At OAKLAND TRACK
Men Promoting the jeffries-
Johnson Scrap Agree
Upon Location.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9-After
weeks of negotia lions between the joint
promoters it was definitely announced
last night by Tex Richard and Jack
Gleason that the Jeffries and Johnson
fight July 4 would be held in arena
within the race track Enclosure of the
California Jockey Club at Emeryville,
Alameda county. just across the bay
from San Francisco.
The announcement was made imne-
diately after a meeting in the offices of
the jockey club. attended by Richard.
Thomas H. Williams, president of the
jockey club, and Mayor Christie OF
Emeryville, a suburb Of Oakland. Will
liams and Christie both signified their
Willingness to have the fight staged in
Emeryville, and an agreement to that
effect was signed.
Jack Gleason, Richards partner, was
not present at the conference, but Rick
ard stated that Gleason had approved
the Emeryville arena. and all that re-
manned to be done was 10 procure
formal permit from the village trustees.
Richard has been assured that this Will
be forthcoming upon application.
Site an Ideal One.
II have the permission Of Mr. Will
liams to hold the fight In the race track,
and have finally decided that this is
where the big men will meet said

unlimited number of people. | think that
1000 persons will see the fight From

conducting the thousand and one details
incident to the handling of the big at
fair
Il have always been against the idea
of using the race track at Emeryville
for anything but racing events. said
President Williams. after the meeting,
but the Jeffries and Johnson night IS
sporting event of national Importance.
For that reason | have given my con-
sent that the men meet within the jockey
club grounds.
E.meryville is the Oakland race track
and is situated just across the bay from
San Francisco. II IS one of the towns
in California that was incorporated some
years ago for special reasons. Racing
had been attacked at 1ngleSide and other
courses within the city proper and Dan
Burns senator and the republican boss
of California and then d member Of the
race firm of Burns ~ Warehouse, con
ceived the idea OF gathering the horse
men together and Incorporating town
entitled to make its own laws a territory
which would embrace only the race track.
Ideal Fight Town.
1t elected its own officials. made its own
ordinances, had its own police force and
could be subject only to the jurisdiction
of some general state law. The plan was
followed by the late Lucky Baldwin in
Incorporating the town of Arcadia in the
southern end of the state and racing was
in fact law unto itself until the passage
last year Of Walker-Otis law, which is
general statute but relates exclusively
to wagering on horse races.
Tom Williams owns SO large a ma
jorty of the stock of the New California
Jockey Club which Is Emeryville that
he may be said to be practically its eX-
elusive owner. Burns gradually got rid
of his racing property, leaving Williams

Win Clark, manager of the Norfolk
club OF the Virginia League. is out at
the park both morning and afternoon and
watches the work OF the Nationals with
a great deal of interest. Win knows
some of the Washington players. and he

Harry Mace is another old timer who
is always on hand when there is any
thing doing at the park. and ii is not an
infrequent thing for him to toss the ball
around with some of the Washington
players. Mace says he will show the
boys some real big league work when he

William S. Foor, formerly chief
clerk in the Dan Kyger store on Main
street, but now living in Seattle is in
the city this week and is loud in bis
praise of Walla Walla. Having left
here five years ago, Mr. Foor was able
to appreciate the changes being
wrought on every side and his sur
prise at the thrift and industry of his
old home town was great. Speaking OF
the city, he said:
Your stores here are more on the
order of those of Seattle than any
other town in the northwest for they
are classy" Though maybe not so
large as those of Bellingham, or
Everett, they are far superior to those
of those cities and carry a much bet
ter stock of goods They are metropol-
itan.
ct can see important changes on
every hand, too, and it does not seem
that this can be the little town I left.
l only hope it maintains this pace"
Mr.. Foor is connected with Hoff
Brothers in Seattle, being engaged in
the manufacture and sale or post
cards and art leather goods. AS a
sample of what business in this line is
on the coast, he stated that during
the Christmas months, an average OF
100000 post cards were sold each
month to five stores of that city

DRAMATIC CLUB
AT THE COLLEGE,

Believing that the establishment OF
a dramatic club at Whitman college
is among the possibilities and that
there are enough students attendins
that institution who possess ra,en,
along the lines of play writing, a
movement is now on foot there by
some of the upperclassmen to form
such an organization The idea, which
been growing rapidly lately and it is
possible that the new club will be
mcdeled after the present one at the
University of Oregon. This club has
met with decided success and has at
tanned sure footing among the stu
dents of that college.
A movement on the part Of the club
to encourage student playwrights
might not bring forth any master
pieces of dramatic compositions, but
it would undoubtedly evoke some pro-
auctions which would be we'll worth
while. Plays and dramatic sketches
written and staged by students in the
dramatic clubs of other colleges of the
United States have more than once
met with favorable notices from the
professional stage, and a number OF
rising playwrights Of the present day
began their work during their college
careers as members Of the student
dramatic clubs. The experiment is
well worth the attention of the local
organization.
The students who are taking the
iniative in the plan of a dramatic club
at Whitman are Ralph Mathews, Ned
Barnes, Calvin Crumbaker Lloyd r.
Hawley, Charles Lewis, and other
upperclass men,
