HERE is ONE FOR THE FIGHT FANS TO
PONDER -JEFFRIES HAS A STIFF ARM

and to this day the arm like that Of
Battling Nelson, will not straighten
out.
7 think that, like in the case of
Nelson, the arm may even be an ad-
vantage on Gffense, but when it comes
to defense it viii be a different matter.
He will have 10 face the best and
strongest man in the ring today, and
in protecting himself his stiff arm Will
not give the protection il ought. The
fans may say that Nelson got along
all right, but Nelson has never had to
protect himself as Jeffries will against
Johnson.
Outside of the arm I am sure JEFF
fries viii be in fine shape. He is a
defense. He has a punch in either
hand and can start it from any posi-
ton. It will be a great fight, and if
it comes to Salt Lake it will be a great
thing for the town" =.

RUMORS OF FOOTBALL
CAMS ARE JUST Talk

Despite effervescent talks appearing
daily about football games for the Uni
versity of Michigan against the
University of Utah here and at
Pasadena, Cal, and for the local
High schools against the Ann Ar
Dor High school of Michigan, every one
I'm a position to talk says there is
nothing to it, In the first place it is very
doubtful whether or not the University
of Michigan eleven makes the western
trip. the University athletic board Of con-
tr6i having put its foot down on the
trip.
As for the Ann ArbOr High school. it
seems that the school faculty has given
out that every man VINO goes on the trip
Will be expelled from school.
ON top of the objections at Ann ArbOr
for both teams, in Salt Lake both Coach
Maddox and Coach COnville say there
is absolutely no chance of getting their
teams in shape for a midwinteF game.
Faculty objections are also heard.
At Granite there is some talk of meet
ing the Ann Arbof High school if the
AIichiganders stop in Salt Lake Coach
Moss and his men are in favor of the
game, but the chance is very remote.

DrObach remained on the track for two

header but escaped with a few scTa tches,
and his partner Hehir of New Zealand,

THINKS TIGERS BEST.
Eastern Critic Says Detroit Will Win
in 1910.

Unless the unforeseen happens Detroit
should have an easier time winning the
pennant next season than the Tigers

They got almost every man they APP

SUSPECT IN JAIL
NOT BAY GORDON

After week of excitement and ex.
pectancy on the part of Sheriff Cleo.
fes Romero and Deputy Sheriff en-
rique Sena, an possible doubt as to
the identity of the man arrested on
suspicion of being Bay Gordon, al
legged fugitive Colorado murderer, was
removed late yesterday afternoon,
when after viewing additional pic
lures of Gordon sent here by the
Pueblo, Colo, authorities and anoth-
er close examination of the prisoner
in the county Jail by Sheriff Fields
w. Mcmillan of Pueblo, and the local
officers, certain discrepancies in the
description of the two men which
could not be reconciled, convinced
the officers that mistake had
been made Sheriff Mcmillan left
on No. s last night for home.
However, Williams. as the man in jail
is known, will be held short time
longer by Sheriff Romero. as there is
strong evidence to show that he is
probably an all round crook, who is
wanted by the authorities in some
other city. Williams exhibited great
relief when he learned that he was
not to be taken back to Pueblo. and
any damg;ng admissions he made
which lead the officers to thinking
he was Gordon, were likely due to
his being greatly frightened for fear
he would be taken back to the scene
of Gordon's crime and perhaps lynch.
