TRAINER QUXRK MAKES
HARMLESS SHOE SPIKE

Trainer Joe Quirk. OF the Washing.
ton club. grew tired OF patching ath-
letes damaged In the feet and legs. so
he invented q new baseball spike to
take the place OF the deadly nipple
ments which now adorn the athletes
feet.
The spike In use now. be II known,
consists of a steel plate with three
prongs, two at the rear and one In
front. These prongs are from a half
inch TO an inch I'm length and constant
walking and running makes them
sharp as knives. When a baseman
fails to get out OF the way for a run
ner the steel plates cut deep and long.
Quirk's spike consists OF steel or
calk about the same size and shape
as an acorn. This spike is attached TO
the shoe In a manner similar to the
practice with the plates. The calks
are hollow half way to the point. They
weigh but little more than the plates.
Doc. Reisling and Quirk have had
the invention patented and an order

ODDS FAVOR JEFF
IN CHICAGO BET
Big Sum Alleged To Have Been
Wagered 10 to 8 on q
Knockout. ~

SAN FRANCISCO. June s.-Frisco
sports heard today OF the first real
big bet that has been placed on tho
Jeffries-Johnson fight, and the odds
given puzzled them. According to q
dispatch from Chicago. Andy Craig.
a well-known sporting man. bet Ed
ward Dickinson, $4,000 to $4,000. that
Jeffries would knock johnson out.
These odds. 10 to 6, are larger than
have been offered on the coast. There
Is little betting going on here thus far
but Il is expected that within q short
time some OF the bigger sporting men
will have large sums entrusted In
their care by those DESTROYS OF wag-
ering. The probable odds are hard TO
conjecture. Jeff Is almost sure TO be
the favorite. though II Is believed
along the coast that the Johnson men
will not hold out for such long odds
as 10 to 9.
II Is believed more than $1,000.000
will be posted In San Francisco alone.
While Johnson Is still fighting with
George Little, there are constantly re-
curing rumors that things are not as
peaceful as might be up at Reward
ennan. II IL reported that Jef and
Berger are on the point OF splitting
and support Is given this statement
by the presence In Jens training
camp OF Eddie Graney. who Is known
to be a bitter foe of Berger.
Johnson's announcement that he
has appointed Tom Flanagan as his
manager until July s, has caused con-
siderable surprise. Flanagan Is one
Of the best-known amateur athletes In
America. He Is Canadian and OF
late has been devoting his time to
runners. handling Tom Longboat and
other Marathon men. He has been
looking after Johnson's road work.
From Johnson's announcement, II
seems that Flanagan and Sig. Hart
will look after the clerical work for
the champion. but Johnson will prac-
lically DE his own manager.
Johnson Is down to 210 pounds now
and is worried that he Is losing weight
too fast He has been told that Jen
Is still learning wrestling tricks from
Farmer Burns. and that he intends TO
clinch often In the early rounds and
wear Johnson down. The Negro be-
lieves he should enter the ring at 2l2
to be able to hold his own.
Il Is expected that Jen will resume
boxing tomorrow. He called of his
boxing bout with Corbett yesterday.

one blame the horsemen, In view of

CHILLY WEATHER
HARD ON TROTTERS

In almost any circle one can hear
now and then discussion about a
climatic change. In the turf world q
change has been accepted as gospel
truth. On wet days when trainers
are unable TO bring their charges out
of stalls. they sit around stoves In
the private stables and tell how early
racing now Is not what IL used to be.
The blame Is all put upon change
In climatic conditions.
One noted trainer said: Just think
OF IL. when that hot spell came on In
March IL looked as II mid-April would
see our horses further along In their
training than ever before. Then there
comes this wet, cloudy spell and to-
day we are further back than we
have been In the last 20 years.
This trainer was right In his deduc-
tions. The training season opened in
March 80 auspiciously that 1t looked
as II for the first time In a score Of
years the trainers would be ready for
early racing and would not have to
say TO secretary. Sorry. I would
like to enter at your meeting but my
