sort of chap, with a punch like
the famous one of Fltzslmmons. to win
th rhamnionshlo In a ntrht. In a 10
round sparring match, clean breaks. It
would be different, but he'll surely win
the title If the fight is billed for Cali
fornia."
McLaughlen has seen all of the big
heavies in action in the East, while
his brother Fred, sporting the name
McKay," succumbed to Smith In a re
rent New York fight. "Vic" doesn't
think much of Willard. questioning his

holds the tribe of heavies, barring
Smith, as decidedly mediocre.

that the fans pay to see clean base

power to keep play in the league at
the highest possible stand.
"I am not going to tolerate any such
conduct on the ball field." said Baum.
"The fans pay to see clean baseball

cision," said Manager Hogan, of the
Venice club, at the Seward last night.
"Hosp was caught between first and

TIOX OF WEIGHT.
Wolgast Accused of Dodging Match
la Order to Meet Dundee in
Ivos Angeles.
SAM FRANCISCO. May 1. (Special.)
Inabllltv to come to terms on the
weight question has resulted In calling
eft the Burns-Wolgast 10-round match
that was to take place In Oakland on
Wednesday night. May 21.
The calling off of the match followed
the rrrival of Manager Tom Jones
from Harbin Borings. Jones told Pro
moter Rowan that he wouldn't think
of letting the Oakland lightweight
come In at 133 pounds at 8 o'clock. He
insisted at first upon 134 pounds ring
side and later said the weight must be
133 pounds ringside or perhaps an hour
earlier.
Burns would not listen to any such
arrangement. He said that under or
dinary conditions he could make 134
pounds ringside easily enough, but
that he was not of a mind to be
rushed to make the weight and that
he would refuse to do so.
The promoters agreed that the
chances did not look good for bring
ing the boys together and decided to
cancel the engagement and look for
some other card. The Oakland people
are inclined to blame Jones and to In
sinuate that Wolgast is looking for
an "out" In order to accept a pros
pective match with Johnny Dundee In
Los Angeles.

Hogan yesterday, "but not until I see
that he gets proper treatment, finan
cially, by the class B team."
"Rip" Hagerman will be the sole
property of the Portland Coast team
after today. Manager McCredie de
cided yesterday to pay the balance of

last Winter and had until May 1 to
fork over the balance of the $2500.
