by his dry splitter. Berger thought the
wet goods the best he had to deliver.
hnoades and Hess also dallied with 1t
more than a little, while Liebhardt
would no more have thought of pitch
ing without using the splitter than he
would have of jumping the club to sign
with the Twilight leaguers-
Chech has gone, SO has Hess, and
baltimore, Rhoades and Liebhardt-
Berger has practically divorced himself
from the splitter. Cy Young may use
TINS style of delivery now and then,
but he cannot be called a spitball
pitcher. Joss and Falkenioerg are two
pitchers who simply will not use the
ball made famous by, Chesbro and
Walsh, so if any of the Cleveland
twirlers try it this year it will have
70 be some of the recruits. Manager
Mcclure says he was careful when
scouting to pass up the pitchers who
had to wet the ball in order to puzzle
the batters.
Some spitters are all right says
Mcclure. 81 am not saying anything
against paen like Walsh and some 9TH
ers who have mastered the spitbal
without its affecting them physically.
but just the same 1 prefer recruits
who depend upon the good old speed
curves and change of pace. When
you have few spitters on your pitch
ing staff you are always running the
risk of having your catchers put out of
business

FRISCO GETS THE BIG FIGHT
Emeryvie Race Track Will Be the Scene-Another New
London to Norwich Run Today-Norwich Team to
Meet Westerly at Duckpins.

San Francisco, March S.-After
weeks of negotiating between the joint
promoters, it was definitely announced
tonight by Tex Richard and Jack
Gleason that the Jeffries and Johnson
fight on July would be held in an
arena within the racetrack enclosure
of the California Jockey club at En-
eryville, Alameda county, just across
the bay from San Francisco.
Il have the permission of Mr.. Will
liams to hold the fight in the race
track, and have finally decided that
this is where the big men will meet,
said Rickard tonight 1T is an ideal
place and we will be able to seat an
almost unlimited number of people. 1

attention to conducting the thousand
and one details incident to the hand
ling of the big affair"
4 have always been against the idea
of using the race track at Emeryv1lle
for anything but racing events said
President Williams. after the meeting,
sporting event of national Importance.
For that reason I have given my con-
sent that the men meet within the
Jockey club grounds"
E,meryville is situated between Oak
land and Berkeley, and is easily access
sible from San Francisco.
The announcement was made imme-
diately after a meeting in the offices
of the Jockey club, attended by Rick

of EneTyville, a suburb of Oakland.
Williams and Christie both Signif1ed
their Willingness TO have the fight

JOHNSON is CONFIDENT.
Compares Himself With Jcffries in
Fistic Points.

If confidence were all that was neces-
sary to settle the dispute between Jim
Jeffries and Jack Johnson for the
worlds heavyweight championship
then Johnson would stand a good
chance of winning. In sizing up the
big boilermaker during a recent visit
to Milwaukee, the colored champion
said:
1T would be foolish on my part to
say that 1 could whip Jeffries sure,
and that he would not have 4 look in.
Now, L do not expect to lose the fight,
but l do not look for a walkaway by
any means Jeffries was q wonderful
fighter before he retired and I guess
he is still a great fighter, but l am con-
ceited enough to think that I am a
little better than he is now and there
fore, I expect to win. I am just as
strong as he is, and if that is the case
] figure that I should win, because / am
younger and will be at my best, and
my stamina will be better than his In
addition, L believe that 1 am cleverer
than Jeff.
II know that I have a better left
hand than he has, and can fight on the
Then why should I not be able to go
along for quite a distance and wear
him out without taking chances and
then go in and win? + also know that
JEFF will be q different proposition than
eli, and would be foolish to say tina t.
he will not do as well as they did.
j effrleS may be able to come back
in the best of shape but you will find
that when it comes to a case of STAN
ina and ability to recuperate he will
not DE there. That was proved in the
case of Nelson and Wolgast. Nelson
used to be there with the comeback,
but after Wolgast had fought him to a
standstHl the Battler did not have any
reserve power. That is just what will
happen to Jeffries July next-he
will not be able to recuperate when his
strength begins to leave him.
They say JeffrieS weighs 225 pounds
now. but I know he is nearer 245
pounds, and he will no doubt fight at
about 215 to 220. 1 weigh about 22O
now, and expect to train down and
enter the ring at about 400 pounds.
Jeffries has G. little longer reach than
L have, but that will not matter
am six feet and quarter of an inch
in my stockings while Jeffries is about
half an inch taller.
After the fright I intend to go to
Europe for tour, no matter whether
win or not, but I expect to go as a
worlds champion. That story about
me meeting Tommy Burns again is a
fake L nave not agreed to any such
match, and will not unless I should get
the same terms that Burns handed me
when defeated him in Australia And
will pay no attention to Sam Lang
ford until after the big battle"

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
ovERcoMEs MARKET
Lively Dealings at the Opening-Then
Discouragement Appeared.

New York March S.@The dullness
which overcame the stock market af-
ter the lively dealings of the morning
was due to the discoura cement over
the obsta cles to the efforts made to
continue the advance in prices. Free
selling to realize profits was the most
party in the speculation Joined in with
short selling, watchful for symptoms
of a elimination of the rise.
The benevolent control of the mar
seen in the late revival of United
States Steel and the absorbent power
in face of the large selling to realize
had an encouraging effect on specu-
lative sentiment. The fostering care
given to the support of prices is cred
tied to the most influential banking
interests, and the motive attributed to
them is to help the market for the
large bond fotations which they have
in hand and in prospect. AT the same
time an active speculation In stocks at
this time Is professedly deprecated by
the larger banking interests, since such
a movement serves to divert attention
and resources from the bond market.
The determination of the New York
city financial authorities to fix the
coming s40,0o0,00o issue Of corporate
stock at 4 IA per cent. did not have
harmful effect, as it was accepted as a
settlement of a vexed problem and as
assurance of the success of the offer
ing by agreement with the bankers.
The incident serves as an object les
son, nevertheless. OF the exigencies
forced upon the seekers of new capital.
Another motive for strengthening the
stock market bv banking support
which was advanced as an explanation
of the current activity is the favorable
effect thus produced on trade activity.
Complaints were heard from the steel
trade of the diScouraging effect on the
demand from consumers of the long
decline in prices Of stocks which set
in after the first of the year. Stimu-
lated demand Is looked for from the
brisk recovery which has occurred IN
the price of United States Steel. Re-
vived rumors of dividend increases
were used with effect in advancing
prices today. New York Central was
particularly affected by this influence.
Hopeful views were expressed also of
the i'm proving prospects for corpora
tons on the side of national legisla-
ton. Satisfaction was protested with
the steps being taken in shaping the
railroad bill in congress. 1t was said
also that opinions by learned counsel
of the great corporations as to the
probable outcome of the governments
antitrust suits before the supreme
court had changed since the period of
greatest anxiety on that subject.
An excellent effect was produced by
the certainty of large foreign partici-
patton in the New York city bond is
sue. thus assuring an important offset
10 the unfa yorable trade balance.
Placing OF railroad bond issues abroad
last week helps to the same end.
Bonds were irregular Total sales,
par value, S3,497, 900. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.
