LAPS CHARGE KNOX TRIED TO FORCE
 SHOW DOWN
Special from United Press )


 Tokio, Jan. 25-While the Japanese press treats with an unusual degree of reservation the governments rejection kof Secretary Knox's plan for the neu- traliZation of the Manchurian railways, there is increasing evidence of an un- dercurrent of resentment over the American State Departments interven- tion in the Far Eastern situation.
 Not only do the Japanese people be- lieve that Secretary Knox went be- yond his province in the recent pro- posal but the charge is now frequent ly heard that the proposal was made for the sole purpose of embarrassing Japan and forcing her to show her hand" in Manchuria.
 The proposal was not made. Japan ese statesmen declare in their private conversations, with any idea of it's ac- ceptance. Had the American State Department been really desirous of solving the Manchurian Railway queS- tions, a less drastic measure would have been proposed, the Japanese argue.
 It is not now believed that any of the further proposals will come from America. Certain it is that If one is made it will he radically dissimilar from the first one. It is believed that resentment over the first would lead to the rejection of a second.
 The recognition of mutual interests in Manchuria is to be but another way of saying that Manchuria is to be bone of contention between the two.

The 14th Co. who were enjoying a string of blanks in almost every inning after the second drew their second breath gathering two runs, which decided the game, 15-14.

JIM CORBETT TELLS
 WHY HE BELIEVES
 JEFFRIES WILL WIN

There is not very much doubt in the mind of James J. Corbett that Jeffries will be able to regain all of his old Jeffries to do this would be easy But he did say that Jeffries could do it. . To Corbett's notion, just one of the burly Californian's famous punches to the body-either left or right hand, it would not matter-and Johnson would lose at least 25 per cent of his speed, over 50 per cent of his nerve and some stated this Corbett reminiscently ad- ded, "I ought to know
 The former champion also said that Johnson had never as yet met fight CT of real class. Neither Burns, O'Brien, nor Ketchel was big enough or strong enough to show up what the negro had in him, said .Corbett. low streak in him was, of course, purely a matter of guesswork or opin- ion, Corbett said. But the 200 pounder who would assault man of only half his weight, meaning Finder, did not appeal much to Corbett's idea of what a game fighter should be.
 "But let's get right down to cases in this thing,'' said Corbett, "In the first place, I 'discovered' Jeffries. He was a shy, bashful kid when he came to my training camp when I was get ting ready to fight tFitzsimmons. He was the easiest, even if strongest, punching bag at that time that knew. But I told everybody in my quarters but Jeffries that if he ever learned the game he'd be champion.
 Then I have fought him twice. I managed to stay in the ring pretty we'll the first time, because I was a cleverer boxer than Jeffries. knew more about the game than he did. and I was faster on my feet. But even then he had the disconcerting trick of boring right in regardless of the punishment meted out to him and apparently there was no stopping him. Tn the second fight, when I managed to last ten rounds, I got punch in
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-01-25

the second round that let me and my seconds know it was simply ques- ton of minutes. And even at that hit Jeff all over the face, and had him looking like a piece of raw beef. Did it stop him? Hardly.
 'I'm just saying that much to show that I understand Jeffries from the time he was found right up to the present day. I'll know him not bit better after I have spent six weeks with him in his training for the John son fight And tell you this: Just as I came back-though they said I couldn't; just as I put up fight af- ter several years of absence from the ring, so Jeffries will come back. And if Jeffries is right, there isn't man living he cannot lick. I'm not so sure but that he doesn't have to be all right to beat. Johnson.
 "If Jeffries, ever gets one left or right handler to Johnson's body the negro will lose 25 per cent of his speed, That punch will show him up more than the negro dreams possible. And to say that Jeffries cannot get to him is nonsense. He got to me, didn't he and I have always been considered as good a boxer, if not better, than John son ever laid claim to being? Jeffries landed just twenty three blows on my body in the ten-round fight at San Francisco. That shows he can get to a shifty man, doesn't it?5 Any one of those punches will be quite enough to cost Johnson 50 per cent of his nerve and 75 per cent of his strength, in addition to his loss, in speed.
 And now, whom has Johnson ever met that entities him to be called first-rater? Burns was neither heavy nor game enough to extend anywhere near a first-cless man. O'Brien had one foot in the pugilistic grave when he met Johnson in six-round bout at Philadelphia, and even then the ne- gro could not put both of O'Brien's feet where one already was. Ketchel? Why, he's a human windmill, ready to bore in and take 8 chance of land ing a knockout blow. But he's simply of the street-fghter type. He'll never beat a man that knows much about boxing, and who can also hit hard"

WINTER PRACTICE
 FOR YALE SQUAD

New Haven,5 Jan 25.-Yale will be the first of the big universities to get under way in it's preparations for foot ball play next season. Capt. Daily will soon issue orders for winter prac- tice, and it is now. certain that before the close of the present week the can cidateS for centre rush and quarter lack, as well as a few of the half back candidates. will be instructed in the fine points of putting the ball in play on the gymnasium floor. It is planned to have two or three days practice each week on the gymnasium floor in snapback work until the weather permits the players to prac- tice on the gridiron. Then there will be about three weeks of practice in bunting. and the spring drill will close about May 1.
 Yale started the plan of winter prac- tice last year. and the results were found to be practical Capt. Ted Coy was assisted by Back Field Coach Henry Wheaton, but Head Coach HOW ard Jones could not be present This winter Capt. Fred Daily will be as- sisted throughout the practice by Ted Coy, and he will be his head coach next fall. The freshman players of the eleven will receive special atten- tion. as Cooney, the Varsity rush, will graduate in June. Howe, the Var sity quarterback, will return next fall, but a first class substitute quarterback is to be developed.

NELSON MAY RETIRE
 BECAUSE OF DEAFNESS

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 25.-Deafness caused, it is said. by the tattoos re- ceived in many of his endurance tests in the ring, covering a period of more than ten years. may cause the retire ment of Oscar Battling Matthew Nell son, the champion lightweight.
 The durable Dane does not think so but fight followers that watched him train here during two weeks, and who noticed him in action in his fight against Eddie Lang, expressed aston ishment at the Battler's movements which showed plainly that extreme caution was taken in his corner by his seconds to signal to him in many ways

NOTHING TO IT BUT JEFF, SAYS
 BILLY PAPKE
By Billy Papke.

Aspirant to middleweight champion ship, and only man of his class who ever stopped Stanley Ketchel. All of Johnson's friends are bas- ing their hopes on one particular
 point, Will Jeff come back?' Take it from me, he is back. When he steps into the ring you will never know that he was ever away.
 The one point that makes me figure Jeff sure winner is Johnson's re- cent fight with Ketchel. Stanley stayed twelve rounds before Jack put
 him away. How long would Ketchel last, with Jeff even now? About two minutes. Strictly dope, but it's the real article. Very few realize what a natural born fighter Jeffries is. He is above the normal man in height He possesses body that is impossible to
 hurt. And he has a wallop that would
 kill steer. These three advant ages form a combination that always brings home the money.
 Jeffries told me that he would nev- CT consider fighting Johnson if he was not absolutely positive that he could lick him.
 While Jeff is going about matters in a methodical manner, what is Johnson doing? The glory of eating chicken and drinking the bubble water has got such a strangle on him that he spends his days enjoying himself. This makes it appear as if the ques- tion should be: Will Johnson come back?''
 Jeff will make the colored fellow mix it up right from the start. The big fellow is going to make the fight a bitter one and get it over as soon as possible. There will not be any stalling on Johnson's part. He will find this big bear all over him and will soon. find out that it is a real fight. Jeff hates every bone in John sons body. And when he slams over a few he will add to their power his anger. The only fight when Jeffries was real sore was when he nearly killed Jack Monroe. This will be a repetition.
 ''Will Jeff come back?" If you get a ticket on the big fellow it will be like money inyourpocket.

BOXING.


 Charlie Goldman, one of the num- erous champion bantam weights of the east side, knocked out Marty Hef- ron of Brooklyn in the eighth round of what was scheduled to be ten round bout, at Brooklyn, last night.
 Fresh from. a successful Western tour, Hefron showed remarkable gameness and flashes of cleverness during the mill. In the first round his left eye was completely closed, partly from wallops by Goldman, but mainly by the resin on the floor, which Marty foolishly rubbed into his eye.
 The handicap proved too much for Hefron, and, after battling seven rounds with one eye completed closed, he stalked gamely to the certain de- feat that was staring him in the bat tered face. Tn the eighth terrific right jolt under the heart ended the battle.

EDDIE COLLINS A COMER
 AMONG BASE=STEALERS

Cap Anson says that only few ball players are famous nowadays, while in olden times every big leaguer was a hero. This truth may not be pleas ing to the rank and file ball player, but on the other hand one must ad- init that these stars deserve all that is coming to them. Mike Kelly ab- sorbed public worship in his years of triumph, being an all-around genius, and so now does Cobb, Collins, Math- ewson and Wagner.
 The player, is the first person to give credit where it is due. You cannot find one but will wag his head and admit Cobb is certainly a wonder on bases. He'll break up any inside stuff He uses his nut''
 Eddie Collins is nearly in the same class as the Georgian capitalist. He may equal Cobb's performance this year in base stealing. Last season he enty-six. Their combined efforts make a record in up-to-date baseball. And you want to remember that with the constant use of the hit and-run it means more than it did ten years ago to steal this number of sacks. Instead of using ones Judgment on a. steal the player has to work with his team, run with the hitter, and it is really mar velous how these athletes managed to get away with the best of catchers in the league. Cautiously enough, both Cobb and Collins appeared to find the expert thrower, Billy Sullivan, very easy. For New York Ed Sweeney shows up well. particularly with Cobb. who only got him for one sack. Col 1ins had his goat six times. Kleinow kept tight check on Collins, but the Tiger coyote beat his throw on six oc- casions. Following statistics show what the American League catchers did with these speed marvels:

INSANE MAGICIAN
 HELD FOR MURDER
CHARGED WITH KILLING LITTLE ARTHUR SHELLEY AND ROBBIE LOMAS.
Special from United Press.)

New York, Jan. 25.-Herbert Jerome Dennison, a former magician, who has spent much of his time for the past twelve years in insane asylums, is held today on the charge of murdering little Arthur Shibley and Robbie Lomas, the boys who were shot to death in High bridge Park two weeks ago while coasting.
 Dennison was arrested last Friday and in Night Police Court was held without bond for further examination within AS hours. The arrest of Den- nison was made in a Long Island san itarium, where his mother had sent him some time after the shooting. The finding of a revolver yesterday in Highbridge Park. a short distance from the spot where the lads were murdered, caused the arrest. The de- tectives have been watching Dennison ever since the shooting but had been unable to secure sufficient evident to warrant an arrest. The revolver so closely resembled one that Dennison was known to have carried that In- spector McCafferty ordered the ar rest.
 A cueer phase of the case is that Dennison was formerly connected with Hermann, the great magician. It was his duty to stand to one side Of the stage while Hermann fired wax bullets at him. Dennison became pro- ficient in magic and went on the stage for himself, his speciality being to shoot wax bullets at boys who volunteered from the audience. The police believe that in shooting at the Shibley and Lomas boys if indeed he is the mur- derer his crazed brain imagined he was shooting wax bullets as he did in his stage days.
 The police have discovered a,sbarber who cut Dennisons hair and shaved his beard the night of the tragedy. The man who did the shooting wore long hair and unkemDt beard
