case of Stout & Miller against the
fighter to collect $4,000 and interest on
a gambling debt contracted here in
1906 Counsel for Jeffries asked for a
change of venue to Los Angeles, which
was denied. and then asked that the
trial be postponed until after Inde-
pendence day, declaring that 1t would
interfere with his clients training. This
was also refused.
The trial will be by jury. The al
legged debt was contracted July 4, when
Marvin Hart and Jack Root fought
here. Jeffries refereed the battle and
presented his bill to the winner That

lette

checks, stating that the money in that
bank was in his wife's name. He gave
note for the amount, which he has
since refused to pay. The fighter de.
clared afterward that he had been
cheated.

MORAN OU7POINTS
FRANKIE CONLEY
BritiSher Gets Newspaper Deci=
sion Over Bantam Champion
at Maud Junction

LOS ANGELES, June 7.-Owen
Moran, the English feather weight
boxer, gave Frank Conley, American
bantam champion, a decisive beating
in their 10 round contest at Maud pa
vilion tonight. The bout went the
limit and Conley was full of fight at
the finish, though he was punished Sc
verely during the last five rounds.
They weighed in at 124 pounds at s
o'clock, Moran entering the ring a
couple of pounds heavier than Conley.
Moran's superior strength and clever
ness were manifest from the start,
though the bantam champion fought
him every inch of the way. Moran
landed hard and often in the last three
rounds, but Conley's ability to assimi-
late punishment carried him through.
In 10 round preliminary, Young
Rivers knocked out Martin Leahy in
the third round Rivers is one of the
best 122 pound fighters in the local
short distance brigade and shows
symptoms of championship caliber. He
will be given a chance against one of
the top notchers at an early date.

GRANEY MAY BE
THE THIRD Man
Principals Meet Tonight to
Name Referee for kaufman
and LangfOrd Bout

The referee for the coming battle
between Al Kaufman and Sam Lang
ford will be named this evening at a
meeting of the principals at the Office
of Louis Blot in the Metropolis bank
building. There is a rumor along the
line that Eddie Graney will be in the
running to land the job and that his
chances look bright. However, none
of them seem to have good line on
this. for the reason that several of
the prominent ring judges will be out
for the position, and it looks like a
tossup.
Kaufman is doing so well up in the
mountains around Harbin Springs that
he decided to remain there another
day. He will leave this afternoon and
arrive this evening in company with
Billy Delaney and Bob Deady of Phila-
delphia. the men who are looking after
his interests. Upon his arrival, Kauf-
man VIII join the Johnson camp at the
Seal Rock house.
The. coming meeting between the big
fellows, which is billed for week from
Saturday afternoon at Louis Blots new
arena. Eighth and Howard streets, is
attracting a deal of attention and there
is no question that the battle will be
to have it on Sam at least 40 pounds in
weight, though the black man is the
favorite.
The betting opened very brisk yes
terday afternoon at odds of 10 to in
favor of Langford. There were plenty
of Kaufman takers at this price. Com
missioner Tom Corbett looks for plenty
Of action from now till the day of the
contest. kaufman has never been
beaten since he started out as a young
ster, so all his old admirers have plenty
of faith in him.
Blots new arena is nearing compile
tion. In fact, it will be ready just as
soon as the ring is installed. 1t is one
of the finest ever built in this section
of the country and will have a seating
capacity of about $4,000. If the coming
fight is success, then all the other
important contests, save the big one,
will be staged there.

Good Action Card at
Oakland Tonight


Tonight at the 'Fightorium" in Twen-
tieth street the Oakland railroad club
will offer one Of the best boxing shows
that has been arranged by a local club
In long time. In the main event,
which will be over the 10 round route,
Freddie Couture, the Oakland boxer.
and frankie Sullivan of Los Angeles
Will mingle, and, as both boys are right
on edge, a knockout is confidently ex-
pected
Marty Cutler will be seconded by a
retinue of Jack Johnsons trainers when
he starts against Jack Cordell in the
six round special event. Cutler has
made good impression on those who
have seen him spar with Johnson, and
Cordell may have bitten off more than
he can chew
Freddie Brooks and Kid George, mid
die weights, are hard hitting boys and
should settle their differences in less
than the six rounds allotted to them.
Willie O'Neil and Tommy Mcfarland are
ready for their little quarrel, and the
preliminary fighters, a couple of heav-
les. Jack Lester and Guy Collier, look
like promising candidates.

RICHMOND LANDS
CHAMPIONSHIP GO
Sid Hester viii Stage KetcheI
and LangfOrd at Transbay
Arena on July ?

Promoter Sid Hester and his hacker,
Tem o'Day, loomed up on the pugilistic
horizon very suddenly last night. max
ing their return bow to the fans by an
uouncing that they had secured Ketchel
and Langford for 45 round engage
ment at Richmond on the afternoon of
July 2. This announcement came di-
rectly on the heels OF one from New
York which said that the men had been
signed by Jim Coffroth. However, Hes
Ter seems to hold the whip hand over
The Coima man at the present time.
. Hester and O'Day secured their per-
nit in Richmond Monday evening. Hes
ter was flashing ii about yesterday.
The document is officially signed and
sealed and there is no question as TO its
genuineness. This is taken to mean
that Coffroth has faded away so far as
Richmond goes. IT is known that he
was endeavoring TO break in there, but
evidently the Mission club mon have
beaten him to the play. for only one
fight permit can be granted in Contra
Costa county. 1t belongs 10 the Mis-
Sionites now.
MOODMAN OUT FOR COIN
Joe Woodman. Langford's manager.
came out with a statement last night
in which he said that his man will
night for the promoter who offers the
best inducements and who can show
him an available battle ground. Hes
. Ter has come forward with a very lib
.eral percentage offer to Woodman and
lie has also showed him that he is in a
position TO pull the fight off al Rich
mond. These details appeal strongly to
'Langfords manager.
Hester says that Ketchel and his man
- ger, Wilson Miner, have accepted
lis terms and he dispatched trans
: 3porta ton and expense money to them
last night. Hester is awaiting a reply
Hourly 10 his latest telegram. He says
that Ketchel probably win leave New
y Nork Saturday and arrive here week
from today. He will then have two
weeks in which to train.
The Ketchel-Langford match Ger
.tsiRly looks like the most attractive
. one on the cards outside of the JEFF
-fries-JOhnson affair. For the last two
wears various promoters have been en-
..desvoring to bring these two great
middle weights together in a long
battle, so lot of credit is due Hester
for landing them when he seemed to
= be la.boring for a lost cause.
RICHMOND SPORTS "THERE-
OF course, the citizens of Richmond
viii open their arms TO receive the
fighters. The boys on the other side
..of. the bay are great sports. They
showed this when Nelson and Wolgast
. fought there Washingtons birthday
Nobody thought that the battle would
prove a financial success, yet it drew
out more than $4,000, the largest
house known in California since the
fire. And il rained. too, otherwise
they might have pulled $4,000.
The arena where Nelson and VOL
gsst fought that memorable 40 round
battle is still intact outside of one
section of the bleachers, which can be
rebuilt in two days. Hester says that
work viii begin Immediately and that
everything viii be in readiness before
the week is out.

The Curious Mistletoe.

The story of how the mistletoc gets
on the trees Is most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pear
Iy white berries. These come In the
winter season, when food Is compara-
lively scarce, and hence some birds eat
them freely Now. when a robin eats a
cherry he swallows simply the meat
and hips the stone away. The seed
of the mlstletoe the bird cannot Zip.
1t Is sticky and holds TO his bill. His
only resource Is to wipe 1t Off. and he
does SO, leaving 1t sticking to the
branches of the tree on which he is
sitting at the time. This seed sprouts
after time, and not finding earth
which, indeed. its ancestral habit has
made it cease wanting-it sinks its roots
into the bark of the tree and hunts
there for the pipes that carry the sap.
Now, the sap in the bark is the very
richest In the tree. far richer than
that I'm the wood, and the mistletoe
gets from its host the choicest OF food.
With strange foresight II does not
throw its leaves away. ns do most
parasites. but keeps them 10 use in
winter, when the tree is leaness.

Armies In Old Testament Times.

All through ancient history oriental
armies had no sentinels. and thus in
The Bible King Saul when he was pur-
suing David slept without any guard,
so that David stole up to where the
king lay asleep and took the cruise of
water at his head with him Il Samuel
XVII. A striking Illustration OF this
was when Alexander the Great. ac-
companied by his chief officers. enter
ed the lines of the Persian army the
night before the decisive battle OF Ar
bella and found that there was not one
OF the sleeping host who observed
them. We can readily see. therefore.
that panic might occur by sudden
night attack on an army so careessly
guarded and that Abrabam's company
might easily have taken advantage OF
.this.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson In
