WILLIAMS HAS NOT WITHDRAWN
PERMISSION TO USE TRACK

OAKLAND, May 17.-Thomas M.
Williams. president of the New Cali
fornia Jockey club, which controls the
race track at Emeryville. where it was
proposed to hold the Jeffries-Johnson
fight. today explained the report that
he had withdrawn his permission to
hold the championship battle there
on July 4.
whether or not the combat will be
held across the bay is entirely in the
hands of Tex Rickard," said Williams
when he first asked my permission
for the use of the race track, I can
vassed the business men and prominent
people in Alameda county, and they all
urged me to allow the fight at the
track. Recently these same men have
come to me and indicated that they
did not want the fight in their vicinity.
They had turned exactly around in
their position, I suppose, as result
of the pressure brought to bear on
them.
Naturally I desired, as near as |
could, to coincide with their ideas and
so I sent for Rickard. and I placed
the situation before him, telling him
how I would prefer that he did not
hold the fight at Emeryville. I in
formed him, however that my personal
promise to him would hold good. and
that he could have the fight at the
track if he desired. l said plainly that
I preferred that he did not, but I did
not cancel my permission, and if he
cannot arrange to hold the bout else
where, or prefers to keep me to my
original promise, he can 90 so. That
is the whole situation"

JOHNSON To BOX
WITH VOLUNTEERS
Black SIugger'S Muscles Feel No
Stiffness from Sundays
Hard Try Out
tAssociated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-Jack
johnson, with the selection of a referee
off his mind, went through his usual
grind on the road this morning in
preparation for his second days box
ing that will be the feature tomorrow
afternoon. Strange to say. after the
hard days work that Johnson went
through on Sunday, there was not the
slightest complaint of stiff muscles.
"If anything. I feel better than ever.
and though / went through some stiff
work, l am glad of it. if it showed
the people that 1 am in good shape.
I expect to do just as much, If not
more, boxing tomorrow afternoon. and
may make it ten rounds instead of
eight" said Johnson.
Manager George Little says he has
couple of volunteers who want a
chance to show what they can do. and
that he will let them as well as Dave
Mills box tomorrow.
A story went the rounds yesterday
that there had been split between
!. Johnson and Little and that Billy
Nolan, erstwhile manager of Bat Mel
| son, would assume charge of the cham
pion's camp. This afternoon. however,
it was denied on all sides. Little said
that Nolan had absolutely no chance
| to become manager. Johnson merely
laughed at the report, and Billy Nolan
said that there was no truth in the
story.
"I only wish it were true" he said,
but the subject mas %er been
preached, and it was all aSSurprise to
me. My only interest in Johnson is
that I think he is certain to beat
Jeffries and that I may bet some
money on him. I was present at the
conference merely to see if l could be
| of any assistance in selecting a
referee who would give him square
| deal"
Tex Rickard, somewhat nettled by
| the report that his name was sug-
gested as referee merely to fill in the
breach temporarily, has come out with
a statement that he will referee the
fight, and that he will not give way
to any man in the world.
81 wanted to know whether l would
be satisfactory to Jeffries," said
Rickard. "I have been assured that
everything is all right, and now l am
going to hold the job"
Ed Graney, one of those suggested
for the referee job, left this afternoon
! for the Jeffries camp at Ben Lomond.
He explains very carefully that as the
referee question is settled. he wants
to see the big fellow on other business.

FIGHT TO Be IN
STATE SAYS TEX
Gleason, Richard and Others In
tereSted Have Long Confer
enCe Over battle-ground
MAY NOT GO TO EMERYVlLLE
Amount of Money Involved Makes
1t Quite Necessary to Guard
Against Interference

SAN FRANCISCO May 17.-Learn-
ing more of the attitude of the officials
of Alameda county regarding the
Jeffries johnson fight and practically
abandoning intention to hold the con-
test in Emeryville July 4, as
scheduled, Tex Rickard, one of the
promoters of the affair, has had a con-
ference with John L. Herget, chairman
of the police commission of the local
board of supervisors, and Jack Griffin
the prizefight promoter who holds the
July permit for a contest in this city,
the result of which has been the open
ing of negotiations to hold the hght
here instead of across the bay. rms
brings the situation back to its original
status. for probably the first PROPOSE
tion that was made to Rickard two
months ago, when 1t became known
that the fight was to be held in Ca1-
fornia. was offered by Griffin, who de-
sired to barter the permit he held for
the month in which the Jeffries-John-
son contract called for the meeting.
1t is said by prominent sporting men
tonight that the promoters tentatively
have agreed to accept Griff1n's bar
gain. upon the assurance that the city
and county ordinance now IN erect,
which limits ring contests to twenty
rounds, will be repealed and a substl-
tute passed uHuer lHe terms VI
fighters will be permitted to battle for
forty-five rounds. This is the only
point that seems to stand in the way
of the fight coming to San Francisco,
and Supervisor Herget has expressed
himself as agreeable to a plan for the
extension of the round limit on fights
here
Richmond. in Contra Costa county,
where the Nelson-Wolgast fight took
place. is. of course, being considered,
but the principals favor San Fran
cisco.
Admitting that the question of the
law in the case is an open one, 1t Is
pointed out that the tremendous
amount of money already involved in
the fight will deter the promoters from
taking any chances of even attempted
interference.
Richards only statement was, THE
fight will be held in California"

ON THE JUMP ALL THE TIME
ASSOCIATED Press1

BEN LOMOND, May 17.-Jeffries
kept at his training grind this after
noon for two hours and fifteen minutes,
the longest uninterrupted session which
he has undergone since beginning train
ing.
The program included shadow boxing,
bag punching, rope skipping and hand
ball, and at the finish, though he had
been on the jump every instant of the
workout, the big fighter did not appear
in the least fatigued.
In the handball game Jeff played
three men-his brother Jack, Joe
Choynski and Bob Armstrong. He took
the trio into camp in two straight
games. No boxing was included in to-
days program.
Roger Cornell, condition expert and
masseur, arrived this morning and took
charge of the rubbing room. He desert
ed the Portland baseball team to join
the Jeffries staff. According to Cor
nell, there will be no more disagree
able eruptions on the fighters back.
THE breaking out in the past has been
due to errors in massaging,' he said.

ANGELS BARELY
ESCAPE SHUT0UT
Hit Holds Them at His Mercy
Throughout Nine Innings
of Play
NAGLE FOUND OPPORTUNITY
SCrappy Hogan'S Bunch Put Up
Snappy Exhibition and
Start Off in Lead
NAGLE FOUND OPPORTUNITY

Vernon opened a five weeks local
stand yesterday with a to 1 victory
over the Angels IN the tirst OF c seven
game series between them. Roy Hit
was on the mound for the Cutups and
had the Angel swatters at his mercy
throughout, even in the ninth inning,
when they attempted a winning rally.
He held them down to five hits, scat
tered so we'll that the Angelic clouters
only punched as many as two in any
one inning, the ninth. Nagle twirled
for the Angels, but was found for hits
at times when bingles meant runs, and
few errors thrown in helped out a
heap in the triumph of the suburban
outfit.
Vernon began scoring in the first in
ming, putting over one run. Carlisle,
first man up, doubled to center and
went to third on Kitty Brashear's sac
rifice. Martinke hit to Wheeler, who
played tag with the ball and Carlisle
scored, while Marty was safe at first.
He stole second and Roy Brashear was
walked, but Coy lined to Ross in right
and Lindsay famed. In the third the
Cutups got another on two hits and an
error. Martinke fouled to Roth, who
muffed, and afterwards Marty singled
to center. Roy Brashear sacrificed him
a bag, Coy flied to left and Lindsay hit
down to Delmas, who threw wide to
first, everybody being safe Orendorff
threw to Delmas at second to catch
Lindsay, and Delmas tossed the ball
back to the plate, but made such a.
poor peg of it that Martinke was safe
with run number two. The final run
scored by Vernon came in the ninth.
Carlisle was hit by pitched ball. Kit
ty Brashear was retired at first, after
Dillon had muffed his grounder. Stow
all went out, Dillon to Nagle, and Ray
Brashear hit through third, scoring
Carlisle.
Los Angeles scored its only run in the
ninth, and it looked like a gift. Daley
walked. Ross singled intield and Wheel
er singled to left, scoring Daley. Then,
with chances good for tying the score,
the Angels fell down. Dillon forced
Ross at third, Hit to Brashear, and
Bernard was put in to run for Dillon.
Murphy flied to left, Roth drew free
transportation and Delmas was out at
first on a pretty stop and assist by
Fisher.
The same teams play this afternoon,
and with Hensling or Schafer working
for Vernon and Thorsen or Tozer doing
duty for the Angels, it looks like fine
diamond battle.
Following is the tabulated score of
the game:

DISTRICT ATTORNEY PLANS
TO STOP THE BIG BATTLE

OAKLAND, May 17-An Oakland
paper today says:
1.-THE rty-five-round contest be-
tween James ]. Jeffries and Jack john
son for the heavyweight championship
of the world. scheduled for July 4,
will not take place at the Oakland race
track.
"This was decided and announced to
friends this morning by Tex Rickard,
promoter and referee for the battle.
The reasons for this decision are mani
fold. but the announcement that
Thomas II. williams, president of the
New California Jockey club, had re-
ouested such action because of the
protests from ministers is not one of
them.
"The promoter has learned from an
authoritative source that District At
torney Donahue means to have a large
force of deputies at the ringside in the
event the fight takes place here and
to instruct them to stop the contest
at the first sign of blood, basing it on
the ground of brutality.
Besides the trouble Rickard has
been having with the site question,
he has also had his hands full trying
to settle the referee question. Aftetr
many conferences he himself was
chosen as the third man IN the ring
Among sporting men on both sides of
the bay it is not believed that he will
officiate, and that he accepted the offer
temporarily until he could bring the
two factions together to agree on a
California referee of prominence"
