GRAHAM PRESIDENT
OF COAST LEAGUE
San Francisco Man Chosen to Succeed
J. Cal Ewing as President of Pa
cifc Coast organizaton-ls
Compromise Candidate

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-Super-
ior Judge Thomas f. Graham of this
city was elected president of the Pa
cifc Coast Baseball league tonight
after many other candidates names
had been presented.
Judge Graham was accepted by the
directors as a compromise candidate.
The others mentioned to succeed Cal
Ewing as head of the league were
Fielder A. Jones. Harrison Allen and
George Robertson, all of Portland, and
William Lang of this city.
The directors adopted resolution in
answer to an offer from the North
western league concerning the Port
land territory declaring that the terri
tory was not for sale at any price 1t
was also decided that the number OF
clubs in the league would be the same
as last year and the discussion OF the
future of the Portland territory occu-
pied the meeting to the exclusion OF
the election of the other officers.
The only other action taken by the
directors was the awarding of the PEN
nant to the San Francisco club.

DETROIT AND NAMPA
CLUBS AFTER FIGHT
Mcintosh Secures option on Immense
English ltheater-Berger
Favors Offer of Idaho
Club

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-More new
offers for the Jeffries-Johnson fight
have been received. The Detroit club
Of Cripple Creek, Colo, in a letter
written by c. b. Jones, declared that
1t will offer 100000 for the fight, to be
held in Cripple Creek July 4. The let
ter states that Ross Williams, a
wealthy mining man there, will give a
bonus of $25,000 to the fighttrs If the
offer is accepted within thirty days.
Some weight is attached to the bid
by the Nampa Athletic club of Idaho,
which offers 100000 as purse and
900 to each pugilist as a present "if
Governor James II. Brady of Idaho
permits the battle"
Sam Berger, manager for Jeffries, is
inclined to believe that Governor
Brady's consent can be had, but it is
understood that In Idaho there is an
entirely different opinion among re-
formers, who say they will fight to the
last to prevent a prize fight of any
kind.
Hugh D. Mcintosh is very sincere in
his offer of $4,000 for the fight to be
held in England, whert he is under
stood to have secured an option on the
Olympia, an immense arena in London.
But bouts of more than twenty rounds
are not permitted in England. Johnson
has said he will not ight in Australia,
and Jeffries will not fight in England,
so it looks gloomy for Mcintosh.

TWO THOROUGHBREDS
WILL ARRIVE TODAY
Dan Patch, 1855, and Minor Heir
1859 IA, Reach Angel City This
Afternoon--Race Thanks
giving Day

Dan Patch, 1855, worlds champion
PAGER and Minor Heir, 1;5sh, Will ar
rive in their special box car today di-
rect from the recent territorial fair
held at Phoenix, accompanied by hVe
other horses, all owned by n. w. saw
age of Minneapolis.
NJ. e. Harrison is representing Saw
age and has entered the two great
horses in exhibition races at Agrl-
cultural park Thanksgiving day, in
which Minor Heir will attempt 10
lower the worlds record. Minor
Heirs record of 1:59A is the world s
record for an unpaced mile and with
out the windshield.
This will be the first appearance of
the worlds greatest PAGER, Dan Patch'
on the Pacific coast, and his racing
Thanksgiving day will undoubtedly at
tract a great deal of attention not
only from purely horsemen, but also
from all who are in the least inter-
ested in speed and action.
In the string are two Dan Patch
nllies, Rena, a 4-year-old that has
never been raced, and has made the
mile in the fast time of 2:06. the latter
half being made in 1:0l. This re-
markably fast animal is entered in
the grand circuit next year. Hal Ra-
ven, the blind mare, Is a recent ad-
dition TO the stable and was bought
at Phoenix. Her mark of 2:0Sh was
made at Columbus.
The string started out eighteen
weeks ago on what was to have been
an eight weeks trip but owing to the
numerous engagements continually
being booked the trip will be continued
indefinitely.

.ES7OPPEY IS AFTER
BACKER WITH $500
ReinwaId and Swiss Runner VIII Sign
for Race to San Diego, Pro-
vlded Estoppey Raises
Coin

PASADENA, Nov. 15.-Paul Rein
wald and Eugene Estoppey, the long
distance runners, will sign articles OF
agreement for a match race providing
Estoppey can raise 500 before Thurs
day at noon Reinwald has planked
down his 500 side bet, and now it Is
up to Estoppey TO produce IKE
amount of coin. Charles Moody OK this
city is the stakeholder.
The men met yesterday at noon to
discuss the proposed race. Estoppey
challenged Reinwald for race TO san
Diego and Reinwald, who holds several
worlds records for mountain climbing
accepted. He suggested that round
trip race to San Diego would prove To
be a greater test of endurance, and
that If that failed TO please the Swiss
marathon runner that three round
trips up the rugged side of Mount VIII
son ought to. Reinwald is willing to
race the big Swiss anywhere or any
time, providing he puts up suitable
side bet.
Estoppey is not rated very high by
Dun or Bradstreet, and he said that
ReinWald might have as we'll asked
for a S1,000,O00 side bet as SlOO. 1t
seems that Mrs. Estoppey carries the
family wad and that Estoppey Is the
head of the family by courtesy.
Estoppey, however, will never quit
running until he is laid away in the
sod, and he is determined to cover
Reinwald's side bet some way or other.
He is looking for some one to back
him in the race. ReinWald has given
him until Thursday noon to cover his
bet. otherwise negotiations win be de-
clared off.
Both men are well-known athletes.
Last winter Estoppey ran to San
! Diego, going the entire distance in a
heavy downpour and suffering all
manner of hardshlps. He made the
trip in four days, which is considered
remarkable. as the roads were almost
knee deep with mud. He has run in
| a number of marathon races.
Reinwald is one of the most famous
mountain climbers in the world, hold
! ing records in Europe as well as the
| United States. He holds a diamond
| studded medal presented to him by
! Richard x. Fox, the Police Gazette
| publisher, for his feats of endurance.
! His latest accomplishment was per-
| formed several weeks ago when he
climbed six peaks in twenty-five hours.

BEACH DIAMOND WILL
SURPASS ALL OTHERS
Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce
Approprlates $500 for Improve
ment of Ball Park

REDONDO BEACH, Nov. 15.-Re-
dondo Beach will have one of the best
ball grounds in the southern part of
the state when the present plans for
improvement are carried out The
chamber of commerce at a recent meet
ing appropriated $500 to be expended
in transforming the athletic field at
Guadalupe and Catalina streets into
an up p-to-date park in every particular.
Workmen will begin at once on the
construction of high fence to sur
round the ball ground and also
grandstand that will be capable of seat
ing at least 1000 people. The present
grandstand is entirely too inadequate
to seat the crowds who have been at
tending the games this season.
The diamond will be scraped and
rolled and many minor Improvements
made. The appropriation for this work
was made at the solicitation of local
baseball enthusiasts.

DOCK WORKERS ON
STRIKE AT PAPEETE
First Labor Trouble at the Tahitian
City Occurs When Big Liner
Mariposa Arrives at
Harbor

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Nov. 2, via San
Francisco, Nov. 15.-This place ex-
perienced it's first strike when the dock
laborers refused to discharge and load
the Mariposa. 1t was only by secur-
ing the services of a gang of women ut
the last minute that the liner got away
on schedule time.
The strike continues in spite of the
Importation of new men, who join the
strikers as soon as they arrive. 1t was
brought about by the increase in the
cost of living here, which in turn was
due to a change in the local currency.
Chilian currency, which has been the
medium of trade here, was thrown out
of circulation by an edict from the
Chinese dealers refusing to longer ac-
cept it. At one blow a change was
made in the currency system that the
government had attempted for fifty
years to institute.
The French gunboat Zelee, which has
been performing guardship duties in
the French possessions in the South
Pacific for the last nine years, has re-
ceived orders to proceed to Sydney, N.
S. W., for repairs. 1t is believed the
Zelee will be sent back to France or
to some other station and that she will
not be replaced.
