NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The lure of
the footlights and It's attendant re-
munerations has induced James j. JEFF
fries to change his mind about retiring
to the California mountains for eight
or nine months of hard training for
his fight with Jack Johnson, and his
manager, Sam Berger, announces that
he will tour the country to meet all
comers. Since the signing of articles
in this city last week, Jeffries has
received offers of many thousands OF
dollars for Ground bouts in Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg. He has also re-
ueiyed offers from various theatrical
managers, some of whom have men
toned definite salaries which would
tempt a grand opera star.
But it is said that Jeffries VIII Or
ganize his own theatrical troupe.
The principal part of the performance
will be an athletic show, in which JEFF
fries will offer each night to fight any
two men who wish to meet him, singly
Berger stated that this show viii
probably be started after Jeffries has
accepted the Philadelphia and Pitts
burg offers, which will follow the open
ing of bids in this city to determine
where the big fight will be held.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Division 3 of Los Angeles County
ORGANIZATION Now Divided Into
Eastern and Western
Divisions

Although many games of basketball
have already been played between the
teams of the various Southern Califor-
MIA high schools. the regular schedule
for the Suburban league will not be-
gin before December l. The league,
while known as the Suburban league,
Is in reality division b of the Los An
geles County Athletic league, and Will,
in future, be known as SUCH The
schedule will not be complete before
the middle of the month.
Secretary George w. Hursey of Co
vina announces that the schools of the
league have been divided into eastern

seasons schedule will be practically
reversed. The teams going away from
home last season will meet their OPP
ponents this year on their own courts.

eastern division, while Downey, Glen

ers. Compton will have no boys gum

good in the last contest by his speed

Pomona by stopping Whittier man

FOREIGNERS AFTER
AMERICAN TROTTERS
Rush of sportsmen from Abroad to
Buy Animals for Shipment Begins
Earlier Than Usual

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The rush of
foreigners to buy trotting horses De
gan early this year and prospects are
that at the end of the year more hlgh
class trotting bred horses will be SNIP
ped abroad than ever in the history OF
cur horse export. 49,,
Heretofore foreigners as a rule did
not show up until Lexington meeting
was opened, but this year they were at
syracuse and Columbus looking over
such horses as would answer thelE
purposes for racing and breeding.
Italian horsemen were here earlier
than others, but Austrians soon 'tol-
lowed them, as did also Russians, ana
others. The former after looking over
several of the seasons best trotters
found prices too high to decide on any
purchases and left Lexington for New
York. leaving a commission with the
veteran horseman John Splan to buy
for them anything he thought good
enough for racing or breeding.
Five horses which were bought for
export are Franlet McGregor, bay
mare, by Robert McGregor-Franlet by
Epaulet; Janice Clemons, roam mare,
by Jay Bird-Actress T. by Axtell, ana
Ida Prodgal bay mare, Prodisal-lda
Conquest by Sternberg. These We're
purchased for Oreste Caleri and Guis-
seppe Lama Of Bolonga.
Sig Lama bought the trotter Wdru'
2:1O1a, by Baron Richford, and the g.
year-old roam colt Tramp Senator, by
The Tramp-Lottie Coke by Senator
Coke. Only the last named is'intended
for racing.
SO far the Austrian trotting horse
buyers have not been as active as they
usually are, for at the close of the re-
cent Lexington meeting they had
bought only two trotters, Judge Lee,
Whitensville, Mass, and the good mare
FL Victress from Homer Crane, of Chi
cago.
They have shown, however. their
readiness of paying higher prices for
first-class animals than other foreign
buyers, as they paid $4,000 for Judge
Lee and $4,000 for FL Victress, both
high-class racing prospects as well as
the right material for breeding pur-
poses after their racing days are over.
other foreign buyers, have not been
heard of yet, but a majority of them
are now in Lexington looking over the
field and will soon be in this city to
compete with buyers at the Madison
Square Garden sale

YALE PICKED TO WIN
BIG FOOTBALL TITLE
Sons of Ell Show Such Strength In
the Early Games That They
Should Have Easy
Sailing

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 2.-one of the
strongest impressions gained by the
gridiron history made last Saturday is
that Yale is going to have pretty plain
sailing toward acquiring undisputed
right to the eastern football cham
pionship this year. Already there are
any number of adherents of the blue
who are anxious to bet even money
that the New Haven eleven will beat
both Princeton and Harvard. From
what is happening down in the lair OF
the Tiger 1t looks as though IL were
all over but the shouting for Yale
when the old-time rivals clash on Mo-
vember 19. At Cambridge, though,
there is a possibility that the crimson
will be able to put up rather sturdy
fight There was a good deal of satis-
faction in the way the crimson line
got together against Brown and STAYED
off a score on it's own one-yard mark
The line has been the problem with
which Percy Haughton has been wrest-
ling all season, and the evidence given
Saturday that 1t is able to show better
power on the defence will undoubted-
ly engender hopes of good things
against Old Eli.
Down at Princeton they say that they
have the finest material in years, yet
the preliminary season has been more
or less disastrous. In practice at Os-
borne Field the Tigers certainly look
as though they should do wonders
against any team, but when ii comes
to a game there is always something
lacking. With the wealth of avail
able men of experience the results up
to date do not speak very we'll for the
new coaches that have taken in charge
the football fortunes of Old Nassau
To an unbiased observer it seems a
case of too many cooks spelling the
broth" A head coach who would rule
things with a rod Of iron, man VINO
can drive his candidates to the limit
is the sort they need down in Prince
ton. 1t is all right to have old gradu-
ates come back and help IN the coach,
ing. but it is hard TO see what good
is done by the casual visitor who
comes down to the football field for :,
couple of days and attempts to instil
bjs ideas into the new players in a
few hours. A one man power usually
produces the better results, Tor q

MAY REVISE FOOTBALL
RULES FOLLOWING DEATH
Accidents at West Point and Annapolis
May Result in Drastic Action
When Committee Meets

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.--Football en-
thusiasts believe that, as a result Of
the death of Cadet Bryne of West
Point and the dangerous injury Of Mid
shipman Wilson Of Annapolis, the col
lege football conference association will
eliminate certain dangerous features
of the present game when ii meets in
this city next month to revise the rules.
While those who have advocated the
adoption Of soccer football In place of
the American game have not received
any great amount Of encouragement,
there seems to be, according to dis
patches from the various institutions,
a desire on the part of the heads of
colleges, trainers and coaches, to so
amend the present rules that there will
be more open play in the game and
absolutly no mass plays.
