The following was written by Ed Frayne, boxing expert of the Record of I .os Angeles. Also the fight by rounds of the Schlalfer-Hercot bout. yefe's Frayne's account of the fight. From start to finish. Schlaifer was the agglessor. Kercot boxed bis head off In the first three rounds, but tin pace told. Dode took as much ss he sent from the fourth round on and the Seattle lad was very fortunate to weather the seventh. Schlaifer dazed him with a right under the ear and a stunning left to the jaw. Either Schlatter's vaunted punch Is a myth or else Hereof has made good under the acid test. Dode certainly stood up welt under a terrific hammering in this session. | Fight by Rounds A DRAW would have been the —proper verdi^S on the Dod* Renot-Morrle Srhlaifer bout at Hollywood Friday night, acrording to the Record'* round by-round tabula tion. Such a decision would have given Schlaifer the rredit he was due for his gams showing, and It would have deprived Bercot of nothing. It is quite a feat for a youngster to beat such a seasoned old-timer as Schlai fer. The Record gave four rounds to Schlaifer, three to Bercot and three even.

Monday, voted to award 1500 to the club having the largest opening day attendance. This Is something new for the ol’ league. East season evi dently was a goood season financially for the team owners. Before the IH'.'i season ended great Imwls emerged from the vari ous league rluh owners. Said howls had lo deal with Ihe poor attend ante at the ball games. The club owners were yelling that everything went out ill salaries to players and nothing found way to the club cof fers. ‘ We don't know the financial con dltlon of each and every Western league club owner, but we have been told the league coffer is pretty well filled at the present. THE Buffaloes open the season at Oklahoma City, April IS. Ok lahoma City has a new ball park, the largest in the league. The Indian management can seat more fans stt^^^ fannettes in their park than ran the Omaha and Denver rluh owners. In spite of the fact that both Denver and this city are larger than Okla homa City. Jarlt Holland, owner of the Okla homa City rluh, probably had his eye on- the attendance award when he worked around to get the Buf faloes to open In Oklahoma City. The Buffaloes are, the 1914 league champions and would be a big asset to any team as a drawing card on the opening day. Holland was on the schedule committee. Tulsa opens the Western league season In Omaha against the Buffa loes, April 29. There Is no reason w hy Omaha should _allow towns like Oklahoma City. Tulsa and St. Joseph to outdraw Omaha on opening day attendance. They did last season. TIA JUANA. Tir»t raoa, 4 furlonga. 140#.
