BOXERS, HELD
Engaging in Fake Prize
Fighting Charged.

Harry Forbes. who was once cham
pion bantam weight of the world. was
arrested yesterday. with his brother,
William Forbes, and Edward Dunno. a
boxing promoter, on the charge of OPP
Grating a fake prize fight. The men
were arrested in downtown saloon.
Harry Forbes was formerly consid-
cred the best man of his weight in the
country, and in St. Louis, in 1904,
when he was supposed to be knocked
out by Abe Attell in a bout in which
Forbes was under the management OF
Al Lippe, who now handles Attell, he
showed some skill as boxer. When
questioned by Lieutenant Cudmore
both the Forbes boys and Dunno said
they did not know why they had been
arrested.
Several years ago Harry Forbes and
Clarence were considered almost un-
beatable.

Returns to the Ring.
WILL DEPART THIS MORNING
Al Kaufman Sends One of His
Periodical Challenges to
Box jim.

Il won't go back to the ring unless
I hav plenty OF time to get into per-
feet condition. But If | ever do / will
knock Johnson's head on"
This was the statement made by
James ]. Jeffries. retired heavy weight
champion of the world, who reached
Chicago yesterday and who is now
quartered at the Auditorium Annex
He will remain until nearly noon to-
day and will then depart for New York
where he will fill a theatrical engage
ment. He will return three weeks
hence.
Jeffries was accompanied by his wife
and Sam Berger, the former amateur
heavy weight champion of the world.
Berger won his title at the Olympic
games in st. Louis in 1904 during the
Louisiana purchase exposition.
Jefries seemed in good shape, con-
sfdering the amount Of talk that has
been spread about his excess OF fat,
and has deep. rudy brown in his
cheeks which seems to indicate that
he is in fair trim He was introduced
from the stage of the American Music
Hall yesterday and was greeted with
wild applause.
We are simply taking our time.
said Sam Berger JEFF has to get back
into trim. and I don't see any reason
why Jeffries should pay any attention
to Johnson's claims that he is the
champion. Jim never was beaten. He
retired from the ring undefeated.
don't see where that gives johnson
any right to cut in and claim that he
has the title. Who gave 1t to Burns
anyway He never beat anybody foi
it that had right to hang a handle
to his name-"
Jeffries himself seems to take the
whole pugilistic situation rather phil.
osophically.
My hands are in first class shape,
he said, and Sam Berger and myself
are training a couple Of hours every
day. l don't claim to be in the bes
of shape just at present. but I car
| round into trim once more. l Intend
to make quite stay here on the re
turn trip from the east"
Al Kaufman sent one of his regula
challenges to box Jeffries by way O
Billy Delaney. The message was sen
from Los Angeles, and Al said that h,
wants to put up $4,000 on the side
Jeqries simply smiled and said that h,
would take his own time about answer
ing.

There was not much doing at the
Monon depot IN Hammond last night.
And yet the Cubs. those doughty
champs. went through town.

show up.
However. Chicago's Cubs started
last night after their third worlds
championship and fourth National
league pennant-
Led by Manager Chance and cheered
by a small crowd of ardent fans, the
first flight of the Cubs got away at
9 o'clock for West Baden. Ind. There
were few pyrotechnics and only 9
small round of cheers for the cham
pions, who gathered quietly at the Polk
street station, climbed aboard their
special car and opened the campaign
in which they hope to bring back to
Chicago another couple of pennants.
Although Chance had sent orders all
around. only nine of the athletes made
the start. In the party. however. were
| the matnstay of the champions. Brown,

posed the pitching STAFF, and Archer

Y, to West Baden already and PfiesteI
