THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAN. PORTLAXD, MAY 1, 1910. FIGHT FANS WILL SPEND MILLIONS Corbett Estimates $10,000. 000 as Amount to Be Set Afloat by July 4. 25,000 VISITORS EXPECTED Personal Expense Will Kan Cp to $7,500,000; Betting Odds Vn certain, but Johnson 19 Not Without Supporters. BT JAMES J. CORBETT. (Copyright: 11)10; by the Tribune Company.) Have you ever stopped to think, reader, that fully $10,000,000 would be set afloat by the Jeffries-Johnson fig-ht on July 4? Pretty neat little package to go Into general circulation, isn't it? Ten millions of dollars expended In a sporting event of National Interest means that every Industry and busi ness must feel the effects. I have heard It said that the great American Derby at the old Washington Park; track In Chicago, which drew the record-breaking attendance in the world's fair, or Boundless- year, of nearly 80, 000 people, was worth a million dollars . to the merchants of Chicago. Well may we all regret that the great Derby day has passed Into turf history, and the more we think about these . matters the more anxious we should become to have at least one great sporting event every year., Fighters Will Earn Every Penny. We have heard a lot of talk about the $101,000 purse and the probability that the winner In the great fight would receive something like $300,000 more from the moving picture receipts, but even this pales into insignificance when compared to the millions spent by the public interested in the final result, and when we take these mat ters into consideration, does any one believe that the two men are being overpaid for their hard work in months of preparation, the expenditure of great nervous and physical force, and the outlay of thousands of dollars in train ing expenses? It is upon this excellent physical con dition that the success of the greatest ring event in all pugilistic history de pends, and the two men are well en titled, to every penny they are to re ceive. How Millions Will Be Spent. But how do we figure that these ten millions or more are to come Into gen eral circulation by the fight? In the first place, there will be the cost of the building of the grandstand at Emeryville racetrack, where the fight will be held. Local artisans and busi ness interests will be benefited through this expenditure, of course, as they should. There will be. however, a consider able sum spent for police protection, for "Jack" Gleason told me when In Now York that an Immense squad of 600 detectives would be drawn from all parts of the country, and possibly from Scotland Yard In England, to point out all the "crooks," that the San Kranclsco police may drive them over the state line. "1 don't care to make a cent out of hls fight beyond my actual expenses," said Gleason. "It's enough reward for me that tills should be the best-managed fight ever held. Plnkerton 011 the Job. "I shall have the services of Billy Plnkerton and other men who know the big crooks, and aside from that we shall take particular care in the sale of tickets to see that none gain admission to the Inclosure where the fight is held. Toughs also will be barred, that no free fights may be started, for good order at the ring side must be maintained at any cost." 1 believe Gleason meant every word he said. As an indication of his good faitii it seems only necessary to add that offers of thousands of dollars have been refused for bar privileges at the Emeryville track. No liquor will be sold within a considerable distance of the Inclosure. this being the under standing between Rickard and Gleason and the town supervisors. Gambling, too. Is to be barred as far as possible' and what Is done will be confined strictly to personal wafers between those at the ringside, which, of course oould hardly be prevented. " Many -Outsiders to Be on Hand. It Is estimated that 25,000 will go to San yranoisoo from outside the state. By this I mean those who will come from a considerable distance and at ready I hear of parties being formed In England. Kram-e. Pekin. China: the Hawaiian Inlands, and even Australia. The average cost to these visitors of $o00 eai li would total $7,500,000. which, with the personal cost of individual preparation. is rather conservative Railroads will not get the lion's share of the money, and aside from the hotel expenses a lot will be spent In various ways. Jlany will make this an excursion trip, visiting other points of interest ebout the country with their families, and so other sections will share In the general benefits. If we should aiid the great sum of money set afloat through the betting on the light to the other expenditures the mount put into general circulation be cause of holding this great fistic con test would more than double. Hujje Sum May Be Bet. I wouldn't be a bit surprised If $10, 0O0.00O was wagered on the result, for even while many tigure Jeff as a cinch, I think the contest affords one of the best light bettingr propositions of a ventury. In a contest of such great International interest, when the con testants are so evenly matched, with The race Question at Issue and the mat ter of physical condition having so much to do with the result. Jeff's ability to "come back" being still a matter of doubt in many minds a little -straw may change the result. Uo not think for a moment that John son is going Into the ring unsupported, for it -wouldn't surprise me a bit If a big lot of money should be wagered at evens. They tell me that in Australia Johnson is so well regarded that con siderable money already has been bet on him as a 6 to 4 favorite, which makes It evident that the victory of the colored man over Tommy Burns safely installed the victor as a world beater in the minds of Australians. Johnson Money in Wall Slreet. In Wall street there seems to be planty of Johnson money, with the re sult that the placing at evens has been the rule rather than the exception. Vor my part It looks as If there would be plenty of time to get down one's coin after a more satisfactory Teport on the results of the training of the contestants, say a month hence, when $.heir real work will be well under way. - Iii my opinrbu it is difficult at llns time to fix any basis of comparison which would make either man a favor ite over the other. In some cases en thusiasm of personal friends naturally would lead to making a favorite, but among the majority even money and take your choice will prevail. It is hard to dope a fig-ht, and there have been many instances where we have seen favorites defeated fn such . decisive way that we later wondered why the odds should not have been re versed. Wager on Length of Mill. There also has been some betting in the-East on' the duration of t'he fight, some friends of Jeffries believing that I he would come into trie ring in better shape than ever, and offering odds that the fight would not last ten rounds. I 'iJnk this form of betting Quite as uncertain a proposition as the other. J for the reason that no man living can ,n o.ny utMiniLe juea ol tne lengtn 01 a fight- because there are no good grounds upon which to 'base such an opinion, which at the best can be only a .gness. v - Other betting of which I have heard has favored a decision for Johnson in 20 rounds, and if the fight goeB to the limit the popular opinion is in favor of a decision for Jeffries. I am clinging to Jeffries as the win ner, as the result of his early work fully justifies all I-expect. It soon will be time to pack my grip and hike for the West, and then I'll try and tell my readers how the result looks from the VERNON PLAYERS HERE THIS WEEK Hogan Brings Bunch of Fasti nsuer proves wunwind Men Who. Are in Game to Win Pennant. NEW NICKNAME IS GIVEN Balltossers From Los Angeles Sub urb Xow. Known as "Beavers." . Many New Faces Will Appear in Portland Tuesday. Next week Happicus Hogan and a new fans as "Kitty." and who is still with the Brewers. Roy is one of the veterans of the diamond, and has had a varied experience. He enjoyed several seasons In the big league and is now one of the leading batsmen of the Coasters. The other -Brashear, with, whom the fans are quite familiar, is well known as a bats man, and this season he is said to be in better shape than ever before, and is playing grand ball. Roy plays second base, while Norman is holding down the third station for the Hooligans. Another star player whom Happicus is -to introduce to the fans of Portland Tues day is Will Fisher, -the new Vernon first Backer. This is the chap who came to Hogan touted as a wonderful fielder, but poor hitter, but he has been clouting the ball as hard as the next one ever since he Joined the Villagers. Fisher Is re ferred to at Los Angeles as the "Hal Chase" of the Coast organization, and from press accounts of his work he must be a rattling good player. The Vernon club will also introduce a new shortstop in the person of Lindsay, who is also touted as a star player. Ho gan also has a new third baseman named Burrell. who has not played many games because of injuries, but with "Kitty" Brashear on deck the club has not suf fered much. In the outfield the Brewers have Coy and Martlnke of last year's squad, both of whom are good hitters and base-runners, while in the other patch is Walter Carlisle, who played here with the Los Angeles bunch several sea- HIGHEST-PBICED CAR.

Of course- the Vernon chleftian's view of the matter is not shared by the Port land players, and for that reason the fans of this baseball burg can rejoice, for McCredie and his men are decidedly anxious to give-the villagers a handsome trimming. Captain Casey is not likely to get into the game this series, but he will be on hand to tell Happicus Hogan, his former teammate, how the Vernon club canrret win.- From the misfit aggregation Hogan had under him last season, the doughty but erratic leader of the village band has weeded out the bum ones, and seemed to have made good selections in filling their places. Thus far. he has shown that his club la one to be reckoned with in the battle for the flag, and with his pitchers working nicely, Happicus expects noth ing short of a pennant for Vernon, though nobody - outside of Los Angeles and the village home of the appendix shares the Vernon leader's idea. Happy Is quoted as desiring the scribes and the fans of the circuit to refrain from calling his bunch the misfits, Hooli gans and such appellations, and has se lected the euphonious sobriquet of Brew ers as the nickname of the club. Hap picus says his reason for the selection is that one of the principal owners of the Vernon club -Is a brewer. 1 "Wonder if Happy's penchant for the product has anything to do with it?" is the soliloquy of Doc Anderson. Among the new. faces, on the Vernon club this season is- Roy Brashear, brother of Norman, who Is better known to the sons ago and who led the league that season in the number of home runs scored. Hogan has practically the same pitch ing staff as last ' season Willett, Hitt, Brackenridge. Stovall and Schafer of last season's staff, and Hensllng, the former Sacramento twirler: All seem to be first class slab artists, and- the Vernon series should be a most Interesting battle for the honors.
