Will Jim Jeffries Fight?
Still the Burning Question
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 28.—When
James J. Jeffries reached Los Angeles yes
terday, It Is alleged that he gave out n
atatement to the effect that he hud no
Intention of returning to the prise ring.
Billy DelaVey made the following state
ment when shown Jeffries' statement from
Los Angeles:
“Jeffries will fight, there Is no ques
tion nlMiut It. I don't rare what he says
In Los Angeles, he is going to tight again.
Why, he wauts to fight, and If let alone
will take no urging on the part of the
friends from Sew York to California to
get hint Iwick lu the game.
“I can not understand how he ever ratne
to make such a statement, and I believe
that something was Influencing him."
Asked what this Influence was, Delaney
admitted that he thought Jeffries' wife
had been pleading with Jim to leave the
ring. |
“But let me tell you that Jeffries wants
to light again. He admitted In San Fran
cisco before a half dosen of his best
friends that he was willing to go back Into
the ring. He was willing to try his
strength, and there Is no question about
the fact that he Is the,greatest fighter
In the country today.
“There Is not a man between here and
! New York that hos the ghost of n chnneo
old-time fighting trim, and willing to meet
the tast man now iu the game iu this or
any other country.'*
“What! What do you think of him?"—
Billy Delaney.
“What do you think of him?"—Eddie
Ornney.
• What do yon think of him?"—Jim Cof-
froth.
“It must be that climate."—Colonel Mar
tin Brady.
“Bet he never said It!**—Morris Levy.
“What's the use?"—Hurry Corbett.
I These are Just a handful of remarks grab
bed at random from the expressions that
tripped from the lips of sports today when
It was noised around that Jeffries dis
claimed nil Intention of getting back Into
the flghttug game.
If Jeff had said on his arrival In Los
Angeles that he had simply put up a little
Joke on Delaney, Graney and a few others,
as punishment for stringing him about fight
ing nguln, he might have gotten away with
It, but to enter ft denial of any declaration
of doing so was too much. The select few
who were privileged to h?ar Jeffries de
clare that he Intended to take up pugil
Isui again are fully persuaded that he
meant what he said., They are puxsled
his refutation of the published
ports.
gj'har my. In fact, that his utterances In
l to whip the ex-champion. ff the fn-f w
[ fluence can be brought to bear with suf- ity," and~thnt It is his denial
j flclent weight, Jeffries will soon be In his weak.
Hard to Find an Opponent
For Big James Jeffries
By TAD.
New York, Sept. 28.—Now that Jim Jef-
.frlea has signified his willingness to meet
• the best there Is for the championship of
l the henry weight# we nre wondering who
• this best man Is.
There are throe, however, who nre In the
legitimate clasa and until the best of them
Is found there should be two battles.
The best men In the ring today In the
heavyweight division are Jack O'Brien, Jnek
Johnson and Tommy Burns.
Jack O'Brien beat Bob Fltsslmmons, giv
ing him a standing In the big division.
Tommy Burna beat Mnrvln Hart, who had
claimed the title, and therefore Is entitled
to notice.
Jack Johnson has beaten all the black
men who have tackled him.
The man who beats the other two Is tht
man who we would want to see meet th#
big fellow.
A1 Kaufman and Berger are young, ambi
tious nnd big. They nre the youngest of
the heavyweights. A battle between these
men.should put either one In the ranks of
the contestants, but Berger does not want
anything to do with Kaufman, strange to
say, nnd would rnther try nnd bluff hts
way Into n big loser's end with one of the
good men.
It Is h» be hoped the managers will make
these men show before mntchlng them with
Jeffries. ,
Right now there are sports who would
bet that Jeff can lick any two men In one
night, and If we had a general trylng-out
the situation would be cleared a whole lot.
Jack Johnson is the first man to make a
challenge. He will meet any heavyweight
In the world, any rules nnd winner take all.
Would any of the others risk their title
names with such on offer? Not yet—and
never.

Cumberland Will Not Have
Football Team This Year
Cumberland University will sot have a
football team this year. Athletes at the
university will have to content themselves
with baskctbnll nnd tenuis and watching
Castle Heights, a local preparatory school,
play the g.eot fall game. The Cumberland
Weekly, the collqgo paper, says In Its Inst
Issue: \
••For good and sufficient reasons. It has
been thought tast by the faculty, as Is
well kdbwn. not to have any football team
at Cumberland University this fall, but the
prospects areftnost excellent for basketball
and baseball. The tennis court, too. In now
very p4>pular, showing that Cumberland
University students still believe lu henlthful
exercise. Castle Heights will, however,
have a series of games on Cumberland field,
Which, we trust, will receive the most lib-
} era! patronage and support possible from
the students nnd Cumberland University."
Just what the “good nnd sufficient rea
sons'* are can only be surmised nt this dis
tance, but there are several happenings of
the past well kuown here that have probn-
bly contributed toward putting ail cud to
the gsroe at the Lebnnon college. The
financial sltuntlon Is doubtless the controll
ing factor. It takes money to get a foot
ball team started, and It takes still more
money to keep It going, lu a small place
like Lebanon gate receipts nre naturally
light. The Cumberland teams In the past
for that reason have played nearly all their
games away from home, meeting the col
leges In the larger cities where good crowds
could ba drawn. Their share, of the re
ceipts, after paying traveling expenses, has
on but few occasions left a balance on the
right able of the ledger.
During the past few years, or since Cum
berland has forged to the front In the
football world, the athletic deportment of
the school has had n financial backing It
had never before enjoyed. It Is understood
that this support cannot be given this year,
and the students cannot raise enough money
among themselves nnd by popular aubscrlp
lion to put a team In the field.
Flunclnl affairs were not qlone respnnsl
ble for the decision not to put ont an
eleven. There were oilier considerations
that might have kept down football even
bad ample money been nvnliable. The uew
football rules alone might hnve done so, as
the changes made have caused a good many
ctdleges to withdraw until conditions be
come more settled, nobody knowing Just
what Is going to be the final result of the
big changes made. It Is well known, also,
that Cumberland has not bnd smooth sail
ing on the score of professionalism. There
havo been charges more or less openly made
of professionalism every year against tho‘
LcIminon boys. This has caused considera
ble frlctlou nnd it may l»e that Cumberland
would rather get out than hnve this con
tinued. Bomo of the hnrd feeling engender
ed has been carried Info the Houthern Inter
collegiate Association, and It may have been
thought best to let that quiet down.
At nuy rate, whatever the reason. Cum
herlnml Is out of football for at least this
year.

TRAWICK TOURNAMENT POST-
PONED FROM DAY TO DAY
FOR VARIOUS REASON8.
Between mobs, alarms, rumors and bum
weather, the Trawlck golf tournament Is
having Its troubles and Is advancing very
slowly to Its termination.
The only match played Tuesday was ta-
tween J. G. Darling and J. H. Cothran. This
match was won by Mr. Darling, and he Is
now in the finals for the second cup.
Ail other watches were postponed Tues
day, and It Is not likely that many will
be played off Wednesday.
Kid Murphy, the former 106-pound chain-
pton. finding It Imixmsthle to get nny *»oe Ids
Weight to meet him, has started t*> M-elf
matches with heavier tays. Th»‘ tlr*t one
Murphy would like to meet Is Al>e At tell.

WON PENNANT
George (Railings, the Georgia manager,
has won the Fa stern League pennant for
Buffalo. *
For a time the fight In the league for flrat
place was very hot. Jersey City forging to
the front only a few weeks ago. But the
Hkeeters were unable to hold tlielr winning
streak, nnd w«ut to pieces nt the critical
moment.
Lost year this pennant was won by the
Providence team. The Bisons ran well to
the front early In the season this year and
got a lend that the other tenuis could not
overcome, with the exception of Jersey
City. The Providence Grays were well out
of the race.
A post-season series of games will be the
portion of the Bisons, their opponents be
ing the Columbus team, winners of the
American AsiMndatlou pennant. Six games
Will be played, three In Buffalo and three
In Cotuud.it* *Au extra one, If needed, will

HOW KELLY COACHED THE TEAM
Minneapolis, Minn., Kept. 28.—Now that
tho baseball sex son la over. It will Dot
hurt to lot tbo public In on a little Joke
that tho ball players have been laughing
nt since August 22.
It Is on Joe O'Brien, president of the
league.
After the Inquisition at Milwaukee In
Auguat, O’Brien left Kelley, as he thought,
high and dry. He had banished him from
the bench, and naturally Joseph thought
ho had chased him off the grounds.
Then Kelley drew the club enrpenter to
one side, and the two aacemled the pen
nant pole In center field to have a talk
where It was quiet.
They came down. The carpenter dug
up hla saw, hatchet and some planka, nnd
Michael hied him away to a department
storn and bought several rolls of hoavy
wire netting.
The carpenter cut ont a nice panel Juat
back of the players' bench on the Minne
apolis sldo of the grandstand. It waa a
panel 18 Inchea deep and 7 feet long. Then
Michael had his wire screening tacked up.
The carpenter built a house around about
the atmosphere and the hole, and put on
a door and lock. Then ho constructed a
[bench for Michael and the king of Nicol
let park mounted hla throne. It worked
nicely. It gave a splendid view of the
hall park In the whole, nnd the manager
could whisper to the players as they snt
on the bench, and they could hear hlin.
His head wua not 10 Inchea from their
capo. He could signal them when the
team waa on the field, or to the bnoe
runner by changing the position of
hand on the screen. He was complying
with Joe's ultimatum that he could not
alt on the bench, hut his compliance with
tho rule made Joe a smile all over the
circuit. Not a player In the league would
tip It off to Joe, although It la a safe wa
ger that every one of them kuew of it.
Out-of-town scribes wondered how the
miller team could keep on playing win
ning ball so far removed from Kelley'i
advice and counsel. They were not. They
had It all the time. Joe was ctrcum
vented completely and "the coop" came
to lie a laughing poet all around the cir
cuit.
It was
irns a great Joke—great coop. It

For a youngster with a tail-end team,
Pitcher Glaae has done great work for the
Boaton Americana.
New York fans say that both Gotham
teams would have bad the pennants cinch-
od had MeGrnw and Griffith cut out the

Some late dope on baseball managers for
next season: Duffy, Boston Americans;
Jennings, Detroit Americans; Armour,
Washington; Murray, Philadelphia Na

Rumor has It that Jimmy Collins will
buy no Interest In the Buffalo Eastern
League club and manage the dub next
season. Jimmy's home Is in Buffalo.
Some of the veterans of the Pltsbnrg

The Kastem League has been shy of

New York-Phtladclphia games. The Giants

CliarTcy BaBb Is a great admirer of game
chickens, and would rather fight them than
6at. When the team played lu Montgom
ery for the first time this season, Charley
ran across “Red" Phil Ehret and “Pop*
Frrnik Welkart In front of the Glenmore
hotel one night after supper. Red and
Charley started talking chickens. Khret
said there was a man near Montgomery
who had the best game cocka and as fine
a bunch of stags as there was In the world.
Charley disagreed with Red, and the argu
ment went on. Before they realised It,
the city lights had gone uot.
“Gee! What time Is it?*’ asked Charley.

The campalgn^of 1906 has been choked
np with notable records, but the greatest
of all kas been overlooked In tho dope

run of straight wins, but for all-round con
sistency, oo major league club has ever
approached It. The matter referred to Is
the wonderful work of the Chicago Cuba
since Brooklyn trimmed them three out
of four In July. Counting from that pe
riod, Chance’s men have worked out Just
fifty-five games on the road and at home,
with fifty victories recorded and but five
long defeats. Their percentage of wins In
the last two months of play has been
about .911. Neither the National League
nor the American League contains any such
record for consistent work throughout such
a lengthy spell of play.—Exchange.

Bueky Thiel used to play second base in
the Western League. Thoso who have seen

where Buck got his knowledge. “That

mate of hls there. “He was the short-
atop for fair, and helped them win tho
pennant the laat time they landed It.” Buck
nodded modestly. “But I never could

Coach W. T. Reid, who la at the bend of
Harvard football this year, Is probably the
highest salaried football coach In the coun
try. Reid last year received $3,500 from the
Harvard Athletic Association for hls two
months' conchlug, and then It was admitted
he received $1,600 from other sources, so
that his salary was $5,000 n year. The only
other conch who ever received this amount
was Foster Sanford, the old Yale player,
when he was coach at Columbia.
The candidates for the football team of
the Annapolis naval academy are to respond

Every bit of available space has been al

St. Louis Is the only city which has two
baseball clubs which occupy different posi
tions In tho standings of the two major
leagues. The St. Louis Americans hnve It

Chicago of course bent Boston In the Amer

good stagger, though, and lost by the score
of 3 to 2.
In the National League nothing particu
larly sensational happened, though Brook

With the opening of Tech Wednesday
Will come the final call for candidates for
the football team nnd the final raking
through college for all the material In
sight. Within two or three days now the
football squad will rise to about Its top
notch, nnd there It will stick until ^he
chaff Is sorted from the grain nnd the grain
Is run through the mill, nnd the finished
product turned over to the public for Its
Inspection.
Just how many good men will turn up
for the opening, time will tell, nnd It will
not take a lot of time. The call for vol
unteers will bo followed by a dash through
college for all likely looking men, and
within a few days Tech field will be
fairly alive with candidates for positions
on the first nnd second teams.
