CUSTOMS MEN ON
HOT OPIUM TRAIL
Well Known Local Man Claimed
to Be Smuggling Dope
on Mongolia.

when the big Pacific Mail liner
Mongolia looms up over the horizon
beyond Koko Head early this morning
there will be several extra customs men
waiting on the wharf to work out the
next link in the chain which they claim
they are forging around the extensive
opium smuggling system in Honolulu
and Hawaii. When the customs launch
draws up to the steamer there will
still be in it several extra mon who
are charged with but one duty and
delegated with but one power, TO find
Domingo Ferreira and search him and
his travelling equipment.
1t may be that he is not on board.
If he is the customs officers. expect to
find a large quantity OF opium tins in
the bottom of his trunk. Whether they
will or not remains to he seen and if
it does happen to be the case il may
be that the federal officers viii shortly
announce that they have reached the
head of the whole mysterious proposi-
ton.
The officers believe that when Fer
reira was last here the opium stored
away in this city was increased by
eighty tins. more or less. 1t has prob

MUGGSY M GRAW
 TALKS BASEBALL

Dallas, Tex, February 26.-"Tri not making any predictions as to the strength of my team said John J. McGraw, man. ager of the New York National club when he reached this city today All of the youngsters look good, but three or four days workout is not a sufficient test, and I would not say that l have found a man to fill any of the positions which needed strengthening.
 'If l get Donlin back, the outield will look pretty good with Murray or Sey- mour, or one of the other available men. Mccormick will not be with us this year He's a good hitter, but he stole five bases last year. and that's too slow. Donin is to let me know March 10 whether or not he will join the team.
 q expect better results from my pitch ing staff this year. Matthewson will be as good as ever. Wiltze will be better because he has had an operation per- formed, removing a trouble that hindered him in his work last year. Marquard has had a years experience, and we expect him to come strong this year. Raymond has promised better conduct, and ought to be a valuable man.
 ''The young pitchers are promising. The infield is all right If Penney gets in shape and If he does not Merke and probably Spencer will be available l have some fine looking young infielders.
 T think the National league did wise thing in declining to extend the schedule to 16S games. It would have been hard on the tail-end clubs in the latter part of the season, many double-headers being necessary. As MT. Brush says. one game in New York Is a potent attraction

Los Angeles February 26-(Special.) Jim Jeffries put on a glum face to- day when told of the threatened break between Promoters Gleason and Rick ard "I am sorry that the boys can't get along better. San Francisco is a great fight city and I would like to see my battle with Johnson pulled off there. I hope they get everything fixed up soon," was Jim's statement. The big boy put in another busy day today He had a long run over the hills back of his home in the morn ing and in the afternoon went back to his favorite stunt of saving wood.
 This Is just the kind of work I need to harden me up," said Jeffries. q am more satisfied with the way l am shaping into condition. The hill- climbs and road work are putting my wind in good condition and this wood chopping and wood saving Is exactly the kind of work need at this early stage of the game"
 Jeffries is due for fishing trip with San Pedro friends tomorrow. Monday he will increase his daily training la bors by putting up punching bag in the barn back of his home. He will hammer the leather bag every after noon from now on.
 The McCarey diamond belt, emblem atic of the worlds bantamweight championship was formally turned oyer to Frankie Conley this after noon.
 Conley and Danny Webster were practically matched tonight to meet in 45-round bout for the bantamweight title. The April date for the Conley- Webster match was left open.

University, February 27.-(Speeial)-A scrub game yesterday afternoon-the first of the year-in which practically all of the candidates for the team were used, brought to a conclusion the first week of preliminary training of the University baseballateam for the season of 1910. As is to be expected at this stage of the game, the work of the men was rather ragged, and with the aid of the more seasoned pitchers the second team got away with the contest by a narrow mar gin.
 But even if the work yesterday was not of a shiny order the little brush be- tween the candidates brought out a fact very pleasing to the followers of the game here-it showed very plainly that Dr. Pol lard has a large assortment of material to select from. there being a number of credtable performers applying for every place on the team. It is a certainty that no man will gain his position through de- fault There will be a hot scrap for each place on the nine. and there is no guess about that. In fact some of the squad which walked through the southern col leges last year will have a good fight to keep their jobs. Compared with the out look at this time last year the prospects for the coming season are very bright.
 Of last years team there are five men applying for their old places; Anderson, catcher Merrill Pratt and Gresham, pitchers: Snedecor, first base, and Cowan, second base. Waite, last seasons short stop, is still in college, but he is ineligi- ble. and Derrill Pratt, third baseman, has gone with the Montgomery Southern leaguers All of last years outfield are gone. but their places will be filled easily.

FLOYD WINS SUIT
 AGAINST ARKY

Meridian, Miss, February 2I-(Special) After trial lasting three weeks in the chancery court Chancellor Sam Whitman, Jr.. late yesterday afternoon rendered a decision in the case of L. H. Arky against s. H. Floyd for $500 and costs in favor of Floyd. The suit was brought by Arky against Floyd to force the latter to com ply with a contract for the sale of a stock of goods. In rendering his decision Chan cellor Whitman stated that the invoice of the stock of goods submitted by Arky to Floyd was incorrect, an ex parte, Floyd, not being represented when the invoice was taken.
 The stock of goods was valued at $75, 5,000. and the suit involved one of the most prominent business buildings in the city, the court deciding that the sale of the goods and lease of building was one con tract and was not reasonable, which al lows Arky to continue in possession of his building.

FIGHT PROMOTERS
 ARE ALL AT SEA
No One Knows What Gleason
 And Rickard Plan to Do
NO PLACE IS SELECTED
Men of Arenas for the Big Fight But the Whole Business Is as
 Net Undecided
By ". ". NAuGHToN

San Francisco, February 27-(Special) )- To any one who can figure out just how the Gleason -Rickard situation stands and can produce proof that his solution is the correct one, will be presented with box seat to the Jeffrles-Johnson fight no mat ter where it occurs. The gossips say that there is a rift in the lute-or is 1t loot-between Tex and Jack, and that Salt Lake is still in the running as a possible site for the Jeff-Johnson mill.
 Rickard and Gleason, no doubt, are as far at sea as to where it is best to build the championship ring as they were a couple of months ago. They are having fresh propositions placed before them all the time and it will be some time yet probably before a decision is reached. In the meantime the busybodies spread one report today only to deny 1t tomorrow. The best way is to wait until something definite in regard to the location of the championship fight is known.
 English Owen Moran and Harlem Tommy Murphy will get together under Jim Coffroths direction at Dreamland Monday night and there is every reason for expecting one of the most exciting glove contests San Francisco has seen for many years. To begin with, Moran and Murphy are. rivals, of a virulent kind They have had three meetings all ready, so that their cases resemble that of Jimmy Britt and Battling Nelson be- fore the Battler finally manifested his superiority.
 x~pt tI,o nd Mt1r. phy figured in they finished so closely that there was literally nothing to choose between and they have both looked for ward to the day when they should meet In a 20-round contest in San Francisco.
 In addition to being anxious to decide who is really who, the two lightweights will battle for the right to become championship candidate. It is notorious fact that when new champion stands forth he is marked for challenges from most of the men in his class
 The betting on the fight, which stood at evens for many days. has changed to 10 to with Moran favorite. At this, the wagering Is a compliment to Murphy, as San Franciscans are chary, IS a rule, of placing their money on a man they have not seen in action.
 Moran has been seen in san Fran cisco ring a number of times and has proved that he has the talent to cut loose in any company when equally matched as to weight.
 Murphy is an utter stranger, but the consistent manner in which the New York sporting writers have upheld the Harlem lad as a bidder for the cham pionship Is known In this city and the local sports respect Murphy through what the New York papers have said about him. That is why Murphy Is only selling a point cheaper than the fellow who hammered Frankie Neil to a pulp and held clever Abe Attell to a draw in two hammer and tongs contests.

Chattanoogd Baseball Club
 Ozvners Will Spend q Pile Of
 Money In Spring Practice

Twenty-Five new bats will cost as many dollars.
 Two negro rubbers at the clubhouse will cost s25 month or $50. Fire. water, soap, towels ana laundry and other club house expenses must be figured at not less than $25.
 Thus, if no items have been overlooked, the local club will spend $2474 In getting the players ready for the seasons battle.
 On the other hand, the local club has about 15 exhibition games scheduled, and should they average profit of $50 each they would get back $2250, almost enough to meet the expense of the spring train- ing.
 Big Jim Baskette, the Lookouts' star twirler of 1909, who was sold to Cleveland for $500. and later passed on to Toledo, threatens to aui. organized ball.
 The trouble is that President W. R. Ar- mour of Toledo sent contract calling for with a letter saying if he was good enough for the American association he was worth s3o0 per, and if he wasn't he would not be worth anything. Armour could not see it that way, and the matter Is now at stancstlll.
 In the meantime the people of C1eve- land, town of more than 6000 popula- ton, 30 miles east of Chattanooga. have made Barkette a more substantial offer to come there this summer and pitch for and manage their amateur team. Bas- kette play cd there in 1908 and is decided fayorite. He says he will accept the Cleveland offer unless the Toledo man. agement comes across.
 After holding out for more than two months, Pitcher Schlitzer, bought from the Boston Americans, has wired Manager Dobbs that he has signed and mailed his contract. This completes the Lookouts' roster. and now J. Dobbs says he is ready to go forth to battle.

First Game Of The Season
 Is Played At Auburn

To compete with Anderson for the re- men, Arant, NJ L.: McCargo, Wallace and VandeGraaff. Greer, Brown. R. l.. Burkes and Finlay are working to share box honors If Tucker can come up from the medical department and get into har- ness again. Alabama will have, perhaps, the best string of pitchers on the south ern college diamond. Snedecor is having to battle with H. W. Arant, and Baer for the initial corner For the Keystone bag there is q lively scrap on between Cowan. Moody and McEniry, an old Au- burn star who is taking law. The short field is the goal of a lively race, with Desprez, Heard, w., Grove and Broome the leading contestants Baumgartner, an old Owenton player. and Heard, V., are both showing up well at the three-quar- ter station. The outer works will no doubt be looked after by a trio selected from the following: Austill, VandeGraaff, Carter, Nathan, Griffiths, Heard, V. Il. Johnston, Lobman, Mcdowell and Halter. But who will compose the trio is not yet clear.
 From the situation set forth above 1t is at once evident that Alabama will have a good defensive team. So the problem that confronts Dr. Pollard is to select such men as will make the offensive work as strong The determining factor in the selection of the men to make up the team will no doubt be ability to swing the ash squarely against the ball and run bases headily. If nine men out of these thirty-odd candidates can be found who have shat qualification the Crimson and White should again be able to set the pace for the other colleges In Dixie.
 As only about two weeks remain before the opening game with the Philadelphia Athletics, Dr. Pollard has hard piece of work before him in shaping up his team.

Montgomery Moeuls Pleased
 With The Baseball Outlook
By HERvEY w. LAIRD

. Montgomery, February 26.-(Special.)- With 2S men on the string and at least one more good pitcher coming, President E. B. Joseph and Manager Ed Greminger of the local Southern league team feel that they have good start for the new year. MT. Joseph felt sore on Mack for letting another team have Lively, drafted from this club last fall, but is assured that it will be made all right with a man just as good later or.
 The only man now making trouble is Shannon, who seems to be a bad job in that he does not want to come south again, swearing that he does not intend to do so. Manager Greminger is very much disappointed over the temper of the popular catcher, as Spike was always star when he felt like work. He can be had for the price, but will not be sacri- ficed.1 He is one of the best backstops that ever played south.
 Of the old men the goo~ @ones are com ing back. Thomas, who is regarded as heady and safe pitcher, is coming, along with the good old boy Guese. who can be depended upon. The only old catch, if Shannon finally fiukes, will be Hart, who lead the league in 1909 in bat ting and Is as safe behind the plate as any staid old family steed. Greminger at first, Osteen at second, and Pope at short are the old men for the infeld. Pratt, college boy from the university about whom there is much talk in the baseball world, will play third. White man and Daley are the only old outfeld, Kerwin having been traded to Mobile.
 The new men are Miller, secured from Mobile and Gribben, an o. and F. man, who has a good record. Molly, an old Mobile man, Montgomery boy, however comes to the pitching stan on draft from Wheeling, and a college boy brother of Thomas is going to havd a try out. Mo

Cbattanooga. February 27.-(Specia1)- The Chattanooga Baseball club will spend right around s2500 to bring the Lookouts here and having spring practice. That seems startling but the figures will bear out the statement.
 In the first place the g candidates for positions must be brought here from their winter homes and their railroad expenses paid While this is not strictly a train ing expense, still it is a part of the pre- season expense. The men come from the four corners of the country, and their tickets, says Treasurer Lowery, will ay- craze s15 each. Thus the first item of ex- pense is s345.
 There will be IA pitchers and catchers here from March 5 until April 14-a total of s9 days. During the training season the board bill for the players is paid by the club. These men will stop at a $1 5O- per-day hotel, and their bill will be sS1s. There Will be nine in and outfielders here pense. Their bill at the same hotel for 34 days will be s559.
 The total board bill will be s137S-quite a neat sum.
 Road and home uniforms for 14 men will cost the club s336. This is not especially a training expense, but it is money which must be expended before the season is started
 Johnny Dobbs figures that balls used during the practice period will cost the club sal5. He said eight balls will be de- stroyed each of the 34 days of practice (To Sunday work here). and this will take an even 20 dozen. At s15 per dozen this shows an expenditure of $315.
