ORDINARY CARD PROVIDED
FOR THIS AFTERNOON
by TRYING b. CLEMENT

Only an ordinary card is provided for
today at Ascot. The horsemen will
keep their good ones in the barn in
preference to running them over a
heavy track. Six well filled events will
be run and close finishes will probably
be the result. No stakes or handicaps
are on the card, but the fourth race
between Cingarlighter and Line of Life
is sufficient Of a drawing card.
AS they are weighted Cigarighter is
my choice, as he will like the going
and should retrieve himself for his hard
luck Thursday. Line of Life is a chronic
bleedr, but at that she runs her race
every time and does not bleed in the
early afternoon. If anything beats Ci-
garlighter this is the one most likely
to do 1t. Lille b. also bleeds in her morn
ing trials and at times i'm her races,
but she is so much the best of the 9TH
ers that she should get the third
money.
Lady Kitty has Louise Fitzgibbon to
beat In the first race The latter is fit
and ready, but is a slow beginner. Star
of Runnymede will run a good race
and will be a dangerous factor. Joan
of Arc is very speedy and has good
chance to win. The following horse
numbers may go up after the finish:
Lady Kitty. Louise Fitzgibbon, Star Of
Runnymede.
Confessor looks to have the best
chance to get away with the second
race. The weight will not bother him
and only an ordinary field is opposed
to him. El Bernado showed good
turn of speed In his last race and run
as though short. That race viii put
him on edge for this afternoon and he
should beat out Jack Kereheville for
place.
The latter runs an improved race
each time he starts and may turn the
trick today. Foncasta has a chance to
track and will not extend himself over
a slow course.
Judge Nelson, on his last race, when
he ran good second TO Lord Stanhope,
should romp home In the third race. as

JEFFRIES HAS NOT
HEARD FROM DELANEY

According to the dispatches received
from San Francisco last night, Billy
Delaney has signed Jim Jeffries for a
finish battle with Squires, the Aus
tralian champion, Jeffrles, when ques-
toned, furnished nothing Of a reliable
nature, asserting that he did not know
of the match. The question was put
to him:
IF Delaney signed for you does 1t go?"
well, l don't know yet" said JEFF
fries.
Evidently Jim does not know where
he stands, or Is unwilling to make a
definite statement. He has several
times spoken of $4,000, stating a desire
to receive that amount as a purse offer
should he meet anyone in the ring. He
has not, however. intimated that he
would not go on for less than that
amount.
Fifty thousand dollars for a prize
ring battle would appear as an exorbi-
tant price and one out OF keeping with

Of 1873 pounds two hours before entering
the ring.
Herman gave an exhibition Of fast

below the 1SS-pound notch, and II any
thing Will aim to Increase rather than
decrease his weight.
The fighters and their managers were
officially n)tified by Manager Riley Of
the Casino Athletic club today that they
would be required to weigh in at
o'clock on New Years day and that the
lightweight battle will be started
promptly at o'clock, Pacific time. In
the event Of a prolonged contest Riley
announced that the moving picture
lights would be OF sufficient power for
Illuminating purposes.
There was little activity in the bet
ting today. Cans remains the favorite
at odds OF 2 to l. Many small wagers
were registered in the local pool rooms,
Herman money being in most evidence.

he has only Renraw to beat. The lat
ter is speedy, but has never gone the
route. Illusion looks next best and has
only Edwin T. Fryer to beat for the
short end of the purse. The latter has
lot of weight up.
If Escalante is anywhere near to the
form he displayed here last year he
should beat this kind like breaking
sticks. Sly Ben should again beat out
La Chata. Toots Nook makes her de-
but today and is very speedy. May
upset calculation by winning, as she
shows good work in her morning trials.
Young Davis and Prince Magnet will
set such a fast clip in the sixth race
they should come in one, two. Young
Davis is very game, while Prince Mag
net is chicken-hearted and liable to
quit. Gentle Harry should hold the
halanca safe.

WEST WILL SEND
GREAT ATHLETES
CALIFORNIA TO BE REPRE-
SENTED AT JAMESTOWN
Mum and Rose viii Endeavor to De-
feat Famous Track Men Of the
Eastern Universities
and Colleges

At the worlds all-around chamnion-
ship, which will be held at the Janes-
town exposition in Virginia next wear
California will be represented by al
leafs two sterling athletes Albert
Mum, the best all-round high school
athlete in the west, will no doubt wear
the colors of the Olympic club, and in
the event that Ralph Rose, the world
renowned weight man, can secure his
release from the Chicago Athletic club.
1t Is very likely that the Healdsburg
giant VIII accompany Mum on the
same team.
California was represented in the ALL
round games two years ago at Portland
for the first time and the showing made
by Victor Lydia of the Olympic club
was very creditable, as he was beaten
out only by few points for first place.
Since the meet at the Lewis and
Clark exposition California athletes
have been anxious to try for honors as
all-around men, and such men as Wal
ter Christie, trainer at the University
of California, and Max L. Rosenfeld.
captain of the Olympic club, are Of the
opinion that Rose, Snedigar, Sperry or
Mum can cope with the best.
The list of contestants at the games
next year Will include the famous Mar
tin Sheridan, Johnny Garrels, the great
Michigan hurdler, weight man and foot
ball player, and T. F. Kiely, winner of
the all-round championships at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition.
OF these men the Michigan athlete
should score the most points. Garrels
has equaled Kranzlein's record of O:15N
in the high hurdles, run the 100 in
0:10 1-5, and with the exception of the
ifty-six-pound weight has done better
in every event than his competitors.
Sheridan, however, is very consistent.
although he is not star in any one
event barring the discus.
Mum should roll up the most points
among the Californians and his chances
of winning should be the best. There
is no doubt that Munn's high Jump of
five feet eleven inches and his pole
vault record of over eleven feet would
beat the fasteners, and then in the
mile Mum can do five minutes or bet
ter. The question remains, can he
overcome the big percentage Rose and
Sheridan would roll up over him in the
weights and Garrels in the hurdles and
the sprint.

SAN FRANCISCO, Fec. 2S-Acting
for Jeffries Billy Delaney today signed
articles for finish fight between JEFF
fries and Bill Squires of Australia, to
take place in Rhyolite, New, some time
in April. B. F. Taylor signed for the
Rhyolite club. According to the terms
of the agreement the men are to box
with tive-ounce gloves under Marquis
OF Queensberry rules. Squires is to be
allowed transportation for himself and
trainer from Australia.
The purse is to be $4,000, of which 60
per cent goes to the winner and 40 per
cent to the loser. Delaney said he was
acting under authorization granted him
by Jeffries some time ago and that
there was no doubt that the champion
would stand by the compact. Taylor
and Delaney came from Los Angeles
together and soon after settling to busi-

The club has on deposit $4,000 to

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
TONOPAH, New, Dec. 2S.-As the
days roll by and the Cans Herman
fight draws closer the sporting frater-
nifty about town seems to be more
than ever up in the air over the out
come of the bout, although when the
match was first made there was
general feeling throughout sportdom
that the Chicago fighter had no chance
whatever The sporting writers of the
country have evidently got out their
dope books and figured it all over
again. Within the last week more
than one of the men who have earned
big regulations by their predictions on
puglistic events have declared that
kid" Herman not only has a chance,
but a good one, of carrying off cham
pionship honors on New Years day.
1t is probably due to this reasoning
by the sport writer's that a number of
men whose faces are well known about
the centers of turf and ring gossip
on the coast and in Chicago have
quietly dropped into town the last day
or so. They have come very quietly
and mixed with the crowds that throng
the quarters of the fighters every after
noon. They do not get into the circle
of professional fight fans who have
gathered about Manager Riley's office
future, every night.
One or two of these pilgrims have
departed again as quietly as they came,
but before leaving they assured person
al friends that they would be here on
New Years day, and in proof of that
they carried with them a number of
choice seats each.
The arena Is at a stage now where
it's completion is assured at least two
days before the fight. Riley has kept
this matter under his personal super
vision since the first timber of the
foundation was laid and the rapidity
with which the building of the big
fight fest house has been accomplished
despite traffic blockades, wrecks, wind
storms and labor troubles Is sufficient
testimony to his ability as a director
of big operations.
The arena is Riley's particular pride,
and justifiably so. The structure is
no flimsy temporary affair. It is as
solid and substantial in construction
as any of the big mills in this country.
Riley says that in building it he was
not thinking only of this bout, but of
many other pugilistic events that he
is holding up his sleeve. The building
will last for years and Manager Mike
Riley declares that more than one of
the biggest fights in the world will
be pulled off in it.

has passed all expectation and banner

and the Baltimorean try conclusions.

possible that some club might bid
higher, though they would hardly be
warranted In doing so. Jack O'Brien
and Tommy Burns may thank their
stars that they are to receive like

With Jeffries so reticent as regards
making a definite statement relative to
the situation 1t does not seem at all
improbable that Delaney may have full
power of attorney. He has said that
he wished Squires to come over before
matching him, but Jeff probably real

Two factors enter into this considera-

distance from large bodies of water.
Denver has been suggested to the club,
but it will probably fix on ST. Louis.
The Missouri metropolis is the best sit

can be had and it is in sufficient guam.
tity it may be made the starting place
also for the Lahm cup. st. Louis is

The competition for the Bennett

TONOPAH, New, Dec. 2S,-Despite
a heavy fall of snow throughout the
night Cans and Herman took their
daily morning run of ten miles over the
country roads. The highways were knee
deep in mud and snow, but the rival
pugilists floundered through the mire

Herman stated this morning that

never trained harder in his life.
He said he was forced to do so, owing
to the cool weather, which made it diff

weight. Cans statement was corrobo-
