TRUST CALLS OFF
THE PROPOSED
CONTEST

The prize-fght trust is consistent
The promoters believe in FORM and
consequently the December date lapses
without contest, the proposed
match between Willie Fitzgeralds and
Cyclone Thompson has been called off.
Willis Britt, who is recuperating at
San Mateo from the effects of seasonal
illness, was not on the ground to look
after affairs. Gregory Mitchell. who
was trying to promote the affair in
Britt's absence, saw that the trust
made another mistake and wired
Thompson at ogden yesterday not to
come.
Thompson was reported to be due in
this city last evening, but Mitchell
says the reason why he called the
match off was because the Montana
boy could not reach this city before
Thursday night and would have to
fight the following night without be-
ing able 20 get in condition for bruis-
ing mill.
December was the last date allowed
the fight trust to promote a profess
sional contest.
The talk of a meeting between Bill
Squires, the Australian heavyweight
champion, and Jeffries does not meet
with the approval of sporting men.
Followers of boxing are adverse to Civ
ing the foreigner a chance against the
champion without showing the people
of this country how good he really is.
There are several aspiring heavy
weights who would be glad to hook
up with the Australian, and if he made
showing against one of these as
pirants that would entitle him to a
match with Jeff an international match
could be arranged which would cause
unusual interest.
Already there is demand for per-
mits to hold professional contests dur
ing the next year. All the amateur
promoters are desirous of getting into
the big game. and in a few days the
Supervisors will be flooded with petit
tions for permits.

PASSING OF THE BUFFALO

The total area inhabited by the buf-
falo was about 100000 square miles.
OF this the open plains were one-half.
According TO figures supplied by A. f.
Potter Of the forest service the range
Of the Dakotas Montana. Wyoming,
Nebraska. Kansas, Colorado, Texas and
Oklahoma in total of about 100000
square miles, or half of the plains)
were. according to the census of 1900,
carrying $4,000. 900 head Of cattle and
horses and about 100000 head OF
sheep. This means that when fully
stocked they, might sustain a number
Of buffalos. at least equal to the num-
her Of cattle and horses The buffalo
had to divide their heritage with nu-
nerous herds of mustangs, antelope
and wapitf; on the other hand, buff
falo could find a living where range
animal would starve. Many of the
richest bottom lands are now fenced
in. and we have taken no account Of
the 5000 600 sheep. Therefore we are
safe in placing at 40y00O,000 the buff
faIo living on the entire plains area

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-When Shannon

by John T. Brush, the owner Of the
New York National League baseball
club last year, New York was also
given the release of Shay, an infielder
who is good both at shortstop and sec

and declined to play with St Louis
because the climate Of the Missouri
metropolis did not agree with his wife.
McGraw is very anxious TO get Shay
in harness this year AMI one reason
for making the early trip to Califor-
MIA was to see Shay ana obtain his sig
nature to contract McGraw is now
on his way to the slope, but a letter
from Shay coming East has passed the

In the letter Shay says that he is de-

the Giants in 1907, and that he has al
ready entered into negotiations to sell
his tobacco business in order that he

Great Interest in
the Big Fight

TONOPAH, New, Dec. 24.-The Cans
Herman fight is the chief topic of dis
cussion here now. The entire popula-
tion is taking about the contest sched-
uled for New Years day. and already
outsiders are fiocking here to witness
the coming bout. The training quar-
ters of the contestants are crowded
daily with enthusiastic fight fans
watching the boxers go through their
training stunts.
They take up their training work az
different hours Of the day. Cans is an
early bird and goes into his gymnasium
at an early hour to train. His quar-
ters are filled with an admiring throng
who eagerly watch the clever colored
boxer go through his work in a skillful
manner. After he completes his work
the crowd drifts over to the quarters
of the Chicago boy to watch him. Both
of the fighters are impressive workers
in the gymnasium and show speed and
skill In boxing and bag-punching that
only high class fighter can exhibit
Herman is daily gaining many ad-
mirers, who believe he has an excellent
chance to lower the colors of the cham
pion. The sincere manner in which he
has taken up his work and the con-
fidence he expresses that he will defeat
his opponent Is gaining him many sup
porters who will back him against
the Baltimorean.
Herman realizes what victory means
to him. This is the important fight of
his career, and to beat the champion
means a reputation and fortune as his
reward.
IF 1 win this bout" he said. you
watch my smoke And 1 am going to
win 1t, too. 1t took seven years of
hard plugging to get a reputation that
entitled me to this match, and / am
going to prove the biggest surprise
since Jim Corbett beat John l. Sulli-
van. Cans Is not invincible and he
must lose sometime 1 think the time
is ripe now for me to stow him away
The colored boxer is cool and patient
and full of confidence as to the result
of the encounter. but he is not taking
any chances by Understanding the
ability of his opponent and neglecting
his training work. On the other hand,
he is working like beaver to get him.
self in tip-top shape, and the question
of condition will have no effect on the
result of the battle, as both men will
be undoubtedly at their best. The con-
testants are taking off weight sys-
tematically so they will reach the 133-
pound mark on the day of the battle
and be at their best
While Cans at the present time is
an overwhelming favorite there is con-
siderable Herman money making its
appearance which will likely send the
short-end price up point or two Sew
eral big commissions have been sent
from Chicago by Herman admirers to
be wagered on their man.
