POWELL AND WOLGAST
IN LONG 60 TONIGHT
Coast Boxer Will Enter Ring
10 to z Favorite Over
Michigan Opponent.

San Francisco, Nov. 29.=Indica tfons
are that Dreamland rink will be packed
tonight when Lew Powell and Ad well
CAST step into the ring to discuss light
weight honors over the twenty round
route.
Already practically all the reserved
seats have been disposed of and appli-
cations are pouring in. Betting at the
headquarters OF Tom Corbett today was
brisker than at any time since tht
fighters began training Powelrs ad-
mirers were eager to get down conn
missions on the San Francisco boy at
10 to Z and Wolgast's hackers were
just as eager to accept them at that
price. quiet day was put in by both
fighters. Woigast did a little gymna-
SUM work in the afternoon.
The bout will be preceded by a ff-
teen round preliminary between Tommy
Mccarthy and Frank Smith. This bout
will go on at $40 o'clock and the main
event will follow an hour later VOL
CAST said today that he did not expect
to weigh more than 127 pounds when
he enters the ring. Powell is down to
131. but probably will be near the
limit when the gong sounds. Billy
Roche will referee.
Reports from Los Angeles are that
betting on the fighters is heavy. One
bet of 81 900 against 500 was made
there today and there were scores Of
smaller wagers.

by Dec, l whether there viii be a
Grand Prix race in France next year or
not and on the result Of the success
of the French race depends whether
there will be a grand prize race in
America. AS all of the leading French

were received by Nov, 80. It was gen
orally thought that the race would be
abandoned. Since last week highly
satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned. as already the entry list has
reached the number Of thirty-seven
competitors, representing thirteen diff

METEORS
fit ACROSS
IN A HURRY

The Windsor Park Meteors met and
defeated the basketball team repre-
senting the Hammond Athletic associa-
tion by the score of 81 to % at the
local gymnasium last Saturday even
ing
In view Of the fact that the basket
ball team that is to represent the ath-
letic association is only a green aggre-
gaion and has not played the game
together to any great extent, the show
Ing Saturday is satisfactory.
Incidentally the game developed a
star basket ball player for the local
team. Charles F. Pollard was put in
at right guard during the second half
and made an excellent showing.
The game was witnessed by a fair
sized crowd. and in view of the fact
that this is one of the preliminary
games Of the season the showing all
around was a satisfactory one.
The lineup of the two teams was as
follows.

braced himself by putting his toes I'M
der one of the rungs of Berger's chair
and then leaned backward until his
head almost touched the floor In this
position he went through several ain
utes of twisting and wriggling and his
exertions were so great that Berger
had all he could possibly do to hold
down his chair. Three short rounds
with the gloves with Berger followed.
Berger Is a big fellow who was re-
garded as heavyweight championship
timber until Al Kaufman spoiled his
aspirations. He boxed draw with
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien couple of
years ago and was heralded as the
cleverest big man produced in several
years. He looked slow beside Jeffries.
however.
Great Strength Apparent.
The latter was amazingly fast for a
big man. getting inside Berger's
swings and landing on his opponent at
will. There was enough realism in the
bout to convince followers of boxing
of Jeffrfes' ability. His great strength
was also apparent in the short set-to,
as he brushed Berger aside with ease.
At the finish Jeffries was apparently
as fresh as when he started, while
Berger was putting.
One OF the most convincing things
about Jeffries is his enormous bulk
After looking at champion wrestler
Gotch, big Jack Mccormick and other
athletes on the program there was a
general exclamation of pleasant sur
prise at the appearance of jeff as he
entered the ring. He Is by far the big
gest of them all, and he apparently has
little or no superfiuous flesh. He Is
big from his toes to the crown Of his
head. and after gazing on his lower
limbs 1t can be easily understood why
he has never been knocked off his feet
or to his knees Apparently ii would
take more than the kick OF a mule to
get Jeffries off that underpinning.
/ Fitzsimmons, in his prime regarded as
the hardest hitter the ring ever saw,
broke his hands on Jeffries' jaw, but
never could upset him.
i Jeffries made a short speech. in
which he said he was sure the cham
pionship would be where 1t belonged
after he got through with Johnson.
More than a hundred Chicago sports
came out to Hammond to give a rous-
| ing reception to Jefries.
A special train conveyed the sports
/ to Hammond and back. The start was
scheduled for o'clock yesterday after
noon In the lineup were Billy Nc

Eddie Graney wants to stage the
Jeffrfes-J johnson fight in the hear of

day on his way to New York, where he

This is an immense advantage over
