A BOUT all that one could hear along
u the Rialto yesterday in the way
"a of sports was the news of the ar
rival of Jeffries. In comparison with
this event, the fact that two champion
ship battles are to be fought today in
California paled into insignificance. A
long line of patient worshipers was
formed in front of the cafe that bears
the name of the champion, but the
long vigil was unrewarded by even a
f1eeting glance at the form of the king
of pugilists, whose name and physical
shape have been so familiar along the
sporting highway for so many months.
Jeff did not stop longer than was re-
quired for breakfasting at John Drinks
place of business and soon afterward
he was at home, where he put himself
inside a suit of clothes years old,
that he used when he was training for
other fights when he was in his prime,
if he ever got out of that distinguished
state. The clothes fitted him per-
fectly, which may give the fans some
idea of what fourteen months of care
full living have done for the big fell
low. Then he fingered around the
loved spots at home until he became
weary and retired for a snooze. Re-
peated telephone calls availed the
anxious ones nothing as he would not
come down town. Late in the evening
Jeff received a small party of friends,
including John Brink, Eddie Maier,
Luke Kelly and two newspaper men.
To them he talked offhand for few
minutes, but was more pleased to see
his friends than to discus fight mat
ters The big fellow considers himself
in no danger Of losing his title, SO is
not worried about anything more than
the strenuous siege of work that he
must undergo in the training camp.
Mrs. Jeffries, who has been quite ill in
a Chicago hospital for many weeks, ac-
co1npanied her husband home.
Percy Denton, whose name is fa-
miliar to every old-timer in the sport
ing world, returned to Los Angeles
Yesterday after long absence in
Australia and met many old friends.
Ten years ago he went to Australia
for six-weeks' engagement on the
theatrical circuit of the little big island,
and he stayed ten years He became
enamored of the climate and the peo-
pie. He was a ringside spectator when
johnson beat the stuffing out of
Tommy Burns and he saw most of the
Antipodean fighters in action. He says
that Alf Greenfield and Thorn are the
best lightweights on the island, and
they are so good that he believes they
might make good in a way over here.
He also says that Burns now is the
manager of Bill Lang and that the
Canadian is more popular over there
than johnson, despite the defeat the
former champion sustained i'll his fight
with the negro. Denton says that

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Battling
Nelson and Ad Wolgast, the light
weights who will battle for the cham
pionship tomorrow afternoon at Rich
mond, on the eastern shores of san
Francisco bay, have ceased training
and are ready for the time keepers
signal to start them on their Aground
journey. Each fighter expressed him
self tonight as absolutely certain of
victory. and the consensus of opinion
of fight followers presages contest
that will make ring history. The feel
ing between the rival pugil1sts Is ex-
tremely bitten and there is no question
that the battle will carry with it
more than the purse and title.
Nelson and Wolgast are we'll under
the required 1873 pounds ringside weight,
the champion being the heavier by
few ounces. Said Wolgast tonight:
''I desire to win this championship in
a clean, sportsmanlike manner--that
is, 1 don't want to win it on a foul,
and unless I am rendered helpless by
such tactics 1 shall overlook them"
Champion Nelson also expressed his
determination to waive fouls unless
they were of a serious nature.
Big Crowd Expected
Although the weather predicts show
ers for tomorrow the advance sale in
dicates a record-breaking attendance,
rain or shine. The little town of Rich
mond itself has purchased over 1000
tickets, and the railroads report heavy
travel from the interior and southern
counties.
Betting on the result is heavy, the
odds favoring Nelson at 10 to Z, with
plenty of the short end in evidence.
Considering wagering on the length of
the contest was registered, even money
being offered that Wolgast would stay
twenty-five rounds.
Among the spectators at tomorrow's
battle will be Tex Rickard and Jack
Gleason, promoters of the Jeffries-
johnson fight which will be decided on
the Fourth of July next. 1t is gener-
ally understood that the promoters are
seriously contemplating the selection
of Richmond as the scene of battle for
the heavyweights, and their presence
at the ringside tomorrow is more for
the nurpose of planning for the fu-
ture than mere spectators of the light
weight fight.

After that will come the finals IN

morrow.
The final set in the Coronado match
of ladies' doubles also will be played.

DECLARATIONS ARE FEW
IN METROPOLITAN RACES

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-Under the
conditions of the Brooklyn, Suburban
and Brighton handicaps, declarations
are due today. In all likelihood the list
of malcontents will not be large, and
it is safe to say that unless i'll health
or accident intervenes nearly all the
horses handicapped will be permitted to
remain in the three big races.
Ballot and Priscillian, which are en-
tered in the Brooklyn and Suburban,
will give an international aspect to the
race, both having met the best handi-
cap horses abroad last year, and both
having run well despite heavy imposts.

RIAL TO GOSSIP
By Jay Davidson

Burns was double-croSSed by johnson,
but in his opinion the Canadian never
had chance to whip Johnson unless
the latter absolutely laid down. Rae
ing, he says, is fine sport there, and
he estimates the crowds at the big
racing days at 100000. He will open
a weeks engagement next Monday at
the Orpheum as a member of the Den
ton and Deglow team Miss Deglow,
his sketch partner, is a California girl,
which makes them doubly interesting
here.
Frank Kellar, brother-in-law~ of Hen
Berry, Is an enthusiastic admirer of
Bat Nelson and Jim Jeffries and says
that he and Clarence Berry will bet
10000 that JeffrieS will win his fight
with Johnson. They have wagered
several thousand dollars already on
this same proposition and still have
some left for further investment.
Luke Kelly, whose absence from the
Rialto for several weeks has been
most noticeable, was back in the city
yesterday, trying to get a gaze at his
old friend, Jeffries. Failing, after
several hours of waiting, he engaged an
automobile and went on a search for
the big fellow, finally locating him at
home. 1t was a pleasant greeting be-
tween them and Luke was as much
delighted as a candidate for office with
majority.
Friends of Ed Moriarty, formerly
sporting editor of the Pink, will be
delighted to learn that he is the daddy
of a fine ten-pounder which arrived
at his home two days before st. VAL
entines day. Ed always was rated as
a classy sort of a sportsman, but the
news that it is boy will make the
assurance doubly sure. Congratula-
tions are a bit belated, Of course, but
nevertheless sincere. Sportsmen gen.
orally regret that such good fellow
should find it more profitable to work
away from home than here, and If he
should ever decide to return he will
find a big bunch of flowers on his desk
the first morning afterward. Ed now
is managing editor of the Portland
Daily News, the latest Scripps journal
in the northwestern field.
Rosslare nobly tied up the odds on
her field at Emeryville yesterday and
won with ease from a good field. 1t
is a pity that such consistent horses
cannot be found in all races. The
California derby will be run this aft
ernoon, with such cracks as Turret,
Coppertown, Napa Nick and Lady
Elizabeth in the contention, and 1t
should furnish the northern sports
nIenty of good sport and lots of spec
ulative opportunity, as the field is a
very open. one. and opinions are apt
to vary widely.

nAII. NINETEEN ELEVEN 2,

Tomorrow. the New Year with all Of
its possibilities begins. Let US open
the door Of this New Year daringly and
expectantly May it be Happy and a
Prosperous Year TO all the readers Of
The Evening Capital.
The old year has come and gone, al
most. and leaves behind for US gift
of another harvest Some Of US have
garnered golden grain, some wild oats,
some tares and weeds. This New Year
Is ali our own, let each Of us choose
our neld in which 70 work, and choose
il well. work It with energy. and water
it faithfully.
Nineteen Hunrded and Ten expires at
midnight tonight II dies Of old age,
and there is but little use to hold a
postmortem. 1t brought US all the bad
with the good. and time and space for
bid a recapituation. besides peruasl
Of the dead years record would only be
useful in so much as it would enable
AS 10 avoid the repetition of its errors.
Ii is the custom Of the humorous
writer's to make fun Of the man who
forms resolutions at the beginning of
q new year, but this should deter no
one from carrying out so praisewOrthy
work None Of US are rs good as we
should be. and the recognition of our
faults and resolution to overcome
them in the future are to be commend
cd. The making Of resolutions to
govern our conduct for the new year
can do no harm. even though none of
the resolutions are kept. But the mere
making of resolutions to improve our
conduct in life is. in fact, an acknow-
ledgment that we have not accom-
plishcd all that we might have done.
and a recognition of our failures is one
of the best ways of providing against
future relapses
In reviewing the past year the aver
age person will find much to be thank
ful for and we are told in sacred
writings that God loves the grateful
heart Gratitude for past tavors. a
recognition Of our failures and resolu-
tions to Go better in the future, will
go a long way towards making the
year upon which we have just enter
ed more successful and botter than pre-
Vious years Our wish is that the New
IeaI may be most happy and pros
porous for all
