JEFFRIES WANTS A BIG FEE.
Representative Says He VIII Not Con.
slider Offer of Less Than S1000

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30.-Britt and
Nelson will have to make another bid
if they want the services of Jeffries
s referee. 1t may be necessary for
them to more than double their offer
of $500, because the retired champion
thinks he is worth more than that He
is in such financial circumstances that
he does not need the money. Jeffries
left for Santa Catalina this morning
to remain several days. The wireless
telegraph system between the island
and the mainland is not working to-
night and therefore he could not be
communicated with personally.
Before his departure he had a con-
ference with a number of his friends
during which he talked of his plans.
Jim Morley, manager of the Los An
geles baseball team, who is possibly
closer to Jeffries than any other per-
son in Los Angeles, declared tonight
that Jeffries would not consider an Of
fer of less than $1,000 for his services
as referee. Il know just how he feels
about 1t" said Morley. He told me
that although he has not received the
formal offer of $500, he considers that
sum too small He says it would be
like making of the coming fight a.
cheap affair. His last word to me was
to the effect that he was willing to
act as referee provided the managers
make 1t worth his while, but he will
not touch that offer of $500. If they
want him they'll have to at least
double it and then perhaps add some"
Morley and Jeffries are the prime
movers in new athletic club which
is intended to rival anything Of the
kind In the north. They are backed
by abundant capital. but they have de-
clined thus far to disclose their plans.
1t is known. however, that the new
organization will be of such a char
acter as to attract to itself the atten-
ton of the pugilistic world 1t is to be
Incorporated, to have fine clubhouse.
and its purpose will be to advance
clean sports of various kinds

Eugene Cowles, the well-knoSvn singer of
"Bostonians" fame, is easily the top-liner
of good bill at Chase's this week. His

several standard compositions.
Mile. Martha, aeralist and trapeze per-
former, gave a performance far above the
average. Rice and Provost in "Bumpety

hounds made some astonishingly long and

New Pastor occupies Pulpit.

Rev Dr. John Lee Allison, pastor of Gum
ton Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church,
preached the first sermon Of his new pas
torate Sunday morning before large con-
gregation. He is a young man and speaks
with earnestness and animation. His text
was Psalm xvii :35-"And Thy gentleness
hath made me great The subject upon
which he built his remarks was THE Ten
derness Of the Mighty God"
He said that while the Lords voice Is
mighty and full of majesty, yet in lifting
the tides and speeding the stars through
the heavens He makes no noise. He SAID
gentleness in men did not denote the abb
sence of vigor but showed that true man
hood was present.
DR. Allison came here from Baltimore,
where he was pastor of the Westminster
PRESBYTERIAN Church, at which church he
preached his last sermon Sunday, February
20. He was extremely popular at his church
in Baltimore. His alma mater, King Col
lege, conferred upon him the degree of
DID, which was duplicated by the Arkan-
sas Normal College some years ago.
