Los Angeles, Dec. thames ]. JEFF

here Tuesday His name reaped three
votes for mayor, almost a stampede in
fact His candidacy was not announced
before the election. but this did not
prevent the cunning of his supporters
They gathered at the polls early, and

1t was noticed that all three enter

CLARKE AND WAGNER
NOT IN PIRATE FOLD
Leader of Champions, How
ever, Intimates Hans and
Himself VIII Sign.

Fred Clarke, the unsigned manager
of the worlds champion Pirates, is in
Chicago. He arrived there last night
from Springfield Kan, and will leave
this afternoon on the Twentieth Cen
fury Limited for New York, where he
will confer with Barney Dreyfuss,
owner Of ME Pirates. Although Clarke
has not attached his name to contract
for 1910. he does not anticipate any
trouble with his boss.
The manager OF the champions brings
the valuable information that Honus
Wagner, star of stars. has not signed,
either. Clarke did not say positively
whether the big German would zen
his name to the "poipers' or not, but
left the impression that he would. In
answer to the question of the spring
training quarters Of the champions,
Clarke said: III don't know just where
they will go. but l think it's pipe that
California will not be the favored spot
Furthermore, let me say that I do not
take any stock in the report that Tom
my Leach will manage the PhiHies"
What is most interesting Clarke right
now is his canvass covering for a dia-
mond in case of rain. Clarke is the big
inventor and intends to get all the ma
jor league owners to purchase one of
the coverings at the league meeting
in New York next week.
Three clubs posses the coverings
now" said Clarke "They are Pitts
burg, Cleveland and Cincinnati I am
communicating with several UNIVERSE
ties. as the coverings would be hot
stuff for football fields. 1t is a per-
feet protection against rain. 1t is $50
/ feet square, and is made of parafine
duck canvass. The total weight is TO-
600 pounds.
1T can be rolled UP in no time and
it takes only five minutes to spread
it out. 1t covers the entire skinned
diamond and the base lines"

AFTER BIG BOUT
Business Men to Ask Per
mission of Governor.

A copy of the Lake County Demo-
crat reached the governors Office yes
terday in which it was published that
Gary was ready with certified check
for $4,000 to be bid for the Jeffries-
Johnson fight for the heavyweight
championship of the world, and in
which it was further published that a
committee of Gary and other Lake
county business men would shortly
wait on the governor in an effort to
obtain his permission for the fight to
be pulled off on Indiana SOIL it be-
ing added that the business men
thought they could present the matter
to the governor in such a way as to
obtain his consent"
The governor declined to make any
comment on the question at this time,
as it had not reached him regularly.
It is thought. however, that in the
light of the governors attitude toward
prize fights since he assumed Office. he
will not likely make an exception Of

Johnson Sizes Up Jeffries,
Contest to go u Rounds
ColOred Fighter Says Big Bolemakr Will Be Unable Land
Very Easily and Speed Will Decide Bout

New York, Dec. 11.-That Jack John
son expects to stick with James J. JEFF
fries for at least twelve rounds IN the
battle for the championship o. the
world July 4 the colored champion has
made known to his friends. He also
believes that after he has led the re-
tired title holder for a dozen merry
rounds he viii be}abIe to finish the big
boilermaker, but even If he shouldn't be
able to turn the trick he will string his
money that he viii last at least twelve
rounds. The black made this known
to number of friends while taking in
the six-day race at Madison Square
Garden, and as a consequence the odds
on this proposition are likely to be
pretty slim on the day of the battle.
Any one that says we are going to
fake the fight on account of the NOV
ing pictures is on the wrong lay" that's
all" was the way the champion intro-
duced the subject Everybody I have
met has asked me whether or not the
fight will drag out ten or twelve
rounds on account of the pictures. Well
you can just bet that the fight will last
that long. but not because it has been
fixed or will be fixed that way
Il know what am going up against,
and I am not foolish enough to think
that I can go in and knock out JEFF
fries in the first round or two. 1 am
equally positive that he can't turn the
trick on me, and that is why I say
that the fight won't be over inside OF
twelve rounds No man living can get
to me in that number of rounds, and ]
an not making any secret of the fact
that I don't believe that Jeffries car
put me away in that time
Now here is the proposition. JEFF
fries thinks he can get me in corner
and knock my block off right after the
tap of the gong. Well, all I can say
is that he will have fine time doing

it Don't you thing that I can keep
out of his way that long. even if 1
don't knock him out myself? The way
I figure it is that after the twelve
rounds or so are over Jeffries viii be
so tired that can go in and finish him
at will. I will bet quite a chunk that
is the way 1t will come out
Don't risk any money that he will
get an. early knockout. for there isn't
a chance in the world. 1 know what
Jeffries expects to do. He intends to
rush and bore in from the tap Of the
gong. bearing me down by sheer
weight. Well, he'll get tired Of that, all
right. He can rush as much as he
pleases, but it viii be shadow boxing
for him, and. besides, expect 70 get
in a jab or two when he isn't looking,
The fact that the colored champion
was so free with his plan makes the
fight followers a little suspicious, and
it seems to bear out the reiterated
statement that on account Of the pic
lures the fight will be carried along
for quite number of rounds. john
son may be sincere in his statement
about his plans. but it sounded as if ii
had been rehearsed for the occasion
simply as a means Of putting the soft
pedal on the plans agreed to between
the interested parties.
Whether ne IS sincere or not in his
announced plans for the clash, others
figure that, even # it should not be
fixed up in advance. the scheme looks
feasible. Very few believe that JEFF
fries will be able to get TO the slippery
Ethiopian early in the fight, and the
twelve rounds look reasonable enough
The chances are that the biggest par
of the money bet on the fight will b.
risked on the number Of rounds, and
the plunges will probably be made tina
Johnson will last all the way from ter
to fifteen rounds.

for the Contest.

The Gary high school basket ball
team will open up their 1S09-1910 sea-
son on next Friday night at the Wash
ington skating rink, which has been
engaged for the basketball season. Al
though it has not been definitely de-
cided, 1t is thought that the first game
will be played with the Whiting high
school
Captain Bowlby and his candidates
for the team have been practicing each
evening under the direction Of Coach
Netherton and are fast rounding into
shape. The team showed some very
clever team work and they expect to
make a record for themselves this
season. The girls high school team
has also had considerable practice and
will be able to make up their sched-
ule in a few days.
Probably no city in the state has a
finer hall in which to play basket ball
than has the home team at the Wash

Vanoni and Anderson Gain
Lap by Spectacular
Sprint.
MIDNIGHT STANDING d2O HoURs).

New York, Dec. 10.-The close of the
fifth day OF the six-day bicycle grind
found the four leading teams riding
around principally to prevent second
division members from gaining the
necessary lap and Emil Georget making
frantic efforts to get UP with the lead
ers.
There is no chance of the records be-
ing equaled. Spirits have killed all
the ambition of the riders and the lead
ers are reserving themselves for the
final dash
wild dash at s:4O o'clock by An
derson and vanoni to regain a lap
proved futile. They had an advantage
of half a lap when Rutt went out and
stole the lead and came near gaining a
lap for himself and Clark
The Georget team lost a lap in a
general scramble. Anderson and Van
oni made another attempt at 1905 and
regained the lost lap by the cleverest
strategy displayed so far Anderson
started the sprint. He sneaked away
and opened up such gap that his riv-
ais were dazed. Instead of following
him the field, under the leadership of
Jack Clark, kept moving around slowly
and before they had gone five laps
Anderson and Vanoni were in the bunch.
1t was done simply and cleverly and so
quickly that the crowd could hardly
understand it.
Fred w. West, the unluckiest man in
the race. and joe Fogler, took a fall
at $50. but no one was injured. West
has met with more trouble than all
the bunch. His forehead is plastered
like a football field and his entire body
is bruised. He says if he gets away
with his life he will consider himself
lucky. George Cameron. who retired
yesterday, says Rutt and Clark are
sure to be first under the wire
