MORE TIME FOR sQUIREs.
The Australian Not Yet Accustomed to
the American Climate.

San Francisco. May 1.-THE fight
for the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship between Tommy Burns and
Australian Bill Squires, which was set
for May 80 at CoIma. has been post
poned until July 4. The postponement
will give Squires a greater oppor-
tunity TO become thoroughly accli-
mated and to fit himself for the battle
and will probably serve to increase in
terest in the contest
Burns is still at Los Angeles but
has announced his intention of leaving
there Saturday for Frisco, and then
begin training for the coming struggle.
He will post his forfeit of $4,000 on his
arrival here. This will go as a side
bet if the conditions of the fight are
carried out entirely
An interesting and altogether new
feature of the coming battle is the pos
sibiIity that Squires may become
champion without ever meeting JEFF
fries The great heavyweight has gone
squareIy on record as willing to box
the Australian. but he adds that he
must know that his long retireme nt
has not affected his fighting ability
He will never fight Burns, however.
Jefries said today that he would
undergo at least three months Of trail
training before he signed up with
Squires, and that if he discovered it
was impossible to bring himself to the
proper notch in the matter OF condf-
ton he would allow SQuireS to sail
away unchal1enged-
Jeffries returns to Los Angeles to-
day. but will come north again week
or two before July 4, and will visit
both Sduires and Tommy Burns al
their training quarters.
II want to have a thorough under
standing with them as to the way they
are to fight" said JeHries- Il don't
believe in leaving these things until

at a Boston club about the wonders Of

"There was an old alderman rowing
IN his boat one day when nD automo-

aTo the indignation OF the canoes
occupants the old man paid no heed to
them. but rowed calmly on his way,
pulling an old clay pipe.
However. the wrecked canocists

The wheat markets yesterday
suffered another slump of large
proportions, Liverpool and Chi
cago both showing losses of more
than three cents per bushel. So
long as the market continues to
be the football for two opposing
factions Of spectators, it will be
difficult to determine just what
prices are warranted by the an
cient law Of supply and demand.
The world is undoubtedly facing
a short crop, and there is a pos
sibility that the carry-over sup.
plies from the preceding large
crop win not be sufficient to make
up the deficiency. This prov
ing true; present prices
and perhaps still higher prices
are warranted, both at home
and abroad. There is.nothing II
legitimate conditions, however
that warrants a decline Of three
cents in one day, followed by al
advance Of equal proportions
twenty-four hours later. Hys
terical speculation is at presen
the most important factor il
