the initial sack. The battery to be
used tomorrow will not be known I'M

With the additional new players,

BY II. e. X.


San Francisco, Cal, June 1.-THE
prize fighting industry in San Francisco
hung a mark on the governor and the
attorney general today in it's fight for
existence, but this cannot be taken as
meaning that the purpose of the state
authorities to prevent the meeting OF
Jeffries and Johnson in these parts has
been frustrated or even checked. me
governor is still determined that moth
ing of that kind shall happen.
Judge Van Nostran not only denied
Attorney General Webb's prayer for an
Injunction to restrain Louis Blot from
going on with the contest between
Langford and Kaufman tomorrow but
threw a few hot ones into the state
officer for trying, as he expressed IL, TO
take liberties with the court.
The judge told Mr.. Webb that these
boxing matches or prize fights had been
going on in San Francisco for the past
nine years; that Mr.. Webb was not only
aware of their frequent occurrence but
was a witness Of many Of them.
Webb Raped by Court.
He also told him in so many words
that if it was his desire to step in now
and take a hand in the regulation of
local affairs his duty would seem to be
to proceed against persons who had vio-
lated the same law he was trying to
have enforced and not against persons
who had not violated 1t as yet.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-06-18

more than each has offered him, but
that he will take the fight where he
thinks he can draw the greatest crowd.
Tex Going to Reno.
His purpose is to start for Reno to-
morrow and confer with the commit
tees representing that city and Gold
field on Sunday Richard has been told
by the advance guard of the eastern
sporting army that Reno is calculated
to make a bigger hit with the pro-
spective eastern patrons of the mill
than Goldfeld because they have heard
more about 1t than they have about
the other place.
The facilities for parking private and
special cars is also better at the divorce
mart and there is at least one hotel
there as a matter of common knowl-
edge.
The only thing that will keep the
fight in Frisco is the fiat assurance OF
the governor that he has changed his
mind about its being in violation OF
the law and that he will not seek to
apply to it the fifty year old statute
which makes prize fighting felony
and something that should be headed
off at all cost

SPORTING NOTES
FIGHT VILE Be HELD EITHER
At RENO OR COLDF|ELO

Early in the day Gov. GiIlett issued
an order calling out two companies OF
state troops, but after a conference
with Chief of Police Martin. who is said
to know. his duty perfectly, although
he is of civic necessity friendly to the
sporting element. he called off the mi
litia and said he would rely on the
chief to see that the law was not vio-
lated. or IL it was. to Immediately ar
rest the violators.
That was good enough for Blot who
proceeded with his arrangements for
tomorrow's show Langford and Kauf-
Graney, will enter the arena at the ap-
pointed hour.
VIII Change Place of Fight
What will happen after that remains
to be seen. No matter what happens
to the fighters of lesser Importance 1t
is a settled conviction with those who
have come to see Jeffries and Johnson
contest for the worlds championship
that the big doings will transport to
the sage brush If they transpire at ALL
The feeling is that If the governor is

Tex Richard. whose gameness and
bitter disappointment compel sympathy
will temporize no longer than tomorrow
night. He knows what has been handed
to him in this land of promise and
promises and is in receipt OF many
pressing invitations to come home to
Nevada and bring his fight with him.
Rickard Ignores Gleason.
Although Gleason is still holding out
for San Francisco and offering to bet
that after all the fight will take place
here. everybody understands Jacks po-
sition and his raison d'etre in this en-
terprise evidently does not weigh much
in Richards calculations.
Richard sent two kilograms of the
same tenor teA-Reno and Goldfield. He
is assured that everything is all right
at both places. Goldfield offers tc
build arena and guarantee him that
the gate receipts will amount to as
much as 100000.
= The Reno proposition is equally gen
erous. The guarantee cuts little figure
with Tex as he knows the show will
take in more than the sums mentioned
no matter where he takes 1t. His tele-
gram said that he would not play one
town against the other nor demand

TIGERS DEFEAT YALE
IN DECIDING GAME

New York, June 1S.-Yale went down
to defeat before Princeton yesterday, Z
to 5. in the deciding game of a series
of three. Princeton played an uphill
game. Neither pitcher who began the
game lasted. S. " White, Princeton,

after Yale had scored four times In
the second inning and Tommers of
Yale was taken out at the end of the
sixth when Princeton had scored three
runs all told. The Tigers began scor-
Ing in the opening stanza, getting one
run after Ballin had gone out Yale
rallied in the ninth. but 1t Melted only
one run. With the bases filled and
two out, Mcintyre lost a chance to be-
come college hero by hitting to Cum

BADGER CREW
LACKS PRACTICE

Poughkeepsie. n. Y. June 1s.-With
Schmidt Of the varsity crew laid up
with mumps. the Wisconsin crew is
handicapped for a couple OF days.
Schmidt's place is being taken by a
substitute. The freshman crew was
unable to pull an oar yesterday morn
ing because the members were busy
with examination. Last night, how
ever. they were out for an eight-mile
pull under ideal conditions. Members
OF the squad declare that they left a
better freshman crew at home than the
one here because the men who stayed
could not come to Poughkeepsie with
out f1unking in their exams. The Badg-
ers are handicapped because of the lack
of practice, and it is generally believed
that 1t will cost them the race
