LOCAL k|CkERS
WILL Invade
THE SOUTH

Football Commissioner Milt Haley
of the Olympic club up to this morn
ing had not received any official in
formation from the Los Angeles Ath-
letic club asking for a change of
date for the big game TO be played in
the south. Up to Sunday the Los
Angelenos were undecided whether
they would be able to secure Wash
ington park for the game. but the
trouble has evidently been arranged,
and it will take place Sunday as
scheduled
According TO present arrangements.
the Olympic club men will leave for
Los Angeles on Friday night. George
Presley, advisory coach of the Stan
ford university team, has accepted
the position of referee and will leave
with the winged % team.
The Los Angeles Athletic club has
a strong combination and expects to
give the local men big argument.
Tiedemann. a former player with the
team, and from reports is playing a
good game. 1t is possible that Pat
Higgins, the coach of the University
of Southern California team. will play
one of the wing positions.
MITCHELL IN LINEUP
Now Mitchell, who was the south
ern representative on the All-America
team against the New Zealand ALI
Blacks, is sure of berth on the Los
Angeles team, though whether he will
play as five or center three-quarter
has not been determined. His broth
er, Stan, will also be in the back field,
probably keeping Now company on
the five line. Ted Geissler. former
Stanford star. will play one of the
three-quarter wing positions.
The forwards will be a fast, classy
lot and will have number of former
southern varsity men in the pack.
Livernash. one of the best hookers of
the south, WIFI be one of the front
row men.
Commissioner Haley and Captain
Pete Skov have about 80 men out for
practice every night, from which the
final team will be selected. There are
about two men for every position on
the team. and the Olympic club Off
ciais will not definitely name their
men until after practice tonight.

La Grave and Rogers
Anxious for a Crack
At CIabby in South

VIII it be Antoine La Grave or AL
Rogers who will go south to meet
Tom McCarey, the southern promoter,
to round out a card that he is ar
ranging. in which Ciabby will go up
against two men in one evening?
La Grave and Rogers are anxious
to take a whirl at the Indiana man,
as they figure that if they were lucky
enough to get a chance at Clabby
after he had boxed one opponent they
would stand a good chance against
him.
This will mark the third meeting
of La Grave and Rogers. Their other
bouts resulted in two of the best four
round scraps everst aged In this vi
einity. On both occasions La Grave
and Rogers boxed at a whrilwind
pace, and the referee was unable TO
separate them at the finish.
The Butchertown lad is working
harder for this fight than he did fer
the previous encounters. Heretofore
he just trained for speed, and when
the fourth round came along he
seemed to slow up a trif1e. Now La
Grave is working SO that he can set
a fast pace and maintain 1t through
out the four rounds, If the bout goes
the limit.
Young Joe Cans, a colored light

NEW b0ATH0USE
FOR BERKELEY

The University of California oars
men will have a new home early in
January. Plans have been accepted
for theb uilding of boathouse on the
Alameda estuary, to take the place OF
the old ferry boat Amador, which has
housed the oarsmen for several years
past. but which recently sunk.
The new boathouse will be con-
structed right on the Alameda side of
the stream, about half mile nearer
the mouth of the estuary than where
the Amador was anchored The house
viii have quarters for the proper
training of the oarsmen and will be
large enough to comfortably house
the large fiotilla of boats that the
university owns.
The house will make 1t easier to
launch the shells from than formerly
regulation platform and pontoon
will be built from the house right to
the water, and this will do away with
all the maneuvering that was neces-
sary to get the shells in the water
from the Amador.
Coach Stephenson has the men out
on the water every night, the oars
men at present being in temporary
quarters near where the old Amador
used to be located. AS soon as the
boathouse is turned over to the oars
men, Stephenson plans to have every
ma non the squad on the water and
will dicard the rowing machines Alto
gether for the balance Of the season.

this evening in the ring OF the Oak
land Wheelmen club with Joe Aze-
vedo, the Sacramento boy Despite
the fact that he is reported to have
gone back 100 per cent, Moran is a
10 to 6 choice over the young bush
performer, the fans figuring that his

self then. and put up a miserable ex-

fast on that occasion. and since then
the Oakland fans regard him as a
candidate for big matches in the fu-
ture.
Azevedo is a very clever little boxer
and can show plenty of speed when
he cuts loose. but up to the present
time he has not displayed any hitting
ability. The chances are that Moran
will set the pace this evening, and go
right after his youthful opponent
Then 1t will be a question as to how
long Moran can maintain his speed.
If the Britisher is in the form which
he claims, then the battle ought to
be well worth witnessing. Azevedo is
a very artful boxer, and generally
manages to slip away from his oppo-
nents and outpoint them with gentle
taps. He looks to be In splendid shape
and II he does beat Moran bigger
matches will be in store for him.

CHAMP ION LANDS
HIS $4,000
GUARANTEE

The lightweight championship bat
and Challenger Tommy Murphy is
going to be fought on the evening of
January % or the afternoon of jan
uary "a If nothing happens in the
terms with Promoter Jim Coffroth
yesterday afternoon after a couple of
hours OF wrang Cling and haggling, and
the terms are practically the same as
those which governed their last Ill
fated match.
The articles call for Ritchie TO re-
ceiye a cash guarantee OF $4,000. with
a privilege of accepting SO per cent
of the gross receipts All over and
above this sum will be split $3.50 be-
tween Coffroth and Murphy. Thus
Ritchie is having his laid right down
to him. while his opponent and the
promoter must gamble for theirs.
For time it looked gloomy indeed
for the match Ritchie refused to ac-
cept a cent less than $4,000. and Jim
Buckley. in behalf of Murphy, thought
that his boy was worth a straight
caused wrangle of more than an
hour.
RITCHIE DONATES 5000
"Will you pay Murphy 5000 for
training expenses which he lost get
ting ready the last timer" said
Buckley.

All right" cut in Buckley, I'VE will
fight YOU
1T is the same old story all the
time, resumed Buckley. Murphy al
ways gives them good fight and he
pulls the money into the box office.
He's as big a card as Ritchie, and he
will pull just as much money into the
house."
There was also a tilt over the
weight. According to the agreement.
the men are to make 135 pounds an
hour before the battle. The Chin
pion did not like the idea of holding
himself to weight for the following
day in the event that the bout must
be postponed from Friday evening un-
til the following afternoon
WEIGHT Is SETTLED
Finally Coffroth suggested that they
waive the night weighing in the event
that rain threatened. Instead, he
suggested that they allow IL to go
over till the following afternoon
Ritchie thought a long time over this
proposition, and at last he came to
the conclusion that ii would be all
right for him.
The usual forfeits of $4,000 for
weight and appearance will be posted
with Stakeholder John T. Clark. The
fighters have more than a month In
which to whip themselves into shape,
and, as both generally condition them
selves without much trouble, 1t does
not apepar very likely that they will
start work till about 10 days before
the bout.

As the Olympic rules require the
passing of the baton in relay racing
1t is about time that the method was
started in this country. With the
coming track season on this coast 1t
would be good move for the clubs
to start the ball rolling with the
baton system. 1t will be remembered
that America lost the relay race at
Sweden last year simply because the
men could not handle the baton. The
new method is one that requires con-
siderable practice, and 1t is quite pos
sible that the system will be used in
the national championship from now

AMERICAS GAME
In FRANCE
By William Philip Simms.

| paris Correspondent of the United
Press)
PARIS, April 24.-America's nation
al game of baseball has at last found
root in France, and several teams are
now out for practice in and around
Paris. One of the most prominent
| sporting clubs in France, the Racing
club, with important grounds in the
Bots de Boulogne, Colonies, and else
where, has taken a great liking for the
ball and bat, and the famous Bots is
resounding with the queerest cries it
ever heard.
"Slide, Monsieur, Slide" "a bas l.
| umpire! Keel inn" Fool ball." foul
is pronounced fool in French.) These
and all sorts of. other expressions
hitherto known, only to the Yankee
fan, have been added to the French
youths vocabulary, for he in his
study of the game, has disdained
French equivalents and is graphing
with the Americanisms which often
put both his shoulders to the mat.
During the summer the first attempt
to form an amateur league" will be
made and as soon as this is accom-
plished the public will be asked to
witness the important clashes.
T. e. Roosevelt and W. H. Burgess,
American men in business here, ori-
ginated the idea. They translated,
and condensed into as simple form as
possible, the rules of the game and
gave copies to students of the Condor
Get College, which is near Burgess
office Little by little enthusiasm was
worked up until the youngsters in
nearly every school in Paris had
caught the bug
Then other Americans volunteered
their services as coaches. Tod Sloan,
the famous jockey, organized team
at the Maison-Laffittee training sta
bes, the members of his team being |
a mixture of French, English and |
American stable-boys. Valentine Flood |
formerly Princeton University coach,
has staked off ball ground on the
Racing clubs grounds at Colonies
and is giving his services to teams
playing there. The aristocratic Pole
club in the Bots has permitted another
ball park to be laid out on the polo
field and it looks as if Paris is to have
a polo ground" as well as New York.
American artists are mixing in and
the Latin Quarter is wearing desert
ed look these spring days. Cafe pro-
prietors are beginning to be alarmed
lest the sport of sitting on their ter
races and drinking queer drinks be
forsaken for baseball parties.
