JEFFRIES COMING.
Will Be Here Tomorrow With Good
Athletic COMPANY.

Jim Jeffries and Frank Gotch will be
here tomorrow night with their combina-
ton of athletes and give their athletic
vaudeville show at Convention Hall.
Outside of the appearance of the two
great worlds champions, the other num-
bers of a varied program will be well
worth seeing. but naturally the center OF
interest is the big boilermaker.
What Is his condition and what are his
chances Of putting away Johnson when
the two meet in the ring are questions
that come from the lips of every adher-
ent Of the pugilistic sport in Washington,
and they are looking forward to the
chance of deciding for themselves.
The many different stunts that will be
gone through by the big fellow tomorrow
night will give them ample opportunity to
get a line on his condition. In a twenty
five-minute act called I'm the Gymna-
sum-" he skips the rope, works the pull
leys, punches the bag, goes through the
tedious chair exercises and finishes up
with an illustration of blows that have
put away his opponents of the past.

NEW YORK December . q p.m.).-In
anticipation of the definite announcement
of when and where the Jeffries-Johnson

of the world is to be held crowd of
notable sporting men again assembled at

Before the final announcement of the

promoters and sporting men gene; any
were of the opinion that TEX Richard
of Nevada, in conjunction with John j.
Gleason of California, would be the WIN
ner by his bid of a purse OF S1Ol,Oo

Other bids were considered better by
some, particularly that of tom NC

Coffroth and the triple alliance of Rick
ard Gleason and Cofroth was counted
as too strong for outsiders like McCarey

Richard said today that Cof1roth hau
offered to bet him 81 900 that he, Richard

sage to San Francisco last night, deciar-
ing that Richard had been awarded the

is taken as an indication that Murphy is
ready to drop John NJ. Ward, who has
been his candidate for Heydler's job.
OBriens name was mentioned for the
position when change was first sug-
gested by Murphy. The strong stand
taken by President Hermann of Cincin-
natl and Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg
against syndicate ball caused Murphy to
sit UP and take notice, following as it
did the sale of the Philadelphia club, in
which Murphy is believed to have played
a silent part. Horace Fogel, the new
president of the Phillies, still refuses to
make public the names of his. hackers i'll

Murphy and his hacker. Charles 2. Taft
of Cincinnati. did not put up dollar in
the deal it looks as though the election of
Ieydler Is assured.

feasible reason why Heydler should be

age the Phillies is as yet unsettled. Be-
sides King, others mentioned are Fred
Lake, Harry Wolverton and Monte Cross
not to mention Billy Murray, who insists
that his contract with the club for 1910
is valid.
1t is even limited in Phillie that there is
a lurking suspicion that Fogel may en-
deavor to pilot the team from the bench
as he did the Giants In 1902. AS proof of
this Fogel is quoted as saying that he

DEMAREST'S FINISH
TOO MUCH FOR Cline
Westerner Wins 500 to 388 in
Three-Cornered Tie for the
Billiard Title.

NEW YORK, December calvin De-
marest put a crimp in the championship
aspirations of Harry Cline last. night In
their match Of the three-cornered tie with
George Sutton for the 1872 balk line cham
pionship at Madison Square Garden Con

through superb finish by a score of 500
to 3sS. 1t took Demarest an even twenty
innings to get the upper hand
From the beginning the result was in
doubt Both players gave clever exhibit
tons of the game and made many diff
ficult shots on the green plateau. De-
marest jumped into the lead In the
ninth and held it until the eighteenth
inning. when he surrendered. But In
the next two innings Demarest han 100,
completing his string.
They broke badly for Demarest at the
start, and while Cline did no phenomenal
work in the first seven innings, a galaxy
of 10 in the eighth topped Demarest by
10 to IS. Cline didn't display much or MS
reputed nervousness when he made his
run of IS. On the contrary, he showed
himself a master at the balk line game
and nursed the balls along the table sides
and back and forth and up and down
the green baZe.
In the inning following Demarest came
into his own with a run Of los. The for
mer amateur displayed some clever bill
lizards in the run which jumped him into
the lead. All kinds of shots seemed the
same to him until he missed his Tooth shot.

Coffroth in With Gleason.

The Coffroth-Gleason propositions made
the fight fans stare bit harder An Of
fer OF $4,000 was made on the basis
that all privileges be given the promoters.
On acceptance of this the bidders assured
the stakeholder that 10000 would be de-
posted at once. A purse OF $4,000 and
twO-thirds of the picture rights was an
other offer to the fighters. Eighty per
cent of the gross receipts and two-thlrds
of the picture interests was also In the
series of propositions from the new firm.
There was no serious attention paid

senting Hugh d. Mcintosh, who had
grading scale of prices for battles In the
United States, England, France or Aus
traIia The names of G. L. (''Tex.'')
Richard and John j. Gleason were signed
to the next startling evidences of the
value of the battle. A purse of 100000
and wo-thirdS of the receipts from pic
ture displays was followed by an oher
of the gross receipts and one-third of
the pictures for a fight in Ely, New; Salt
Lake City or California.
Thomas j McCarey's bid for the Pacific
Athletic Club received consideration. He
offered a purse of $4,000 and half the
profits of the pictures on condition that
he had entire charge of the display Of
the latter.
If awarded the fight, Kickard and Glea-
son promised to post $4,000 within sixty
days and the remaining amounts of the
purse forty-eight hours before the fight.
McCarey declared that promoters were
taking greater chances than the fighters.
A guarantee of good faith to the extent
of $500 forfeit by each of the principals
was Graneys idea of d reasonable bust
ness move.
In the discussion of the bids there were
many additional hints by the rival pro-
motors. McCarey thought action should
be taken before leaving the hall. Johnson
raised laugh and applause by comment

highly educated to get all those figures

GOOD GAME ON CARDS.
Georgetown Props and Western
High CUNTS Will Meet Tomorrow.

Judging from the results of the games
in which the Georgetown Prep and
Western High School quints have figured
during the past week, the battle between
the two scheduled to take place tomorrow
afternoon In the Ryan gymnasium should
be we'll worth witnessing. Every year
these two f1ves have clashed in a series
of three games. and usually the District
championship has fallen to one or the
other. Despite the fact that Business
High claims to have the best team
in years. the general opinion is that one
or the other of the West End quints will
finally land the title. and hence tomor-
rows battle in all probability will gain
additional Importance from its relation
toward the awarding of the scholastic
honors.
With Todd playing a phenomenal game
at one forward and Mallan doing we'll at
the other, Leech holding down center,
Tanner performing cons silently at right
back and McCandish starring at the other
guard, the Red and White aggregation
was able to outclass completely the
Washington School for Boys team last
Tuesday. AS this same combination will
be used against the Hilltoppers. there is
every reason to believe that the chances
for high school victory are good. al
though the embryo collegians are by no
means to be considered lightly.
The victory of the Blue and Gray at
Fort Myer yesterday. when Capt. Muir
phys youngsters scored decisive con-
quest over the soldiers, has given the
Hilltoppers all kinds of confidence. and
they will start the contest with their
netghboring rivals having high hopes OF
successful ending. The team will start
the same as It did at the army post, al
though a substitution may be made at a
later stage Of the event.
Yesterdays victory was mostly due to
excellent goal shooting, In which Trum-
bull. Loehl and Murphy all showed UP
to advantage. The guarding was also
Of a classy order, as will be attested by
the small number of two-pointers credited
to the losers in what was a very open
game. The playing of Capt. Bunnell and
McLane of the fort quint was superior to
the work OF their less experienced team
mates.

arrangement.
He believes the National League wants
