LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6.-Jack
johnson is in for the beating of his
life, and the promoters had better
carry an undertaken wagon along
with them to cart away the re-
mains, if he even meets Jim Jeff
ries, is the opinion of Dewitt c.
Van Court, one of the lead ng au-
thorities in the country on things
pugilistic.
Van Court taught Jim Corbett a
great deal of what that clever
boxer knew, and, as boving in
structor of the San Francisco
olympic club, he came in touch
with many of the famous fighters
of years ago. His opinion is based
solely upon Jeff's last real battle
the memorable one with Jim Cor
bett.
Il think Jeff's last battle the
one with Corbett-the best of his
career" said Van Court when dis.
cussing the relative merits of the
two men. Jeff not only outslugged
Corbett, but he outboxed him, and
don't forget that at the time Cor.
bett was the cleverest man in the
world. For a man of Jeff's build
his work of outboxing Gentleman
jim is. in my opinion, nothing
short of marvellous.

Johnson stands up and ropghs it
with Jim, he won't last three
rounds; if he stands off and boxes,
it may go longer, but the result will
be the same in the end-Jeff will
get him.
The people have no reason to
suppose that Jeff has gone back.
True, he has not been actively en-
gagged in fighting, but he has led a
quiet life. All this talk about Jim
sapping his vitality by staying up
late at night and booZing is rot.
Jeff took good care of himself the
whole time he was out of training,
and is in just as good shape as ever
now, physically and mentally, as he
ever was in his whole fe. He may
need a good deal of work to get
back his wind and harden his mus

same old Jeff that beat Jim Cor

COAST LEAGUE
HILLYARD TO PLAY
BROWNLEE OCTOBER 10

Managers of the City league
teams met last night and decided
that the Hillyard Cubs, who won
the City league pennat this season,
must play a postponed game with
the Brownies on October 10.
Should the Brownies win this
game, the two teams will be ted
for first place. Manager Harry
Campbell of the Hillyard team was
not present at the meeting, but it
is not thought that he will offer
serious objection to the proposal
President Lloyd decided in favor
of the managers present and stated
that the Hiuyard team would have
to play off the postponed game
with the Brownies before they
could hold the pennant for this
year.

inclined toward the body. 1t should
strike in this position. The kick is
made with the toe, not with the
instep.
Nothing is more important in
foot ball than to know how to fall
upon the ball. Instead of trying to
pick up a rolling ball, the player
should dive for it, lighting on the
knees first and falling forward on
and around the ball. Hands and
arms should draw the ball to the
body. A bounding ball should be
caught if possible. Sometimes it is
possible to push aside an opponent
as he is about to fall upon ball
and drop upon it yourself or to
kick a ball from under an opponent
as he is falling upon it.
To fall upon a ball with your
weight may result in permanent in
jury. AS the ball is grasped, legs
and body should curve around it.
Practice falling in every possible
manner. This should be part of the
daily practice all season.

Place kicking is an art. Skillful
execution depends as much upon
the man holding the ball as upon
the kicker. It's value cannot be
overestimated. In placing the ball
upon the ground just right, de-
ponds success.
When place kick is planned
the kicker and the holder fall back
the necessary distance, the holder
drops upon his knee, the kicker
takes his position and the ball is
snapped. The holder catches the
ball, poises it momentarily in an
upright position to give the kicker
opportunity to get his line, then
places the end upon the ground
simultaneously the kicker takes
two steps forward and drives his
toe against the ball.
In the drop kick, the toe meets
the ball the instant it strikes the
ground. The ball is held at an
angle of about As degrees, the tor

 IN TWO CHURCHES
Bishop Brewster Delivers I've Scholarly Sermons and Confirms Classes at St. Johns and St. Lakes Churches.

Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster. of the diocese of Connecticut. confirmed two large classes in this city yesterday. The first was at St. Johns church at Park and Fairfield avenues. where there were ten in the class. The Bishop preached on the subject "Sin and Its Cure" discourse which was listened to with the greatest attention by the the sermons of Bishop Brewster this one was scholarly and laden with truths which ordinarily pass unnoticed in the busy world. The confirmation Bishop address the class specifically. calling the attention of the members to the significance of the step they had taken and the duties it carried with 1t. He offered them a motto taken from the Psalms of David God Is Our Help," and reminded them that at all times they were privileged to call on him for assistance and that they would always receive succor. Bisho- Brew ster administered the communion at the end of his address.
 In the evening Bishop Brewster con- dr1ned a class of nine at St. Luks's ,hurch. Sixth and Stratford avenues. The sermon which followed the confir- nation was listened to by a very large congregation. The text was "Trembl-
 ng and Astonished he said Lord what wilt thou have me to do?" Acts 9-6. The sermon was esentially for converts and dealt with the service for Christ which Is the one thing expected of con- verts. Paul began his serv ce imme- diately on his conversion and continued till death. Resignation and submission are not all that is to be expected in 8 Christian life. There must be service. Obedience to Gods commands, implifs service. True loyalty implies the p9r- formance of ones duty in the ranks of the faithful Activity brings a joy that cannot be concealed. It increases as the activity groWS more persistent. God never assigned a duty to his Disciples without giving them the pow CT to perform 1t. 'If you ought to do it. then you can" This is the keynote of the confirmation service. A life of loyalty according to the light received will result in content. We shall not be concerned with death if we live aright.

The headline attraction this week is the most pretentious thing offered by Manager Pon this season. It is real Broadway hit, starring Phyllis Rankin and Harry Davenport, who are assist ed by a company of fifteen favorites. Edward A. Paulton is responsible for "rhe Naked Truth and the produc. tion is under the personal direction Of MT. Sydney Drew.
 The story teens with clever com edy, and sparkles with original wit and humor. The score is delightful and the chorus numbers most catchy and attractive. The work of Miss Rankin, who is daughter of Mckee Rankin, as Stella, and that of MT. Dav- enport, a brother of the famous Fannie geant in the Kings Scotch High balls,'' is clever and artistic at all times. Elaborate special scenic effects and settings also combine to make the and d-shoulders above any vaudeville extravaganza offered in many seasons.
