BIG FIGHTERS MEET IN NEW YORK
TODAY TO SIGN NECESSARY ARTICLES

the facts remain, and it will be hard
for any of the fans to get away from
them. Nobody at the ringside could
see the wallop. Referee Jack Walsh
says that Ketchel hit Johnson behind
the ear, Johnson says the punch land
ed right on the jaw and Ketchel does
not know where it struck These three
statements are enough in themselves
to make all the fans suspicious.
Judging from the ease with which
Johnson boWled Ketchel over in the
second round, it is taken for granted
by the students of the game that the
black man could have registered a
Knockout any time he desired. But
Johnson bet several thousand dollars
that the fight would end within Is
rounds and so did his friends The ne
gro was ShreWd enough not to knock
his man out too quickly 50 he stalled
along and played till the twelfth.
Then again, Johnson showed that he

York and they will be taken all over

within the next few months.
Among the principal bidders for
the fight is Eddie Graney, the noted
referee. Graney and Coffroth are at
dagger's points, and it is Graney's plan
to get control of a club and then bid
against Coffroth for the Johnson-Jef
fries match. Graney has laid his plans
so carefully that nobody seems to know
who his higher up" friends are, but
if certain supervisors are elected,
Graney will practically control the box
ing game in Frisco.

will be removed so as to make a As

The long talked of meeting between
Jim Jeffries, the great indicated
heavyweight champion of the world,
and Jack Johnson, the undisputed
holder of the title, seems to be nearer
now than ever, and the chances are
that if the men ever do meet, they will
come together in Jim Coffroth's Mis-
sion street arena Coffroth and John
s,on made the trip all the way to New
York for the special purpose of having
some sort of an understanding with
the big fellow. Their plans are all
shaped now, and SO it is up to Jeff to
name his terms and have them accept
ed.
The situation has come to such a
pass that Johnson will have to fight
Jeffries in order to make any money,
for the simple reason that there are
no others in the game who are worthy
of his steel The Ketchel affair dem
onstrated this beyond the question of
a doubt Never before in the history
scarce, and it is not at all likely that
another live one can be developed in
time to give Johnson a Wnirl within
the next year or two.

are only about 5000 seats in the

Coffroth Man of the Hour.

All the fans of Gotham who arc in
a position to know, believe that the
will be arranged by the big fellows
this afternoon. Both are in New York
and Jeff is out with the statement
that he is going to fight Johnson, but
these old statements do not go for
much and nobody will take the big
fellow seriously till such time as he
gets busy and signs for the black
champion.
The principal obstacle in the way of
the match is the amount of money
which Jeff shall receive if they ever
do clash. Unquestionably, the big fell
low is going to ask for an enormous
cut for his end. win, lose or draw. But
in the meantime, he will have to recE-
on with Johnson, and the black ma n
is not holding his services an too

so strong as to draw $4,000 at his last
stand in San Francisco.

body has been able to produce the di-
rect proof of this, there are many lit

men before they went into the ring.
Though both the fighters declare that
their side bet of $4,000 each went. the
fans are 10th to believe this If il
did go. then Ketchel received but $1,000
for his bit. From this must be deduct
ed his training expenses and his man
ayers fee. What then would be left
for the fighter? Not more than few
paltry hundred dollars to be sure.
Strangely enough, Ketchel purchased
an elegant $4,000 racing automobile two
days after the fight. All those who
know the Michigan Lion we'll are sure
that he was nearly clean when he came
here to fight Johnson. Then where did
he get the money for that six cylinder
racer? Nobody has answered it as vet.
and till this answer comes through. it
will be generally conceded that Ketch-
ell had an ace in the hole when he met
the black champion.
So much has been said about that
alleged knockdown, which Ketchel is
supposed to have registered against
johnson few seconds before he met
his own doom, that the subject has be-
come tiresome. But at the same time

Restrict Practice.

Considerable restriction was placed
on the preliminary practice this year
The supervisors issued an order that
almost makes it imperative that con-
testants desiring to use the highways
for practice should have declared their
entry a week ago. The purpose OF TINS
was to eliminate incompetent mechan-
les and amateurs running their cars
over the course They assert that these
incompetents are large responsible for
the preliminary accidents and mlshaps
of the past, and for this reason they
wished to see all the drivers who are
to pilot at least 10 days prior to the
actual contest, so that the inconpe-
tents can be Weeded out.

to be one of it's most interesting feat
