place in left field.
Tommy was out in uniform yester

There Is a lot of talk around town
about the prospective ‘birthday par

ball park to-morrow, when "Bill

Dan McKetriek, the dapper lltle fight
manager, is going to take another trip
to Europe. He ha* been across the big
pond so often that he forget* the num

the other side he’ll take with him the
largest string of fighters that any man
ager ever piloted to a foreign country.
L OS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—-Pro
moter T. J. McCarey,. for the
past ten years president of the
Pacific A. C., is positive in his belief
that Jeffries was "doped" when he
fought Jack Johnson.
"Jeffries could walk right into the
ring to-day and make a 100 pe^ cent
better showing than he did at Reno,"
said McCarey to-day.
"I was watching Jeffries when he
came into the Reno arena. He
lurched down the aisle like a drunken
man, bumping his shoulder against
the moving picture stand. At the
ringside one of his best friends, Clar
ence Berry, reached out to shake
hands, but Jim didn’t appear to rec
ognize him.
The boxers that little Dan will take
abroad are Joe Jeannette, Frank Moran,
both heavyweights; Barney Williams, a
middleweight; Young Ahearn. a welter
weight, and Mickey Dunn, a bantam.
Ad Wolgast has evidently thought
better of another meeting w r lth Harlem
Tommy Murphy, and naa decided he
doesn't want any more of the Harlem
boy’s game. Anyway, Ad called off a
proposed meeting with Tommy set for
Labor Day and will, instead, take on
Johnny Dundee on September 9.
Curley Jordan writes from Jackson-

1 posed as an intimate friend of
Jim’s prior to the fight. He bet heav
ily on Johnson and after the thing
was over he never even went to Jef
fries to speak to him, and to my
knowledge has never seen Jim since.
"This fellow' used to coax Jeffries
away from the Monoa Springs train
ing camp to go fishing. For hours
he would keep Jim standing knee
deep in the mountain streams and
cause him to neglect his training.
"I believe that Jeffries was the vic
tim of a widespread plot. The man
never had a chance. He w r as whipped
before he could put up his hands.
This was one of the worst blows ever
dealt the boxing game and I would
pay a good sum out of my own pock

J OCK M’NEIL, th© daring motor
cycle racer, who was thrown
from his machine while travel
ing at a speed of 80 miles an hour, is
still unconscious at the Grady Hos
pital. The attending physicians have
little hope for his recovery.
It was McNeil’s own carelessness
that caused his fall. He reported at
the track yesterday afternoon under
, the influence of liquor, and after much
j w'rangling with the other riders he
Insisted on taking a whirl.
He borrowed Morty Graves’ stock
machine and immediately after start
ing ascended to the white boards at
the top of the track. The white boards
are perpendicular and It takes a speed
of at least 80 miles an hour to hold
the machine.
The first time around his motor
broke through the boards in two
places, but McNeil refused to come
down. The next time around he rode
right into one of the holes that he
had smashed on his first trip, and
was thrown 50 feet in the air. He
came down face first.
An ambulance was called and he
was rushed to Grady Hospital. The
extent of his injuries are:
