TWO NEW RECORDS
FOR BARNEY OLDF|ELD
Hangs Up Startling Figures
for Half and One Mile
at Cheyenne.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., May 12.-With the
course guarded by 1900 soldiers from
Fort Russell, Barney Oldfeld, driving
broke the worlds records for a half
mile and one mile over the circular
speedway Frontier Park track. Old
field covered the half mile in seventeen
seconds and the one mile in thirty-siX
seconds. Oldfeld held the previous rec
ords, which were made with the same
car at the Los Angeles motordrome
month ago. The previous record for a
half mile was 17.76. and for the mile
1872 The records for the same dis
tances made at Indianapolis and Atlanta
speedways were lowered by Oldfield by
nearly two seconds for the Atlanta track
and over three seconds for the Indian
apolis track.
Oldfield's two drives We're sensational
in the extreme. The track was lined
with 10000 persons, many being cow
boys and ranchmen, who recorded the
time by an automatic electric device.
The meet was sanctioned by the Ameri-
can Automobile Association and was
conducted by the Cheyenne Motor Club
Gov. Brooks was one of the timers and
was the first to congratulate the daring
Oldfied.
Automobile experts and Oldfield say
that the high altitude and rarefied con-
dition of the atmosphere made possible
the remarkable speed Oldfeld attained.
Oldfeld, in a Knox siXty-hOrsepower,
beat Bronson, in a Buick, in the eight
mile handicap by the closest of margins.
The time was S.462 %. Bronson had a
minute handicap.

WON'T EFFECT BIG FIGHT.
Switch of Papke-Thomas Fight Is
Not Serious Move.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, May 12.-what
effect will the enforced switch of the
Papke-Thomas bout from Colma to San
Francisco have on the Jeffries-Johnson
fight?
"Fandom' is framing many answers TO
that question. but the rank and file of the
sporting fraternity take a generally hope
full view of things. and the majority in
clines to the opinion that the action OF
the San Mateo county officials in calling
halt on the middleweight contest will
exercise no sinister influence on the hold
Analysing the situation, the cheerful
ones note this difference: Colma is not an
Incorporated town and the county officials
therefore had no power to grant a license
for the Papke-Thomas go, but that
Emeryyille. the scene of the Jeffries-John-
son fight. is a regularly Incorporated
municipality with regularly elected on
Gals. who have full and legal rights un-
der the laws of the state Of California TO
grant a permit for a boxing match to a
regularly Incorporated club. such as the
Marathon Club. of which promoters Rick
ard and Gleason are regular members.
Jack Johnson's base ball game yester-
day afternoon drew a large crowd of spec
tators. The negro seems to get as much
enjoyment out of the national pastime as
does Jeffries, and he has announced that
base ball will be part of his daily routine
for the remainder of the week.
Asked if the fighters failed to agree on
a referee would he be willing TO preside,
Tex Richard put a quietus on that possi-
bility thus: ses.-s
Not for a million dollars. have my
hands full as il is
Richard, it is said, would be agreeable
to both Jeffries and Johnson.

WHITE TO
REFEREE BIG FIGHT
Joe Choynski Writes Friend
That New Yorker Will
Be Chosen.

Special Dispatch to the Star.
CHICAGO, May 12.-Charley White OF
New York will referee the Jeffries-John-
son fight. Regardless Of what the pro-
motors and fighters may say for publica-
tion it is known that White will be the
third in the ring unless present plans of
all concerned in the big fight are radi-
cally changed.
Edward c. Westlake, close friend of
Choynski, today received a long tele-
gram from the chief trainer at Jeffries'
camp, which confirmed this. Westlake
only permitted a part of the telegram to
be made public. Here is what Choynski
says about the referee question:
"A mountain out of molchill is this
stuff about the big bout being declared
off because of disagreement over a ref
cree. 1t never will be stopped for that
Only the courts and an aggressive states
attorney can keep the big fight from 60
ing on at Emeryville track July 4. Char
ley White of New York, the man of all
men the public like best to see the third
man in the ring. will be the selection.
"Jeffries is holding out for the native
son, Eddie Smith. He is obstinate. but
will be pleased with the choice of Charley
White. johnson is for Jack WEIGH, his
idea being that the Californian will be the
fairest referee because he has business in
terests here and would act uprightly in
everything"

WOULD MAKE JEFF WORK.
Corbett Suggests Engagement Of
Kaufman, Flynn or Barry.

Special Dispatch to the Star.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Jim Corbett
unless he changes his plan. will leave
New York the first of next week for
Jeffries' training camp, where he will
assume charge of the task of preparing
the big fellow for his bout with Jack
johnson.
Corbett is in pretty fair condition HIM
self and says that after he has been at
Jeffries' camp for ten days or two weeks
ne will be able to make things hum in
the ring.
II Corbett is allowed to have undis-
outed authority at the camp it is be-
Iieved he will make several important
suggestions, among them being the en-
gagement of one or two rugged heavy
weights who can mix it up with Jeffries
in earnest"
COrbett's friends say he favors the en-
gagement of a man like Kaufman, Barry,
Flynn or Ross, who can hit hard and is
also big and strong enough to receive
heavy blows without flinching. That kind
of work in Corbett's opinion, would do
Jeffries more good than light sparring;
but it remains to be seen whether Jeff
ries accepts this advice with favor or not.

HAS COME
BACK, DECLARE CRITICS
Big Fellow Is Rapidly Round
ing Into Shape-Grouch
and Fat Have Gone.
BY Max Balthasar.

ROWARDENNAN, Cal. May ITO
the eye of the uninitiated Jim Jeffries
looked to be in splendid condition
month ago, but to the man who knows
prize fighters the Big White was in mis-
cradle condition. and apparently making
little effort to round into form. Today
all that has changed. The Improvement
in his condition in the past two weeks is
almost unbelievable. 1 watched the for
mer champion work out Monday, and
could hardly believe it was the same JEFF
fries who had loafed through his train
ing when he first came here
Jeffries CROUCH which was so mani
fest when it became apparent the big
champion feared he could not get into
condition, has disappeared, for Jeffries
of today is confident he can beat and has
come back His eye is as keen in
judging distance, his speed is as great
or greater-than ever before, and, barring
accidents, his endurance will be just as
great as in the old days. when no human
being could withstand his rushes and his
punches.

fact the whole team seems to be in tip
top shape.

The Pension Bureau team, winners OF
last years pennant in this league, will
have hard fight this season for the rag.
Up to date they are tied for third place
and unless the players round up into bet
ter shape they will have a tough time
ahead of them. They have a good lot of
stickers. and once their twirlers start go
ing right they will cause a lot of trouble.
The Compassionate, who are tied for
first hOnOrs, seem to have lot of good
players. and IL they only can keep up the
pace they will have something TO say as
to who will cop the flag this year.
The Diamond Athletic Club, which is
tied for third place, must not be classed
out of the race With little more prac-
tice it will give the leaders d hot fight.
Up to date the Government Printing
Office team has only played in one game
and lost by one run. They are by no
means bad lot of players.
Capt. Edwards, who is president OF this
league. is doing everything in his power
to make it a success.
