WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26,190(5, FOOTBALL PRACTICE GOES ON wmrnmrnmmmamrnamwm SPORT NEWS —EDITED BY-- PERCY H. WHITING %60SSBSS6S09SSK8G6SS6S6SSGS8SaS5^^ 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.

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. CANT FINISH G0LFJ1ATCHES 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.

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 Mlnneapolla tho benefit of Kelley's FRACTURED SPORTS 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 umpire-halting. Some late dope on baseball managers for next season: Duffy, Boston Americans; Jennings, Detroit Americans; Armour, Washington; Murray, Philadelphia Na tionals. 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 team will have to go if the Pirates expect do better than third position next sea son. Manager McCIoskey, of the St Louis Na tloiinls. changes bis hatting order nearly every day. But the Cardinals cau't wlu. The Kastem League has been shy of hitter* all season. Grant, of Jersey City, 1 Gettiunu. of Buffalo, nre the only reg- ular men lu the select class. Pitcher Neil Kennn, of the Louisville American Association team, has a tatting erage of .547 for fifty-live games. Great work for a slubber. In the series fi»r the world*# champion, ship, which will follow the close of the two potinnnt races, the t'hlcngo Nntlounl* are hot favorite*. The average fan ibus-.* It out iMUiiettilng like this: The Chlca- goes have the National League peuu.tut cinched, and from now on all they have to do Is to take care of themselves, and they will be In great shape for the aeries, it D money to marbles that the winner of the American League pennant will be busy every minute to the close of the season. Kvery Indication points to a heart-break ing pace until the finish, and the tenm that lands at the top In the American league wdl ta pretty nearly all In. Most likely It will he a repetition of laat year's New York-Phtladclphia games. The Giants had plenty of time to rest before the series, hut the Athletics bnd to play under a full head of steam right up to the very laat. It la probable that the two winners will battle under the same conditions this fall.

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. They walked Into the hofel and looked at the clock. It waa halt-pant 2. They had been talking chickens Juat six hours and thirty minutes.—Memphis News-Scimitar. The campalgn^of 1906 has been choked np with notable records, but the greatest of all kas been overlooked In tho dope up to'date. It . doesn't Include nny great 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. Every effort will be made to Induce Manager George Stallings to reconsider his determination to resign ami sell hts stock to the Buffalo club.—Boston Herald. Bueky Thiel used to play second base in the Western League. Thoso who have seen him cavort around the keystone bag at Rod Elm park have probably wondered where Buck got his knowledge. “That guy used to ta a peach In Omaha," vouchsafed Nick Carter, who was a team 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 stand the base-runner coming at me when l was fielding a hall," he anld, "and I prefer the simple life of the outfield for mine.”—Memphis News Scimitar.

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 to the call for practice today. The sqiMd this year Is sshl to be especially strong la halfbacks, snd It Is expected that the open game uuder tbo new rules will Improve the navy’s chances against West Point aud other heavy teams.

The St. Louis Americans hnve It a little over thtwNatlonala, but not by much. The Highlanders dropped back a peg Tuesday, when they lost to Detroit. The Michigan Man-Eaters made one of their stretch runs, scored two In the eighth In ning and two In the ninth, winning by a score of 6 to 5. Al Orth got ble to the ex tent of li hits. So likewise did Killian, but New York made two errors. Chicago of course bent Boston In the Amer ican League. The Fragments made a pretty good stagger, though, and lost by the score of 3 to 2. In the National League nothing particu larly sensational happened, though Brook lyn mnnnged to make Chicago play ten In nings before they eoahl score the single run which won the game.

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. Sowly but surely the mem hers of the teniu who hnve been out for practice during the past week or ten days are taginnlug to get a grasp on the new rules, nnd while nothing especially fancy is expected In the game Saturday with Maryville, the first workings of the "forward pass,” the '»on- slde kick,'* the 10-yard rule" and the like will be seen, nnd no doubt wondered at. Alt the football people will be out for the opener. There Is no real Intercollege feeling or rivalry tatween Tech nnd Mary- IIle, but there Is plenty of wonder over he uew rules.
