After tie fifth game this year it was

San Francisco, Nov. 26.-The Pa
cific Coast baseball league held the
opening meeting of it's annual session
at the ST. Francis hotel and the most
important business which came up for
discussion was the selection of presl-
dent. After many hours of debating to
name the successor of J. Cal Ewing,
who has held office during the last
term, the directors finally voted for
Judge Thomas F. Graham, as a COM
promise candidate.
There was considerable friction as to
the man who would head the league.
A majority Of the directors were in
favor of Ewing remaining at the head
of the organization, and he could have
had the job, but ne was firm in his
refusal to serve another term. Ewing
has stated all along that he would not
allow his name to go up for renomina-
ton, and that he was in favor of an
of an outsider. He carried his point.

club was represented by Frank Ish,

NOTRE Dame and
MARQUETTE tied

Milwaukee, Nov. 26.-Nothing to
nothing, was the result today Of the
football between Marquette and Notre
Dame universities for the football
championship Of the west In one Of
the most desperate battles ever fought
on a western gridiron the teams bat
tied two thirty five minute halves and
the game ended with the ball a scant
ten yards from Marquette's end Of the
field in Marquette's possession.
The second half was fought desper-
ately as the first and that is saying
all that could be said of the great
battle. AT the beginning Of the Sec
ond half Marquette was playing con-
stantly in Notre Dame territory but
near the end of the half Notre Dame
managed to hold most Of the play
in Marquette's end Of the field. Many
changes Of players were made as the
game drew near the close but the
game was practically without injury
to any player.

any more than Jack Johnson who used
to box potboilers with Joe Jeanette
and Sandy Ferguson is the Johnson
of the present time.
Jeffries was a club heavyweight
when he boxed both Gus Rubin and
Tom Sharkey for the first time. He
lacked finish and he lacked confidence
He had not learned how to take care
of his hands, and he came away from
the ring in those years with his fists
swollen and painful.
In his first fight with Rubin I saw
him take a crack on the jaw from the
bigger man and go scurrying around
the ring in a paniclSy fashion. He was
more surprised than damaged.
In his second go with Gus. he de-
liberately left an opening for a body
smash-inviting the assault, in fact
and grinned derisively at Billy AEad+-
den after taking 1t. It WAS the diff
ference between Jeffries the novice
and Jeffries the experienced, confident
fighter
In his second fight with Sharkey he
showed better punching ability than
in the first. Those who saw ythe az

teenth round, and the havic he
wrought was palpable to any one who

remaining before the formalitv of

ana Jimmy Coffroth, the publicity
seekers the country ever, have offered
the tidy little sum OF $1,000, 900 and, il
the telegraph wires hold out, the prob
abilities are that this sum will be
doubled or trebled before the time
limit expires. Early last night 1t
looked as IL the amount offered would

calamity by coming forward with a
modest offer of 1925 1000.

have made IL a billion and broken into

have cost no more, for If the reports
from the East are to be credited the

PENNSY Won AGAIN
FROM CORNELL

Philadelphia, Nov. rs. - wallowing
and sliding around on field that was
several inches deep with mud. slush. ice
and pools of water, the University of
Pennsylvania football team defeated
Cornell in the annual game on Frank
lin field, II to s. 1t was a poorly
played game, witnessed by 10000 per-
sons.
Neither side could make any great
gains by carrying the ball and punting
was largely resorted to.
Cornell kicked off. Pennsylvania
failed to make any gains on the ice and
punted. The kick was returned by
Cornell, and getting the ball on a
tumble, the Ithacans started in to ham
mer the Pennsylvania line. Cornell
easily carried the ball over the line.
Robb made the touchdown and O'Con-
nor kicked goal
The Pennsylvanians then pulled
themselves together. Securing the ball
in Cornell territory on a tumble, fol-
lowing punt Pennsylvania started in
to buck center. Cornell was slowly
pushed back. With five yards to gain
the ball was given to Fullback Rams
dell and he was pushed over for a
touchdown. Braddock kicked goal
Score to 6.
Pennsylvania, in the second half, by
steady line bucking, pushed Half
back Irwin over for Pennsylvania's
second touchdown. Braddock kicked
goal.
The last score was the result Of a
blocked kick. Hutchinson for PennsyI-
vania had punted to Corner's five-yard
line and in attempting to kick out from
the goal line Simpsons punt was block
ed by Heilman of Pennsylvania. He'll
man darted after the ball and fell on
the pigslxin before a Cornell man
could tacke him. The touchdown was
made well to one side of the field and
the punt out for a try at goal was
fumbled.

The JEFF-JOHNSON
fight HARD TODOPE

w. W. Naughton writes: "You can't
dope fighters" says an old sporting
adage.
But there's no law against trying.
argues the student of things pugilis-
tic, when the warning is repeated.
For the benefit of the newest of the
new among boxing fans, it may be
mentioned that it isn't the claim that
the men of the ring are immune
against knockout drops or other con-
coctions that put medicine people to
sleep. What mean is that you can't
get reliable line on a pair Of pros
pective opponents by noting the way
each of them has performed with the
other men of his class.
Prize ring form is full of contra
dictions. Jack beats Bill. Bill pulver-
ICES Tom, and Tom turns round and
makes Jack look like a farmers lad.
But, as the student says, trying to
