Thanks for the reminder (and the photo!)
tovangar2.
this description says it was also know as the Pacific Athletic Club Pavilion. (the dates differ too)
"
Tom McCarey staged boxing shows at the Pacific Athletic Club Pavilion (also known as the Naud Junction Pavilion)
for only about five years (from late 1905 to 1910), it remains a very significant venue in Los Angeles boxing history.
It was where the first clearly identified World Championship bouts were staged in the Los Angeles area.
Moreover, there would also be a number of significant non-title bouts at the venue."

History: On February 4, 1908 at Naud Junction Pavilion in Los Angeles lightweights Battling Nelson and Rudy Unholz
fought in the main event. Unholz prevailed winning a ten round decision. Under the city ordinance, no decision
could be given, but there was no doubt of the result. The Boer had all the best of every round in the matter of blows
exchanged and he punched Nelson considerably and had him bleeding freely at the nose and mouth almost from the start.
He knocked the Battler down in the first round with a lightning left to the point of the jaw. (The Ogden Standard).

one more item
Woody Strode remembers Naud Junction Pavilion as a tent.
excerpt from
Gold Dust
https://books.google.com/books?id=Pz...ion%22&f=false
but Woody Strode was born July 25, 1914 and the Naude Junction Pavilion burnt down on Sept. 22, 1915.
(I don't think he would remember at 1 1/2 yrs old)
...so maybe there was a tent on the site after the pavilion burnt down? (just a wild guess)
