THIRD MAN IN THE RING IN THE BIG FIGHT?

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. "a
"He knows the game and he's
honest"
That's how the San Francisco
fight fan epitomizes the virtues of
Jack Welsh, the man most talked
of for the honor of refereeing the
fight between Jim Jeffries and
Jack Johnson. And to back up his
statement he can pull the book on
You and show you that his. esti-
mate of Welsh is correct to. T.
1t can honestly be said of Welsh
that not once has a decision of his
been seriously disputed, the
breath Of scandal has never touch
ed his name, and, above all, he
knows when 1t is time to stop a
fight to save boxer needless
punishment.
Welsh has been connected with
the. fight game ever since he was
knee high to duck. He took to
boxing early in life and though
physically fitted and clever enough
to give the best of the gloyemen
at that time a close brush for
their laurels. he never fought for
q purse. combining his activities to
the amateur ranks.
The first fight Welsh refereed
was the battle between Dial
Hawkins and Joe Cans. His good
work on that occasion won instant
recognition for him and since that
time he has been the third man in
the ring in many of the most i'm
portant battles fought on this side
of the Rockies. He was the ar
bitrator in the Ketchel-Johnson
quarrel. and his last appearance
in the ring was when Dannie
Webster and Monte Attell fought.
Other important ring engage
lnents refereed by him were the
first Papke-Ketchel fight in San
Francisco. the last Gans-Nclson,
Attell-Moran, Cans alcott. Geo.
Dixon-DaI Hawkins, Joe Wolcott-

SCENE IN JIM CoFFRoTH's

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ga
Despite denials by Tex Ricard and
Jack Gleason that t he Jeffries-
Johnson fight will not take place
in Jim Coffroth's .Colma arena,
the famous Sunshine" fight pa
vilion just across the county line
from San Francisco, there is a
well-defined belief that as soon as
the promotes of the big mill ar
rive at the conclusion that the
public has forgotten the details of
that secret meeting, negotiations
for renting the arena will be re-
opened. Gleason claims to have
a site in Alameda county on which
to erect an area, and his better
judgment will tell him that by
taking the Coffroth place he not
only will save himself and Rick
ard about 1000, but he will
greatly convenience the many
thousand fight enthusiasts on the
Frisco side of the bay.
More great battles have been
fought in the Sunshine arena
than in any other open-air pavilion
ever constructed, and probably, in
an inclosed structure for that
matter. barring the old Mechanics
pavilion, which was destroyed by
the fire of ADriI 1900
The ring was given its baptism

ALL RECORDS SMASHED FOR
TRADE TODAY-VEGETA
STANDS ARE STRIPPED.

Today undoubtedly broke all
records in the sale of poultry and
meat. While there was an un-
usually large supply of all kinds
of poultry this morning, the mar
kets were almost stripped this af-
ternoon. Turkeys are practically
off the market this afternoon.
The supply was about ON the
average and the price is 35 cents
a pound, but they all went. Geese
have been selling at 25, ducks at
2S and chickens at 22 and the
amount of business in this line
has been tremendous.
AT the public market the move
1asnt has been brisk all day.
Many of the stands which were
piled high with fruit and vegeta-
bles this morning were almost
bare this afternoon.

TOSSED BY ANGRY BULL

Engineer Jim Nolan. OF extra east
bound Denver & Rio Grande freight
train No. 1928, had an adventure with
an enraged bull at the Burnito stock
yards, near the entrance to the Royal
Gorge, shortly after 9 o'clock this
morning that came near costing him
his life. But for the timely arrival OF a
rescue party OF his friends the unfor-
tunate man would, undoubtedly, have
been killed: as 1t was he escaped with
nothing more than a few bruises.
AS the engine on which Mr.. Nolan
was riding emerged from the canon he
noticed number OF cattle standing
on the track near the loading pens at
Burnito. half mile or so ahead OF
him, and at once applied the brakes
to the locomotive to avoid running
Into them with the consequent danger
OF ditchlng his train. Coming to a
standstlll hundred yards or more
away from the pens Mr.. Nolan got
down from his engine to drive away a
big bull which stood squarely upon
the track, challenging the right Of
the train to proceed. One OF the fore
legs Of the bull had been broken In
some way and he was In a very bell
cose and belligerent condition, a fact,
not realized by Mr.. Nolan until It was
too late.
Instead Of being frightened from the
track the bull became the aggressor
and charged the engineer with all OF
the fury Of an African buffalo. Despite
III broken leg the bull overlook Mr..
Nolan and tossed him into the air up
on :he points OF its horns, later goring
him in the side and chest. Mr.. Nolan
was unable to get up and lay upon the
ground In a helpless manner, receIv-
ing every few seconds prod from
the sharp horns OF the bull, which
stood over him In the most threaten
Ing and dangerous attitude.
Seeing the peril that Mr.. Nolan was
In a relief party under the leadership
of Conductor Shoemaker hastened to
his assistance. and none too soon as
the unfortunate man was In an ugly
situation and likely to receive at any
time death wound from the great
brute that had him down upon his
back. The bull refused % retreat
when Mr.. Shoemaker and companions
came upon the scene and they were
compelled TO shoot him down, six bull
let's being required before vital
spot was reached. The last shot pene-
trated the heart and the bull fell dead
beside Mr.. Nolan. who. happily, was
more scared than hurt.
Mr.. Nolan's face was covered with
blood and CRIME when he reached here
as result of his encounter and he
was stiff and sore In every bone and
Joint in his body. II was an experience
that he would not repeat for thou
sand dollars and take the chances OF
n fatal termination. The bull be-
