NEW TORK, Oct. 2S. That both Jim
Jeffries and Jack Johnson mean busi
ness and will sign articles of agree
ment without much haggling over de
tails Is the conviction of New Tork
sporting men who have seen and talked
with both fighters during- the last few
weeks.
The articles will be signed this
week. If all goes well, and then the
business of accepting an offer will
b'e In order. Tent.-f ive bids for the
bout began to come in today.
Johnson, who was In Chicago today,
should reach New York by the end of
the week and the two fighters will
, meet and talk over the conditions of
the bout.
Jeffries showed considerable en
thusiasm regarding the -match today.
"I only hope," he said, "that Johnson
means what he says In this case, in
view of what the papers are printing.
Thirty Days Too Soon.
"He Is quoted as ready to sign arti
cles at once and willing to flKht within
80 days. Of course It would be im
possible to pull off the fight within
30 days and Johnson Is exaggerating
a little when he mentions so early a
' date. But if he wants to sign up In
a hurry ie will find me ready to meet
him half way. The truth Is I am eager
to get a crack at Johnson."
Jeffries took things easy after his
ffve miles or fi of road work yester
day with Sam Berger, his manager.
He passed most of the day In chats
with visitors- and friends. Tomorrow
he plans to pay a visit to Cooper's
Gymnasium for a thorough tryout.
Coffroth on the Job.
Jim Coffroth, the Pan Francisco
fight promot.r. reached town today.
Later in the week he hopes to show
Jeffries and Johnson that Colma Is the
only place in the world for the fight
to be held. He will not present hi
formal bid until after articles of
agreement have been signed, he said
tonight.
A friend of Coffroth, who saw him in
California recently, ts authority for the
itatement that the promoter Is prepared
to bid J50.000 for the fight or offer 70
per cent of the gross receipts. There
seems tc be little doubt here that the
Californlan will land, the fight.
The popular anxiety to see what Jef
fries eats has not been rewarded by suc
cess, aa the former champion takes hla
meals In his rooms, but it Is said that
be Is dieting, as though he expected to
enter the ring on a few hours' notice.
A meeting has been arranged for Jeff,
his manager, Sam Berger, Coffroth and
Johnson for Tuesday night, but If John
son and his manager. George Little, do
not arrive here In time, a conference will
be held Wednesday night, and It Is un
derstood this meeting wllf quickly re
sult in the signing of articles and the
posting of forfeits.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. SS.John J.
Gleason, a prizefight promoter, announced
tonight that he would leave Thursday
', for New York City in an endeavor to
-j bring the heavyweight championship bat
tle to Alameda, a suburb of San Fran
' Cisco, where the Bay Shore Athletic Club,
he said, would put up a sum. said to be,
J75.000. to , be divided by the fighters.
Gleason nan.es as his backara Al White
and J. J. Landrigan, the latter a capitalist
of Alameda.
i Sporting men here believe It a foregone
conclusion that James Coffroth will.be
the favored one among the many strlv
, icg for the fight. Coffroth. through hla
, . evident friendship for Johnson, it la
' stated, enabled the negro to pocket about
1 ' JC000 as his share of the recent clash
with KctcheL All the other fights of
" , , any consequence in which Johnson has
appeared, that with Ferguson in 19v3, Sam
JlcVayln 1W5 and Jim Flynn in 1907, were
, fought under Coftroth's auspices.
Jeffries also owes most pf his big purses
to Coffroth. In 1902 his fight with Gus
Ruhlin drew J3O.0U0; that witfi Bob Fitz
simmons J30.C0O; with Jim Corbett $06.O;
- while In 1304 the Jack ilunro fight drew
" $L).0U0.
CofTroth's plan when he started Bast.
" as outlined by those close to the pro
moter, was to oljer the fighters 70 per
cent of a house guaranteed to be $100,000,
and a third Interest each to Jeffries and
Johnson in the moving pictures. The pic
tures, it is said, would be worth at least
SoOO.oOO, .Coffroth retaining a third.
With his supposed influence over John
son, which Is said to have Induced the
negro to promise OBflroth that he should
have the big fight, and his previous suo-
cesses with Jeffries, sporting men here
say that Coffroth has the fight landed as
soon as binding article are signed by
the men and that his name or that of
his club will appear in the agreement.
Gleason. even In the face of these argu
ments, said ' that his proposition would
be placed before the big fighters and he
felt confident it would . be considered
favorably. '

' night that no term would be put up
from his side.
"We will listen to what JefTries has
to offer." aaid Johnson, "and if his
terms are reasonable It will not take
ten minutes to fix up the arrangement.
We want nothing unreasonable. Just a
fair fight for both sides. '
-. "There 'Is one thing I am against
- and that is any bids for the fight in
Australia. I never will fight over there
again, after the treatment I received.
" The fight must take place either in this
-- country or in Kngland and I am-sure
' the bidding here will be stronger than
anything Kngland could offer.
"As for the time ot the battle. Jef
fries can have his own way.. I see he
is reported to have paid he would be
1 ready in March or April. That suits
,c A me and I will be ready for him then, er
sooner, but. of course, there would be

i longer than that."

Sir Thomas Lands With Chal

UNIVERSAL RULE WANTED
Foreign Sportsman Says He Will Xot
Build Another Freak Yacht to
Sail Over Atlantic Risk
lo Men Too Great.
NEW TORK, Oct. 25. "I have come
over this time red hot for another
challenge to the New York Yacht Club
and will, do my best to arrange mat
ters with the club so that I can have
another chance to lift the America's
cup."
So spoke Sir Thomas Llpton today
on his arrival from Europe. He will be
In New York several days.
T do not care to talk more definite
ly." Sir Thomas said, "until I bave seen
the yacht club committee who will have
this matter In charge."
It Is believed Sir Thomas has brought
with him a challenge conditioned upon
modification of the rules governing
contests for the America's cup. Sir
Thomas desires the club to change the
present rule so that he can bring over
; a Shamrock IV, built under rules wmcn
1 will. permit the construction of a sub
stantial racing craft.
The present rule governing America's
cup races provides only for a given
water-line length and under this con
dition fragile racing machines ,were
developed. Sir Thomas expects to meet
the members of the New Y'ork Yacht
Club within a few days.
Sir Thomas later consented to talk
about what he would like to see done
In order to give challengers what he
considered an equal chance with Amer
ican yachts in cup races.
"I have been defeated three .times
in American waters,;' said Sir Thomas,
"and I will say frankly that on each
occasion the best boat has won. How
ever, every time I have challenged the
racing rules have been so changed that
ea"ch new race required that I build a
bigger freak than the last one. Five
times the Ajles have been changed.
"To bring over the freak yacht which
it Is necessary to build under the pres
ent rules means grave danger to the
yacht and to the men obard her. I have
lost two men In coming across the At
lantic "What I desire Is to race under the
universal rule. If I can't win under
that rule, I can at least provide good
sport, and that is the primary reason
for all racing, or at least It should be."
Sir Thomas said he wanted to race
for the cup with a 90-footer and would
be ready In 1911. v
BASKETBALL LEAGIE LIKELY
Director Angell Gets Many Replies
From Northwest Colleges.
OREGONIAN AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)
Basketball will be made a regular major
Intercollegiate sport in the Northwest
next Thursday, when an Intercollegiate
basketball association will be formed at
a meeting of representatives of the North
west colleges at Walla Walla. s
" Director B. D. Angell, of O. A. C, has
received replies from Whitman College,
Washington State College and the Uni
versity of Idaho, stating that they had
accepted the invitations sent out by him,
and that they would send representa
tives to Walla Walla, for the purpose of
perfecting the proposed organization.
The University of Washington and the
University of Oregon have not been
heard from, but will in all probability be
represented. The association will adopt
the Intercollegiate rules and will draw
op a schedule for the year which will
provide that each member of the associa
tion shall meet each of the other mem
bers in two games, one to be played, on
the local home floor and the other" on
the visitors' home floor.
This will add a new sport to the list of
intercollegiate athletics, and will fill a
long-felt need In providing a mid-Winter
game. Last year .the college basketball
schedues were not satisfactory, very few
games were played, and these at a great
expense because of the want of an or
ganization. SOUTH PORTLAND LOSES

day for Walla Walla, where" they are
scheduled to meet the speedy Whftman
eleven on Friday. The team will leave
a day early in order that they may be
thoroughly rested from their long trip
before they enter their first hard con
test. The decisive victory which Whitman
secured over Idaho last Saturday Is the
cause of great conoern In the local foot
ball camp. Reports of the game indi
cate that Blanchard has developed a
much stronger team at the Washington
Institution than local "dopesters" had
expected. The result is that Metzger Is
making ' a desperate effort to whip his
team into shape for an exceptionally
hard game. . .
The squad was given a long hard work-
out tonlgnt, despite their sore muscles
and Injures received in the game with
the Catholic Young Men's Club last

in tackiirg. a. hard signal practice and.
then were made to finish the night's work

Victorious Jn four out of five events in
which they entered, and taking second
prize in the fifth, the Multnomah Ama
teur Athletic Club's representatives at
the Portola sports at San Francisco last
week returned home last night.
Edgar B. Frank, Multnomah's wrestler,
who showed himself the superior of two
Californlans in the grappling events, won
both his matches by securing one fall
from each opponent, for he showed so
much class that the calitorniane quit.
Henry Mose, tha qAher wrestler from
Multnomah, won his match in two out of
three falls.
Phil Patterson, Instructor Cavill's crack
young swimmer developed at the Multno
mah Club, easily won the 440-yard swim.
but was not started in the half-mile event
because It was called 10 minutes after
the quarter, and all fresh entries were
lined up against him, so the Multnomah
Instructor decided to withdraw him under
the circumstances.
Olmar Dranga. who tiad a decision ren
dered against him In his match with
Young Greggains, son of Alex Greggains,
the former boxer, brought home first
prize for the event, as Greggains, who
was overweight, forfeited the prize.
Dranga went on wjth him to 'fill out the
programme.
The defeat of Forrest Smlthson la at
tributed to the - fact that he had not
trained for the race, and had not had a
spiked shoe on since the A.-Y.;P. games,
and also because the California lad, real
izing that he was running against a
champion, strained every effort to- win,
and being in better condition, succeeded.
The race was run In record time, and
Smlthson had not figured on such strong
competition.
Wrestling Instructor O'Conncll and
Swimming Instructor CavllI, both of
whom accompanied the team. also re

O'Shea Must Stand Trial in Test
1 Case, Having Bet Money on
Coursing Match.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25,-In a de
cision of the Flist District Court of Ap
peals' today written by Chief Justice
Cooper and concurred in by Associate Jus
tices Hall and Kerrigan, the Walker-Otis
anti-betting law passed by the last ses
sion of the Legislature was declared con
stitutional. The decision was the result of a test
case originating "In the arrest of Frank
F. O'Shea for accepting bets on a cours
ing match. O'She'a was held to answer
in the Police Court and his attorney, ex
Superior Judge Carroll Cook, applied for
and obtained a writ of habeas corpus
rrom the Appellate Court. The writ was
argued several weeks ago and taken un
der advisement.
: On the court's decision today that the
law was constitutional, .O'Shea was re
manded to the custody of the Sheriff to
await trial.
Two questions were raised in the attack
on. the constitutionality of the law.
Shea's lawyers contended that the Leg
islature, In fixing a penalty ranging from
80 days in the County Jail to .one year
in state's prison, had put upon the courts
the task of determining whether the of
fense was a misdemeanor or a felony.
This, the court ruled, was not a transfer
of legislative power to the Judiciary, but
a proper discretion left to the Judge.
The other attack on the law was a
criticism of Its wording, the statute con
taining a sentence of 300 words. The 4
pages of brief upon this point were dis
missed by the Judges with scant com
ment. It is believed that an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court.
