BOB THAYER'S SPORTING GOSSIP
~"EVERY KNOCK is A BOOST"

Boston negro is the logical opponent of
Jack Johnson in a battle for the heavy
weight title. Although Lang is by no
means the best of the white hopes,
and would be easy picking for Al kauf-
man, still the complete mastery of
Langford over the Australian indicates
the class OF the negro and shows con-
Clusvely that there is not a white
heavyweight in the world that he can
not nut away in short order.
But Johnson is not anxious to get in
to the ring with LangfOrd. The cham
pi0n knows that the abbreviated Bos-
tonian packs a punch in either mitt

that possessed by ''Freckles'' Fitzsim-
mons in the palmy days Of that gladia-
tor. and he also knows that any tims

laurels
Johnson doubtless feels that his su-
perior reach, height and weight would
enable him to keep the Bcstonian at
hay till such time as he could iab him
TO a helpless condition. but he also real
izcs hat Langford would always have
4 chance Of getting home with one of
those dangerous hooks for which he IS

big race meeting there every winter,
California breeding farms could con-
tinue in business with all confidence
that the sport would continue for many
Years to come without being harassed
by biennial sessions of unfrIendly Legis-
latuTeS.
Tia Juana Is so close at our doors that
California bred horses would not have
to be shipped any great distance for
racing. and would remain in the climate
in which they were bred.
AS soon as the Jockey Club JUarcZ
makes official announcement Of its plans
to move to Tia Juana breeding inter
ests in this State will take on another
boom, and those who had intended es-
tabliShing breeding farms here, but
were influenced against such move by
the unfriendly legislation OF two years

breeding spot for thoroughbred and
standard bred horses.
Hundreds of Thousands Invested.
Adolph Sprecklcs has several hundred
thousand dollars at stake in his breeding
business. An idea of how much he has
at stake can he gathered from the state
ment that he has spent $1,000 since last
June in making improvements and in
operating his Napa StOcN Farm.
That he is not discouraged to any
great extent because of the efforts TO
kill racing and. incidentally, put breed
ers in this State out Of business, is indi-
Gated in his investments in recent
months in stock for his big farm and
the announcement that he is. in the
market for more brood mares and stall
lions of approved pedigrees.
He and other California breeders like
Walter Jennings. w. 0. B. MaCDOn-
ough, the Stover estate, Lawrence &
ComstOCk, Charles T. Boots, and nearly
a dozen others will WELD a great in
fluence in changing the present gloomy
situation into one of brighter prospects
for breeding interests here in a short
time.

Will Get Johnson,

There is no one less worried about the
position of Walter Johnson as relates
to his signing a contract than is Nc
Aleer.
Il have had numerous letters from
johnson, and. while he has not actually
signed, l received word from him the
other day that he is perfectly willing to
he reasonable when We meet to talk
over the subject.
You know Johnson is one of the
greatest sensations in the history of
baseball, and il is only natural that he
should want TO reap as much financial
benefit as possible, but | have always
gotten along so we'll with him that I
expect to have his signed contract in my
inside pocket before he has been in
Atlanta one hour"
The Nationals, as IN the past, will
wear blue end gray uniforms on the

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-CallfOrnia
breeders are willing to spend half MIL
lion dollars, if need be, TO assure the
success of racing at Tia Juana. The
passage of the Walker bill, that kills
racing in this State, will entail a loss
to them of considerably more than this
sum at first blow, without regard to
losses that must be endured in years to
come. and Tia Juana represents the
sum total of their hopes for continuing
in business in California.
Adolph Spreckels. proprietor Of the
Napa Stock Farm. where many high
class horses have been bred is the first
to come to the front with promise of
financial support of Tia Juana racing
He says that he will he glad to take
$3.50, 900 worth of stock in the proposed
new racing association.
Other breeders in this State would in
vest heavily. and il is assured that even
If the Jockey Club Juarez should aban-
don the plans to move to Tia Juana
from JUareZ, which it will not do,
racing association could be organized
in California to build a racing plant at
the little border town, and it would not
lack for financial backing. Within thir-
ty days a racing association, with
capital of a million dollars, could be
organized among the breeders and
horsemen of California to promote rae
ing there.
California Has Preference.
Horscmen prefer California to Florida,
while few of them would be willing to
ship back to Juarez for another expert

sons there.
California breeders will profit by the
change, and 1t is because of this fact

Game with Army.

the football game with Army is now
practically settled affair.
The contest will be on the Gridiron
at West Point and will take the place
of the one originally scheduled by
Georgetown with Princeton. BY play
ing the cadets, the Blue and Gray will
be in a position to demand recognf-
tion and classification among the
Northern elevens. something which
was impossible last fall because of
the rather restricted schedule of the
university here.
From what can be learned, the de-
cision of Princeton rot to take on
Georgetown resulted from Captain

FOR 1871 PENNANT
Only St. Louis and Boston
Without Rosy Anti

DREAMS ARE SWEET
UP IN NEW YORK
Detroiters Feel Their Boys Will
Nose Out the Athletics
This Year.

Pennant hopes spring up eternally in
the baseball breast. Although but two
teams out Of sixteen in the major
leagues can capture bunting, yet tire
supporters Of majority Of the remain
ing teams nurse hopes that their fav-
orites may come in first.
Possibly the fans of St Louis have
no expectations, so far as the Browns
are concerned, and it is not unlikely tha-
the Boston enthusiasts are not filled
with rosy anticipations as to a whirl-
wind finish by the Doves. But those
two cities are exceptions TO the rule.
Up in New York, they are filled with
the liveliest hopes as to their chances,
and the only trouble is their uncertainty
as to whether they will capture the
National League bunting through the
efforts of the Giants, or the American
League flag by reason of the superior
play of the Yankees.
Detroiters feel that their boys will
nose out the Athletics, although not be-
ing very certain as to the solidity Of
several positions on the nine.

that the baseball season of 1911 has got
a fairly good start.
The Nationals who have been camping
at Hot Springs for more than a week
have had a chilly time of it, and the
only benefit obtained up to date has
been the effects of the baths. The
weather has been so unseasOnably cold
at that resort that the players have
been able to get out for but one game.
However, that has been the history of
spring training ever since Pop AnSOn
first broke into fast company and there
IS no immediate prospect of a change.

not a club owner in the major leagues
but would rather have a winning team
than a million dollars. Quite true.

Settle the dispute.

For the sake of sport it is to be hoped
that some arrangement can be made
whereby the Georgetown Preps and
Cathedral School can settle their dis
pute over the interscholastic basketball
title of the District.
AS matters now stand neither school
can be perfectly satisfied over the sea-
son while one game or a series of three
contests would clear up the matter for
all times.

OUTFIELDER SIGNED
FOR THE NATIONALS
Comes From Cleveland at
the Recommendation of
Bradley.
HAS MADE RECORD
IN AMATEUR RANKS
Manager McAleer Surprised That
Reisling Has Not Signed
Contract.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Determined to strengthen. the Ma
tionals outfield, which at present is
most uncertain, Manager McAleer has
signed Andrew Keef, a Cleveland anna
teur player, who is highly recommended
by "BfI' Bradley, the veteran third
baseman.
For weeks the Washington leader has
concentrated his attention on his outer
gardens. He has consulted his scouts
on the proposition of obtaining men
who can field and hit. but they have all
made the same repOrt-they are not to
he had. McAIeer told Bradley of his
prcdicament and the former Nap gave
him an unqualified Endorsement of the
yOungSter who has been the sensation
OF the Cleveland lots.
keef has played on a number of differ
ont teams in Ohio, and Bradley, who
watched the player in action a couple of
times last summer, declares he is the
best outtieder he has ever seen outside
Of organized baseball.
MCAleer sent keef transportation yes
tcrday and he expects the player to re-
port here in time to go to Atlanta with
the rest of the players. He will work
with the other outfieIders at Ponce de
Leon and if he shows sufficient class
will be brought back to fight it out for
one of the regular berths.
of course, l don't know what kecf
will amount to" said McAleer this
morning, but the situation is such
that we must take a chance, and
think Bradley ought TO be able to tell
a real ball player from a 'bushcr.'
keef is described TO me as a big, fast
fellow who can hit and field, so it's up
to us to give him every encourage
ment"

LeMat TO help.

Jimmy McAleer is a great believer
in speed for a ball club. so it is not
surprising that he should once more
have r. F. LeMat, the track coach, to
help in the work of developing the Ma
tionals.
For the past two years LeMat has
attended most of the morning sessions
at National Park, and has assisted ma
terialy in developing the spIinter's art
among the players.
While he knows all the rudimcnts ot
running. It is a special scheme of his
;hat helps a man TO turn while going at
top speed, that he will try to teach.
LeMat claims that a certain style
which he has discovered of arm swing
in crossing a base, will enable a man
to keep his stride instead of being
forced to miss Il step at each Of three
corners of the diamond.
The excellent record being made o-
the fremont Athletic Club in the IL
door meets this winter is. in way,
