GOTCH'S DEMAND MAKES
SPORTING WORLD GASP

~ safe bet they blinked hard when
Gotch sent in his stipulations.
The champion didn't make any
bones about II. He said he was in
the game for the money and Zbyszko
and his hackers could take his terms
or there would be no match
The grab-all policy OF most OF the
top liners in boxing and wrestling has
disgusted all fair-minded lovers OF
these branches OF sport and Gotch is
champion OF a game which has been
in bad repute for a good many years.
His holdup OF the only man in this
country who Is conceded TO have a
chance against him hasn't made eth
er him or the game he represents any
more popular.
Formerly a champion Of the world
went along and met any man who
wanted TO meet him. Now the cham
pion meets whom he pleases, and be-
fore this meeting Is arranged demands
the lions share of the money offered.
It's a great businessmen.

OF BIG FIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO. May ls.-Fight
promoter Jack Gleason admitted to-
day that there was probability that
the Jeffries-Johnson fight would not
be held at Emeryyille on the Fourth
OF July. lie declared, however. that
the fight would positively be held In
California.
Gleason stated that the preponder.
ance or feeling among the merchants
and residents of Alameda county was
against holding the fight there and
therefore the place for holding the
bout would probably be changed. He
has not yet made a definite selection
but favors San Francisco. Several
California cities have made offers for
the fight, which are now being con-
sidered.

The because Is this. When Lawler

pull, Jack Coombs' pitching arm was
put to the bad by reckless slide TO
the home plate on the Huntington
avenue grounds. The club doctor and
another doctor as well, worked over
Jacks refractory arm while and
then told Connie Mack that they
could do nothing with II and Jack
would be out for the season, perhaps
for good. Coombs took the ultlmatum
stoicalIy and packed his little grip to
go home.
Lawler, a great friend of Jacks,
heard the news and asked Connie for
10 days in which TO see what he could
do with Coombs' arm. Connie gladly
gave his trainer the time and within
two weeks Coombs' arm was ready to
pitch winning ball again.
