Athletics at Yale for
Year Expensive

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, July S.-Yale' s
athletics last year cost s104.940, ac-
cording to the annual report filed last
night by the financial committee of the
Yale athletic committee, which includes
Walter Camp. Henry B. Sargent and
Prof. Theodore S. Woolsey.
A feature of the report is the fact
that track athletics alone show an in
crease in receipts for the year which
closed in September, 1909. Football
receipts were $S6,970, a decrease of
s4,171; baseball receipts were s4,729, a
decrease of $40, and track athletics
show an increase of S1,397 and a total
receipt list of $3,811.
Track athletics cost s13,364. an in
crease of $3.50; baseball cost S22,7S7. a
decrease Of s6,254; boating cost s19.-
SIS. an increase of S776, and football
s37 $40, a decrease of $S,sSS.
The sum of $500 was expended for
minor athletics and $4,000 for the Car
negie swimming pool This leaves a
balance of profit from athletics of
$4.331 for the year as compared with
1906 the previous year.

SOUTHSIDE CLUB
TRIMS Fight FANS
Promoter Gets the Money in
Box Office Before Calling
Off M ain Event

The Southside club, of which Charley
Cleaver is the guiding star, bunkoed
a big crowd at Dreamland rink last
night by advertising four round con-
test between One Round Hogan, the
crack lightweight, and Red Cornett. The
fans gathered at the pavilion to see the
scrap, but after the promoter got the
money in the box Office the crowd was
informed that Cornett was i'll and the
fight was called off.
From other sources comes the report
that the club refused to pay Hogan
the money which was promised him. and
he refused to fight for the pittance
offered him. 1t was case of extor-
tion, and it is up to the supervisors
to refuse this club a permit in the
future.
The other fights were very ordinary
and the contestants were poorly
matched. In the last event Nick Hardy
won four round decision from Jeff
Perry. Tony Silva pummeled Puggy
Cove and was given the verdict at the
end of four rounds. Johnny Ryan
peppered Sailor Hansen with rights and
lefts and the latter was rescued from
the slaughter in the second round.
Tommy Mcfarland put Sailor Dye to
sleep in the opening round Willie
Meehan outelassed frankie Burke and
the bout was stopped before round
was finished. Johnny Roche pummeled
Tom Corbett and got the verdict. Will
lie Riley had no trouble in stopping

JEFF, DOWNCAsT,
ARRIVES AT HOME
Jack Ripper Acts as Spokesman
and Scouts RumOr That He
Was "D0ped'

Los ANGELES, July S.-Still moody,
downcast and silent, James ]. Jeffries
arrived home today from his dis
astrous experience in Reno. He came
on the Owl from San Francisco with
his wife and party and, avoiding a
few friends at the depot, stepped into
an automobile and was driven to his
town house.
There was no demonstration at the
station. Jeffries sent word in advance
that he would not talk to any one,
and kept his word His right eye is
still badly discolored.
In the party with Jeffries were Jack
Kipper, Jeffries' business partner; Mrs.
Kipper, Brother Jack. George Consi-
dine, Nat Goodwin, Sam Berger and
Jeffries' two nephews.
Jeffrfes took pains to avoid letting
many see him. There was crowd at
the Arcade station awaiting the arrival
of his train, but he quietly dropped
Off at River station with Mrs. Jeffries.
He remained in town but 15 minutes,
leaving at once for his alfalfa ranch
at Burbank.
That the optic nerve of Jeffries'
right eye was damaged by the blow
delivered by Johnson in the second
round at Reno was evidenced in a re-
mark made by Ripper to an inter-
viewer.
Jeff" said Kipper. doesn't know
anything about the rumors of doping
that have been flying about. He can
not see to read yet. He hasn't read
word about the fight and nobody has
told him a word of all that has been
said
Kipper himself scouts the idea that
Jeff was doped. However, he says the
big fellow was not himself mentally
when he entered the ring.
worry ruined all Jeffries' chances
he declared. Toward the last he re-
ceived hundreds of kilograms from
men who pleaded with him to win
saying he had to win, that they had
bet their all on him. This sort of
thing preyed on his mind. This dope
stuff is all rot"
Jeffries will remain at the ranch un-
til tomorrow when he will start for
Catalina island, where-if he does not
change his mind-he will pass a fort
night or more, while his broken spirit
and battered countenance are mending
After the Catalina trip he will seek

To get away from civilization, friends
and critics seems to be his main OBJ

see any one except his partner, Jack

to sbe a champion at Reno on the fourth

FUTURlTY TO BE
RUN AUGUST 20
Fall Meeting at Saratoga May
Be Extended to Include
COney Island Dates

Schuyler Parsons. president of the
coney Island jockey club. has an
nounced that the Futurity would likely
be run at Sheepshead Bay August %.
but plans regarding the remainder of
the fall meeting had not been settled
1t is understood some of the directors
are still undecided whether to vote for
an extension of the season at Saratoga
so as to include the dates assigned the
Coney Island jockey club. The fact
that the directors liability law goes
into effect September / in New York
is responsible for the doubt as to the
situation. In some quarters it is
thought at test will be made.

World in the VernaI stake at Sleeps
head Bay, is by the great French
horse Adam and out of Disadvantage.
She is owned by the Newcastle stable.
for which Tom Welsh trains. 1t was
the first defeat of Round the World
and it develops that the Yanke fflly
suffered some interference at the start
Bashti led her all the way and won
handily by four lengths. Each of the
fllies carried 123 pounds.
The Brighton handicap to be run at
Empire City today has a value OF
$4,000, of which $4,000 goes to the win
ner. The event is at a mile and a
quarter.
On the opening day at Fort Erie bets
on the handicap steeplechase were de-
clared off, owing to the race being
falsely run. The man whose duty it
was to remove the bar across the gap
leading from the field to the main
track, forgot to act in time and Ex-
pansionist, the leader, continued on
some distance before he could be
pulled up. DR.. Pillow, Corley and Ber-
goo got through the gap when the at
tendant finally woke up and they fin
ished in that order, but the officials
were prompt in declaring bets off.
Silver Stocking was claimed at Salt
Lake City for 800 by Blonger & Mil
sapp, owners of Oberon.
When the meeting opened at Fort
Erie 32 layers were in line and did
good business.
Secretary Percy w. Treat of the Pa
cific jockey club yesterday received
communication from Manager Richard
Dwyer, applying for dates for the Salt
Lake fall meeting. AS already an
nounced it is desired to have racing
from September II to October 81. Dur
Ing that period seven days of the
sport will be under the auspices of the

lis street near Powell, appeared before
Police Judge Shorta1l yesterday on a
charge of battery and Stanley Roberts,
a member of the BARRIERS union, on a

The shop was open on the fourth and
Roberts showed his head in and told
the BARRIERS they should have enough
