Eastern Trip
Jockey Club President Expected
Quickly to Determine the
Fate of Beffors

President Thomas Fl. Williams of
the New California jockey club is due
to arrive tonight from New York, where
he spent several weeks looking into
the racing situation. 1t is expected
that he will shortly announce some of
the plans for the season which opens
at Emeryville, Saturday. November 90.
As the meeting is but three weeks off,
interest is rapidly on the increase and
there is much discussion about the
method of speculation that will be
adopted in view of the decision sustain
ing the constitutionality of the Walker
Otis anti-betting law President Will
liams has already announced that the
law will be fully complied with, so
there is naturally much anxiety to
learn what system will prevail
Horsemen are. also much interested
in the matter of handicaps and purses.
1t has already been stated that there
will be no purse less than $3.50. and
according to announcements made by
Williams while in the east there will
be liberal overnight handicaps if the
situation warrants them.
martin Nathanson, programmer and
handicapper of the jockey club is due
tSlh NHIcdSo next week and he will
AT once devote his attention to getting
out the program book for the first week
OF racing: 1t will then be seen what
the association will provide at the out
set.
Applications for stalls continue to
reach Secretary Treat, and the ship
ments of horses will be on the in
crease from now on. Among the ap-
plications received yesterday was that
OF Dealy q Co, who are racing their
horses at Salt Lake City.
IT Is said that William Cowan. one of
the biggest operators on the metropoIi-
tan tracks Is among the few men who

season. The majority of the book max
ers on the Canadian circuit lost ex-
tensively.

sprfnter Jack Atkin TO Jacksonville. ac-
cordfng to a report from the east.
Schreiber will be represented by a good

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

Los ANGELES. oct. 2s.-Jim Flynn
won his 10 round bout with Jack
Burns, the Coalinga giant. at Maud
Junction tonight. The Pueblo boy won
all the way, and half dozen times he
was on the verge of knocking out his
big adversary. but the giant showed
great vitality and was able to stall.
Jim worked his way through Burns
guard to get in telling blows. Hard
fighting in clinehes gave Flynn an
early edge. In the third Burns held
Flynn away, but failed to land any eff
fective blows on the sturdy fireman,
who did all the leading. Flynn landed
"A dozen effective blows in the fourth
that sloweds the giant down and sent
his head rocking right and left.
The fireman fought the Coalinga
giant all over the ring in the last six
rounds and had the big 'un bleedin e

Of Ball Magnates

CINCINNATI, Oct. 29.-All the differ
ences between President Charles Muir
ply of the Chicago National league
baseball club, and Chairman August
Hermann of the National baseball
commission. have been smoothed over
by the diplomacy of Charles p. Taft,
who owns a 20 per cent interest in the
Chica go club.
When the dispute between Murphy
and Hermann over the purchase of
Pfeffer of the Toronto club and Cole
of the Bay. City club, by Murphy, re-
Gently became acute, Taft arranged a
conference between Murphy and Herr

Cole as direct purchase, instead of
$500. on a draft

WhirIwind Fight to Draw

The preliminary was whirlwind af-
fair. 1t went the full ten rounds and
Referee Cap Baker decided that Brick
Mccarthy and frankie Smith had bat
received and it is probable that Baker
used good Judgment as he might have
had the gallery on him If he had given
the fight to Mccarthy. as he was the
man who was entitled to the verdict
II winner had been named, as he had
the shade.
1T was more interesting than the
time during the ten rounds that the
boys Ioafed. From the Sound of the
gong they mixed ii and some clever
work was scored by both lads.
McCarthy's work was OF the more
spectacular nature. His unerring left
hand was his favorite weapon and he
kept landing it innumerable times dur.
to lunge forward with his left and it
frequently found spot somewhere
about Smiths face and head. Smith
was badly battered about the face at
the conclusion of the affray.
Smith seemed to have the more eff
swap punches with his opponent, but
the red haired lad seemed TO realize
that Smiths right carried sleep produce
ing effects and he kept out of the
way of this member. For the first
few rounds Mccarthy had a nice lead.
<as he kept shooting in his left hand
and dancing away without return
However. Smith found manner of
attack before the ten rounds had
elapsed and he improved as the battle
progressed Neither lad was ever in
danger at any time and the ten rounds
passed without knockdown. Both
were pretty tired at the finish.

holder to be chosen by the club.
NO. sub, said Johnsony q has a

The club has more to say than
either of u.s." put in Berger.
No man has more to say about my
money than | has" affirmed Johnson,
shaking his head-yet he yielded while
protesting.
Now, only one crucial point re-
mained-when would they fight?
NEVADA OR CALIFORNIA
AS finish fight had been agreed
upon it was the consensus of opinion
at the match makers table that either
Nevada or California must get the
winning bid. With 80 days for the
bids to come in and so more for the
men to condition themselves in, the
weather at the earliest would be too
wet in California and too cold in
Nevada. Both men agreed that, to
accommodate the huge crowds sure to
attend, the bout must be held out of
doors Berger further urged the
necessity for ample training time. And
it was formally settled that a day mot
later than July ;. 1910, be chosen The
deal was closed
Again the principals posed for the
fiashlight men, champagne was served
while the articles were being type
written, and at $40 the binding sigma
lures were affixed and witnessed.
Jeffries returned from Europe a
week ago and Johnson came east from
Chicago yesterday for the meeting to-
day. Both men have many theatrical
offers, and both their managers said
that they would probably scoop in
little expense money" before going
into active training. Jeffries has been
doing gymnasium work since his ar

SUNNI DECISION
OF COMMODITIES CLAUSE

, of enforcing which prohibitions thes
suits were brought.
AS the construction which the gov
eminent placed upon the acts arc
seeks to enforce is now held to be I'm
sound and as none of the contention
relied upon is applicable to the act a
now construed, because under such
construction the act merely enforces
a regulation of commerce by which
carriers are compelled to dissociato
themselves from the products which
they carry and does not prohibit wher
the carrier is not associated with the
commodity carried, it follows that II
contentious on the subject of the fifth
amendment are without merit.
Fourth The exception as to tim
ber etc, contained in the clause is
not repugnant to the constitution.
Fifth. The provision as to the PEN
alties is separable from the other pro
Visions OF InG ACT. AS uO lSSONSly ~
penalties was prayed, no issue concern
ing them is here presented, it will be
time enough to consider whether t1'
right to recover penalties exists when
an attempt to collect penalties is made
IS. AS the construction which the
government gave to the act and which
it was the purpose of these suits to en-
force. it is held that it is not neces-
sary in reversing and remanding to al
rect the character of DEGREES which
shall be entered, but simply to revers
and remand the case with direction
to enforce and apply the staluse as -
is now construed.

pany is engaged as a common carrie

view of the commodities clause, ana

HUNDLEY NOT TO GETIT.
A Positive Statement Credited to An
Alabama Congressman.

WASHINGTON, May Am Ala
bama congressman who claims to
speak upon the authority of a prom
inent Republican who has had several
conferences with the president in re-
gard to the Northern Alabama district
judgeship, says Judge Oscar r. Humid
ley will not be reappointed. He said
also that big surprise was impend-
ing, as the man the president has
determined to appoint has not been
discussed in the newspapers in con-
nection with the judgeship.
The president has delayed the ap-
pointment of a successor to Judge
Hundley so long, until those interest
ed in the contest have grown cynical.
The man now said to be uppermost in
the presidential mind is well known
to Attorney General Wickersham, who
has given him an enthusiastic indorse-
ment.
