JEFFRIES ADMITS
= CHANCE FOR FIGHT

LOS ANGELES, February 3-Spring
street came into it's own yesterday.
James ]. Jeffries returned to town. AS
good-natured and as awkward as a
cub bear, JEFF rambled down the steps
of the owl train. The big fellow in
alighting favored his sore right arm
that is still giving him some trouble.
He carried a little electric vibrator.
which he uses to treat his arm and
shoulder
Seeing that the writer was about to
ask him a question, jeff anticipated
what was coming by yelling: NO! Just
keep saying mo- as long as anybody
asks you if I am going to fight again
and you will be on the safe side"
The retired champions attitude is
perplexing, to say the least. When
shown the telegram from Seattle to the
effect that a bank in that city guaran-
teed $125.OOO for twenty rounds be-
tween him and Johnson. the big boy
iingled a bunch Of keys in a nervous
manner and said:
",rell them will consider it."
Everybody in the party drew long
breath. as this was the nearest that
Jim had come to admitting that he
would fight again. Jeffries appeared to
regret that he had gone so far, and did
the recall act as follows:
NO don't tell 'em that or they'll be-
lieve that I'm thinking of fighting
again. That's an awful big offer! and
those Seattle people are entitled to an
answer of some kind. l don't know just
what to say. Let's let it rest for q
couple of days"
Jims vest hangs loosely over his
broad stomach. The two weeks work
in San Francisco has reduced him sew
eral pounds, and he is looking better
now than he has in three years.
He will remain here a week or ten
days attending to personal business af f.
fairs and then will start on his long
theatrical tour While in the city Jim
will keep up his training stunts by
working daily at the Los Angeles A. &.
Had a great week in Frisco" said Jim.
Berger spared with me week and
then he got tired and l had to finish
up my engagement by using Kennedy"

WEST POINT, \. Y, February 3.-The
Army base ball schedule was announced

Nineteen games are scheduled. all to be
played at West Point. Instead Of being
the final game. the Navy game this year
takes place May %. and the season ends
with the Colgate game, June 8. Decora-
ton day. which for years has been re-
served for the 9TH Regiment. n. Y. n. G.,
will again see the guardsmen and their
host of rooters at the Military Acad-
envy. Last year the early graduation of
the first class took nearly all the old team
and q new one had to be constructed. All
members of that team are still here, and
with what material the class entering in
March will bring, the prospects at pres
ent are bright
Sam Strang. formerly OF the New York
Nationals. will coach this year. and in
tends starting work in the cage shortly.
The schedule follows:

DID WALKER BREAK RECORD AT HUNDRED YARDS?
FIVE WATCHES TIMED HIS FAST FLIGHT, But

in special car over the Washington
Baltimore and Annapolis railway. Though
the Washington team now has a safe lead
and looks as If 1t will win the honors
for the second time in two years, the
local players have not yet given up hope
OF winning the event. and they Will go
TO Washington determined to cut down
the advantage the Senators now hold
Washington has a lead of 1853 points,
the total score in the previous two
matches being. Washington. 1876 and Bal
timore. 633 There will be a change In
the Baltimore team. which will make it
stronger against the Westinghouse.
f.. w. Boxer will replace Phillip b.
Lang. Before the match II was decided
that Boxer and Lang divide the series,
as Lang made great showing in prac-
tice before the first block. and was ex-
pected to cut a big figure in the play.
Boxer. however. is acknowledged to be
cleverer player than Lang. as he is
more consistent in his work
In his practice this week Boxer has
displayed wonderful form. and he will
likely add lot of strength to the Bal
timore team. The other players will be
being Moore. Lnhard and Morrison. The
latter has put up an excellent game In
the match, and in the last block played
here defeated Hill. 100 to 96. The Balti-
more players predict that they will cut
down the lead to fifty points in Washing
vantage, as they say the Washington ia
bles are slow and just the opposite to the
conditions here.
Manager Klein yesterday received a
special invitation to bring his Baltimore
team over to dinner before the match.
The team will leave here at O'Clock
Friday afternoon, and just as soon as
1t arrives in Washington will go to
the Royal parlors, where a practice match
will be played. The Washington team
will be the same as in the other matches.
It's members are Gray. Hoeke, Hill and
Stevens. Gray and Hoeke are the crack
players of the team, Hoeke showing de-
cided improvement over his form OF last
year. In the last match Hoeke defeated
Linhard and Lang. while Gray defeated
Lang and Morrison.
Tuesdays match will probably decide
whether Baltimore will lose the hand
some silver trophy, offered to the team
winning it two successive times, Wash
ington having won the match last year.
The final block of 400 points will be play
ed in this city March . at Klein's. Man
ager Frank Sherman of the Washington
team requested Manager Klein to take
over two referees, and the Baltimore
manager has selected 8. Blumenfeld and
Phillip B. Lang. The former has refereed
all Of the state championship matches.

NOT TO ENTER.
Georgetown Will Not Be Able to
Take Part in Basket Ball Series.

Take Part in Basket Ball Series.
Manager Dilkes yesterday announced
that the Blue and Gray quint would not
be entered in the championship series of
the South Atlantic Association, A. A. u.
This comes as disappointment to those
local supporters of the collegians who
think that Georgetown could trim the as
ISOLATION quint on a neutral floor. After
the final battle Of the series between
Georgetown and the Y. NJ. c. A. a good
deal of discussion arose concerning the
merits of the contending quints and it
was expected that the two would meet
for the Dieges and Clust trophy and thus
settle all disputes.
Manager Dilkes endeavored to obtain
faculty permission to enter the series. but
the sanction was refused on the ground
that there was no sufficient reason for an
exception being made to the rule which
forbids the varsity teams from meeting
club teams The final decision on the
matter was given yesterday, and imme-
diately afterward Coach Joyce was in
structed to withdraw the conditional en-
try he had made last Saturday.
This leaves but one quint to represent
Washington, as it is not likely that any
but the Y. NJ. c. A. team will go into
such fast company. The I'd Regiment
five has a couple of legs on the cup. and
because Of that fact it may take a
chance. However, 1t is only chance,
since the local Y. NJ. c. A should not
have much trouble in eliminating the SOL
diers from the race.

Ger. the chubby catcher from ST. Louis.

Spencer and good-sized bonus were
traded by st. Louis to the Boston Ameri-

it. and finally got it, and signed up. :
Now Spencer is out with the same de-
mand. 'Divy up or l don't sign is
the ultimatum he has conveyed to Man.

said he would wire Spencer to sign up

Favor, Outpoints Philadelphian.

BOSTON. February 3.-Harry Lewis
of Philadelphia went out of his class to
box twelve rounds with Bill McKinnon Of
Foxbury at the ArVnory A. A. last night
and received severe beating.
Mckinnon had ten pounds on his op-
ponent. and he boxed with confidence
and skill that surprised his most intimate
friends. In only one round. the third, did
Lewis have shade the betted of it. and
in practically all the other sessions the
klocal man beat the welterweight cham
piOn.
McKinnon went right after Lewis in the
first two rounds and gave him severe
punishment. receiving practically nothing
in return Lewis was splitting blood after
the second round and was cut on the
forehead In the third Lewis used his left
very effectively and crossed the right to
the jaw. but it did not bother McKinnon.
In the remaining rounds McKinnon put it
oil over his opponent, who kept on the re-
treat.

were issued. one To Reuben Wright

ana the other TO Mr. Kern, who will
marry the daughter.
We are going TO take a car to
some small town in the state" Wright
said. and have the ceremonies per.
formed. and will go from there to our
home. We haven't decided yet just
where we will go, but We'll be married
during the afternoon. Claude and
