.CHAMGE LOCATION
OF BIC 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 Emeryville on the Fourth
OF July. He declared, however. that
the fight would positively be held In
California.
Gleason stated that the preponder'
ance OF 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 AMERICAN LEAGUE
RACE In A NUTSHELL

Detroit and Boston were pre-
vented from playing Wednesday
by reason of rain.
Philadelphia won from Chicago
q to 2. Morgan and Walsh were
the opposing slabmen.
New York took the last game
Of the St. Louis series 6 to 8 on
the poor fielding Of the visitors.
Stremmel was hit hard in two In
nines while FrilI and Vaughn
were generally effective. Griess
made a triple, double and two
singles.
Washington beat Cleveland 4
to 3, although the Maps outbatted
the home boys. Groom was tight
with men on bases while the Ma
tionals drove Mitchell from the
slab, but could do little with

The peril OF the left-handers seems
to have been nobly lived down by

were regarded as
easy marks for any Port-side Finger.

was the way that it sometimes
worked out. One or two other clubs

But the past few weeks have seen
the teams that used to be trimmed by

their might and batting the left-hand-

In Boston was Just an example. The
Red Sox did unkind things to our Mr.
Killian, hitting the ball everywhere
except between his artistically curved
knees, while the Tigers likewise made
life sad thing for Collins, who was
terror to us last season.
CHANGING back over the accounts Of
previous games this sprirfg, the same
thing Is found often. The port-siders
have been getting decidedly the worst
OF heavy batting season. Hits have
been more numerous than usual this
year off all pitchers, except in a few
exceptional games, but the southpaws
have Jared worse than their dexter.
handed brethren. There are some Of

along, Plank. Of the Athletics, being
