Jeff Is Pleased

New York, Oct. 3-Jeffries showed
considerable enthusiasm regarding the
match when informed of Johnson's words
in Chicago
Il only hope" he said. that johnson
means what he says in this Chicago in
teTview, which the papers are printing.
He is quoted as ready to sign articles
at once and willing to fight within thirty
days. OF course. it would be impossible
to pun the fight off within thirty DAYS
and Johnson is eXaggerating a little when
he mentions so early a date. But if he
wants to sign up in a hurry, he will
find me ready to met him half way. The
truth is, l am eager to get crack at
Johnson"
Jeffries took things easy after his five
miles or so Of road work yesterday with
Sam Berger. his manager. He passed
most of the day in chats with visitors
and friends Tomorrow he plans to paw
a visit to Cooper's gymnasium for a thor
Ough workout
Jim Coffroth, the San Francisco fight
promoter, reached town today. Later in
the week he hopes to show Jeffries and
Johnson that COlma is the only place ~
the world for the fight to be held. He
will not present his formal bid until after
articles of agreement have been signed.

Jeffries also owes most Of his big purses
to CoffrOth. In 1902 his fight with Gus
Rubin drew $4,000; that with Bob Fitz-
simmons. in 1903, $4,000; with Jim Cor
bett in 1903. $4,000, while in 1904 the Jack
Munro fight drew $4,000
Coffroth's plan when he started east,
as outlined by those to the promoter,
was to offer the fighters 20 per cent of a
house guaranteed to be 100000, and
third interest each to Jeffries and john
son in the moving pictures. The pictures,
it is said, would be worth at least $500. 900,
of which COffTOth would retain a third.
With his supposed influence over John
son. which is SAID to have induced the
negro to promise CoffrOth that he should
have the big fight, and his previous sue
cesses with Jeffries, sporting men here
say that COffrOth has the fight landed as
soon as binding articles are signed by

that he would leave Thursday for New

heavyweight championship battle to Ala
media, a suburb of San Francisco, where
the Bay Shore Athletic club, he said,

as his hackers AL White and J. J. Ian

Sporting men here generally think 1t a

will be the favored one among the many
striving for this fight. COffrOth through
his evident friendship for johnson, it IS
stated, enabled the negro to pocket about
$4,000 as his share of the recent clash
with Ketchel. Many of the other fights

Coach Day Too Late.

When Coach Maddox was told that
Benere Grant had beer rei- stated he
said: = cannot imagine such an action
of the faculty. 1t simply means that
they waited until we did not need Grant
and then reinstated him. Had Grant been
in the game, from the fact that he has
had considerable experience, I feel that
our chances would have been better. As
it is, the action is next to useless, and
the faculty can take the results for them
selves
When asked If Grant would play for the
remainder of the season Maddox said:
In the first place. if I were Grant
would not play. In the second place,
/ do not think / will have him play.
Ny reasons for this are: The
hardest game Of the seeson, in when
we needed Grant, the faculty still held
him ineligible. We now have no more
real hard games, and consequently I think
we can get along. Then, If Grant goes
in for the remainder Of the season It
viii mean that his college career as a
football man viii end. as he will have
played his four years This I do not
think would be a square deal, as Grant
IS wonder, and could make good on
any university team where the faculty
would allow him to play"

An Illustration Of the ''pound foolish,
penny wise proposition developed in con-
nectiOn with the racing at Buena Vista
yesterday. A few days ago Jockey Pauley
was suspended by the judges for the re-
maildeT of the local meeting on the
ground of utter incompetency. W. T
Jones. however, importuned the judges
to lift the ban against Pauley. who. it
seems, is under engagement to the owner
of DR.. Hollis, and his request was granted
but with the prOvisO that the boy would
not be permitted to ride Yankee Tourist.
Pauley made his temperance in the sad
die on DR.. Hollis and signalized the event
by losing a race that a competent rider
would have won with the aged son of
Macy, incidentally burning up the money
bet on the geldng. 1t undoubtedly cost
Owner Jones $50 to ride Pauley, but his
presence in the saddle saved the books
considerable money, as DR.. Hollis was the
best horse and also the best played horse
in the race

important in the history of the local rae
ing organization to date developed yes

J. H. Hackett of a 20 per cent interest
in the club. The transaction is one of
much significance from the fact that

mia, is not only one of the most widely
known turfmen in the country but as
