CONTEST
 OVER THE FIGHT Gleason and R,ckard Are Dis- putting Over Battle Ground ] JEFFRlES HAS FINAL SAY, San Francisco Sporting Men Believe the Fight Will Be Pulled Off in
 That City, But They Are
 Not Certain.
 

San Francisco, January 16.-A bitter controversy is on between the two men who are to handle the Jeffries and John son championship fight. Jack Gleason of San Francisco and Tex Rickard of Ne- vada are in a warm dispute over the se-i lection of battle-ground.
 Tex Rickard issued a fiat statement last night that the fight would take place in Salt Lake City or it's immediate vicin- fly. In response Jack Gleason just as positively stated that Jeffries and John son would meet in San Francisco or nearby.
 1E the situation developing the positions stand tonight that Rickard charges that Gleason has hot advanced one cent on the transaction so far. Of the S101,000 guar antee only s2O.Oo0 has been posted, it Is said, and MT. Rickard asserts that Gleason did not put up cent of the for felt money and hence, he says, he can not assume to dictate terms.
 MT. Gleason denied that MT. Rickard couio not have become partner in the enterprise if it had not been for the Glea- son influence with Samuel Berger and James J. Jeffries.
 The balance of power seems to be with the fighters and the San Francisco sport ing fraternity is almost unanimous in the opinion that the fight will be held where MT. Jeffries dictates it shall be held. Nothing has been heard, however, from either of the principals since Glea- son and Packard fell out.
 When all is said and done the big fight will be held here" saie Jack Glea3 son tonight at the Olympic club. 'I don t care what Tex Rickard says about 1t. know what I am talking about If Rick ard does not care to live up to his agree nent I will take the fight off his hands. I am ready at any time to take the whole th,ng. I can handle this fight and I in- tend to handle at least my end of it. say again that if Tex does not want to go through with it, as we agreed to do, I will relieve him of any further responsi- b.lity.'

Governor Puts Pan on Fiaht.

Chicago. January 16.--'1rhere will be no fight in Salt Lake City or any other place in Utah. The authorities will take what ever drastic steps that are necessary to prevent it, said Go sernor Sperry of Utah. who arrived in Chicago late to- night.
 T have made this assertion before" continued the executive but I repeat it now with emphasis There is no use of these sporting men keeping up the talk of overthrowing the law in Utah. It would be absurd if a couple of fight pro- motors could nullify the law at their con- venience. The law is asalnst the fight and we simply will not permit if.
 "I do not think it would be necessary to call out the militia to prevent an att tempted fight, but we would take what ever drastic action that would be neces- say. It is generally understood that the fight is to take place in California, and we do not think there is any danger of our state being invaded. As for the s,,..A posed guarantee having been put upGy Salt Lake business men. it had no off ficia1 sanction,h concluded the governor.

HILDRETH AFTER
 KEYNES CARCASS
YEARS RACING SEASON OPENS APRIL 15, WITH THESE TWO IN LlMELleHT-1s1o BETTER THAN THOSE OF 1909.
By HILLARY H. oLMANN.

New York, January 16.-The years rac- ing season in the east will open on April 15 and from present indications the strug- James R. Keene and Samuel C. Hildreth. MT. Keene by far has the most promis- ing string of entries ready for the sea- son but Hildreth's friends declare that his plans have been kept more or less in the dark and he will dawn upon the turf in April in all the splendor of a winning stable
 On account of the renewed activity in turfdom in the east the Jockey club has been having a difficult time to assign dates for the spring, summer and fall so that there will be no conflict The advent of Brighton Beach back into ac. tive turf affairs rather complicated mat ters. With Brighton we shall have rac- ing at Aqueduct, Jamaica, Belmont Park, Gravesend, Shepherds Bay and Empire City. Rather an important layout, eh |? Looks pretty nifty for old 1910, notwith- standing the urgings which Governor Hughes is giving the New York legisla- ture. Think we shall do some lively business in the east this summer.
 Saratoga made application for the en- tire month of August, another promising outlook. The annual meeting of the Sar- atoga directorate was held this week when extra emphasis were given to this
 request. As the Spa management fur
 nished the best sport of 1909 in the east
 and as they have hung up nearly a quar-
 0 n Inll of
 and stakes for the coming summer, their
 desires are receiving respectful atten- ton.
 The management of Brighton has not been backward about advancing it's claims for restoration to full and complete rac- ing. Nearly 300 entries have been made for Brighton this coming summer, which is a might fine augury.
 Sam Hildreth, whose rivalry with Mir Keene will furnish some pretty sport this year, has seven entries in the Bright on handicap for 1910. Among them are 1 King James, Firestone and F'itz Herbert 1 P s. F. Randolph has nominated Patsy I for the same event and, according to ! the form shown by Patsy at Jackson | vile, his odds may be around or 4 t. l l. Robert Forsythe Little, whose string
 is in charge of Tom Walsh, has 20 nom- ! nations for the various stakes at Bright. I on Beach this year. His good youngster l Prince Imperial, about whom l told you all week or so ago. has been noni-
 mated to several very important events. ! To give an idea of the cheerful outlook ! just let me whisper that so far there 1 have been 30 nominations for the Brook i lyn handicap for 1910. Last year there 1 were 19. I predict that before the en. 1 tries close this number will be aug 1 mented to 3b. Among the prominent own. l CTS who have made nominations in ths | Brooklyn handicap are James R. Keene l H. Payne Whitney,, Robert Forsythe Lit l tie, Sam Hildreth. R. T. Wilson. Jr., c l c. Smithson, William Walker H. K 1 Knapp, w. L. Price. August Belmont ] c. L. Harrison and the Quincey stable

but not one in the world champion class. There is Jimmy Gardner, a husky lad, but not world astonisher. Then there are Honey Melody of the mellifluous name; Mike Twin) Sullivan of New England; i; Harry Lewis and Willie Lewis, not to mention other members of the Lewis family. They have all fought each other but not one of them can whip every men- Der of the circle. Each signs himself ''welterweight champion" and each claims that the other is bunk. Can you beat it? I suggest series of elmina- tion fights to establish who really Is fit for welterweight championship. That seems to be the one solution of the prob lem.
 ''Way, gentlemen, for Young Fftzsim- mons, Jr., the avenger of Old Bob and the v1ndication of the Fitzsiminons family Young F1tz is a strapping youth and he's bound to beat Lang and Squires and Burns to pulp, then clean up Johnson and Jeffries and Langf0rd and Ketchel and Nelson and then he Is going to Eu- rope and wipe Paris and Lodon of the map.
 Yep, that's the dope. I get it straight from the lower crust of the planet. Young Fitz got plumb Tiled at the way poor old, broken down Bill Lang put 1t over Bob, Sr., so he announced that he would get in condition and wipe all the smudge off Bob's pugilistic record. All joking aside though if young Bob shows old Bob's old-time form he may do some of those things at that. He is 16 years old.
 There will sure be bunch of special trains flying across the country next June towards some spot in California or Nevada or Utah. One hundred New York fight fans have signed an agreement to go on a special managed by John G.. Cavanaugh, who handled the Pimlico and Saratoga special trains for turfmen in recent years. Many figure on living on the train while in the west, saving hotel bills. Billy Gibson, of the FairmOnt Attn letic club, has also been busily arrang- ing special. Billy expects to gather enough sports from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago to make his train profitable. understand train will be run from New Orleans. They will stop off in Denver.
 Well, Johnson stiu has . chance to cop $40. 900 no matter whether he wins the Jeffries fight or not. Hugh Mcintosh ca bles from Sydney, Australia. that he would guarantee a purse of $400O0 for fight between Johnson and Tommy Burns in Sydney next September regardless of the outcome of the fight here on July {. Mcintosh generously offers the whole purse to the winner. Johnson IS still lingering on his chances. He doesn't like the Australian atmosphere but then he may go. Forty thousand is some money. Joe Jeannette turned down an offer to fight Sam Langford saying his Paris en- | agreements would not permit o, you en- ! agreements.

 Although the venerable Pop Anson has played his last baseball game, he has not said his last say. The once great diamond favorite, no longer drawing card, alas, maintains that the players of old, Wil- liamson, Pfeffer, ct al, were greater than the Wagners the Cobbs and the Mathew sons of the present; that "Buck'' EwinG was far and away better catcher thaN Johnny Kling. Anson should know, haN ing seen both at their best, but there Is a lingering suspicion that the game has run away from the ''old man." and that his ability to judge has been impaired.
