" Place Not to Be Told for Several Days Yet, Ttickard Waiting tt See How Nelson Draws San Francisco Clieers Champion. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. (Special.) J.ot ror several days can the official an nouncement be expected from Rlckard and Gleason as to the location of the Jeffries-Johnson fight. It is decided, of course, as far as it can be known, aside from the official statement that the fight Is to come to Cal ifornia, but Rlckard want to wait a few days. He explains that he wants to view the various sites, but it is more than likely that he wants to see how the crowds flock to the Richmond arena to see Nelson and Wolgast before, declaring what Is to be done. Jeffries would hardly have left for Los Angreles with the end of the controversy Ptill In doubt end it is surmised that he has been assured privately that there is no further argument. Tiickard Is Waiting. "I haven't had a chance to talk with Gleason," said Rlckard tonight. "He has been busy with this show ever since I arrived and that accounts for the delay. Also, I want to look the ground over and see what there Is to choose from. In four or five days we ought to know for certain." Rlckard said he was still receiving telegrams from his backers in Salt Lake City instructing him that the Utah city desires to stage the Jeffries-Johnson con test. Before six thousand spectators, Jeffries appeared in the ring as the main feature of an athletic carnival conducted by Jack Gleason, one of the promoters of the biff fight, this afternoon, at Recreation Park. It was the first time that the Cal lfornians have seen him since he sig nified his willingness to fight Johnson. Above all other things, the crowd was impressed with the seeming splendid con dition of the former champion. Jeffries' Agility Noted. The gymnasium ritual he followed In the ring before his three-round bout with Sam Berger, his manager, showed him to be fast on his feet without any Indica tion of fatigue and etill massive in bulk without any tendency to excessive avoir dupois. He sklppel the rope, did shadow fighting and various other training stunts that brought cheers from the bleachers and grandstand. When the Jeffries part of the pro gramme had been concluded, the boiler maker jumped from the ring and sped across the baseball field to the club house in a sprint that outdistanced his trainers. Jordan, In calling attention to the fight from the ring this afternoon, said that It would be held in California. SUNDAY HANDBALL TABOOED Y. 51. G. A. Team Players Discharged (or Play of Games. .

BOTH READY FOR BATTLE Wolgast Declares He's Going to Win Fight if He Has to Go Limit of 45 Rounds Nelson Is Dubl- ous of the Outcome. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 20. (Special.) With their last work this afternoon as an adjunct to the Jeffries show. Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast, who will vent their spite on each other at the Richmond arena Tuesday afternoon, have practically finished up all of their training work. Nelson may play a couple of games of handball tomorrow afternoon to pass the time, but Wolgast has knocked off completely and they are now sim ply awaiting the word that will send them into action. The pair of them look to be in as good condition as could be desired. Wolgast is a little less than two pounds below the, stipulated 133 pounds and Nelson is hovering close to the mark, so that there can be no question of their ability to make the weight. Nelson Shows Bitterness. There was an accidental meeting to day that also showed the bitterness that exists. Wolgast was seated in the office at the baseball headquarters when Nelson entered. Two Quick glances the Dane gave his opponent, and with not a word of greeting he strode across the room and took a seat in silence. The betting, although it still remains with Nelson a 10 to 6 favorite, is vig orous and there are indications that it may go back to 10 to 7. Tonight both ends were In. evidence and Tom Cor bett looks for a world of money to be placed on the match. The Los An geles support that Tom Jones has been predicting would arrive, has made its appearance. The Southern bettors are loyal supporters of Wolgast and be lieving that he has a good chance to win the title are sending in their money. The hulk of the betting, of course, has been on the even money proposi tion that Wolgast will stay 25 rounds Will Wolgast ,Hold Out? Referee Eddie Smith discussed the rules with Wolgast. He told the Michigan lad that if he fought as he did with Powell there would be no trouble. Smith added, however, that in the gymnasium camp he noticed Wolgast frequently held one of his op ponent's hands. "That suits me," said Wolgast. "I don't care if Nelson butts me with his head, as he has done, according to the pictures of many of his fights. I don't care how rough he gets, but, above all, I do not want to win on a foul, as I can beat him without that. If the Dane tries to smother me, as he did in the Los Angeles fight. I wouldn't be surprised if the fight goes 45 rounds. I mean by that, if Nelson insists on not fighting, that I do not propose to wear myself out against him." Nelson says that he does not know how long the fight will go, as it de pends upon how strong Wolgast is. SWIMMING TOURNEY ON SOON California Association Chooses Bl- mini for, Water Contests.

Practice Contest Opens at Santa Maria Next Week. BY W. J. PETRAIN. Manager McCredie and his ball tossers will start tomorrow night for the training camp at Santa Maria. Santa Barbara County, California, and next Monday morning the fans of Portland may expect to be informed of the result of the first practice game of the season. The tall manager of the destinies of the Portland baseball team haa arranged for a practice game with the Santa Maria club for Sunday, February 27, and has ordered his ball tossers to report in time to pray this game. Squad Will Be There. Captain Perle "Casey, Jesse Garrett. Howard Guyn, Charles Armbruster, Frank Turk, Al Lodell, and possibly Joe Smith, will accompany Manager McCredie. Buddy Ryan and "Deacon" Wright have assured McCredie that they will meet him in San Francisco Thursday, and ac company the squad south. Gus Fisher is also one of the squad announcing that he will be at Santa Maria on time. The Portland team is scheduled to play 19 exhibition games, and some of these will be important contests, as. McCredie has scheduled games with the Chicago White Sox and several of the California State League clubs. The White Sox games will undoubtedly attract a great deal of attention, for it gives a line on the merits of the players such as is not always obtainable in the practices or in terclub games. No word has come from Ivan Olson, and since lining- up "Nig" Perrlne, Manager McCredie has ceased to bother his head about Olson or the latter's intentions. McCredie says he does not believe 'Olson will be foolish enough to hold out and sustain a fine of $500 at the hands of the National commission, and furthermore, he an nounces that the player will have to show up at th training- camp on time or sustain a fine. "I don't want any player on my club who has an idea that I cannot get along without him," said McCredie, yesterday. "I don't believe Olson has such a notion, but if he has he had better 'can' it quick and be on hand at Santa Maria as fast as he can get there. He will receive no transporta tion from me until his signed contract has been received, and this goes for all of the players I have enrolled on my club. "Deacon" Wright is on his way to California, and I expect he is bringing his contract with him, so I won't worry on his score. Perrlne Is "the Goods.". "Perrlne is one of the best young infielders in the business, and is a younger man than Olson. He came into a fortune of 35,000 two years ago and has not been very anxious to play ball until this season. "When the Inheritance was an nounced to him he promptly left the Louisville club and he has not played much of the time since. He writes that he is in fine condition and is anxious to play again. Perrlne mar ried a Minneapolis girl about a year ago and since that time he has cut out rough stuff and says he is looking out for the future." ' Joe Smith, the inflelder drafted from the Enid Club, champions of the West ern Association, is expected to arrive in Portland, from Blaine, Wtsh., today or tomorrow and go south with Mc Credie's party. CONLEY IS PICKED TO WIN Bantam Championship Contest Stirs Interest of Pans. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 20. (Special.) Rain or shine, the local fight bugs should see a real prize fight Tuesday afternoon at the old Jeffries arena on the southern edge of the city when Monte Attell, called the bantam cham pion, will meet Frankie C6nley In a 45 round contest. It is for the bantam championship and wifl carry to the winner of the bout the title and belt buckle that Manager Mc Carey, of the Pacific Athletic Club, has put up as an emblem. In all probability Attell has the better right to the title now than any other pugilist, for while Jimmy Walsh asserts he is the champion, he has been beaten several times, while Attell has lost but three battles, and in one of these Walsh put him out in six rounds. s " The coming battle is a very uncertain one, and If the recent dope counts for anything, Oonley should win. Just how the 46-rounds distance will suit either boy is something to guess at, for neither has gone that far, but as both are husky fellows, who have had many fights, one has the same chance to stand the gaff as the other. It Is idle to even imagine who will win, and there is no reason why either boy should be a favor ite in the betting. Without doubt there will be a large crowd present, for local fans are inter ested in this bout second only to the Jeffries-Johnson mill. , FANDOM AT RANDOM N A matter of a few weeks the t "What's the Score?" bug will com mence to make life miserable for the "smoke shop" ' clerks who are accom modating enough to keep tab on the results of baseball games. The Pacific Coast League has- dwin dled to Class X. In the opinion of "S" Hughes, of Seattle. The reason for the decline is that Sacramento has signed "Deacon" Van Buren. Of course Dugdale's signing of George FJngle has no significance. The Seattle scribes roast the tar out of Aberdeen and everything pertaining to the Gray's Harbor town simply be cause the Black Cat promoters desire something like a run for their money. When a league drops a club, said club should be' reimbursed. Kid" Gillen, a lightweight boxer from Council Bluffs, Iowa, is in Port land and is seeking a match with Ned Whitman. It was reported yesterday that he would probably be signed up with Whitman for the next "smoker." W. C. Dunlway and W. C. Johnson, the rival brilliant amateur champions Pays Interest on Savings and Time Deposits Cor. Second and Washington St. Portland, Oregon of Portland and Seattle respectively, are scheduled to open their chamnlon- ship 1000-point match at the Waldorf tonight. Johnson arrived yesterday ana expresses nimseir as in fine trim and conndent of winning. "Strangler" Smith and Ned Lanlgan have not yet signed articles for their proposed wrestling match, but Smith announced last night that he was ready and willing to meet the Eng lish champion at any time. . Bob Brown, manager of the Van couver Club in the Nortnwestern League, seems to have landed all of McCredle's ex-Northwestern iplayers. according to his announced line-up. The Vancouver list includes Haggln. Bassey, Adams, Croker and Breen, all formerly with Portland. Manager McAleer, of the Washington American League team, is said to be contemplating the sale of "Dolly" Gray, the Ex-Los Angeles twirler. Gray pitched good ball for Washing ton, and was especially effective against Detroit. He is the only left handed pitcher on the Washington team's staff. Jim Jeffries appeared publicly at San Francisco yesterday, and now the Southern city scribes, having satisfied their curiosity anent - his condition, should commence hammering Johnson until the latter arrives in the "chosen" land. RUNNING SQUADS TRAIN CROSS-COUNTRY CONTEST SET FOR APRIL 9. Nash, of Lincoln High, Expected to Take Plrst Easily Schedule of Points Plxed. With the interscholastic cross-country meet only six weeks away, aspirants for places on the running teams at the vari ous institution are beginning to train in earnest and squads of scantily clothed athletes may be seen almost every day in the week running along the 'streets out side of the business district. The interscholastic athletic board de cided last Thursday to hold the cross country run April 9, as the Columbia in doormeet had been set for April 16. It was decided Saturday morning to al low a total of 26 points for the run, and to count nine points for first place, six for second, four for third, three for fourth, two for fifth and one for sixth place. It had previously been decided to score nine, ten, five, four, three, two and one points for the first six plaees in their order, but the majority of the com mittee decided that this arrangement practically would give the cup to Lin coln High School on account of the su periority of Nash, who is expected to take an easy first. Crabbe, of Allen Preparatory School, Is considered one of the strongest entries, although the distance ts not great enough for him to do his best work. His special ty Is the ten-mile event, and at that dis tance he is one of the best in the coun try, but as the interscholastic run does not extend over two miles and a half, he will not have as good a chance to use his power of endurance. It Is thought by many that the contest for first place will be between Crabbe and Nash. The athletic committee went over sev eral courses Saturday morning and fin ally decided on the following: Start at Forty-fifth street and Sandy road: on Sandy road to intersection of East Glisan street; to old Portland field and finish on Davis street. Each school will enter five men for the run. By several combinations it will be possible for two teams to tie. For in stance a tie would occur if one team won first and sixth places and another won second and third. Most of the schools will have inter class meets and will use the winners for the team in-the big event. Lincoln High and Portland Academy have had large squads out training several days and the other schools will be in line this week. Training for the annual Columbia indoor meet on April 16 also has begun. A cup offered by the Honeyman Hard ware Company will be awarded to the winner of the meet.

J., captured two foxes which had been robbing his coops for a long time and alsa recovered from the stomach of one of them an uncut dia mond, valued at $300, lost by his daugh ter.

CORNER SIXTH AND OAK STREETS. GOOD FIGHTS ON TAPJS PORTLAND FANS HAVE GREAT EXPECTATIONS ROUSED. Rose City Athletic Club Planning Series of Exhibitions in March. O'Brien and West May Meet. With Johnny Coulon matched before the Oregon Athletic Club for the night of March 16 or 18, and the Rose City Athl.etic Club planning a series of ex hibitions for the lirst week in March, as well as Tommy Tracey's plan to re match Danny O'Brien and Gene West, the patrons of the boxing game in Port land can expect some lively doings in the next few weeks. Coulon disposed of the English cham pion, Jem Kenariek. at New Orleans Saturday, and in a few days he expects to start for Portland. This will be his first trip to t.-.e Pacific Coast, and if he is successful in inducing either Monte Attell, Danny Webster or Frankie Conley to make 115 pounds, he will appear in a championship battle probably in San Francisco. Coulon will be accompanied by his father, B. E. Coulon, who acta as his manager, and on their arrival in Port land they will procure training quarters, where Johnny will prepare for his exhi bition bout here with Jimmy Carroll. Louie Long, before leaving Seattle yesterday for his home in Oshkosh, handed out the following hot tip on Frankie Conley to the Seattle Times: "Take my tip and get a bet down that th little Conley boy trims Monte Atteil when he meets the bantam champion," is the saga advlc handed out by Louie Long on the eva of hia departure to visit his folks in Oak land. "Conley is a sawed-off little chan with -wide shoulders. He cannot hit hard enough lo dent a cream pufl when boxing at long range," continued Louie, "but once he gets in close he hits from all angles, and his punches are heavy ones. too. "Conley's name is not Conley at all. He is a Bohemian. I believe, who has grabbed an Irish handle to do his flghttng under. Just a that Chicago Italian la fighting under the name of Hugo Kelly, and thousands of Irishmen who do not know he is an Italian put a bet on him just from pride of the race." ' DIRECTORS.
