All the fans who saw the games seem
pleased with the work of the home team,
and the roofing on Sunday was the strong
est heard here in long time.
The manage ment is more than elated
over-the big crowds that turned out on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons and
Sunday morning on the Oakland field. The
Sunday afternoon brigade numbered 10000,
which is the largest crowd seen al a reg

PLAYS AN UPHILL GAME

NEW YORK, April s.--In the first
match for the worlds championship
tournament, eighteen-inch ba1k line,
two shots In, played tonight in Madison
square Garden Concert Hall, Orlando
Morningstar of Indianapolis defeated
Louis Cure of Paris, France. The score
was 500 to 46S in the Americans favor.
1t was an uphill fight for Mornfngstar
from the twenty-second inning, in
which the French expert made 100, the
high run of the game.
Inc lVories did not run any too kind
ly Tor Mornfngstar. who took the hard
luck smilingly. Whenever Cure got an
unexpected setback he, too. accepted the
situation with good nature. On the
whole Morningstar gave the cleverer
exhibition. He executed some extreme
ly difficult shots. but missed frequently
on seemingly easy single cushion car
oms and draw shots.
Cure was sure on cushion caroms and
his round the-table shots for three and
four cushions were marvels of execu-
ton. Cure played faster and with
more confidence than Morningstar, but
toward the close of the game the
younger man improved his pace and his
victory was well earned. Morning
stars average was 9 1854; Cures s
1853.
Besides the two players tonight there
are five others in the tournament. They
are Willie Hoppe, George Slosson,
George Sutton, all of this city; Jacob
Schaefer of Chicago and Albert G..
Cutter of Boston.
There will be twenty-one games in
all, each of 500 points. The winner will
be presented with the worlds 49,
championship trophy in addition to a
cash prize of 40 per cent of a fund made
up of a $4,000 purse. $3.50 entrance fees
and percentage of the net receipts.

WILL
OUTDO 0 'ROURKE
Local Promoter Willing to
Offer Jeffries $12O,O00 to
Appear in Six Bouts

If there is any chance OF getting Jim
Jeffries, the retired king of boxers, to
again enter the ring, Jim Coffroth, the
noted local promoter, is going to go
after it. Yesterday he announced he
would be willing to outdo Tom
O'Rourke, the New York magnate, and
New Workers. offer is 100000.
AT the present time this talk is moth
ing more than mere speculation. The
champion has not said he would re-
turn TO the game again, though many
think he will if the purse is large
enough. JEFF is said TO be in need of a
bit of spare change at the present time
and a cool 100000 or so is about
enough TO tempt even richer men than
the peer of gladiators. So there is a
chance TO see him go some more.
Il am willing to offer the big fellow
$4,000 TO fight Hart. Burns. Kauf-
mann, Fitzsimmons. OBrien and Ruh-
lin," said Coffroth yesterday afternoon.
This is $40 900 d fight. 1t is a lot of
money, but L figure it would be a good
investment. for the pictures of these
fights would be worth mint of money
TO any man.
If these fights ever should take place
the only arena in which 10 hold them
is at Colma. 1t would be Coffroth' S
idea to pull off the fights week apart,
or every Saturday afternoon during the
coming summer. The weather would
undoubtedly be fine all the time and
just right for the picture machines, the
main factor about the gigantic scheme.
COffroth has not as yet communicated
with Jeff, but if he thinks there is a
chance TO pull off the fights he will tap
the wire and get line on the big fell
low without further delay O'Rourke is
hot after the match, according to the
dispatches, and the local promoter does
not intend to let the Gotham man beat
him 10 the proposition if there is a
chance to gather any coin.
Billy Delaney, former manager of the
great champ. is of the opinion that JEFF
will never again enter the ring. He
says jeff retired because there was no
one in sight to meet him and that he
does not consider any of the present
six in his class.
Dick Fitzpatrick, the hard hitting
welter, who is matched to fight Joe
Thomas before the Colma Club on the
evening of April 20, will arrive in this
city this afternoon. Fitzpatrick is a
He fought several draws with Honey
Melody and is looked upon as one of
the best welters in the business today.
Hook Heys, the Australian light
weight, is attracting a great deal of
attention by the clever work he has
done while training with frankie Neil
at Alameda. Hook is getting ready to
meet Rufe Turner at Colma on April 80.
