ON PLATE NOT
THERE FOR ORNAMENT

Dusty RhOades, the clever pitcher
of the Cleveland club, boasts of having
lost mighty few arguments on the
bail field. 1t was his great delight
to get into an argument with Tim
Hurst, and battles of wit between the
two were common occurrences.
One day last summer Rhoades was
pitching against St. Louis and Tim
was working behind the bat. Things
were not breaking any zoo well FOR
Dusty, and, according to Tins ruling,
his control was very much Oshkosh.
After passing two men in succession he
walked half way up to the plate and
remarked TO the pOrtly ump:
Say. Tim. are you aware Of the fact
that there are some corners on that
plate2"
Eyes. I am aware of that fact, MT.
Rhoades," replied Tim, and allow me
to impress on you the fact that they
are there for purpose"
Il beg your pardon answered
Dusty, i'm a tone full of sarcasm, Il
was just beginning to think that you
believed them purely ornamental"
Dusty hurried back TO the box and
failed to hear what Tim had to say
about having seen better pitching in

OLD TRAINER

New York, Dec. 14.-Big Bob Arm
strong. who always trained with jeff

than any of the sparring horses, has
arrived from the coast Bob believes
that Jeff viii surprise a lot of people
q can't understand where folks set
the idea that Johnson is going to run
away with the Jeffries match. he
said. Jeff has always made good.
He's a great fighter. and If it comes
to q question of who's been leading
gay life I am inclined to think that
Johnson has been the offender against
good condition. There is no reason
why jeff shouldn't still be as good as
ever. He was always so far above
the rest that it isn't likely that he has
fought his last good fight, particu-
larlv as he retired when great.
Jeff looks soft now, Of course. But
you wait until he gets out there in
the mountains and gets TO climbing.
Those Old muscles of his viii harden

new experience i'm this fight 1t will
he the first time that he Will be cllnch-
ing and tueging with a man bigger
than himself He will stall and tin

ing to be TuctiUnS. Jeff doesn't like
to fight. He's like Tommy Ryan.
Neither man relished going into the
ring, but when either of them got in
there, then there was trouble.
There never was gamer man than
Jeff. and he viii fight like a demon
when he meets johnson. He may be
mad but until he collapses Mr.. John
son is going to have an the fight
that le can attend 40.

terrible mistake when they told him TO

1T was bad generalsbip to think that
a naturally rough and-ready fellow
like little steve could outlook a mas

BALRED At
DEATH PROVISIONS
Said He Would Be Very Much Alive
When Fight Arrived-Ring-
side Seats to Be 500.

New York, Dec 14.-When the final
business articles Of agreement, signed
by Jeffries, Johnson, their representa-
tives and promoters alike. were pre-
scented to Jack Johnson for his pc
rusal, the big black discovered two
clauses in them that made MIN turn
almost white. In that portion OF the
agreement covering the distribution
and handling of the money by stake
holder big Tim sullivan, there ap-
peared the following clause.
In the event of the death Of Jack
Johnson before July e. 1910, these
agreements and contracts are null and
void, and whatever money Johnson has
deposited shall be turned over to
George Little" Another clause read
In the event of the death of George
Little before the fourth day OF july.
1910, and providing Jack Johnson full
fills his part of this agreement ana
boxes James j. JeffTies, all moneys due
and picture returns shall be turned
over to Titles heirs"
Johnson came up out of his chair
like a typhOOn when he read the pas
sages. He wouldn't listen TO any argu-
ment advanced for their remaining in
the final articles. Johnson declared
that he had no notion of dying before
independence day, and he considered
the Objectionable clauses as the worst
kind of "hOOdOO." Finally pen was

JEFF AGAIN AROUSED TO ANGER
THIS TIME PROMOTER MCAREY DID II

Los Angeles, Dec. 1f.-Jim Jeffries has
spoken and the great white champion
voice can be iikened unto the roar of the
jungle lion. In a telegram sent TO his
Los Angeles business partner, Jack Kip
per. he hands out a bHsteTing indictment
against Promoter r. j. DICCarey. He calls
the local fight magnate hard names. and
when Jim resorts to this stand it is safe
to say that the big fellow is thoroughly
aroused.
The Jeffries telegram which was re
ceived here at noon yesterday reads as
follows:
Rochester y. Y, Dec. y. Jack kipper,

says there is something crooked about the

RAISE VALUE OF STAKES

New York, Dec. 14.-Tidings of great
JOY will come to the hOrsemen Of
America with the advent Of the new
year. On January the Coney Island
Jockey club viii close eighteen stakes
to be run for during its June meeting.
The Brooklyn Jockey club VIII have
thirteen stakes to close on the same

the spring meeting viii equal the num-
Der of the Sheepshead Bay track. In
October five of the events which Will

have a guaranteed value Of S103,5OO-
a fine racing plum for horsemen to be-
gin the next racing season with.
That the racing associations are
well pleased with the patronage of last
season these lists attest. Both jockey
clubs have. increased their offerings
and added TO the value of many of their
events The Brooklyn Jockey club list
shows four more stakes than last year.
As an instance OF the BELIEF OF the
turf authorities that the future of rae
ing has bright outlook the Brooklyn
and Suburban handicaps have jumped

Suburban was worth $1,000, guaran-
teed, and the Brooklyn was worth the
same. Next year each has a value of
IS 600 While these two events are
best known to the racegoing public, the
greatest increase i'm values is shown in
the Great Trial and the Double Event
to be run over the Sheepshead Bay
course. Last season Daimatian, the
big twO-year-old colt owned by Sam

|. D. S. SHOWS CLASS
BY DEFEATING GRANITE

The L. d. S. [. basketball team
swamped the Granite High school squad
Tuesday afternoon by defeating them by
a score of 81 to s. The game was played
in the l.. =. S. gymnasium. The saints
played better ball. and knew just little
bit more about the finer points OF the
game than did their husky opponents
from the school in the county. I'm the
contest the best men from both schools
were. seen in action for the first time this
season, and during the first half the
spectators saw "a pretty exhibition Of the
game.
Granite started off well and scored four
baskets The Saints however, kept stead
ily on and time after time the sphere was
shot with rapidlty from the field into the
basket with skill. Try as they might, the
Granite players could not get around the
superb guarding of the /. D. s, boys. At
the END OF the first half the score stood "a
to { i'm favor of the Saints.
Granite came back strong i'm the sec
Ond half with almost new lineup, but
were again unable To cope with their op-
pOnents. They made their final rally
however, during the middle of the halT
when they ran up a score of four, making
their total of baskets eight while Coacn
TaylOrs boys kept right at it, shooting
the balls into the baskets. in the saint
aggregation are some very good men,
with Lindsay, the former Weber acad-
envy star. and Cannon Luud, the veteran
Of the team, playing brilliant bali. The
passing and guarding of Lindsay was
clever, while Kessier and Briggs also
pulled off some good plays.
Coach Taylor of the l. ID. S. squad was
well pleased over the outcome, this con-
test being the first game his team has
played this season. Coach Moss of the
Granite high, on the other hand conceded
that his team was beaten fairly. being
handicapped by lack of training. On the
Granite team are some good men, namely
LcggTOan, Hampton and MaCkay. The
