolgast as sure
as New York is on the map writes
Hogan's manager, Walter Franey.
"All arrangements have been COM
pleted for this match for the even
ing of April 1S at Joe Humphries'
club and tell all the boys for me to
bet everything down to their socks
and their undershirts on the one
round terror. If Wolgast wins, why
then we will walk all the way back
to San Francisco and go to work
again." 1t is very evident that
Hogan has taken well in Gotham
and that he will have large follow
ing when he goes in against the
champion next month. He was
only stranger when he started with
Brown, but the next day everybody
in New York knew all about him.
Captain A. C. Anson, diamond
star, bowler. billiardist, pool player,
trap shooter and actor, again de-
monstrated his versatility when at
the Wilson Avenue theater- Chicago,
he broke into the calcium as buck
and wing dancer. With the possible
exception of Mike Donlin, none OF
the ball players who have attempted
to earn livelihood behind the foot
lights ever have attempted what the
venerable captain did, and did to
the satisfaction of packed house.
Although Gap" made apologies foi
his new act before any one in the
house knew what he was going to
try, these were not necessary, fol
the veteran captivated the house,
With his 270 pounds and 50 years
hanging over his head, Anson
surprised even the most pessimistiS
person in the theater, and the steps
he used to demonstrate his lightnes:
of foot and the perfect time he kept
were marvellous.
