the victim of the puns of his friends,

MAY BE ATTRACTION
Frisco Heavy Believes He Can Stop
the Fighting Fireman-Willis Re-
ceives Offer to Meet Burns
at coalinaa

Joe Willis, the game San Francisco
heavyweight whose recent performance
has created something OF a sensation, is
hot on the trail of Jim Flynn of Pue-
bio. If anyone was ever entitled to
match with the fighting fireman it is
Willis, is the belief of his manager,
VIII Caruthers, and in this opinion
he is backed up by every local fan.
Both men are game to the core. Both
are fighters who take to mixing things,
and both have first-class records. II
Willis should defeat Flynn he will have
attained an enviable position.
Meanwhile Joe has received tempt
ing offer from Coalinga to meet GEN
tleman Jack Burns in that city over tine
forty-five round route on THANKSGIVING
day. Willis has trained five times to
meet the Salina boy, but has entered
the ring with him but once. In that
fight Willis broke his arm in the second
round after having the best Of the first
two sessions. Nothing will probably be
done about this match, however, until
q fight with Flynn has been arranged
Willis confidently asserts that he will
stop the fireman inside of ten rounds.
Flynn's hackers reply nix. Both men
are faVorites with Los Angeles fandom
A meeting of the two would draw one
of the best houses which Maud juno
tion has seen for many a day, and
would either brand Willis as a near
champion or as second-class pug.

might take players from the four class
es Of the minors.
Now there is a sliding scale, but Mr..
Carson said that If player in class
c was considered worthy of draft by a
major league club then he was worth
as much to that club as class A play
er and should be paid for accordingly.
MIR. Carson also asked that a player
be given certain time in which to re-
turn his signed contract or incur d
penalty.
Mr. Ewing Of the Pacific Coast league
suggested that the contracts be sent
out January l and the players be given
thirty days in which to return them
in.
Both Mr. Carson's suggestions were
referred to the committee on revision.
The class c and y leagues asked that
minor leagues be given the privilege of
delivering the draft players at the end
of the season. Now these players are
required to be delivered August %. A
resolution was introduced by w. NJ.

Winner of Webster-Attell Fight
Mccarey Favors Match at
Early Date

frankie Conely, a bantenweight
fighter from Kenosha, Wis, in in town
with a record as long as a Belgian
hare's pedigree and a challenge to fight
the winner of the Attell- Webster fight
on any kind of a percentage basis.
Conley looks good but his record looks
better. He has fought forty-two bat
ties. losing but one, via the decision
route to Wolgast in 1908. At that time
Conely was new at the fight game,
Since then he has had two draws with
the Milwaukee whirlwind and has been
unsuccessful in trying to get a return
match. Conley also has beaten Bat
Ting Hurley, lightweight, and
Frankie White. The last named won
a decision fight from Abe Attell over
the fifteen round course at st. Joe, Mis-

has Travelled far. Not the least of the
benefits which Angel city fandom will
reap will be the Injection of new blood

INSANE ASYLUM PATIENT
REFUSED HABEAS CORPUS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1O.-The ap-
plication of John r. Robinson, a
wealthy stock raiser of Solano county,
for a writ of habeas corpus to conf
pei his release from the Napa asylum
for the insane, was denied today by
Justice Van Fleet of the United States
circuit court
in his demand for a writ Robinson
declared he was not insane and that
his Incarceration in the asylum was in
violation of his treaty rights as a
British subject.
He asserted that the violent actions
which led to his arrest early this year
were due to a severe toothache.
Justice Van Fleet declined to issue
the writ on the ground that it was
the policy of the federal judiciary not
to interfere with the state courts un-
til the last recourse to them was ex-
hausted.

an offer by William A. Brady, a the
atrical manager, to post $4,000, the
entire sum to go to Jeffries if he would
agree to f1fht Al Kaufman within

no word of reply came from Jeffries,

DENVER BOOKMAKERS
fLEECED BY SHARKS
Wire Tappers at Latonla Responsible
for Heavy Losses-odd on How
ard Pearson Boosted at
Past Time

DENVER, Nov. 10.-Probably be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 was obtained
in this city and suburbs and in Salt
Lake yesterday as the result of what
is believed TO have been clever Wire
tapping near the Latonia race track,
by which the odds on Howard Pear
son, winner of the sixth race at that
track, were boosted from Z to to 20,
and even as high as 40 to l.
Handbook makers here and at the
suburbs of Englewood and Littleton
reluctantly admitted they lost heavily
on the race and many of the local
bookmakers refused today to cash
Howard Pearson tickets.
According to one local bookmaker,
the odds apparently We're changed be-
fore post time and the boost from
Z to / to 20 to l does not seem to have
caused suspicion. If the wire was
tapped the post odds were held back
and the false odds sent. Then the
plunge was made and as the tip on the
horse apparently was general nearly
every bookmaker around Denver lost
1t is said that the operations extend
ed to Chicago,
