Exciting Bouts at Hayes

collided with Sheehans left hand and he
went to the canvas and was counted out.
j. j. Dukelow, champion welterweight
Of America, and Charles Hawley, Bay
City Athletic Club, were also down on he
bill as another main event, but Dukelow
robbed the bout Of interest by landing
terrific right swing in the first round
which sent Hawley to the floor in heap.
He took the count and stumbled to his
feet only to be knocked down again.
Dukelow went right to his opponent,
knocking him down five or six times. In
the second round Dukelow drew Hawley
out with feint and then sent a trip
hammer right to his short ribs Hawley
went to the feathers for keeps and was
counted out
Billy Ingnam and Harry Bowers
weighed In at 100 pounds and furnished
the most exciting bout of the evening.
When the gong brought them to the CEN
ter OF the ring they went to work with
right jolt on the jaw and for a moment
it seemed all over but the shouting. Ing

ing. and at the close landed a swing en-

BIG DEMAND
FOR THE TICKETS
Football Admission Cards
Going Fast.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 81
Tickets for the intercollegiate football
game on November 9 were placed on sale
at the gridiron box office at 1:30 o'clock
this afternoon by Treasurer Edwards. In
less than three hours over seven hundred
tickets had been sold. realizing about
$500 in cash. Students lined up before the
office at least an hour and half before
the sale began in order to get first choice
of seats. Many of them purchased the
limit of twenty tickets in order to get de-
sirable seats for friends unable to come
to the office early in the afternoon. The
remainder of the tickets will be sold at
the university bookstore, and indications
are pointing to an exceedingly large sale.
Bert Oliver is said to be the choice of
the majority of the college coaches and
officials for the exacting position of ref
cree at the intercollegiate football game.
Coach Fickert of Stanford is, it is
claimed, the only one holding out against
his selection. Oliver has proved the best
official seen here this season. He under
stands the game thoroughly and insists
on everybody on the field playing fairly.
He has allowed side line coaching.
Tickets for the game will be placed on
sale in this city tomorrow at noon at
Clabrough, Golcher & Co.'s and H. Skin
ner's.
The Reliance and Olympic Athletic Club
teams have let up in their training. They
will resume practice again at once if a
match game is arranged between them.

In the Handbal1 Court.
Jeffries still taboos boxing. He is not
taking any chances with his right arm.
He strained it while playing baseball at
Catalina Island a few months ago. 1t Is
gradually losing its soreness. He punches
the bag with Incredible speed, skips the
rope, rows and plays handball. Yesterday
he gave an exhibition of his prowess at
the game. His speed in the handbail
alley was remarka bic. Corbett certainly
played fast game and Jefries is not far
behind him when he warmed up to his
work. He played handball with The
Calls correspondent and beat him three
straight games. The contest was highly
exciting and the spectators enjoyed the
big fellows fast foot work.
Jim is strong and rugged. The month
stay in this vicinity has done him world
of good. The tramps he has taken over
the mountains have benefited his wind
and added strength to his underpinning.
He believes this is one Of the best places
in the country for man to gain strength.
Corbett was the first boxer to train at
Harbin. The Hayes Valley boxer trained
here for his memorable barge fight with
Joe Choynski. While up here Corbett
made a record climbing the steep noun
tain in front Of the hotel that stood for
many years. Jeffries believes in hill
climbing, but, like a wise man, does not
risk his neck breaking records
Il have been asked time and again how
I am going to fight Ruhlin, Jenries said.
The question cannot be answered at this
time 1t will depend wholly upon my op-
ponent. If he stands up and gives blow
for blow there will be a merry time in
store for him and the spectators will see
some real fighting. If, however, Rubin
should run away 1 will simply stand and
laugh at him. 1t would be waste of time
to chase him around the ring. We are
both there to test our supremacy. 1 will
go to the center and will not break
ground. 1 have never done so and actu-
ally don't know how to retreat"
Jim was in a happy mood last night.
With brother Jack and a few others he
tied a COW bell under Bob Armstrong s
bed, and when the big colored boxer was
dreaming of chickens jeff gave the string
a couple of jerks. The old bell changed
loudly in the still night and Bob jumped
from the bed with a yell. He soon dis
covered the cause Of the disturbance and
opened his window and admonished the
jokers TO "go awa-a-a-y back and sit
down"

Kennedy laughed and replied, ''Well,

to secure the heavyweight title and

''Choynski," he said, 'is the only man
in the ring who ever landed a blow
upon me that 1 felt It was a straight
punch in the nose and made me rock.
Any other man would have given up the
struggle then and there, but 1 went right
after him. I would have had little trou-
ble in defeating Joe that night in Wood

told me before I went into the ring that

Jefries Discusses His Weight.
"When 1 fought Fitzsimmons I
weighed about 207 pounds That is my
best fighting weight. My friends all think
/ am at my best at 220 pounds, but that
is not so. The night I battled with Bob
I was IN grand shape. We went at it
hammer and tongs. I had not started
to fight when I knocked him out. L felt
then as if I could have fought all
night"
When Jeffries came in from his long
run last night he weighed about 215
pounds. He believes he can come down
To a lower notch on the balancing rod
and feel strong. Although he weighs in
the neighborhOOd of go pounds he is as
active as a lightweight.
In speaking of his fight with Sharkey
he says the sailor should have won that
right as he was handicapped by an in
jury to his left arm.
THAT night I actually had Sharkey
whipped in the first five rounds, but my
arm failed me. The first three wallops
with the left had Tom staggering. When
my left became crippled I simply used it
for blocking and used the right. I Ger
tainly gave him a terrible beating, and
