JEFF CABLES HE'LL MEET
JOHNSON IN OCTOBER

Los Angeles, Sept. 27.-Jim Jeffries
is in deadly earnest so far as his In
tentions to force a match on Jack
Johnson are concerned. Facts which
have just leaked out here show con-
clusiveIy that Jeffries has been flashing
his orders across the Atlantic cable,
and that the Los Angeles idol has prac
tically perfected his plan of campaign.
From a thoroughly reliable source
the details of Jeffries' future move
ments were learned and are hereby
given. Jim, according to the present
order of things. is due to arrive in New
York during the first week in October.
Sam Berger will be at this end of the
gangblank waiting for Jeffries, and to-
gether the tow Californians will go i'm
mediately to Chicago where, it is said,
the final act in matching Jeffries and
Johnson will occur.
Johnson has said that he will go to
Chicago soon after his Ketchel fight.
Jeffries San Francisco agents learned
this much of the black champions
plans and communicated the same to
Jim. who at once advised that he would
be waiting in the Il WIZ city for
Johnson.
Every move on Jeffries' part from
the moment he lands in the United
States again will be such as to inspire
the confidence of the American public.
What Jeffries wants to do now is
to get the final set of articles signed
up Just as quickly as possible.
JefY Can Close Match In 80 Minutes.
So far as Jim is concerned the final
arrangements for the great heavy
weight match can be fixed up inside OF
thirty minutes after the two men get
inside of thirty minutes after the two
men get inside the same room. Thirty
or sixty days time will be given the

SUSPECT SIGNAL PLOT

Washington, Sept. 27.-There's a
growing suspicion among the White
Sox that somebody slipped their sig
mails to the Highlanders during the re-
cent disastrous visit of Sulliyans men
to the hilltop park. While resting
peacefully In the nations capital yester-
day the Chicago players gave vent to
their feelings on the subject which Just
at present is stirring up a lot of com
ment throughout the eastern cities OF
the circuit, especially in New York,
where Stallings' men have lately de-
veloped tremendous winning streak.

The Hammond and Gary high school
football teams had friendly practice
game at Harrison park in Hammond
Saturday afternoon, which resulted in
a score of SO to in favor of the
Hammond team.
The game will not be counted on the
regular schedule for the reason that
during both of the halves Coaches Wal
ter and Clyde Alice OF Hammond and
Coach Ross D. Netherton of Gary went
onto the field and instructed the play
ers in the play.
Frequently the game was stopped
after play and the respective teams
were informed of their errors and
were instructed as to the proper way
the play should have been made.

as the train stopped at Kewanee Papke
opened closed vestibule and was
stepping of the train when huge
colored porter put in his appearances
and tried TO force him to retrace his
steps. The black called Papke names
and though laden down with an over
coat and suit case. Papke resented
the remarks and then q desperate
struggle ensued.
The colored man did not follow
Queensberry rules, for he grappled
with the boxer and fastened both Of

two. Baird struck out twelve men.
while Grimes struck out only seven. No
errors are recorded on either side.
Manager Lucas OF the Hammond All
Stars was highly pleased. His aggre-
cation has lost a number of games this
season Of which he was pop sure until
he found the battery loaded. The
game yesterday was on the level. It
was practically all home grown ma
terial. He expected to get little side
bet out of the hacker for the To1leston
team, but this did not materialize.
The score for yesterdays game was
to 3, in favor of the Hammond All

KROH REPEATS DOSE;
TANES DOVES IN LAST

Cav" Kroh, the eminent cross-fre
expert, padded his hinging record yes
terday by topping the badly bent Bos-
tonese, 3 to 2, in a bleak and barren
encounter before a chilly populace
about 1900 strong.
1t was the final appearance of the
year for Dovey's bread winners, and as
a token Of esteem the Boston leader
sent his slab star Gig Curtis. to cope
with the Cubs. Beck in Delaware, O.,
Cliff is touted the one best in major
league circles and for eight stirring
rounds he lived right up to his record

BLIssMERs SHUT OUT.

Homer, twirler for the All Saints,
used the whitewash brush on the
Young Blissmers of West Hammond
yesterday afternoon at Harrison park
by shutting them out, 8 to 0.
The Young Blissmers were unable to
find Homer, who yielded only four
hits. Homer also whitfield twelve of
the Blissmers. while Krug famed six.
The game was witnessed by about
200 people. and at many times the
crowd was brought to their feet by
some exceptionally good playing by
both sides.
Homer was backed by good support
which in many instances helped in
kteping the Blissmers from scoring.

GROWN POINT TEAM WINS
ITS NINETEENTH GAME

wire for home run, chasing three
Pointers home ahead of him. Ham
mond's right fielder had some trouble
at this stage of the game in extricat-
ing necessary parts Of his uniform
from aforesaid wires and returned the
ball in time to see the scorer chalking
up six runs to the locals credit. The
sum and substance of the game was
that the Layers were unable to hit
Henning effectively and although
Schram retired fourteen Crown Point
batters by the fan-out route, their
FASTING of his presentations at oppor-
tune times made the score what 1T was
at the end Of the contest. The game
was not devoid of errors on either
side, but the Old Styles chalked up
enough to obliterate those the
Crown Point side of the sheet. The
features of the contest was the Old
Styles errors and the roofing of Mas
cot Jerry Bowman, who consigned the
detested Crown Points to the neither
most realms of the universe.

teams would not be fair, and even the
score does not give proper idea Of
the comparative strength of the
teams.
Practice Is Valuable.
Both of the coaches are Of the opin-
ion that in the absence of good second
teams to provide the necessary prac-
tice for the varsity" these practice
games are valuable.
The halves were OF 20 minutes dura-
ton, and the score at the end of the
first half was 16 to 0 in favor of Ham
mond. The day was an ideal one for
the game, and the members of both
teams are enthused over the pros
poets.

detail that possibly may be left over
will be the matter of definitely naming
the referee to of1ciate in the battle of

The question of referee for the big
battle opens up wide field for specu-
lation. have talked with both Man
ager McCarey and Manager Coffroth
during the past twenty-four hours and
find that the promoters are completely
at sea concerning this detail.
McCarey and Coffroth agreed that
there is a strong possibility that JEFF
fries may hold out for Charles F. Ey-
ton OF this city. 1.-THE natural objec-
ton that Johnson may have to Eyton's
acting as referee is that the latter is
residen of Jeffries home town." said
Coffroth. For my part should I be
lucky enough to land the fight for San
Francisco, would be perfectly willing
and glad to have Eyton act as the
third man. should Jeffries and johnson
agree upon him"
Three Candidates for Referee.
McCarey said: Il would be strongly
in favor of Eyton against all lothers,
but in a case of this kind the promo
ter will have to bow to whatever seIec-
ton the heavyweight principals may
make"
The question of geography win not
be regarded when the referee is named.
In my talk with Coffroth, the Colma
magnate said I'VE have at least three
men in San Francisco who have the
confidence of the public. Naturally,
| If I land the battle, I would like to
see a San Francisco man in the ring
with JEFF and Jack, but my wishes have
! little to do with the selection. I look
upon Otto Floto of Denver and Ed

one had stolen from the trunk bed
linen and $35 in cash that the mans
wife had managed to save without the

The theft was reported to Chief
