and simply wanted :. purse of the
proper dimensions.
Il think the mat n is clinched now
and that the sporting world will see
johnson and Jeffries in action late this
summer. We hope to fix the date for
July or early in September.
"Our plan is that the men fight with
four-ounc gloves to finish. The fight
will be pulled off either in Hillman
City or Boston Harbor. both of which
are near Seattle. With the immense
throngs that will be in attendance at
the Alaska Yukon exposition, we can
get together the greatest crowd in the
history of pugilism. We want the fight
in Seattle and we are going to have
it.
Though we have not had anything
direct from Jack Johnson, 1t is almost
certainty that he will meet Jeffries
with that amount of money In sight"
Hillman is said to be one OF the
richest men in Eeattle He owns con-
siderable business property in Seattle
proper and controls thousands Of acres
of land all around. He is also big
ship owner. He has also a notion Of
matching Ketchel and Langford.

Big Dog SHOW IN
MPL'S APRIL {

Minneapolis, April 5.--The dog show
planed by the Minneapolis Kennel club
Tor the spring has been postponed and
will probably not be held until late
In the summer or early in the fall,
Plans originally made could not be
carried TO contamination this early in
the year, and after due elaboration
members decided to put of the show
rather than to give an unsatisfactory
one on scheduled time.
It has been the intention to give one
OF the higheNt bench shows known to
the west this spring in this city and
plans had been made to this effect, but
for several seasons the time was found
unfavorably and a postponement be-
came necessary. The SHOW. when
given in the fall will probably be even
larger than the one planned for this
spring, and practically all of the ia
nous dogs of the country will be in
attendance.

.LANGFORD'S JOLT
DROPS WILLIE


Philadelphia, Pa, April Sam
Langford, the Boston negro heavy
weight, knocked out John Willee in
the second round of the wind-up at
the National Athletic club last night.
The blow which laid Willee low was a
short right hand punch, which landed
right on the point of Willee's jaw as he
was standing in his own corner. AL
though it travelled only a few inches
the punch was terrific one and it
dropped Willee like log. He fell fiat
on his face and was counted out.
After Referee Jack McGuigan had
counted Willee out, the latter managed
to struggle to his feet again, but he
was still groggy and 1t was some little
time till he fully recovered from his
dazed condition, as he sat in his corr
ner.
The bout was very savage one
while it lasted. The men appeared to
be straining every point and each
landed bows hard enough to have
felled an OK 1t was apparent after
they had been going minute or. so of
the first round, that Langford was
likely to win. He was much quicker
and cleverer as a boxer than Willee
and his punches were clean and hard.

GRIT DISCOVERS
The QUOT BALL

Atlanta. Ca, April 5.-Clark Grifith
has discovered a new style of delivery
that viii be just as much Of puzzler
as the spitball The new tangled de-
livery has been christened the "quoit
ball" 4a-...
Griffith made his first demonstra-
ton with the QUOT BALI with Charley
Sturr doing the receiving. The ia
nous master OF the slow ball has given
this new delivery lot Of study, and
as 1t is something absolutely new, 1t
should prove a sensation.
The quot ball is st-.rted below the
hip. The pitcher takes ding swing,
with the back of his hand towards the
batsman. He throws the ball very
much like man playing quoits losses
the quot but of course. he puts a
twist on it, for the purpose OF fooling
the batter. AS the ball leaves his hand,
Griff puts a bunch of reverse English
on it. and the sphere sails up to the
plate very much like hoop, with the
reverse on it, rolls on the floor.
1T was the funniest kind of a ball
l ever caught" said Sturr after the
demonstration.

San Francisco, CAL, April 5.-Here
is another Jeffries tip, and considering
the wealth and Importance Of the man
who gives 1t out, 1t is one that we
must sit up and take notice of. even II
it proves as unstable as foruler tips of
like character.
1t will be remembered that G. d.
Hillman, the Seattle millionaire, sent
out word from Santa Barbara some
little time ago that he was ready to
give 100000 or more for Jeffries-
Johnson fight At the time Mr.. Hill
man said his bid was made under
certain conditions and Jeffries, who
was appearing at the time at the Wig
wan theatre in this city, showed a
streak OF humor by replying TIL ac-
cept that under certain conditions"
Mr.. TIillman's offer was lost sight Of
for the time being, but now 1t crops up
again. Hillman was in Oakland last
night and a few minutes before he left
for his home city, he said that he had
raised his offer for a Jeffries- Johnson
fight to 100000 with the understand
ing that the winner was to take rs per
cent and the loser % per cent.
JetfrIee willing.
"Tnat offer still stands and IL looks
to me as though Jeffries will accept"
said the Seattle miliionairs man. MY
partner, Jack williams OF Los Ange-
les has wired me that ne had heard
from Jeffries and that the latter prac-
tically accepts the proposition. From
the moment we opened negotiations
with the big Californian we had hopes
OF landing him. He has all along look
ed with favor on the idea OF fighting.

The proposed addition to the thor

of nine miles. The present drive stops
at One Hundred and Fifty eighth

bill authorized in 1905 includes a via
duct 1900 feet long over the deep val

the finishing of the road in asphalt

coarse stone and asphalt mixed togeth-

New York, April 5.-Mike Donlin,
captain and right fielder of the New
York giants, may never play baseball
again. Donlin will probably retire
from the national game permanently,
not because he cannot get $4,000 a
year from the New York club, but for
the reason that mis- health is said to
be failing and that physician has
advised him never again to put on a
uniform.
"A proof that Donlin will not be

WEDNESDAY CLUB ID STAND AGAINST
 GAMBLING
WILL ENLIST INFLUENCE TO HAVE PERFECTED BILL IN
 LEGrsLATURE.

At mass meeting presided over by Mrs G. s. Van Wagenen, and attended by some fifty of the ladies of Globe yes terday, preliminary steps were taken to introduce in the Arizona legislature a bill providing for the suppression of gambling throughout the territory.
 The meeting, which was held in the district court room, was designed pri- marily to organize Woman's club which would eventually absorb the Wednesday Literary club as one of its department, and to this end commit tee of nine, consisting of Mesdames Nave, chairman; Andrus, Anthony, Bandhauer, Miles, Murphy, Shute, Stoneman and French, was appointed by the chair for the purpose of drafting the necessary constitution and bylaws. The organization contemplated will be known as the Woman's club of Globe, branch of the Federation of Women 's clubs of Arizona, which is, itself, part of the national organization. As at first constituted, according to present plans, the club will consist of the literary de partment, now the Wednesday club and civic department which will con slider anything connected with the wei fare of the community. Other depart ments may be added later, their char acter to be determined as the occasion for their formation arises. The clut will also consider the matter of plant | ing trees and flowers about the city the establishment of parks or public playgrounds, or any other matters oi public interest.
 Beyond general discussion of these questions and the appointment of com mittee to draft the constitution and by laws, the only definite action taken b, the meeting was the adoption of reso lution to ask Judge F. s. Nave, wh' will remain at Phoenix until the end oi the month. to prepare bill that would take up the loopholes in the present gambling law, this bill to be presented to Councilman Hunt and AssemblymaI Mccormick of Gila county for introduc tion in the legislature.
 Several addresses were made befor' the meeting and this and other subject discussed, the matter being debated a length, and it was indicated that thu newt step to he taken by the ladie' would be the inauguration of move ment looking to the passage of Sun

WASHINGTON, D. C., January l6.-- Secretary of the Interior Garfield is pre-. pairing notable experiment at the San Carlos Indian reservation, Arizona. There is peculiar stone on tho reserva- tion known as "tufa,' or white ash. When taken from the quarry it can bc cut with knife, but soon hardens when exposed. It is as light as wood and IS in great demand for budding purposes.
 The secrtary has asked congress to set aside three sections of about two thousand acres each for the use of the Indians. There experiments with the stone will be made and an effort be in. augurated to get the Indians at work developing its production. Secretary Garfield expects general demand for 1t in the southwest and that a great industry, which in a large degree will solve the Indian problem in Arizona, can be built up.
