SpECIJI ALTON RIFE OVER
1910 BASEBALL CIRCUIT

would be done with Aberdeen, a city
that has Loyalty supported a team at
a financial loss for three years and
always finished near the top? The
magnates would hesitate a long time
before they would drop Aberdeen IN
favor of some other city in the north
west. 1t is not likely that one of the
Montana cities will be taken and the
other left out to make room for Aber-
deem. If the directors decide to make
the lump to Montana they will want
two cities over there. 1t appears then
that if Butte and Helena come IN,
Aberdeen must necessarily be left out,
unless an eight-club league is formed
and there is little probability of this.
In the past two years there has al
ways been more or less talk of redu-
cling the circuit to four cities-Tacoma,
Seattle. Vancouver and Spokane. TINS
suggestion is again being made this
wear. There are some good points to
y
the four:club league. Every team
would be able to support itself ana
the league would not be called upon
to help any of them. The objection 10
the smaller circuit is that the interest
in a pennant race between four cities
is not as great as between six or eight
cities.
No decision as to the makeup of the
circuit was reached In the ihIoflii"i
meeting of magnates in Seattle last
week. when it was decided to drop
Portland from the league. 1t was
.eraed to let this matter go over until
the formal league melting which VIII

The JeffrieS-GOtCh
Show Is Hit Hard

Judging from the reports that are
now finding their way to this city from
the south, the Jeffries- Berger Gotch
vaudeville company is not making the
hit on the circuit that was expected.
The impression appears to be spread
ing that the big fellow should drop his
theatrical tour and get down to real
training if he is to be taken seriously
as a contender in the fight with john
son next summer. Kisses and boots Of
derision are not unknown sounds in the
ears of the former champion, and it is
said that he is seriously cOntemplat-
ing cutting short his tour and heading
direct for the Pacific coast.
The all-champion troupe was
roundly Missed recently in New Orleans,
and Jeffries himself came in for burst
of displeasure at his exhibition in CAL
weston. The constant bombardment by
ouestioners and interviewers all along
the line is also said to have got on the
big mans nerves, and he is said to be
determined to get to work at once and
prove to his detractors that he can and
will train and get into condition to Dr..
feat Johnson According to the an
nouncement made by one of Jeffries'
followers, the pugilist has repeatedly
complained of the attitude of doubt and
distrust that is constantly confronting
him. He has said again and again that
he always fought on the level when in
the ring, and that he can't understand
why his actions should be mistrusted
at this late date. 1t is said by the
same person that Icffries would have
thrown up the vaudeville business long
ago if he were not bound by con-
tracts.
Little Real Training on Road.
1t is apparent that what little train
ing he is doing while on the road is
useless, and he is said to realize this
fact himself The latest description Of
Jeffries and his work as reported by
New Orleans sporting writer appears
to bear out this idea. 1t is as follows:
"Jeffries is probably down to weight,
but he is far from being in condition.

ous flesh hut his flesh is not hard. 1t

While the year of 1909 has passed

battles having taken place the coming

the fighting world. There is first the
scheduled battle between Champion
Jack Johnson and the challenger, Jim

be the greatest event of modern pu-

champion and one of the wonders OF
the age; has come out with an an
nuoncement that he is ready for an
other affray, and he has declared him
self taht AID Wolgast, the Milwaukee
lightweight, will be given the first
chance. This is a contest that the
fans have been clamoring for, and it
should prove a great box office at
traction. The Battler has already ac-
copied the offer of Sidney Hester, OF
the Mission club, to box Wolgast, but
so far the Milwaukeean has not been
whipped into line.
Wolgast is anxious to hook up
with the champion, but it is a money
consideration that is keeping him from
coming to terms. However, Hester
expects to have this little difficulty
settled and have both men signed up
within a few days
The purse which Hester is offering
Nelson for his services, win or lose or
draw. Is $4,000. The Battler is the
card and he usually gets his price.
Wolgast is holding out for $4,000. but
it is doubtful if Hester will give him
his price He cannot figure how he
can give this money and break even 1t
is not expected that Wolgast will
overlook this rare chance to fight for
the title, as he has been clamoring
for this chance for many months, and
as the opportunity is open to him now
he would be foolish to overlook it. AS
Hester has Nelson's consent to fight
for him, Hester will certainly secure
an opponent for the champion.
Before Nelson fights Wolgast he
will engage in a ten-round battle with
Dick Hyland at Kansas City. 1t will
only be a ten-round affair, and figur-
ing the past fights of these men there

is soft and not muscular. His condition
is readily shown when he and Frank

Giles are all hard and his flesh is all
muscle, while Jeffries is exactly the OPP
posite. Whether six months work will
turn this flesh into hard muscles is a
question, and a serious one, with JEFF

ingly bad. He boxed three one minute
hard after each round. His nose still
seems to bother him, and he seems I
breathe deeply with difficulty. In one
thing Jeffries is as fast as he ever was.
and that is in footwork. He is as
light as a cat on his feet and quick and
clever. In fact he is unusually fast
on his feet for such big man. Near
ly every one who saw him commented
upon his speedy footwork, and those
who saw him in his prime said that he
was as good as even in this respect.
Jeff's Work Not in Earnest.
"It looks like this theatrical tour
will do Jeff no good. All through his
stunt, when he shadow boxes and spars,
he does not seem to be in earnest. He
goes through it like it was an awful
grind. He makes it rather entertaining
for the crowd, but a year of such work
would never get him in condition. When
a fighter has been out of the game for
five years it takes hard, earnest work
to get him back into shape.
His sparring with Berger was really
funny. Both wear about fifteen-ounce
gloyes-young pillows-and the ham,
mering they get would hurt no one.
Berger swings wildly and Jeff ducks,
and the crowd thinks Jeff is very clev-
err. Then Berger shoves his face out
and let's Jeff poke him thrice in the
face with the pillow The bout is inter
esting enough, but so awfully tame.
Getting off the superfluOus flesh was
probably a hard task, and the whole
Caucasion race ardently hopes that jeff
will make hard muscle out of what is
soft flesh now. If he does and his wind
gets better. it will be goodbye John
son."
