CHICAGO. Oct 20.-The jinx that
has followed Ad Wolgast in so many
battles Is back again and, instead of
mixing 1t in his scheduled 10 round
scrap at Milwaukee Friday night with
Charlie White. he will be nursing a
broken rib. Naturally, the White fight
is of. but strenuous efforts are being
made to get Freddie Welsh, Tommy
Murphy or Jimmy Duffey. A wire
from New York gives hope that Muir
ply might come on for the date.
Wolgast on Saturday moved his
training camp from his Cadillac home
to Milwaukee Yesterday he opened
his training for the White match. and
scarcely had he boxed three rounds
whit Anton. the Geek, when he sank
to the floor from stiff right to the
ribs with a groan.
MUST REST A MONTH
AID was rushed at once to a physi-
clan. who informed him that his rib
was broken and that he must rest for
at least a month.
The calling off of the match comes
as a sad blow to both White and
Wolgast. 1t was definitely decided
that the winner of this contest should

Coast League Season Enters
Final Week-FanS Plan
Johnston" Day
BY JOE MURPHY

The season In the Pacific Coast
league is entering on it's final week.
The, pennant has been clinched by
Portland. and outside of the race that
Is on between Sacramento and Venice
for second place, there Is nothing else
to interest the fans except the regu-
lar routine stuff. and just to what
point Jimmy Johnston will hoist the
base stealing record.
That San Francisco is remarkable
baseball town can not be disputed.
Though the season is longer by sew
eral weeks than in other leagues of
the country, interest holds out even
though the fans have been forced to
watch their team trail along In the
second division.
The outlook for the future Of the
sport in this vicinity Is bright. and
with a fine new ball park and win
ming team a continuation OF the pres
emit prosperity of the sport should be
enjoyed next season by the magnates.

games they played with the Oaks.
which is some satisfaction. The fans
noticed an Improvement in the work
OF the Oaks during the week and
wondered what was responsible for it.
The answer Is that the transbay boys
wanted to beat the Seals out, and
they put up a good battle, even
though they lost.
When the series between the clubs
started last Tuesday afternoon the
Seals had won Is games from the
oaks and lost II. The opening game
was captured by the transbay squad
which evened it up. 1t looked for q
time that the Oaks would gain the
honors. but the Seals double header
victory yesterday gave them the
palm.
The Seals defeated tho Oaks in 90
games and lost IS times.
Jimmy Johnston day is to be
held at Recreation park as result
of a popular demand made by the
fans. 1t is to be a big day, too, for
the popular Seal outfielder who has
established himself as a prime ia
vorite since he joined the club last
season.
1t probably will be the last chance
the fans will have to see Johnston,
as he will be In the big league next
season, and the fans are sure that he
will stay there.
Mig Clarke is rounding to his best
form and he Is showing flash OF
his big league form. The former
Nap catcher pegged around to the
bases in great style on Saturday.
Clarke was hardly himself when he
first joined the local club, but he

inside tip that Packey would not
even make that weight for him.
And he was right, too, for Packey
showed no desire at all to step
around with the champion. He
prefers to take on the dubs for

WILLARD IS
ON TRAIL Of
JOHNSON
Fight for Heavy Weight
Championship of World
May Be Staged in Paris
By JAY DAVIDSON

Los ANGELES. Oct. 2o.-Tom Jones
Is planning a trip to Paris In q few
weeks TO negotiate for match be-
Tor the heavy weight championship OF
the world. If he can get a trial on
the charges of conducting a prize
hight, pending against him as manager
OF Willard in the Willard Young bout,
or can get permission from the court
to make the trip, he will leave for the
east at once and arrange for the trip
to Paris.
Willard Is anxious to beat all
others to the big coon. and I am sure
that II he gets the match the cham
pionship will be returned to the
white race" said Jones this morning.
Jess is an improving fighter, will
have weight, height, reach and heart
on the negro. and certainly can hit
harder. There Is little chance that
a heavy weight championship bout
could be staged in America, so I will
try to get it put on over In Paris"
Undoubtedly Willard has fully as
good chance of whipping Johnson
as any other heavy weight in the
white ranks, and probably better
chance. So little is known of Pelky's
class or lack OF 1t that no compari-
son with Willard can be made, but on
what Jess showed against Gunboat
Smith. and his Improvement since
then. he ranks as the best white
heavy weight now in the business. He
has whipped Pelky and McCarty, both
fights having been held when he was
just beginning his career
Those who saw the Willard-Smith
bout in San Francisco will have to
admit that the worst Willard should
have had was draw. and had he used
his right hand In that fight he prob
ably would have stopped the gunner
The decision in favor Of Smith was a
big surprise to ringsiders and was
generally criticised by boxing author
tiles. IL any white man 10 to be sent
against Johnson, my selection would
be willard unhesitatingly. and 1t does
not look like a poor match for him,
either.
