given up, but Dietrich was still un-
daunted
For the next few days the aspirant
walked around the Athletic club like
one in trance-he was thinking.
Secures Easy Mark
Yesterday a college boy coming up
the Athletic club stairway, carelessly
swinging a tennis racket, was met at
the top by what he must have thought
a Kansas cyclone.
Dietrich had spied the tennis racket
and made flying Mutt" leap for the
gut stringed instrument that almost
carried the two to the entrance below.
But the Marathoner soon reappeared,
triumphantly flourishing the racket,
and roaring like the Niagara falls in
the spring time for Frank Witt to
meet him in a handball contest for a
side bet of figure that would make
Jeffries and Johnson stagger.
The challenged, considering 1t easy
money, Immediately accepted, and re-
marked confdentially to a friend,
why, it's like taking candy from a
baby"
The two repaired to the courts, fol-
lowed by their admirers and a throng
generally interested, who crowded the
attic bleachers to their utmost ca
pacity.
The game opened with the long dis
tance man serving. Whangl went the
tennis racket, and bingo the ball hit
the wall with a resounding whack,
and taking the English on the rebound,
caught the unprepared Whitton on the
top-knot, from which it rebounded to
the galleryites above, who were doing
doubling up stunts with laughter.
Witt looked dazed, and those who
backed him still claim that this bin
gle on the brainbox was his undoing.
zone point for the ex-school teacher,
roared the judge. BY this time Dietrich
was strutting about like a pouter
pigeon, while Wits lower lip had re-
laXed several degrees.
Again the racket whistled through
the air And whack! The little round
thing struck the wall, rebounding iike
a meteor. Profiting by experience,
Witt cleverly ducked this time and
the ball continued to rebound from
wall to wall until it's energy was
spent.
When the game closed the score
stood 21 to 6 in favor of the Marathon
who has been hanging dog
gedly in the wake of G4ordo Whelan
ever since.

DIETRICH AFTER
HANDBALL TITLE
Tennis Racket Plays Important Part
in Winning Contest - Gordo
Whelan's Title Is in
Jeopardy

Ed Dietrich of Marathon fame, not
satisfied with being crowned the win
ner of the Mount Wilson climb, the
highest point of that mighty peak, has
now entered the list of aspirants for
Gordon Whelan's handball title at the
Los Angeles Athletic club.
Before manifesting his superiority in
the art he made a thorough study of
1T and finally came to the conclusion
that with merely the hands one would
surely be at disadvantage in trying
to attain the highest perfection in the
game. With the hands it was abso-
lutely impossible to english the ball,
which, according to Eds deductions,
was necessary. There was the spiral
punt, why not the spiral handball that
would rebound at angles unexpected?
So the Marathoner tried his ever faith
full feet But after several terrific con-
facts with the floor, resulting from
getting overbalanced when making a
vicious swing at the little round thing
that would have made "Pat" O'Dea
sit up and take notice, this idea was

BASEBALL MAGNATES
TO RUSH BUSINESS
But Two Days Considered Necessary
by President johnson for Trans
acting Weighty Matters

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-President B. B.
Johnson of the American league said
yesterday that at the meeting of base
ball officials in New York business
would be transacted in a hurry.
He said the American league MEM
bers would reach New York December
13 and in the afternoon would mingle
while the National commission is in
session.

FIGHTERS WILL
DIVIDE MONEY
JOHNSON AND JEFFRIES HOLD
PRIVATE CONFERENCE
Reason for Secret Change in Articles
of Agreement Is Latter Made
Combatants Bet to I
on Results

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-The secrecy Of
the meeting of Jeffries, Johnson and
the fight promoters in a Hobol1en hotel
just before announcing the signing of
articles of agreement is now believed
by many sporting authorities to have
been for the purpose Of making a Sec
ond and private agreement, in which
the principals stipulated TO split the
purse of $101 900 evenly. instead of 70
per cent to the winner and rs per cent
to the loser.
The reason ascribed for this secret
change in the articles of agreement
is that at rs and % per cent each con-
testant was betting the other to /
that he would win, while, as a matter
of fact, no such odds prevail now, or
are they expected to be offered.
1t is now considered an even-money
chance.
The night after the bids for the fight
We're opened and the day the Rickard
bid was accepted TEX" Rickard passed
eight hours in Jeffrles' room, but today
the Nevada sporting man denied he
had offered or given Jeffries $40, 900 in
cash to favor his bid. This story was
current on Broadway.

LONG BEACH WINS

LONG BEACH, Dec. 4.-The Long
Beach high school five defeated the
Harvard school quintet on the local
basketball court this afternoon by Il
score of So to 5. The score at the end
of the first half was "a to l. In the
second half the visitors played faster
ball. The local boys showed unex-
pected team work, the ball being
passed across and down the field sys-
tematically and almost without errors.
The Long Beach five used a code of
signals, called by the center. This
was the second league game for the
locals. They won from Throop a week
ago by a score of ~ to 10.

PROMOTER 0REND0RFF MAY
IMPORT CRACK WRESTLERS

Jesse Orendorff, the erstwhile Los
Angeles catcher, has purchased a bill
lard and pool business at Ninth and
Main streets. Orendorff will continue
in his efforts to promote athletic events
in Los Angeles and desires that Young
Hackenschmidt, Eugene Travellers
and many other first-class wrestlers
call on him at his place of business. 1t
is likely that Orendorff will succeed in
inducing several eastern wrestlers to
visit the Angel city in quest of fame
and fortune.

ILLINOIS ATHLETIC CLUB
DlScoURAGES VARIATIONS

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Holding that the
long grinds are too much of a strain
and are injurious to the runners, the
athletic committee and directors of
the Illinois Athletic club have pro-
nounced the doom of the annual Mara
thon of that body, and formal action to
this effect is scheduled for the January
meeting of the officials. This movement
means the end of long distance run
ming for the Illinois Athletic club
and the discouragement of any such
feats by its members.

The athletic management at st. Vim
cents college is in communication with
the Denver university team, who are
the champions of Colorado, to have
that eleven play at Fiesta park on De-
cember IL.
The Coloradoans refused the first
offer made by the Saint officials. but
last evening another was wired that

this date is closed with the mountain
eers, this will be the last big game
to be played in this city this season.

SECOND ELEVEN

Apparently there Is no end to the
making Of all-American football teams
nowadays. Every football critic must
have his fling at what he thinks would
be the ideal team and consequently the
all-American eleven remains each year
a mixture of private opinions with pos
sible one or two positions on which all
agree.
This season the picking of the eleven
stars is harder than ever, as so few
players stand out head and shoulders
above others playing the same posi-
ton. outside of Coy, the Yale cap
tain, 1t might be said that the re-
mainder of those picked in the first
eleven, class but little above those
under the head of the second team.
The ends produced this year are be-
low the average when compared with
Scarlet, the Pennsylvania star of
year ago. Fitzpatrick of Yale while
playing a consistent game throughout
the season, principally made his record
in the Yale Harvard game. But even
in that game he showed slow in get
ting down on punts. Braddock is
chosen as the other end. His tackling
was deadly and he could break up
opposing plays better than any other
end developed this season.
Tackles Are Strong
Fish, the Harvard captain, undoubt-
edly was the best tackle of the year.
His ability to make holes for his backs
enabled the Crimsons to gain half the
ground they made through line bucks.
Hobbs of Yale, who opposed the Har-
ward captain in the Yale-Harvard
game, is selected as the man for the
opposite tackle. Hobbs is adapt at
breaking through and stopping kicks.
Notable guards this season are few
but for their all around usefulness, the
positions must go to Captain Tobin of
Dartmouth, and Andrus of Yale. Tobin
is a good place kicker as we'll as being
a strong lineman, while Andrus' work
on the Yale eleven has been very ef-
fective.
Center is hard to pick, as there are
so many high class contenders for
the place. But Cooney of Yale, who
the season outplayed his
opponents, really deserves the place.
Cozens of Pennsylvania is a strong
contender for this position.
Coy Is Clever Full
When it comes to picking the back
field, Captain Coy of Yale standc
without a competitor for the position
If fullback. He can run the ends,
buck the line, punt. drop kick or place
kick. which is a combination for an /
deal fullback.
There are four strong contenders for
he two halfback positions. Harvard |
has two star backs in Minot and Cor
Oett, both are powerful line breakers.
But Minot's strong showing in the
Yale Harvard game gives him one of
he halves. Magidsohn is the only
middle west man that makes the all
American. He is the most brilliant
'unning back produced this season and
