San Francisco, March 25.-Local pro-
moters who expect TO reap a rich harvest
when the Jeffries-J johnson crowd is gath
erin; in late June and early July are
naturally trying TO secure the best cards
possible. Next to Johnson and Jeffries
a contest between Sam Langford and
Stanley Ketchel looms up as the biggest
probable mOney-maker, but Ketchel has
stifled all speculation on this particular
point by signing TO box LangfOrd six
rounds at Philadelphia late in April.
Next to LangfOrd and Ketchel, the pro-
motors would like To have something
with Ad Wolgast in it, but here again
there is rocky road to travel.
WOlgast, they say, is firing of the show
business and would like to get back into
ring costume He said as much the other
day, but al the same time intimated that
his next fight would not take place in
San Francisco. Ad told his friends that
he had promised to fight for Uncle Tom
McCarey of Los Angeles and that he was
looking forward TO a bout with owen
Moran at the Vernon arena.
Opinions Differ.
There is evidently a difference of opin-
ion on the subject Of fighting between
WOlgast and Manager Tom Jones. for
the latter declares he will not allow VOL
CAST TO fight until late in the year. Jones
says that when Wolgasts theatrical dates
are filled Wolgast viii go to his home
in Cadillac, Mich, for a good long rest.

condition when he stacks up against the

BIG CROWD SEES
STATE MAT BOUTS
Y. M. C. A. Carries OF Five
FirStS-B. Y. U. WreStIerS
. Make Good Showing.

Before a large and enthusiastic
crowd of wrestling followers the 1910
Utah amateur wrestling championships
were held last night at the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium. The bouts showed a much
better class of work than last year,
which the number of entries and every
changing variety in the weight d.
visions made the card very entertain
ing.
Dale Dean Of the Y. NJ c. a. won the
heavyweight title by default, Ben Har-
ker Withdrawing in his favor. The two
met in the final of the middIeweight
class, however, and put up one of the
most evenly contested matches ever
seen on a local mat.
With the exception Of a few moments
the men were on their feet, each surg
ing around the mat in a vain effort to
get his opponent down. The two
wrestled the limit, 10 minutes, without
fall, but Referee COnviH was forced
under the rules TO make decision on
aggressiveness, and it went to Harker.
At that, the match was pretty close
TO perfect draw, and a match between
the two over longer route would be
worth seeing.
Lloyd a Surprise.
one Of the big surprises was the VIC
tory of Alex Lloyd in the welterWeight
ulNlSlOu. IlOyu was entered IN the 13O-
pound class, but failed to make the
weight within a few pounds and was
forced to enter the larger class. In
the semi-final Lloyd found himself
against II. NJ. Howell, the former in
tercollegiate champion, and favorite to
win the title. Lloyd, however, was
game, and pitching in for ali he was
worth, won the fall by aggressiveness
In the final Lloyd threw Miller of the
B. Y. T.. who had won a close decision

In the 135-pound class Cliff Evans of
the Y. NJ. c. A. won the title from
NJ. ]. Cleary Of Ogden. Evans was the
aggressor throughout and won the de-
cision by a good margin.
The 125-pound class saw the B. Y.
L. to the front, both Lambert and Og-
den landing in the finals, ogden win
ming on aggressiveness.
Fred Crabbe of the Z. NJ c. A. went
through a long list to win the u.s.
pound championship, winning all his
bouts on falls. After throwing Wal
lace of ogden, Crabbe took the final
from his team-mate, Niblc, in three
minutes.

CYCLONE JOHN TOO
FAST FOR NORVALL
Wins Ten-ROund Decision
Over Butte Boxer, Who
Took Big Beating.

Oakland, March 25.-Cyelone Johnny
Thompson, the Illinois lightweight, won
a ten-round decision over Charlie Nor
vail, California 133-pound boy, in the
main event Of the show given by the
West Oakland club Wednesday night.
Thompson was the aggressor all through
the fight, and his spectacular work was
accomplished in the third round, when he
knocked Norvan down three times and
probably would have knocked his man out
but for the gong. NOrVall came back
stronger than the crowd expected would
be possible, however, and it was his work
in the closing stages that earned for him
considerable support. Eddie Smith of
Oakland was the referee.
Thompson was boring in as usual from
the first to the last, but he found it diff
f1cut at times to get through NorvalT $
guard, and the long reach of the latter
was decided advantage to him. In the
third round Thompson dropped Norvall
with a straight right to the jaw. Charlie
too kthe count, but as he got up was
sent down again, and still a third time.
fortunately the gong sounded and the
rest was the one thing that saved him.
NorVall Stalls.
In the fourth and fifth Norvall stalled
much of the way, and in the sixth, sew
enth and eighth he held Thompson off to
a large extent, dancing around the ring
and swinging with his long arms. He
lacked punch, however, and in the
ninth and tenth was hanging on great
DEAL frequently being cautioned against
this by Referee Smith.
The decision handed out by Referee
George Brown IN the Indian Joe Gregg
Billy Grupp fight, in which Gregg was
given a six-round decision, started a gen
eral disturbance. Gregg stalled through
five of the six rounds, while Grupp was
doing all tfhe fighting.

mouth; ''in fact we are nearer a definite
agreement now than we have ben at any
time heretofore. but there is nothing to
announce yet"
The sessions were secret, and such linz
tied information as Mr. Hall would vOuch-
safe, was all that could be obtained. 1t
was understood no vote was taken today
and no formal agreement reached. Mr..
Hall was in his shirt sleeves at the end
of long bic Uttered with papers. Be
side him stood a blackboard intricate
with diagrams of play. 1t was apparent
the day had been a hard one, and there
had been decided differences of opinion
as to what ought to be done.
The forward pass has its advocates and
its opponents on the committee, and IN
til they can agree there it no knowing
in what shape football for 1910 will issue
from their deliberations. Preliminary ses-
sions were held last fall in an effort to
retain the virility and excitement Of the
game as 1t now stands, yet reduce great

The committee will meet again at $50
tomorrow, but II no settlement OF differ
ences seems possible then, adjournment
will be taken until later in the spring.
Most of the day was spent in an effort

members could meet. In the matter Of

accord but on details OF tactics, there

W0LGAST TIRING OF STAGE
WANTS TO RETURN TO Ring

Jones. "Once he begins fighting again,
ne will fight often and over long dis
Jances probably, as It will be necessary
for him to defend his championship.
Until Jones and Wolgast are of a mind
as to when the fighting season will re-
open for the little champion, 1t is little
use of the promoters bargaining for VOL
CASTS services.
Battling Nelson, who intimated before
leaving San Francisco that his next fight
would be Cyclone" Thompson, now de-
claTes that all his energies will be con-
centrated in an attempt TO force VOL
CAST into a return match. At least that
is the news that comes west from men
who are close TO Nelson and, if the in
formation is reliable, Jim Griffen and the
rest of them may as well abandon their
plans for bringing Nelson and Thompson
together in June or July.
Nelson Anxious.
Sid Hester, who IS away travelling with
the NelsOn-W Olgast pictures, says that
the desire TO fight WOlgast a second time
possesses Nelson to the exclusion of all
other prospects of offers of matches.
He is simply brimful of confidence -
writes Hester, land seems to be aching
to get another whack at the new cham
pion. In his show at Milwaukee the
other night Nelson made his usual lit
tie talk. in which he claimed he was still
fresh in the fOrtieth round, when the
fight was stopped. Said the Battler:
90 Cans licked me worse than Wolgast
did and I came back and licked Cans.
Britt trimmed me- and what did l do to
Britt? Well I'll do the same for this
kid, Wolgast' "

was novel inasmuch as no witnesses
were examined. The entire time was
taken up in going over the evidence
already submitted. No new facts were
produced, and It was evident from the
long discussion that one of the mem
bers of the commission does not agree
with the ideas of the other two. All.
however. appear certain this difficulty
will be overcome.
The commission issued a notice TO
all major league players giving the
conditions under which a Detroit firm
is to present an automobile to the
champion batsman of the 1910 season.
Regular players to be eligible for the
prize must have been credited with $50
times at bat. catchers with $50 times
and pitchers with 100. The official
league batting average win be the only
factor considered In awarding the prize.

The selection Of Emeryville as the

happy chord everywhere Richard is

the ideal spot.
There is no question but that Emery
