President Humphrey Returns

William F. Humphrey, president OF
the Olympic club. arrived yesterday
morning from a six weeks eastern trip.
during which he visited the New York,
Chicago, New Illinois and Crescent ath-
letic clubs. Although Humphreys trip
was made for personal business, he
found time enough to visit these clubs
and obtain ideas for the new Olympic
club house.
Il have visited these so called east
ern athletic clubs" he said, "and find
that there is not one that can compare
with our Post street institution The
clubs on the Atlantic side of the coun-
try socially are very fine. but In no
instance have found the good, healthy

the present time 80 architects are COM
out of that number we should get some
thing very fine. These plans must all
be in by February Is, when the club 3
building committee will select a COM
mittee of five engineers and architects
who shall select three Of the best de-
signs. These plans will then be sub
mitted to the club committee, or pos
sibly new outside committee that will
select the most suitable plan. At the
time these selections are being made
the committee will not know the names
of the architects drawing the plans. so
that every one will have an equal OPP
portunity and no favoritism VIII be
shown. All of the 80 plans will be
placed on public exhibition, where the
club members can criticise them and
lend advice to the building committee.
I'VE are going to have the best ath-
letic club building in the world and
develop athletes and clean amateur
sport of every kind. We have the spirit
and are bound to succeed. AS soon
as the plans are accepted and we can
ascertain, how much money is needed to
finance the project. / shall go east

Confirms Dates Arranged
by the "WaIlabieS"

W. Unmack who is managing the
Rugby games to be played in this
state, received cable message yes
terday from Manager j. Mcmahon of
the ''Wallabies," which confirmed the
dates arranged for the contests. Nc
Mahon says the team will cross the
continent from New York to this city
direct. The "Wallabies" are due here
Friday, February 5, and will play their
first game Saturday, February s,
against the University of California.
1t was at first thought that at least
one game could be arranged with the
"Wallabies" for the Los Angeles Rug
byites. butt owing to lack of time this
has been found impracticable.
Unmack also received word yesterday
that Pat Higgins, the crack Los An
geles wing three quarter, had gone
into active training. He is getting
every assistance from the Los Angeles
Rugby teams and several games are
being arranged in the southern city
to give Higgins every chance to be in
the best possible form.
Now that definite word has been re-
ceived from Mcmahon as to the Aus
tralians' arrival local arrangements in
regard to advertising the games and
other details will be pushed ahead rap

Jeffries Sigus for Long
Theatrical Tour

Jim Jeffries made up his mind last
night and formally signed for a Is
weeks theatrical tour with Ralph Pin
Gus and Sam Harris, proprietors OF the
Wigwam theater jeff has dozens of
other offers, but after considering them
all carefully he believed he could do
better with the local promoters than
anybody else. He will be under the
personal direction of Pincus and Har-
ris and he will take Sam Berger and
big Joe Kennedy with him as his spar
ring partners.
The big fellow has consented to APP
pear at the Wigwam for a second week.
beginning Sunday. For this he will
receive another $4,000. At the conclusion
of his local engagement, JEFF will re-
turn TO Los Angeles for a week to set
tie business affairs, after which he will
start out on his long theatrical jour-
ney.
Pincus intends to show the champion
In California for two weeks or more
and then start east. He hopes to arrive
in New York within six or eight weeks.
The circuit Will include every big city
In the country, and Pincus is making
arrangements to book the big fellow in
the best houses to be had. He hopes
to do a record breaking business with
JEFF.
Jeffries insisted on one clause in his
contract which leads his friends to be-
lieve that he will make up his mind
soon to fight Johnson. This reads that
If proper inducements are made. he
will be at liberty to end his theatrical
venture upon giving Pincus and Harris
due notice. Jeffries will work on per-
centage basis during the trip and fig
ures to make something like $4,000 a
week, IL not more. If the game keeps
on, he can pick up more money on the
stage than fighting half dozen John
sons, and incidentally run no risk of
soiling his great, unblemished ring
reputation.

OFFERS BIG PURSE
FOR A "CHAMP''
BATTLE
John L. Sullivan Ready to Hang
Up $4,000 for Fight Between
johnson and Jeffries
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

BOSTON, Jan. PA purse of $4,000
Is offered for a fight between Jack
Johnson and Jim Jeffries. John L.
Sullivan, the former champion, offers
the purse. This is no idle talk, Sulli-
van says. He means business. John L.
is ready to deposit the entire $4,000 IS
soon as he is assured that the fighters
will accept.
In a telegram received here today
Sullivan, who is in Washington, says
his manager, Frank Hall, is I'm with
him. The victory of Johnson did not
please Sullivan. When JEFF appeared
at a San Francisco theater in an ex-
hibition bout a few days ago John l..
read the reports of Jeffries condition
very carefully and he finally made up
Wis mind that the big fellow was shap-
ng himself with view to going after
ohnson's scalp.
1t was then that the idea occurred
to him to offer big purse for a fight
between Johnson and Jeffries. He CON
suited with his manager, Frank Hall.
and between them they decided to offer
$4,000. which is the largest amount
ever offered for the big white man and
the colored champion TO battle for.
