Mayberry, the coy one with the
dainty walk. will probably be on the
mound for the visitors. One of the
Bugs strongest pitchers some time
ago, Mayberry has gone back since
the injury to Joe Laughlin, the Bugs
star receiver. He has been losing
quite a number OF games OF late. II
is quite possible. however. that Muir
ray will be able to hold him up to
form.
Cowsn win be at the receiving end
again. and II is hoped that he VIII
ind the pill for another triple with
the bases occupied as he did on
Thursday.
The Colts punched hits in the eighth
and won handily In Thursdays game,
but had they been able to hit con-
sistently throughout the game the
Bugs would have been swamped and
thoroughly Inundated Eight Colts
were left on the sacks, and In some
instances any kind OF a hit would
have brought men in. Moilinex was
particularly fortunate in the pinches,
and he received great support from
the team back OF him.
Morrissey did not allow the Bugs
many chances TO score. but they ac-
rntfteti every possible chance and got
men home In each instance where
they had ghost of a show Only
three were left on base. which shows
that the Deacon was going some.

JEFF GOES FISHING
IN MONTEREY BAY
Eddie Graney Holds Mysterious
Conference With Big Fellow
at R0Wardennan

BEN EOMOND, May 1S.-There was
little or nothing doing at the Jeffries
training camp today. In company with
the members of his staff and number
of personal friends, Jeffries spent most
of the day fishing in Monterey bay. The
party left early this morning and were
Joined by the women of the camp early
in the afternoon. The Jeffries crew
dined with Ed Moody in Santa Cruz
and returned to Ben Lomond late this
evening.
Regarding the switching of the fight
from Emeryville to San Francisco, jeff
ries had this to say this afternoon:
II have not been notified by the pro-
moters of any change, but I'd just as
soon box in San Francisco as any place
l know. Most of my big championship
battles were decided there, and the
town has always been a lucky one for
me-"
Jeffries win be back on the training
job in the morning, and put the fishing
habit behind him for a week at least.
Next Sunday night Jeffries will spar
six rounds with his partners in a Santa
Cruz theater, and also go through his
gymnasium route. The show is the
first Of a series of three arranged to
help pay the expenses of the training
camp.
Eddie Graney, who was a prominent
candidate for referee before Rickard
secured the job, left for San Francisco
today after short visit to the camp.
Graney was closeted for half an hour
with Jeffries last night and while he
declared that he called merely for the
purpose of renewing friendships, his
presence here has an element of mys-
terry in it which has caused some specu-

JM RES AND JACK JOHNSON WILL CLASH IN THIS CITY ON JULY
PAPKE TO FIGHT
THOMAS TONIGHT
Crack Middle Weights Sched-
uied to Go Twenty Rounds
at Dreaniand Pavilion

Joe Thomas, the popular California
welter weight, will be given the chance
of his life tonight at Dreamland rink
to win back the prestige he lost to
Stanley Ketchel when he meets Billy
Papke, the Kewanee fighter. The local
lad will have an opportunity to show
that he is still there and is a fighter
who has a chance with any of the mid
die weights
though the consensus of opinion
among the fans is that Papke is too
much for the local lad, Thomas is full
of confidence and believes that he can
beat the easterner. There was a time
that Californians thought Joe was the
greatest man in the world at his
weight, but couple of defeats here at
the hands OF Ketchel seem TO have
lowered his stock in the local lighting
market, though he still retains his
popularity.
MADE GOOD IN EAST
Thomas left here after his defeats
and went east to regain the reputation
which had been shattered by Ketchel.
He went to other fields and performed
creditably. In fact, so well that the
local promoters were forced to recog-
nize him again. In Papke, Thomas
game thoroughly. He has a punch
which he plainly showed when he
Knocked out Hugo Kelly in jig time.
1t would be a severe setback to
Papke if Thomas beats him, and at the
same time the local fighter would jump
into the limelight again. The bettors
do not seem to fear that Papke is likely
to meet with a reverse. Papke is a big
favorite, ? to / being offered that he
h. Il &c, ,,,N&
much betting -on the result, but the
round bettor is getting a big play. 1t
is even money that Papke wins inside
of 10 rounds Thomas has many sup
porters who think he will last this
