Haughton and DAILY did not coach the eleven to-
day. as they have gone to West Point to see Yale
play the Cadets. Practice for the afternoon was
light, and there was scrimmage. Blasden had
the men in charge and preliminary work was fol-
lowed, with long drill in signals. The practice
was secret and some new formations were worked
out. The injury 70 Perkins yesterday proved
serious, and he will be out of the game for some
time.
Captain Fish is not expected 10 play to-mor-

JOHNSON STILL FAVORITE
Fear of Anti-Betting Lao Brings
CHANGE in Stakeholder.

San Francisco, Oct 15.-The dsqueting rumor
that the championship fight tomorrow between
Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchel might be de-
clared off because Of dispute the 5000 side
bet caused some uneasness to-day. but the official
announcement Of J. W. Coffroth tonight that he
had taken possession of the $4,000 staked by the
two principals has allayed all fears.
1t is believed the trouble due to the refusal
of the appointed stakeholder to continue in that
capacity. This refusal is said to have been caused
by fear OF legal complications. for by the terms Of
the new anti-betting law in this state 1t is felony
for any to act as stakeholder. Notwithstand-
ing this. Coffroth took charge OF the money and
gave each OF the fighters a receipt for his share.
There is now no doubt that the side bet will stand
originally made
Nothing now is likely to interfere with the fight.
Weather conditions alone prevent 1t, for the
sunshine arena has no cover, but the prediction
is for clear weather.
The fight is scheduled to go twenty rounds. and
will begin at p m. after two ten-round pre-
liminaries. Jack Welsh will be referee. The bet
ting continues at 10 to that johnson Will win. and
at even money that he will knock Ketchel out in
less than fifteen rounds.
