ADDING 2,oOo SEATS
 AT YALE FIELD
Accord Crowd Coming to Har- yard Game, Including Taft
 and Perhaps Roosevelt

New Haven, June 14.-To say that the biggest crowd that ever attended Yale-Harvard commencement base ball game will be on hand next Tues day, for the annual contest between the Blue and Crimson is saying good deal, when one considers the great gathering that attended the game two years ago with President Taft, who was here with the class of 1878 for his reunion, as the principal object of interest, but Everard @7hompson has stated that the de- Ecand for tickets this year resembled the demand for football pastebards more than for . baseball game.
 Tt beats any.ning that the ticket department ever had to deal with, said MT. Thompson. 'and there is no caestion but that the attendance Tues day. if the weather is good, will far exceed any baseball gathering ever crowded in the Yale field"
 MT. Thompson is making prepara- tions for the swarm of graduates and in order to meet the demand for tick cts has given a contract for the erec- ton of 2,000 more seats adjoining the present left field bleachers. Jim" Foster, the builder of Yale's man. moth football stands, has the contract and will begin work today on the new set of bleachers. With the 2,0O0 new seats up, the seating capacity of the field will be about 11,500, but
 
 on the turf around the playing field and hundreds who will see the game from automobiles, so it is figured that almost 16,O00 persons will see Yale and Harvard do battle in the first game of the series between the two universities.
 There will be twenty-three hum dred members of the reunion classes at the field and of this cluster, 1,600 will be in uniforms, ranging from the Yama-Y anna man to the old gray duster. The triennial class of 1907 will come back 250 strong and from that class clear down the line to 1860, large numbers of old Yale men will be found with their college mates. The oldest reunion class to attend the zane in a body Ntll be that of 1860, which will go to the field, 25 strong. The class of 1870, of which Prof. James D. Dana is the the ranks, a fine representation.
 President Taft, who comes this year to see his son. Robert Alfonso, graduate, will again be the central figure at the game and 1t was re- ported last night that former Presi- | dent Theodore Roosevelt would also attend. This report could not be verified, but the presence of the former chief executive and President | Taft would make a feature unpre- | cedented for interest.
 Former Assistant Secretary Of the | Navy Truman Newberry will be an- other prominent figure.
 Governor Weeks has also signifed | his intention of coming to the big | game and will attend with the class | of 1880. Governor Weeks is not graduate, but he will come as the | guest of certain members, close | friends of the chief executive of the state.

Smith. chalked Hey. The bases were again filled on Miller's amble. Brad Kocher tried hard. but brilliant stop by Perkins erased him at first.
 The game was all over in the fifth. With one knocked down. I4add hit in to left. which Stowe duplicated. Two runners trailed across when Miller hit that pill on the seam, the soar going far over Fosters head. On the throw to catch Stowe at the plate Miller pull ed up at third. He scored on Kocher's hit to center.
 Waller had Larry Gill knocked off the ma IDS when he made a great fall after being peppered by one of Smiths slants. Red stretched out on terra firma as if killed. but got up when Buster Watts called for water. and ran smiling to first. The bases became filled when Duggan and Smith mixed up on Halls infield tap. While Hall was going out on Eley's slap to Nor gan, Kocher scored. for the fourth run of the inning, and the last run of the game.
 The Mechanics had lots of chances to sccre after the fifth. but what was the use. there was no need of rubbing it in. The score:

 San Francisco, June 14.-With the pie are still talking fake. That kind of talk, brewed mostly in the east and among men who don't know the Marquis of Queensbury from the London ring rules, strikes western fight fans as the height of 1aumor.
 Jimmy Coffroth, who was beaten in his efforts to hold the battle and who therefore might have some cause for westerners today when he said:
 "This fight could not be crooked even if Johnson and Jeffries wanted it to be-which they don't. In the first place you could not put all the money in the world before Jeff and make him fight a crooked fight. To win the fight means nearly $1 100000 for John son: to lose it means hardly a quarter of this sum. Do you think the Jef- fries men would put up the necessary s75. 900 to make Johnson lay down? Not in a million years. And even if they tried it, it would get out. In the first place, when there is a crooked fight all the money has to go into the hands of one man, so there can be no double crossing This man would be sure to talk and the secret would be out. Take it from me; there will be no fake fight"
 Orders for seats in the fight arena continue to pour in and Gleason and Rickard have had their plans so drawn that within two hours several thousand extra seats can be added to the arena to take care of excess crowds.
 Gleason and Rickard are receiving thousands of requests for passes. Ev- cry little newspaper in the country wants half a dozen and there isn't a tin horn politician on the coast who hasn't written in for his share claim ing to be very friendly with the gov ernor or district attorney or speaking

BIG OFFER FOR
 FIGHT PICTURES
New York Promoter Will Pay $15O,OOO For Jeffries-JOhn-
 son Battle

San Francisco, June 14.-William T. Rock, of New York, agent of a moving picture corporation, today of- fered S15O,0OO for the moving picture lights of the Jeffries-J Johnson battle. This is the largest legitimate straight offer that has been received and Promoters Rickard and Gleason, with Jeff, Johnson and Berger are consid- ering it seriously.
 The moving picture people offer to assume all responsibility from the time the fighters enter the ring. If the weather prevents the taking of pictures, or if there should be some untoward circumstance which ruins the films the moving picture people will shoulder the loss.
 Jeff and Johnson formed a cor poration to handle the pictures, they to pay Rickard and Gleason one-

of his influence" One Indianapolis man threatened to blow up the arena with a bomb if he didn't get pass. He didn't get a pass but 1t is strange that eight watchmen have been engsg- ed to watch the arena until the day of the fight.
 Dick Adams of the Jeffries training staff who watched Johnson box with Kaufman, declared today he thought the battle would be a particularly tough one, but that Jeff would win inside of 20 rounds.
 Johnson can put up a stiff fight and land some good blows" said Adams. He is swift on his feet and Jeff will have some trouble in hitting him, but he will finally get to the big negro and then it will be all off"
 Johnson has let down considerably in his work. He is down to 210 pounds and doesn't want to take off any more weight. He still does some light road work and boxing but little hard work that would be liable to make him lose weight.
 Jeffries intends to spend the rest of his time doing a lot of boxing. Yes terday he put in nine fast rou1ds- The first three were with Armstrong. and they mixed it up in splendid style. Then Jeff took on Sam Berger and Joe Choynski for six rounds. The big fsI- low took no rest between rounds. sim ply fighting his two opponents alter nately, three minutes for each.

 The inks sure is off on Cy Miller. Those few hot shots last week must have had their effects, as Cy played as if he was possessed with new life. That two bagger which he ripped off in the fifth was a reminder of the kind with which he burned the league lat season. Now that Cy has started there are hopes that he will continue that way, and not lapse into the 1eth- argic state which has characterized his work of late.
 .eWdy do they want to drop Miller? ?' said booster for that player after the game Where is there another man on the team, who can hit the fence?" According to Pop Foster, who chased the drive, the ball hit the fence about a foot from the ground, and bounded back.

 According to advices from Pittsburg, New Britain is to lose Pitcher Webb but will gain Pitcher Eugene Moore another left handler in his place. The Grand Rapids club from which team Webb was drafted by the Pirates made a kick over the turning over of the left handler, and he has been re- called. The rules say that before a player can be turned back to a lea que of the same class as that from which he is drafted. a waiver must be obtained from the club which origin ally owned him. This is what has.

ATE TAINTED MEAT.
Beef Ready to Fall to Pieces Served
at the White House.


Quite a sensation has been created
in Washington by the statements of
Food Inspector Dodge of the District
of Columbia before the session of the
house committee which is inyestigat-
ing the high cost of living
According to Mr.. Dodge it was the
custom Of a steward at the white
house to buy quarter of beef for
the Roosevelt family and hang it up
until it was ripe" or ready to fall
to pieces. The steward would punch
it every morning to see if it was get
ting ripe" and tender, and when it
was ready to fall apart, said Mr..
Dodge, it would be cooked and served
on the Roosevelt table in the form
Of stews, steaks, roasts and pot
roasts.
The best persons in Washington, "
said Mr. Dodge, prefer meat that
has been kept long enough to spoil
it just a little. | one day con-
lemned a quarter of black beef in a
fashionable meat market, and was
about to burn it when the foOtman
Of a wealthy family bought a cut
from the beef. The meat dealer in
formed me that he had many custo-
mers who would accept nothing else. ="

petities," said Representative Ben

that kind of meat in my state. Do
they keep this tainted meat in the
same coolers with meat intended for
civilized folk?"

The members of the committee ex-
pressed disgust over the revelations
made by Mr.. Dodge. No action was
taken in the matter.
