HERE Is WHERE
DOPE DOESN'T co
Jiu-Jitsu Wrestling Contest Has the
Sports Guessing.
TO SETTLE CONTROVERSY
IDEAS TO BE GAINED FROM NEW
TANGLED STUNTS.

tomorrow night the much-moOted ques-
ton whether the new tangled system OF
jiu-jitsu, which is such a rage through
out the country at the present time. is
what it is claimed 20 be, or whether those
who advocate it have got this country

TINS question that match was ARA agcd
the best posted jiu-jitsu eXpert-Iyhich is
pronounced Jew Jit'-that the local Jap
anese could secure on the Pacific coast.
Roolhson Is perhaps the best informed
catcl-as-catch-can wrestler in this part
OF the country. and il is only on account
of his extremely light weight that he is
not among the champions of the day
Sato Says His Man is Good.
Louis y Sato. one of the best known
japanese of this city, says his man is one
of the best jiu-jitsu men in the country.
ana as there Is no one in these parts who

what Mr.. SatO says will have to go. As
the men have posted a forfeit TO weigh
100 pounds tomorrow, there is little doubt
that they will be on other than equal
terms as far as weight is concerned.
Just what a match between a catch-as-
catch-can wrestler and a jiu-jitsu expert

to say 1t may last minute and may
last a week The catch-as-catch-can part
OF 1t IS all right and interesting. but Just
what happens when "A Jap gets "A jiu-jitsu
hold on man Is not known outside OF
what one hears about it. The latest dope
is TO the effect that "A little Jap can down
big man with ease when jiu-jitsu Is
brought into play but there are many
who will have to be shown this before
it will be accepted as an established fact.
Jiu-Jitsu Goes For Jap.
The Japanese believe in jiu-jitsu some
thing like other people believe m the
Bible. They make great claims for It
and have succeeded in making the presi-
dent of the United States and the au-
thorities at West Point and Annapolis
take an interest in it, They now pro-
pose to make the people of this town

months ago, COrbett has. by hard
work, reduced himself 70 the weight
limit of $50. In former fights it was

Corbett. This time. however, it is diff

WHEN THESE MEN MEET.

Whenever Young COrbett or Battling
Nelson step into the ring. Salt Lake
sports are as much interested in the
outcome of the fight as if both men
were or local origin. The fact, there
fore, that these two men are to meet
next Tuesday night at San Francisco
l. attracting a great amount Of atten-
ton in Zion. and bets are being freely
made on the outcome. In spite of the
f1ct that Corbett was beaten decisive
~ by Nelson in their last match. there
is a strong undercurrent of feeling here
that the chubby champion of Denver
win turn the tables on the Durable
Dane this time. The only reason for
this is that many figure Corbett is in
condition this time, while it is freely
admitted this was not the case in their
former battle.

Corbett Was Never Better

If the accounts coming from the
coast can be relied on, Corbett is in
fact d better man today than he has
been for many a year. Before every
battle of any cOnse quence. all sorts OF
stories are published about the cOndi-
ton of the men, and these stories are
always 10 the effect that each man is
Is fit as a fiddle and as hard as nails.
This dope always precedes every big
battle and then after il is all over the
defeated man comes out with the state
ment that he was not in shape for the
fight.
This excuse has been circulated
about these two men, but in COrbett' s
case it has been handed out in such
q manner that there is little doubt
that the former champion. at the pres
cnt time, has returned to the same
form he was i'm when he fought Me
Govern and won the championship
More attention has been given to Cor
belts condition than to any other fea-
ture of the fight, and the fact that he
is in shape has been emphasized so
strongly that those who depend on the
dope for their information may rest
assured that COrbett is really himself

GROVES RELEASED AND
REARRESTED IN A DAY
Forgery Charge Dismissed in Police
Court-Attorney Held Under
Bail by Justice

After having been released on the
charge of forgery in the police court
yesterday morning, Attorney A.
Groves, alleged to be a forged deed
swindler, was yesterday rearrested and
taken before Justice Pierce in the
township court
In the Justices court he is charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses in securing $500 on an alleged
false deed in which appear the names
of p. Hackett and A. Langworthy.
These names are said to be fictitious,
and the authorities are determined to
emake this charge hold, after having
failed in the forgery case by reason Of
the fact that the alleged forged instru-
ments are missing.
Attorney Dyer in behalf of Groves
asked the court to fix his clients bail
in the sum of $1,000. Deputy District
Attorney McComas demurred to the
amount and urged the court to fix the
bail in the sum of $25O0.
After considerable argument Justice
Pierce fixed the amount at $4,000.

BOARD DOES NOT FAVOR
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation Resents Inference That
Compromise Has Been Made

At a special meeting of the directors
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association a committee representing
those interested in the success of the
evangelistic work now in progress in
the city appeared before the director
ate and made a formal request that
the association indorse the proposition
for closing all the stores of Los An
geles for two hours on February IA, in
order that all of the merchants and en-
ployes may have an opportunity to at
tend and enjoy the benefits of the re-
ligious services. DR.. Robert Mcintyre
was the spokesman for the committee.
After the members of the committee
had retired the request was discussed
at some length, and the following reso-
luton was adopted as the expression of
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this association that it is inadvisable
to indorse the request of the commit
tee representing the evangelists to
close the stores of this city Tuesday,
February IA, between the hours of II 80
a. m. and p. M, as many of the
larger firms have been interviewed and
have expressed themselves as unfavor-
able to such action"
Since the above action was taken by
the directorate statements have been
published to the effect that the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
had been a party to a compromise by
way of personal consent on the part of
the merchants or by means of the
posting of consent cards in the stores
These reports appear to be without
authority so far as the association as
a body is concerned.
Secretary Ieehandelaar of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
said last evening: please state that
all talk about compromise on the
part of the association is without
foundation. The association has eX-
pressed itself in the resolution and
there is nothing more to be said The
members of this association are among
the best business men of Los Angeles
and the action of the directorate will
stand without change"

HURT BY HORSE; SUES
FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
Proprietors of Long Beach Livery
Stable Defendants in


Alleging he was permanently In
jured by vicious horse, NJ. A. Gard
ner yesterday filed suit in the superior
court against l.. H. Moore and f. p.
stables at Long Beach.
The accident is said to have occur
red on the evening of November u.s.,
1908, and the animal declared to have
collided with Gardner, is described as
saddle horse known as Med"
Gardner says in his complaint, among
other things, that he was rendered
senseless, that he suffered concussion
of the brain, sustained a broken nose,
and was more or less permanently
disfigured about the face.
In estimating his damages Gardner
first asks the court to award him dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 for the in
juries. In another count he asks the
court to award him the sum of $40 for
damage done to his clothes. Gardner
says he was compelled to eXpend the
sum of $14.50 in the payment of a
surgeons bill, and also $25 for the
services of a nurse. Having been pre-
vented from attending to his ordi-
nary labor Gardner estimates his loss
in this particular to be at least $795.
And finally he seeks to recover the
sum of $4,000 as compensation for the
permanent injuries sustained.

Will Not Sian

There is little likelihood that the
three street railroad franchises
granted by the council Tuesday will
ever go on record as such. The passage
of the charter amendments by the
Legislature has killed them in the incu-
batting stage. The documents have
been sent to the mayor. but it is ex-
pected that he will return them to the
council for reconsideration. 1t is GER
tain that he will not sign them.
