San Francisco, Jan. 11.--Willie Fitzgerald and
Willie Lewis are now at the required weight and
will begin the tapering of process. Both boys
have had strenuous campaign and have spared
no effort to get in the best possible shape for
their twenty round battle slated for Colma on
Friday The remaining time preceding the con-
test will be utilized in the resting up process.
At Colma where Lewis has been doing his
training there is an air of confidence that Is sell
dom seen in lighters camp, but the same may
be said Of the Alameda quarters, where the hard
hitting Brooklynite has been pummeling his SPAR
ring partners for several qweeks past X
d Harry Foley and Joe Thomas think that Lewis
Is yeritable cinch, and cannot figure how he
can possibly lose. In this workout, Lewis has
demonstrated his punching ability and has shown
evidence Of the class which has won him 50 many
whirlwind battles in the east
While knowing how hard Willie Fitzgerald
can hit, Lewis takes the stand that he Is equally
as hard hitter, and In view of the fact that
he invariably lands on his opponents body, he
estimates that his blows will do much greater
damage.
Fitzgerald has his eye on match with Jimmy
Britt, and his manager Johnny Reid, Is laying
his lines to this end.s If he cannot get crack
at the native son, Reid will then endeavor to se-
cure "a go with Mike (Twinl Sullivan, or one of
the other topnotchers III his lads class AS
Lewis has the same object in view, hurricane
scrap will surely be dished up Friday night,
when they lock horns.

Chicago, Jan. 11.--"Unless j. Ed Grille, own
er of the Toledo club of the American associa-
ton, withdraws from the board of arbitration
Of the National association, to which he was
elected Tuesday in the convention of the latter
body, the National baseball commission will de-
cline to carry out its recent conditional agree
ment to increase the drafting price for minor
league players
A committee from the national association
left here last night to confer today with the
committee at Cincinnati on the drafting matter,
but the conference will consume only enough
time for the commission to tell the minor league
committee that all negotiations for increased
drafting prices are off until another member of
the national board is named in Grinos place.
When President Johnson of the American
league recently agreed In New York to join
with the National league In complying with the
minors request for higher drafting price, 1t
was done with the understanding between him
and Chairman Hermann of the commission thai
only parties agreeable to the commission should
be named on the minors board OF directors
Grille is not acceptable to Johnson, and there
fore the minors will not be allowed the increase
in the drafting price until someone else Il
named In the Toledoan's stead. I. j. Bryce o.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 11.-President Eliot
Of Harvard says Of the measures suggested by
the graduate committee Of Harvard for improv-
ing football: The suggestions Of the graduate
committee are entirely inadequate. The rules
are hopeless"
1t was learned today that at yesterdays secret
meeting Of the Harvard overseers statement
from President Eliot on the question of football
was considered. In 1t President Eliot scored the
conditions under which the game Is played.
President Eliot pointed out to the overseers
that they should take some action in this con-
nection. In the discussion 1t is understood the
overseers were divided between the radical sug-
gestions of President Eliot and the more liberal
attitude of President Roosevelt. and in COM
munication sent to the athletic committee the
overseers favored SO thoro change in the rules
as to abolish practically all Of the worst features
of the game. The overseers also favored more
general participation of the student body in
athletics at Harvard.
= Strong hopes were expressed that Yale could
be induced to join with Harvard and other COL
leges in the movement for reform.

CORBETT AND HERRERA
FINISHING UP WORK.
Journal Special Service.

Los Angeles. CAL, Jan. 11.--Eager gamblers
who could not wait few days before placing
their money, commenced betting today on the
Corbett-Herrera fight, which comes of Friday
night. Two good wagers were made and the pre-
vailing figure was even money.
Corbett who has switched his style OF
training, was busting the road out to the race
track again this morning. He set stir pace
over the highways and kept his trainers on the
move from the time the party left the Corbett
cottage until they returned.
In the afternoon the poor aides again got the
short end Of 1t. Corbett started in by roughing
It for full quarter of an hour with Dave
Barry, and then Saginaw Dick, newcomer in
this part OF the country held Corbett by the legs
while the DenVerite went thru his back stretch
ing exercise. After this, Barry came into the
limelight again and was pummeled around the
ring for four speedy rounds.
Herrera is not working hard, for the weight
question is an easy one to solve with him. The
Mexican has cut out the hard work for good,
and from now on will do nothing but light gym
nasium stunts. He is in grand condition, and
II he loses cannot claim that he was not in per-
feet trim. Ever since he fought Eddie Hanlon
here in November, Herrera has been slowly
working to get himself ready for the fight with
Young Corbett, and his careful, systematic train,
ing is showing in his daily workouts. He is
able to box any number of rounds with his train.

Chicago, Jan. 11--Presidents Comiskey and
Murphy Of the local major league clubs had a
brief conference yesterday afternoon over the
latters proposition to permit the Indianapolis
club of the American association to play Sun
day dates on the West and South Side grounds
in this city when either major league team Is
not scheduled at home.
The Indianapolis club is the only American
association team which cannot play Sunday
games at home, and it was suggested by Presi-
dent Murphy to Owner Watkins of the boosters
that his club be scheduled for Sunday games
like the other clubs and play them off in Chi
cago. 1t would be possible for Indianapolis to
play on Sundays the West Side while the
Nationals were away without cutting into the
patronage of the South Side games on the same
days, and the same would be true of the South
Side when the whitesox were away on Sundays
and the Nationals were at home.
President Comiskey approved of the idea but
it was decided not to make any final decision
at present. The whitesox owner desired to ask
formal permission from the other clubs Of the
American league before undertaking such an
innovation, and President Murphy is to confer
with the National league owners for the same
purpose. 1t was stated no objection was antici-
pated, but that by securing formal approval of
the other clubs no chance would remain for
individual protests later on.

Chicago. JAM 1.-THE threatened bolt Of the
Glass leagues OF the National Association OF
Professional Baseball Leagues did not material

held meeting. but no decisive action was taken
beyond the election of officers for the coming

The meeting was attended only by the more
radical faction of the class, and manyrof the
members were willing to admit that they had
been soundly thrashed, but said that they would
take their medicine as best they could and come
back next year and try to make up some OF the
ground lost at the recent meeting. There were
decided splits In three of the Class A leagues,
and with atfai1s in that shape, concerted action

OF directors, George Iebeau of the Western
league r. ]. Bryce Of the American association,
and W. L. Long Of the Pacific league.
While no definite action was taken, the gen.
sral opinion Of those present was that the
Glass A leagues had received bad deal and
that they should not stand Tor It, There was
some talk concerning the organization of an
other body composed of those of the Class
leagues that were willing to bolt. :,
The cooler heads refused to consider the above
plan, as they said that If the body bolted from
the National association there would be small
chance Of its being taken in under the national
agreement. .-->.N7 ..& ~ E
The matter was merely discussed, no vote be

present and the apparent determination Of some
of the leagues to stick by the National associa

officers.
