INSPECTOR REFS LOOKS FOR

THE GAME.

Lovers Of the wrestling game will
have an opportunity of seeing some
exhibition work at the Y. M. G. A
soon. A big tournament is planned to
be held the evening OF Feb. 10 in The

and the winners in each class will
each be presented with a Y. M. c. A,
emblem fob. The A intermediates
and the newsboys, the high school
and employed boys and young men
and students classes will all partici-
pate.
There is a great deal of interest
taken in wrestling since the class
started about two weeks ago, md
some of the boys give promise Of de-
veloping into sturdy mat artists. The
class is known as the wrestling club
and it will be necessary co limit the
membership. 1t is expected that the
limit will be reached before the end
of the week.
A splendid new mat 16x16 feet In
size has been installed and this has
proved TO be one of the most popular
additions ever made to the gym
equipment.
The club has grown so fast that il
has been decided to put the high
school and intermediate classes in
charge Of Fred Wood.

"CHIEF" Meyers
TOLD THE truth

good story is going the rounds
about Chief Meyers the Indian
catcher now playing with the New
York giants.
1t seems that Ralph Glaze, who is
now pitching for the Indianapolis
team Of the American association. dis
covered CHIEF out in Colorado i'm
1904 and was very favorably impressed
with him as ball player. Glaze at
that time was attending Dartmouth
college and conceived the idea that
Myers would make a valuable addi-
ton to the Dartmouth baseball squad.
Accordingly he talked college so long
and so well to the big Indian that Mey-
ers, whose real name is Chief Tortoise,
promised to go back to Hanover with
him, If he could arrange the entrance
requirements.
This was not an easy matter as
Jack had nothing in his possession that
looked the least bit like a diploma.
They finally decided upon substituting
the diploma Of an Indian named will
liams, whom Meyers knew, and he ac-
cordingly went east and entered under
that name
All went we'll for about a month.
Then one day Meyers received a note
from the dean requesting. him to come
up to the deans office. Jack hardly
expected to be called upon by the fac
Eulty and congratulated so soon an as
a result went up feeling trlfie
nervous.
Waving all preliminary and intro
ductory remarks the dean greeted him
as follows: Mr.. Meyers, have writ
ten back to Colorado and find that the
only Indian by the name of Williams
who ever graduated from the school
How about it?
Yes, he had red hair, said the thor
oughly frustrated Meyers, without a
moments hesitation.
We'll, how do you account for this
diplomat" said the dean, pointing to
the one Meyers had presented on enter
ing school.
I'll get Glaze" said Meyers, and
he bolted out of the door.
He found Glaze about the campus
and told him the sad story. why
didn't you lie to him, you simpleton.' .
said Glaze, worried over his own i'm
plication in the affair.
II couldn't lie to him." retorted
Jack; ''he looked at me like a tree

JOnNSON'S MANAGER
IS FOXY in Betting

manager of Jack Johnson, made a
proposition which may result in action.
Little, who is in New York. has a
$500 forfeit which he offers for a
100000 bet at ringside odds on the
Jeffries-Johnson fight.
There is nothing detrimental co the
lighting game to be gained by criti-
cism of our actions" said Little. 1--WE
are as confident as ever of victory.
but why should we tie up thousands
of dollars at even money when we are
sure that better figures can be OBJ
tanned? Any man who had the Jeff
ries end of the fight can come to me
and be accommodated. but insist on
forfeit Ringside odds Is the basis
of all betting in this fight Naturally
hope that Jeffries is a 4 to / or
larger favorite.
johnson is a fighter who can fight.
Jeffries thinks he can do the same
stunts that a boy who threatens his
father. And Johnson Is no grandpa
Of the ring. He is three years younger
than Jeffries and has always fought
under the handicap of color"

REAL
AMERICAN BREED

OF late there has been considerable
controversy going on as to the ma
tionality Of James ]. Jeffries, who is
matched to meet Jack Johnson for the
heavyweight championship of the
world July next. Owing to the prom
inence of the two men and the fact
that Jaffries is endeavoring to win
back the championship to the white
race, 1T is interesting to know all
about the man at the present time.
1t is well known that Jeffries was
born in small town named Carroll.
Ohio, April Is, 1875, and is the son
Of prominent minister Of that place.
AS to his nationality, jeff comes from
the good old Scotch on his fathers
side and Dutch on his mothers side.
Both Of his parents were born in this
country and even his grandparents
were. His mother came from the old
Pennsylvania Dutch which were
among the early arrivals in the east.
while his fathers parents were from
the Highlands of Scotland.
His fathers people settled in the
south, his father in later years settling
in Ohio
While Jeffries does. not appear to
be as tall as Johnson, still the fact
remains that he is " inches taller.
The difference is probably not so
noticeable owing to the fact that Jeff
possesses a massive pair of shoulders
and probably does not carry himself
quite so erect as Johnson. AS to their
weight, there will not be great deal
of difference as Jeffries at the present
time scales about 23O pounds and
johnson about 215 pounds. Jeffries
will train town to about 215 pounds
for the fight while Johnson will prob
ably scale around 200 and possibly
205 pounds.
