lcddy TO take up the baseball work of
the year. Tommy had a telegram from
Joe McGinnity telling him to meet him
at the Continental Hotel this afternoon.
Joes telegram to the newspapermen
fixed last right as the time he would be
in He must have mixed his
dates.
Though Governor Spry has not issued
the statement that had been promised
as TO his final attitude ON the Jeffries-
johnson tight question, it Is generally.
understood from the talk that news
paper men had with the Utah ruler
last night that his original stand
against the fight being held in his
state will stand. He said that he has
found nothing to warrant him In
changing his original opinion. He says
that he might make a statement next
week. but went on further to say tina
perhaps no statement would be needed
at all from him. What he means by
that is hard to dope out. It cannot
be that he is giving the people a.
chance to exercise their wits to find
out just what will happen. 1t is a
yes it will, no it WON'T attitude. The

made public an agreement between
him, Sam Berger and Jeffries. This
agreement. so it is said. stated that
the fight is to take place in Salt Lake

the truth of that agreement stands IL
looks like a sure thing that Salt Lake
will see the fight and that Governor
Spru will mt feel naI1aJ ,,,a., t. ;e.,,a
a statement. being content to let those
who have the political power go on
with their plans. The fact. too. that
jeff is coming East instead of keeping
to the coast as it was his plan to do
WHEN the fight was planned for Frisco
help the Salt Lake situation. Another
little feature is the fact that Gleason
IS chasing jeff UP at Seattle. IT looks
as If Jack is trying to find out abou
the agreement held by Richard.

Jronside players of last year have sig
