JEFFRIES SIGNS UP. WITH
 JACK JOHNSON ID FIGHT

Chicago August 11.-Articles or agreement for fight between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries for the heavyweight championship of the world were signed here today. The fight is to take place within eight months be- fore the club offering the best induce ments. All bids for the fight are to be inside of 50 days.
 Sam Berger, manager for Jeffries: George Little. Johnson's manager, and Jack Johnson were present at the
 meeting when the articles were signed. Little, however. had nothing to do with
 the arrangement of terms for the big
 fight he having turned the whole af- fair over to Johnson.
 The articles prepared by Jeffries were given Johnson by Berger. After carefully perusing the paper Johnson handed them back to Berger, remark ing as he did so that they were not at all satisfactory to him. He declared
 that he was ready to sign agreements,
 but he wanted to sign an agreement to
 fight" He then outlined what he con-
 sidered would be a satisfactory agree
 ment.
 A warm discussion followed and for a
 time 1t looked as though the meeting
 would be without any results. Berger
 objected to any mention of the purse
 in the articles, but he finally yielded
 this point. Johnson. on the other hand,
 was as equally insistent on the omis- sion from the agreement of all refer
 ence to Jeffries as the heavyweight champion of the world, declaring that his position on this point was ire vocable. He finally won out and all reference to this subject was omitted. The following is the agreement signed by Berger and Johnson: Form of agreement entered into this, August II, 1909, between Jack Johnson of Galveston, Tex, and James J. Jeff fries of Los Angeles, Cal.
 Tt Is agreed mutually between these
 men that they should box a number of
 rounds, the same to be anywhere from | 20 to 100, for the heavyweight cham | pionship of the world.
 Contest to be held before the club offering the best inducements and mu- tually agreed upon by the contestants. Such purse shall be on basis of either SO per cent and 40 per cent to winner and loser, respectively, or 75 | per cent and 25 per cent, or winner l may be permitted to take the entire amount The decision in this matter | to rest with James J. Jeffries. "rhe sum of $5000 each is to be | posted with Charles A. Comfskey of Chicago, as guarantee Of good faith, and the fulfllment by each side of tn e terms of this agreement, said money to be posted within 72 hours It Is fur ther agreed that the above named $5O0c shall operate as a side bet on the re- suit of the contest.

Three Yachts Arrive,

Portland, Me, August 1.-Of 2 racing yachts of the New York Yacht club fleet, which left Vineyard Haven yesterday morning on the run of 152 miles to Cape Elizabeth lightship, but three had arrived at sunset tonight. Besides these there were dozen steam yachts in port. Com modore Arthur Curtiss James announced that the fleet would not proceed east ward until Friday morning and possibly the cruise would end here instead of Bar Harbor, as originally planned. He said that all but five of the craft had been ac- counted for and these would be heard from later.
 The schooner Elmina, owned by Fred erick F. Brewster of New Haven, won the commodore's cup for schooners, being the first of the racers to arrive. She reached the lightship at 9:30 o. m. and entered the harbor at noon. Three hours later the sloop Aurora, owned by Cornelius Wander bilt, came in, the first of her class The auxiliary schooner Intriped followed an hour afterward, but was not in the race, having dropped out shortly after the start.

SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE
Jack Reidy Aoain Stars.

Chattanooga, August 11.-(Special)- Alabama Jack Reidy pulled off a spectac- ular stunt here which caused the crowd to give him an ovation lasting five min utes. Wagner. the Columbia pitcher, hit a line drive to the right field fence. About half way up this fence extends a heavy cross piece running the entire length of the field, on which the wire netting is supported. This cross-piece is fully six feet high. At the crack of the bat Reidy started in the direction of the ball and with his bare hand on the board he swung fully eight feet in the air and speared the ball with his gloved hand Old ball players compared the catch with the one Billy Sunday made many years ago in New Orleans and the one made by Johnny Duffy in center field at the slagpie in Birmingham several years ago when Lew Whistler of Mem phis drove a liner straight to the old centerfield scoreboard and fully 30 feet past where Duffy was standing.
 The Lookouts played a miserable game in the field but Columbia failed to take advantage of her opportunities. The score: R. .H. E. Columbia ................00 600 101 003-5 l Chattanooga ............. GOO 040 11f-6 13 '

BOWLING ALLEYS

 Certain improvements has been made and the alleys present handsome ap- pearance It is probable that the old crowd will show up nightly as former ly, and that the winter sport will be as popular as last season.
 Henry Meek will not manage the alleys this winter. c. F. Henger, con- sidered one of the best bowlers in this part of the country, will have charge. Match games will be arranged once week, and it is probable that the old Southern league of bowlers will be re- organized,

FAIR TREATMENT
 FOR ALL TEAMS

That Birmingham Is treating them all alike was illustrated in the out come of the Birmingham Atlanta and Birmin gh am Nashville series.
 The Barons took two out of three from Atlanta, and then treated Nash vile as badly.
 When Bill Smith was leaving Bir- mingham the other day after dropping a series to the Barons, he stated to director of the association:
 "AI1 I ask is that you will pitch Manuel and Dickson against Nashville. You pitched them against me, and both won. They can turn the trick against Nashville, too"
 No promises were made, but Manuel and Dickson went against Nashville and both won. It Is probable that Bill Smith was delighted last night when the news reached him.

SWIM MFR TRIES TO
 CROSS CHANNEL

Cape Gris Nez France, August 11.-Mon- tagu Holbein, the well-known French long distance swimmer, started out at 5 45 o'clock this afternoon in an endeavor to swim the English channel. Two hours after he took to the water he was lost to view in the haze and up to a late hour tonight no news had been received concerning his progress. Today was Hol- bein's 46th birthday.
 Attempting to swim the English chan mel from Cape Gris Neg to Dover is no new experience for Montagu Holbein. Six times he has essayed the task, but each time his efforts have been fruitless His nearest approach to success was in August, 1903, when he was taken out of the water exhausted about a mile from Dover after having swum for % hours and p minutes.
