BARNEY OLDFIELD
 SAYS J. JEFFRIES
 WAS SURE DOPED

Los Angeles. Cal, Jan. 9.-That J. J. Jeffries entered the ring with Jack Johnson in Reno on July last |. dragged man. and not one sufferins from nervous collapse, is the pith of a signed article by Barney Oldfield. which will be published here to-day and which has been authorized by the defeated man. Jeffries, however, corning the alleged drugging to be published at this time. Oldfield said.
 According to Oldfield, Jeffries took him into his confidence during a re- cent hunting trip in the Sierras. Old- fields statement is in part as follows: ries explained, would not have af- fected him physically for weeks after the fight. The poison which was given to him affected his stomach principally, and for a month he could ite dishes did not possess any charm of taste, and his whole body seem ed as If stricken with rheumatism. When he began to get over the eff fects of the hope he felt like a con valescent after spell of typhoid fe- yer.

 other source. He is firm in the be- lief that the details will all come out within a year or so.
 ''Jeffries pledged me to secrecy about the details of the treachery and what he had been able to learn. He told me was the only man knew as much as he told me. I promised to aid him in getting some informa- ton he cannot get himself. Jeffries' story to me absolved the members of his training camp from any blame that much I must say in justice to the men who helped him with all their hearts.
 '.It was after Jeffries told me his story that I began to marvel at his present physical condition. For the ten days we were in the mountains he performed feats of endurance that l did not think were possible for any man. Never once did he fail or re- fuse the opportunity to scale difh- cult peaks. To any man who has ever had a bit of experience in pro- fessional athletics or possesses whit of knowledge gleaned around train ing camps. Jeffries' condition. as he proved it day after day, must come as a revelation"

JOHNSON PEEVED READY TO MEET
 JEFFRIES AGAIN

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, peeved by the various stories, lasting since his de- feat of Jeffries, that the "hope of the white race was doped at the time, is out in def, to-day, for another bat tie with the former champion. John son offers to meet Jeffries in a sec ond struggle followed his reading of Barney Oldfield's story alleging that the White hope" was drugged and that Jeffries is as good, to-day, as he ever was and could take Johnson's s measure.
 "I'll give Jeffries return match any time he wants it." said Johnson, to-day. ''If O1dfield believes Jeffries is as good as he ever was just let him get some good club to hang up suitable purse and then watch me. I'll sign articles and I won't demand anything unreasonable. I'm tired of these stories that Jeffries was doped when he fought me at Reno. If Jeffries thinks he is the better man I am willing to meet him again and show the world that Johnson is a real chamDiOn''

ALTIZER TO SUCCEED HIS OLD CHUM TOMMY DOWNEY
 ON THE CINCINNATI NINE

In the outlaw days of the Tri-State League. Tommy Downey. who jumped from this city at that time. played side by side with Daring Dave Altizer. who Jumped to the team from Spring field Tommy covered second and David shortStop. Since then Downey has been with Charleston in the South Cincinnati. Altizer has been every where. going up to the American League and being farmed out to the American Association. Now Dave goes into the National League to the Cincinnati club to supplant Downey for the minors, while Altizer because of his great work in the American Association last year is sure of the job.
 Owner Manager Cameron of New years captain and first basenan of the Memphis team of the Sou .hern League. Cameron has decided that Honest John Bunyan who held down the bag all last season. and who is now smashing baggage for the Adams slowed up too much .for this league. According to the official Southern League average for 1910. Gygli ranked ni1esy- fourth in the batting averages, with .19s. 101 games; at bat AT; runs. 32; hits 89: sacrifice hits. 16; stolen bases. 24. and ranked seventh among the first basemen. with a .9s1 aver 2s.
 When the Mechanics opened the league season last year in New Ha- ven Bunyan made three hits off "Rtrbe' Pollard. The fans began kid ding Manager McCann. for dropping Brnyan from his team, as the old youngster appeared to have the goods. "Nix on that fellow for mine." said Manager Gene. who had never seen Bunyan perform before. Even the kids on the street tipped me off that he was a load They have to do something besides hit to hold down a job on my team.'' Though Bunyan stayed with the Caricatures all season, even having a good average on the bag, he was very. very slow. his in action losting many games for his team. McCann. the first time he saw Bunyan play. was wise to the fact that he would neversdo. Bunyan was one of the players secured by McCann when he purchased the Orator outfit. He did not even send the New Ha- vener contract.
 All doubt as to whether or not Billy Hamilton, the former National League slugger, would break into the Connec- ticut League as manager, were set tied Thursday, when he signed a con- tract to manage the Haverhill team of the New England League. He had been negotiating with Haverhiu for salary. which has been strengthened cut to his satisfaction. Hamilton Is not new to HaverhsH. He managed the club in that city in 1904 and 1905,

BISHOP LAWRENCE UPHOLDS DARWIN Tells Cultured Boston Story of Adam and Eve is Beauti-
 full Allegory
fspecial from United Press )

Boston, Jan. 9-Church circles of cultured Boston discussed with con- siderable interest, today, the state- ment of Bishop William Lawrence, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Mas sachusetts, that the story of Adam and Eve was a beautiful allegory. The statement was made at Ford Hall, Sunday night, at the close of the Bishops talk on What Religion can Do For Man,
 A young man arose and called att tention to Bishop Lawrence's state ment that man had descended through millions of year from apes and de- clared he undestood man originated with Adam.
 "I shall have to interpret the story of Adam and Eve as I would to a child,' said the Bishop. T take down my Bible and read the little on the story of Adam and Eve. say to the child, T am trying to tell you in childish language how God made man. I would not attempt to ex- plain to the child the Darwinian the ory but would read the beautiful alle- gory."

 Dewitt Rossnnan, a brother of Claude. who used to break down all the fences in the Connecticut League while with Holyoke. has broken into the game: and has signed up with the Lowell. New England League club. Claude broke into the game with Hoi- yoke coming from the back lots. His rise to fame was by steady leaps un- til he landed in the American League. He is now in the American Associa- tion.

Cam fer of Holyoke. the committee appoint ed at the last league meeting. will get together in an attempt to settle the fiasco.
 Chief Kennedy will have hard job on his hands this season trying to get together a competent batch of um- pires. Last seasons band. with the exception of Bobby Hart, was huge joke. Hart. it is most probable. will be found in the Eastern League Anyway he will be out of these parts leagues. where betttr salaries are given to men willing to sacrifice their lives in such cause. This Ebner, who played NeW Haven so much llT- til he became to be identified as part of that team. has placed an applica- tion for a posibfon this season. His application will be opposed by every manager in the league except Cam eron. The requirements of an lump" are something more than a voice and the ability to stand behind the plate and initiate "Siik" OLoughlin.
 Gil Edwards, owner of the North ampton team, announces that his club will finish either first or second in the league race next season. That's big jump Up from the bottom, but Gene McCann did it with his band last season.

 New York, Jan. 9.-Boasting of winnings of more than $140,000 on the German turf, last year, Jimmy" Cormick, for years one of the leading American owners and trainers, re- turned to New York, to-day, enthu siastic over Germany as a market for the American thoroughbred. The American owner finished second in the list of winners, this season, the leader being Emperor William who races under the name of the Graditz stable. Mccormick will try to pick up a couple of good riders here and will then return to handle the horses of the Baron Oppenheim and Herr Hanniel. This will give him a sta- ble of 4S horses. He already has Willie Knapp and Frederick Herbert under contract but wants two more riders. Last season Walter Miller. for several years the leading American jockey and Willie Shaw, "Pittsburg Phirs'' old favorite. rode for him but both are now too heavy to make the German scale.

YALE'S GRlDIRON
 HEROES TO MAKE
 UP VARSITY CREW
(special from United Press.

New Haven, Jan. 9.-The members of the Yale football team were order ed to report to-day, for crew practice at the new boathouse here. The call for the gridiron heroes to take up work in the shells puts a period to the discussion that has ragged in the columns of the Yale News, over the availability of football men for crews. It has been declared that the boats demand a type of athlete different from the moleskin players. The ad- visory committee on rowing appears to have taken the other side.
 Yale will make a supreme effort, this year, to regain her supremacy on the Thames over Harvard. The new boathouse, used for the first time, to-day, is counted upon to help.
