PROMOTERS
WANT BOUT ON ISLAND

Pittsburg, Nov. 23.-Pittsburg wants the
big Jeffries-JohnsOn fight and will put
up 100000 for the same.
In addition to this a certain coterie Of
sports and politicians have about decided
that they can assure the big fellows that
they can pull the fight off in the Pitts
burg district, even though there is a
penal law against prize fighting, not even
permitting a decision in q siX-rOund bout,
to say nothing Of not permitting a finish
fight.
The politicians and sports, headed by
NJ J. Connolley, known better as Buck
Cornelius throughout the sporting world,
have selected an island in the middle OF
the Ohio river, about fifty miles below
Pittsburg, which is admittedly the prop
erty of neither Pennsylvania, Ohio or
West Virginia. though the three states
meet at this point on the river. There
have been many finish fights pulled off
there in the past ten years, and at no
time have the government authorities in
terfered, it being understood that an
opinion from Washington CLEANED some
years ago was in effect that the govern
ment had nothing to do with this island
and that the three states should get to-
gether and decide who owned it.

EASTERN FIGHT FANS
STAND BY JEFFR|ES
Say That Big Fellow Is in Fine Shape
and Has Right to Easy
Money,

New York, Nov. 23.-Out west they are
setting up an awful roar about Jeff and
his theatricals. The main cause of the
commOtion is that Jeff ordered from his
official glovemaker, Sol Levinson of San
francisco, complete set of stage maui
ers,' together with bags and other ap-
paratus. LevinsOn has made all the
gloves Jeff has used in his career, with a
few exceptions. He knows all of Jeff
Whims, and Jeff is a crank when IL comes
TO his hand upholstery. jeff in his latest
order, was particular about getting the
gloves big enough, and Levtnson set about
making twelve-ouncers.
The sporting writers do not fancy Jeff
sudden desire to occupy the limelight.
They are saying as many unkind things
about big Jim as they did when he first
started from California with his wait
a month or so and I'll tell you whether
| am fit to fight or not" They say that
Jeff can't be on the level with the public
lights telling people what he intends
to do.
It is almost certain that IL Jeff hfked
away to the hills now. he'd just natur-
ally work his big woOlly head off. The
westerners haven't the faintest idea of
the great physical change that has come
over Jeff. He's not the rotund pub"
keeper that left the Golden Gate a few
months ago. He drew himself up to his
full height in the dressing room of the
Plaza a few nights ago and remarked:
Some change in this condition, boys.
Just few more months and I'll be like
my old self"
Outwardly all that Jeff claimed
seemed to be true. There was just the
faint sign Of a stomach. The muscles Of
his shoulders were punched and his eye
sparkled with health and strength. Jeff
seemed quietly determined and anxious
70 have the time Of battle near. There
is a long gap before the two great
heavies of the ring. and certainly Jeff
shouldn't be censured for making hay
while the sun shines

What's What in Sports
All the Time
KARP GIVES Def
TO MIKE YOKEL
Issues Liberal Challenge for
Wrestling Bout-TWo
Good Men.

81 hereby wish to extend my challenge
to Mike Yokel for a wrestling match to
be held in Salt Lake City or elsewhere
at weights from las to 155 pounds as Yo-
kei may dictate, catch-as-catch-can or
any other style, best two in three falls,
pin falls or flying falls to count, gate re-
ceipts divided as YOkel may wish. Ihls
challenge goes for any one in the country
between the weights named, but Yokel
preferred. STANLEY Karp.
The above challenge was issued by stan
ley Karp, the well-known wrestler last
night Karp stated that for more than
three months he hes been in Salt Lake
with the hopes of a match with Yokel,
and that, as his challenge indicated he
was willing to agree to any reasonable
terms Yokel may wish.
Il am sure 1 can throw Yokel," karp
continued. Il do not underestimate his
ability for minute and l know that II
will take some time. Just how much l
don't know, but I will go on the mat
prepared to stay ten hours if necessary.
One thing L am sure of and that Is Ho-
KEEL cannot throw me. l want this matcn
especially to show the people of Salt
Lake that 1 can wrestle under proper
conditions"
Karp, admitted to be one of the first
four welterweights in the country today
has appeared once in Salt Lake-at tfs
time of the unsatisfactory match with
julius Johnson. 1t will be remembered
that after an hours wrestling Karp
stopped the match, a fact that johnson
sons greeced body, a fact that Johnson
himself admitted. At the time a large
per cent of the house thought Karp VIZ
in the wrong, but since that time, as he
has made friends in Salt Lake, the fans
say that they had their moneys worth
and Karp was not to blame.
One thing is assured, a Yokel-Karp
match at l45 or 14S pounds would be a
rafting fast exhibition and a packed
house could be counted on. Yokel is
known to want a match with Karp. P. c.
Gee is Karp's manager.

AFTER THE BUTTE HIGH.
Granite Eleven Leaves to Tackle Mon
tana Champions-Hard
Game Expected.

With a rousing sendoff from the stu
dents of the school the Granite High
school football eleven and Coach Mauss
left yesterday afternoon for Butte, where
on Thursday afternoon Granite meets the
crack Butte High school eleven. Coach
Mauss announced before leaving that his
men were in the best of shape and that
Granite would do its best to return with
a victory over the Montana scholastic
champions.
The team is much weakened, however,
by the absence from the back field of
Ashton, a High school veteran who
stands easily as good as any backfield
in the state. Ashton was injured in the
Salt Lake High school game and has not
been able to get in the play again.
Butte is known to have q heavy eleven
and also a lack of eligibility rules-a fact
that called off negotiations between the
Salt Lake High school and Butte. Gran
lite, however, figures to even up with
fast open play and some trick forma-
tons on which much work has been put
in during the past two weeks.

LOGAN AGG|ES TO
GIVE HARD GAME
U. of u. Faculty and Injuries
Cause Worry in Utah
Camp.

Yesterday the chances for Utah to win
the Thanksgiving game from the Agricul-
tural college received another body blow
When word from the faculty said that
sehWeitzer, the crack freshman halfbaok,
would not be allowed to play. This,
coupled with the injury which will keep
Loeu out of the game, gives the student
body ground for worry
The Aggies arrive in town today and
all advance information carries the report
that the Logan crowd is in the best of
condition. That Logan may spring a sur
prise and that Utah's handicap will make
the game a tough one is realized by the
football followers in general.
After the first defeat the game was
looked upon as easy for the University,
but now fair day will see beyond doubt
the real thing in Thanksgiving football
crowds
Schweitzer's case came under the rul-
ing that students not up in their work
Nov. would not be allowed to play foot
Dan until the work was made up.
Monday afternoon SchWeitzer received
a statement from all Of his professors to
the effect that he was up an all his
work.
Faculty Says No.
At the meeting of the University fac
ulty held Monday night the question as
to whether or not he would be allowed
to play was brought up for considera-
ton. At this time some of the profess
SOIS stated Indt Sc0WeitZ6r was a tramp
athlete and that he intended to quit the
University directly after the close Of the
football season. They argued that such
a man should not be allowed to play. AS
Sehweitzer was not present to defend
himself, he was declared ineligible and
will not be permitted to play in the
Thanksgiving game. Tuesday afternoon
Sweitzer stated that he fully intended to
stay with the University of Utah until
the end of the present year and also to
complete his work here.
Coach Joe Maddox stated Tuesday that
he could see no good reason why Schweit-
ger should not be allowed to play, but
that since the faculty had ruled as it had,
he guessed that the ruling would have
to stand

STRIKE QUESTION HARD
ONE SAYS HEYDLER

New York. Nov. 23.-John II. Heydler.
president of the National league, is of
the opinion that a solution has not yet
been reached in regard to the spikes
worn by baseball players. This will be
one of the most important matters to be
considered by the joint commission on
rules at the meeting here next month.
For fast game of ball Heydler declares
spikes are necessary. He also believes
the provision prohibiting players from
sliding into a base feet-first is impracti-
cable.
Some other solution is necessary -
said President Heydler IF we do away
with spikes the game will necessarily be
slow and if we make players slide head
first into base. more of them will be in
Jured than if they slide feet-first But
the many injuries through spil1ing leces-

MORAN QUITS---CLARKE
TO HAVE LANKY MAC

won the six-day bicycle race last year
with Floyd Mcfarland, viii not be among
those present when the pistol is fired at
midnight December 5. Moran was ready
to undertake the long grind another year,
but he had such exalted ideas of his
worth that Promoter Pat Powers was not
willing to accept Mcfarland and Jackie
Clarke have been teamed to make up the
loss of Moran. Eddie Root, who kicked
himself out of the race by similar meth
DDS two years ago, is slated to make an
other try with his old partner, Joe Fog
Ter. as a mate.
The odd part of the situation is that
Moran became a promoter himself at the
Vailsburg course during the summer. The
change from rider to capitalist worked
remarkable metamorphOsis. Jimmy was
all austerity and sternness personified.
Riders got short shrift from him on all
questions in dispute.

RINGERS SAID TO Be
RACING IN OKLAHOMA
Lexington Trainers Believe Two Fast
Ones Have Changed
Names.

Lexington, KY, Nov. Z.-Horsemen
here are greatly interested in the efforts
being made to properly identify the two
horses in Oklahoma that are believed to
be ringers, and since the pacing mare
Symbol Maid was identified recently by
Mike Bowerman as Mary Laidley, it is the
consensus of opinion among the local
horsemen that the bay belding that has
been trotting under the name of New
State is none other than the noted geld
ing Rush, 2:141k, who was raced by Tom
Price of this city during the season of
1907 with much success, he having taken
his record at Nashville, Tenn, on Sep
TENDER "a of that year.
The fact that both horses were pur-
chased by the same parties at the Chi
cagO sale, and that one of them has been
positively identified by her former owner
and trainer as Mary Laidley, has led the
hOrsemen to the belief that Rush is the
other horse suspected of being a ringer.
At the close of the campaign Of 1907 Price
sold Rush to Robert S. Strader Of this
city, and the latter consigned him to the
Chicago sales, and while neither Price nor
Strader has been called on to go to Pauls
Valley, Ok, to try and identify the geld
ing, both are of the opinion that New
State and Rush are one and the sam2
horse, from the published description Of
the horse
