announcement yesterday when deny

Freddie Welsh, the British lightweight
champion, stating that an offer of $25,-

for 45.round fight with Welsh at
Cardiff, Wales.
Il have received no offer from

Says jeff Has Wind.

New York, Jan. 22.-Frank Gotch,
the worlds wrestling champion, de-
clares that Jeffries will outlast John
son in their fight in July and will win
easily in a long go.
"Johnson's defensive style of fight.
ing will prove his undoing," says GotCh
in a statement given out here today.
"Jeff's endurance is as good as it ever
was. The other day we wrestled for
half an hour, and he finished fully as
strong as | did. / was able to pin him
down only once. This should show
how great is his strength. because he
knows little of the wrestling game
1.-TWO months ago I was one of the
doubters But ! have grown TO know
that JEFF is honest and determined and
is working as hard as any man can to
get into shape, And he is getting into
shape SO rapidly that it surprises even
his best friends. Jefries not only will
be right when the fight begins but the
longer the fight goes on the better
chance he will have"

ball champions.
All Of which brings up the question
is there any sport or form of amuse-
ment or vehicle of excitement that
quite classes with a glove fight when
it comes to separating people from
their money?
Prices considered, it Is doubtful if
there is.
Perhaps at different times there is
the most widespread interest in a
series Of baseball games, or in an in
tcrnatiOnal yacht race, or horse race,
that stands out as something eXcep.
tional. But could promoters get people
to spend an equal amount of time and
money on them as will be spent in
seeing this combat between two single
gladiators of the ring? 1t is extreme
~ doubtful. Jeffries and Johnson are
fighting for purse of $lOl 900. 1t is
going to cost another $4,000 on the
side to stage the battle when expenses
of the arena. advertising and the like
are considered The promoters, of
course, are figuring on a profit.
The public at so much per skull
will have to pay the freight. With
California as the battle ground it must
not be considered that California is
going to furnish most of the speCta-
tors. New York and Boston, to say
going to send big delegations; Chi
CagO alone will be represented by
the dozens, and every other large city
in the country will send its sporting
followers. From London, Eugene
Corri, prominent stock broker and the
leading referee of Great Britain, is
to chaperon a party that will be tick
eted from London direct to the arena.
Hugh Mcintosh and a party of friends
are to make the trip from Australia
Figure out briefly what it will cost
all of these delegations for railroad
transportation fittings, living expenses
and tickets to the battle. That would
be merely the actual cost and would
not show what it might mean to these
men in loss of time.
1t is almost astounding.

THE FIGHT FANS WILL JAR.
It is Going to Cost a Big Roll to See
the Jeffries"J ohnson Fight.

Chicago, Jan. 22-With what other
form of amusement or entertainment
now would you classify that type of
man handling known as glove fighting
Will people spend as much money as
they will on boxers? Did you ever
feel in a mathematical frame of mind
and figure ii out?
1t is going to cost something to see
that battle in July between Jim Jcf-
fries and Jack Johnson. No matter
where the fan lives, he will have to
dig deep into his jeans to satisfy the
transportation tab and the fan, no
matter where ne lives, is going to see
that battle even if he has to figure
pretty close from now till the middle
of June to do it. That's pretty good
vacation time, you know, and the trip
is just about satisfying, furnishing as
it will a jaunt through the grandeSt

Her Job.

New York, Jan. 22.-That same sort
i'm the discharge from certain railroad
workshops of all men weighing less
than $50 pounds and the discharge of
all street car conductors weighing
more than 1870 soon may be applied to
the waitress.
4 beautiful, real hair blonde was
missing from an uptown Broadway res
taurant last night When a reporter
noticed the blank space and asked
after the reason the manager simply
said She's fired on account of her
looks
Looks? Why, she was the best
looking girl you had, She was "A reg.
ular headliner here, bill topper.
Wasn't that bad business policy?"
Stop right there the manager in
terTupted. Business will be better
without her What's more, I'll not try
thing like her. This is why she and
all others of her stamp are time vast
ers, though not always because they
like to be. Nearly any plain waitress
can cover twice the ground. The beau
tiful, golden haired big eyed creatures
they can get a Broadway sport to cen
ter his attention on the bill of fare.
But in the case of the plain girl
how different. There's no 'please-give.
me some-angel.food foolshness' then
Our reputation for quick and efficient
service is the gamer by it.
II won't go to the length of saying
III never hire another blonde. But
will say this, Let the chorus girl type
stick to the profesh. There's no room
for her in this beanery."

Manager C. Little and Attraction ,

Manager u. IlItle ana AllTdCN'OH D.
johnson Talk at Random.
New York, Jan. 22.-There appears
to be a little difference of opinion
between Jack Johnson and George Lit
tie. his manager, as to where the cham
pionship fight is likely to occur. John
son was quoted here today as follows:
"If Richard says the fight is going
to take place at Salt Lake it will be
Salt Lake. He is the man with the
dough, and that is what am after.
Jeffries and I are in this business
for money. Richard is the man with
the dough and what he says goes.
LAS far as | am concerned, I'm will
ing to fight Jeffries anywhere. | have
no personal preferences so long as
Jeffries is on hand and in his best
form"
But here is what Little had to say
regarding the controversy, a few min
utes later:
You can take il from me that the
fight will never be pulled off in Utah.
The site which has been agreed upon
is at Ocean View, a short distance
south of San Francisco. A temporary
arena to seat 10000 is to be CON
structed and railroad company has
agreed to deposit the ticket holders at
the gates within twenty minutes after
they leave Fort and Market streets,
San Francisco. I'm willing to bet
$4,000 that the fight takes place in
California"

MAckAY DISCUSSES TELeeRAPHY
Claims Postal is Last Competition.
When That Goes, a Trust.


New York, Jan. %. THE Postal
Telegraph company will be the last
competitor in telegraphy, and when
that competition ceases there will be
a choice only between monopoly and
government ownership"
This is Clarence Mackay's view of
the telegraph situation in the United
States today, before committee of
the state legislature, which is trying
to determine the ACCESSIBILITY of plac.
ing telegraph and telephones under
state regulation.
Mr.. Mackay said
We have no objection to being
placed under the public service com.
mission if that is desired by the state.
| would, however, call attention to the
fact that the telegraph business is very
different from the telephone business
in that our records show that about
seyen.eighths of telegraph business in
New York is interstate, over which, |
suppose the public service commission
would have no jurisdictions"
