EIERAI,D'S I, >
RLALTO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

EPORTS from the east are to th'
! X the effect that Jeffries has signed
Ia up with a magazine, whereby the
monthly story pamphlet gets the eXclu-
sive rights to his stories a la Roosevelt
of his hunting trip in Africa after he
whips johnson. Jeff does not like darl
meat. but the yellow metal certainly
appeals to him, and if he can pick Ut
some dough on the side and get his
| expenses paid for a long vacation in the
iungles he certainly will not pass it up.
1t might not be a bad idea for him to
try the jungles first, as he might get
better acquainted with the gorillas and
know better how TO fight them. Stlu,
his experience in Frisco next July vii!
enable him to fight them better in the
1ungles afterWard, and as he seems TO
be in little danger when opposed to
only one of them it might help him out
when he is opposed to a bunch right
fresh from the cocoanut trees.
Bat Johnson has bobbed UP again.
This time he is asking the Frisco pro
moters to put him on with Gunboat
Smith or Jack Burns, guaranteeing
that he will stop either or both of them.
If taking a beating counts for any
thing, Johnson would have been a re-
tired and undefeated champion long
ago.
Colonel Bob. the champion 3-year-old
of the first Santa Anita season, came
back to his own yesterday when he
spreadeagled his field in six-furlong
dash. He was turned out all the sea-
son of 1909, after being fired, but seems
now to be back in his best form.
Chick Wrights billiard parlors in
Frisco deserve the name. He has the
finest billiard parlors in the world and
an academy, or small theater, Is in
cluded in the outfittings. This academy
will seat 300 persons, and when academy
games or match games are being
played the main billiard hall will be
left for the use of the patrons, while
those who desire to witness the big
game may sit and look on. The seats
are arranged in tiers so that all may
see the table where the game is being
played.
Practically all the topnotch Jockeys
of the day are signed up for next sea-
son. Shilling is under contract to Sam
Hildreth from April to November,
Dugan will ride for August Belmont,
with Hildreth holding second call, and
Powers will ride for Barney Schrieber
and Tom continue to ride in the bushes
for Dunlap & Garrity, unless that firm
ships to Argentine Republic.
San Pedro will be back on the box
ing map in a short time. The pro-
moters of the San Pedro Athletic club,
which formerly held fights there, will
revive the sport and are looking for
some good scrappers to make up the
opening bill. Luke Kelly never does
things by halves, and if he cannot get
a good card he will have none. So all
you near-champions might do well by
getting in touch with him.
What IS the betting that James COZ
froth, the sunny one, does not wind up
with the big fight running under his
direction out at Colma or even inside
Mayor McCarthys preserves? Coffroth

Picato is sticking close around the
14O-pound mark and giving greater at
tention to condition than weight. 1t
will be dead easy for him to get down
to the required notch, as he will take
off only about a pound a day for the
next two or three days and then dry
out the remainder. He is training
harder than ever at Doyle's club, as
he hopes to be able to redeem himseu
for the few defeats that appear IN MS
record and a decisive victory over
Memsic, now that this scrapper is back
in his best form, will mean much IN
added prestige for the local boy.
He is doing long runs on the road
every forenoon and his afternoon
workout is thorough in every partic-
ular. Andy Rivers is training with
him and makes an admirable sparrlng
partner. They went five fast and live
ly rounds yesterday afternoon as
windup to the days stunts. Frank be-
lieves he will be able to stop Memslc
with one of his right hooks and IS
developing that punch back to its old
time terrible effectiveness.
Memsic worked more than an hour
in the Eastside gymnasium yesterday
afternoon. as a climax to the big days
work he is doing every day. He still
shows that confident smile while work
ing and seems to be inspired by his
excellent condition and prospects for
the future. MAKE no mistakes for the
future" is his pet phrase, and he is
going at his training along these lines.
His wind is in better condition now
than in many months and he pulls up
after his long and strenuous workouts

JOHNSON WANTS TO MAKE
GOVERNOR CHANGE MIND

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Shifting with
all the agility that good pugilist is
supposed to have, Jack Johnson has
now decided that the championship bat
tie should take place in Salt Lake City.
Johnson received a telegram last night
from Tex Rickard, and after reading
it, he declared positively he would
fight Jeffries in Salt Lake City. "Rick-
ard has the goods now" insisted John
son. THE Governor? Isn't it possible
for big fighters to make a governor
change his decision? Anyway, I'll be
there to furnish my part of the enter
tainment and 1t will be a pleasant af-
fair to everyone except those that bet
against me-"

1t would be rather rough on Jack
johnson if he should be sentenced to
serve a term on Blackwell's island, as
the dispatches say is among the possi-
bilities in the event he is convicted of
felonious assault at his trial in New
York today. If the term is long enough
it will force him out of some fine pay

Danny Webster has departed for the
far northwest to defend his claim upon
the bantam championship in a ten
round bout with frankie Conley, which
is slated for decision February 3 in
Portland. Danny took along the cham
pionship belt which McCarey hung up
for the winner of the first Webster-At-
tell bout. Friends of Danny need have
no fear regarding the result of the
scrap with Conley, unless that chap i'm
proves in a marked degree.
After a long wait, President Graham
of the Coast league has called q meet
ing of the league maGnates for Frisco
for January "A, next Monday. Several
important questions will be called up
for decision at this meeting, among
them being the question as to whether
Danny Long shall continue to hold the
dual positions of league secretary and
manager Of the Seals. Also, it will be
settled then whether the league games
to be played at San Francisco and Oak
land will start Tuesdays or Thursdays
in Oakland. Hank Berry and Eddie
Maier will represent the Angel and
Vernon clubs respectively and will
leave tomorrow for the northern city.
Take a little bet on yer Uncle Hank.

Bubbling Water, which has regained
all her old-time speed and now is rated
as the best handicap racer at Emery

starter in the Suburban handicap, one
of the richest stake events of the met
ropolitan season, if she continues to
show up in good form. She has been
nominated, and western horsemen be-
lieve she will get in light enough to let
her win.
The biggest cleanup Of the winter
racing season by local sportsmen was
made yesterday when Ampedo and Cop
pertown won at long prices at Emery
vile. One bettor had a commission of
$500 on Ampedo and a chunk on Cop
pertown, while nearly everybody who
plays the races seemed to be eXtraor-
dinarily happy yesterday.

The San Francisco call., 1910-12-25

based upon any comparison between
existing San Francisco-S San Joaquin
valley rates and Los Angeles-San Joa-
are not in my judgment discriminatory
in favor of San Francisco, but on the
contrary, unduly favorable to Los An
geles. The rates named In the order
will increase the discrimination against
Stockton, Sacramento and San Fran
cisco.
Il have already shown that an equit-
able adjustment between these compe-
ting markets requires as a fundamental
principle of such adjustment that rates
first be adjusted to valley points, as
between Stockton and Los Angeles.
where conditions of carriage are more
nearly similar, in that transportation
from each is by rail and not Influenced
by actual or present water competition.
DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND
Consider now that from Sacramento
and stockton to valley points is, as
shown by the evidence, practically, a
floor level haul, while from Los An
geles to valley points freight must be
lifted over two mountain ranges, an
aggregate of approximately 5000 feet,
at greatly increased cost to carriers,
both in cost of operation and main
tenanoe of roadway and equipment,
and considering the more densely pop
ulated and productive country from
Sacramento and Stockton to valley
points as compared with Los Angeles
to same points, 1t is difficult to under
stand how the majority of the COM
mission can justify giving Los An
geles an advantage over Sacramento
and Stockton on a mileage basis. The
rates ordered by the commission op-
crate to increase the Determinations
already existing against Stockton and
Sacramento and in favor of Los An
geles.
The conditions out of San Francisco
to the valley are antipoda1 to those
out of Los Angeles. A navigable canal
or river around the Tehachapi noun
tains on the one hand or the removal
of the San Joaquin river on the other
would be required to make the traffic
conditions of these two cities even of
approximate similarity. 1t is simple
traffic knowledge that it is only SINH
lar traffic conditions that can be COM
pared. To regard San Francisco ter
minals as an offset to the Tehachapi
mountains is to violate the very fun
damental requirement of rate regula-
tion.
Ito me it seems clear that while a
proper relation of rates should be
maintained between competing mar
kets, rates from all points should be
primarily judged by their reasonable
ness in and of themselves"
