TEARnEY The MAN
Hugh S. Fullerton, the Chicago
Writer, Boosting Him for
Three Eye Head.
WANTS PLACE RENDERED
Organizer and Head of the Amateur
Baseball Organization of Chicago
and Coed Fellow.

The following letter was received by
the sporting editor of The Argus today
from Hugh S. Fullerton, one of the
leading Chicago sporting writer's, and
is self explanatory:
Chicago, Oct. 20, 1909.
Sporting Editor, The Argus.-Dear
Sir and Brother in Misery: 1 have ap-
pointed myself press agent for Al
Tearney and am trying to boost him
into the presidency of the Three-Eye
league. He is not an active candidate,
but l know he would accept, and
also know that any kind word spoken
in Rock Island might help, so I appeal
to fellow baseball writer's. l am much
handicapped in this because you fell
lows never have had a chance to know
Teaney. If you did, he would not
need an agent. He is clean and
straight, and would be an honor to
baseball and big boost for the Three
Eye league. 1 don't know why he
wants the job, except that he loves
baseball better than he does almost
anything else If he gets it, he will
spend his salary and a couple of thous-
and more year boosting the league;
but if he is willing, I am anxious for
him to have it. AS there is no other
candidate in the field, l am not hurt
ing anyone.
Personally Favored Sexton
Personally, 1 hoped they would re-
elect Sexton. So you see where 1 stand.
Tearney refuses to make any campaign
for the job, and wants it to be offered
to him, which kind of modesty don't
pay At any rate, am not as modest
for him as he is for himself. and al
though 1 am acting without his sane
ton, 1 feel justified. Tearney has been
the organizer and president of the
amateur baseball organization of Chi
cago, composed of hundreds Of clubs,
and has done big things for the boys.
His place is baseball headquarters for
Chicago and all the players loaf there.
The Three-Eye magnates seem deter
mine to have a Chicago man and Chi
cago offices. and so far as l can learn
all the fellows who have been ap-
preached have refused the job mainly
because it costs more than it pays
usually, and you know newspaper men |
can't stand that long.
l thought when l started TO write |
the fellows around the circuit that 1 |
knew most of the sporting writer's, but |
recalled sadly that it has been eight |
years since. 1 was in Rock Island, so |
could only make a wild guess at the |
names of writer's. At any rate, if l !
haven't met you I hope to have that |
some day. Any notice of |
Tearney as a presidential possibility /
Or probability, 1 will regard as a per-
sonal favor, and regardless of every
hing else, 1 think the league will over
Ook a big chance to boost itself and
get a live president if they miss Tear
ley.
Ho said this morning, when l first
heard about it, that he would attend
he meeting at Memphis. When you
,ome to Chicago, drop in, introduce
Yourself to Tearney, and see for your
he always will buy.
Sincerely,
HUGH S. FULLERTON.

JEFFRIES NOT TO
GO ON STAGE
Denied That He Has Signed a
Contract for $4,000 The
atrical Engagement
PRIOR TO THE BIG FIGHT
Proposes to Spend Winter in Noun
tains-Johnson, However, AZ
ter the "SOft."

New York, Oct. 30.-Jeffries will
not accept any theatrical engagements
between now and the time he fights
Johnson but will retire to the noun
tains of California and devote his
entire period to active and systematic
training for the championship bat
tie, according to Sam Berger, his
manager. Following the signing of
articles to fight it was reported jeff
ries had been offered $4,000 for
eight months on the stage to begin
at once.
Jeffries has not decided just when
he will go to California but it is be-
ieved he will remain in the east and
continue his training in gymnasium
until december 1, when bids for the
fight will be opened. Johnson and
his manager, George Little, start for
Chicago today and will arrange for
long theatrical season before the
fight.
How Terms Were Made
New York, Oct. 30.-James J. JEFF
ries and Jack Johnson met in the ban
quet hall at the Hotel Albany yester-
day afternoon and after a conference
that lasted more than an hour the men
agreed to battle As rounds or more for
the heavyweight championship of the
world before the club Offering the
largest purse. The purse is to be di-
vided, rs per cent to the winner and
% per cent to the loser
1t was agreed to fight not later than
July o. 1910. This will give both men
an opportunity to fill out theatrical en-
gagements. Then, again, it means
good pictures and a good attendance,
as the fight is to take place in the
open air.
The men are to battle for side bet
of $4,000. Each man posted $4,000
some time ago, and the other $4,000
was posted yesterday afternoon. This
money goes also as a forfeit and
stands as a side bet as soon as the
men enter the ring.
Murphy to Hold Stakes.
Bob Murphy has been named as tenn
porary stakeholder. Johnson's $4,000
posted in Chicago and the money post
ed by Jeffries in New York two months
ago Will be forwarded to Murphy 1T
once.
Jeffries was in the hall when John
son entered shortly after O'clocR. |
Jeffries was seated at a long table, |
with George Considine on one side and |
Bon Vernon on the other. Sam Ber- |
ger was close at hand.
When Johnson was about to take his |
seat the men were formally introduced |
and at once settled down to business. |
The first hitch came when Jeffries
said that he wanted to fight winner
axe ali. Johnson was willing to agree,
but his manager would not listen 20
such proposition.
Suppose we should Iose,'' said he,
where would we come imp
It was finally agreed the men should
livide on a rs and % per cent basis.
When it came to the side bet JEFF
les said: 81 will bet $4,000 on the
5ide." Johnson would not listen to
his. He proposed that the side bet
,e $4,000.

JeH Flashes Big Roll

''But you have been travelling around
town telling everybody that you want
ed to bet $4,000 on the side" chirped
JEFF.
THAT is not so" retorted Johnson
"But it has been printed in the
papers," came from Jeffries.
81 never said it, replied Johnson.
''IIl set you $4,000 on the side. You
know I need a little money for winter
coal and it would not do to tie up my
entire bank roll" And Jeff let it go
at $4,000.
The number of rounds was next n
order. so far as I go" said JeTries,
81 don't care If it's six, 10, 20, or 100
rounds; but I know what the public
will demand and l am going to see
they get tit means g finish"
At this the crowd cheered until Bob
Murphy had to outroar them for order.
But Johnson was not satisfied. He
feared a San Francisco club, where
only 90 round bouts are allowed,
might get the bid, end in that event
insisted that 20 rounds should be
specified.
HAY Pass Up Frisco.
'Then Frisco won't get the fight
Jeffries decisively. Make
it 40 rounds or more" Swallowing
his objections, previously voiced, the
negro agreed volubly.
As { finish fight had been agreed
on. it was the consensus of opinion at
the matchmakers' table that either Ne
vada or California must get the win
ming bid. with 80 days for the bids
to come In and so days more for the
men to condition themselves in. the
weather at the earliest would be too
wet In California and too cold In Ne
vada. Both men agreed that, to ac-
the huge crowds sure 10
attend the bout must be held out OF
doors. Berger further urged the neces-
slty for ample training time.

men, champagne was served
