Los Angeles, Jan. 4 J nine J. Jeffries, the retired and undefeated heavy, weight champion of the world, Is the only hope of the white race now. The well-meant offers of Jim Corbett, Tom Sharkey and Bob Kttxstmmons to give battle to Jack Johnson, the negro champion, are appreciated to the full extent of their true worth, but it is to the mighty Jeffries, who has never known the sting of defeat, that the American
sporting public is now looking to for succor from an embarrassing position. Jeffries need not go to foreign lands in quest of a fortune. The big fellow
may live, train and fight in his home city and then receive mort money for his services than any boxer was ever paid before in the history of the ring. T. J. McCarey, matchmaker and half owner of. the Pacific Athletic club of this city, tonight duplicated the recent
offer made to JefEries by Jack Wren, the millionaire bookmaker of Melbourne, Australia. Mr. McCarey'a offer, pared down to an actual basis, is as follows: $50,000 ns Jeffries' End. He will give Jeffries $50,000 for the retired champion's end on a win, lose or draw basis. Th.e hour that Jeffrie signifies his willingness to talk business Mr McCarey will post $2,500 with a local newspaper to guarantee his ability to swing the Johnson part of
the big match. Jeffries when informed of the local offer reiterated his oft-made statement that he would never re-enter the ring, but added significantly: "If I ever do fight it won't be In this country." There is every evidence that the big fellow is doing some pretty d'ep thinking these days. Where a week ago Jeff was wont to resent any talk of his re
turning to the ring he now rubs Tils massive right hand across his face in a thoughtful manner and says: "That's a heap o' money, ain't it? It's jes' like tossing off a hundred thousand dollars." Intimates That He May Fight. It is known that to an intimate Jeffries said: "If I fight in Australia I will make a long tour of the world first, stopping in London, Paris and all the large cities. I wouldn't care if the trip took
up the best part of a year." Despite Jim's strong insistence that he has no intention of fighting Johnson,; he obviously is at least becoming reconciled to the possibility of such an
event. If Jeffries has studied arithmetic he has overlooked the dollars and cents section, for the big boy has little idea of the value of money. His real friends have impressed upon his mind, though, the fact that he is passing up a fortune, and the retired champion is thinking, thinking, thinking.
The Hammond high school acquitted itself with glory last Saturday night. In a double basket-ball contest the local school came out with flying colors, downing both the high school fives of McKinley and Gary. This makes the third victory this season for the school team. ' The first game of the double-header was played between Gary and Hammond's second team. The contest was a spirited one from start to finish, but Hammond took the lead from the start and held it throughout the game. The first half ended with Hammond having scored 11 points and Gary 8. In the second half Gary' tried hard to overcome the lead but by numerous fouls they were unable . to head Hammond. The game ended with Hammond having scored 22 points and Gary 17. Immediately after the curtain-raiser the Hammond-McKinley game started. It was the best game the local team played this season, being a fierce contest from start to finish. Hammond made the first score and held the lead throughout the game, although McKin
ley in the fore part of the contest was giving the local boys a good rub. Gradually Hammond's scoring machine started and after this McKinley was unable to stop them, but they broke up the different plays well. Hammond was
the aggressor all through the game i and was master of the contest all the j time. The first half ended with the
score standing, Hammond, 25; McKinley, 12.
After this Hammond had the game
won and simply played McKinley ofl j their feet. They kept on rolling up a larger score. Although the city lads j
saw they were beaten they kept right on and tried to keep Hammond from scoring. Hammond allowed McKinley to score' only 7 points in the last half, bringing their score up to 19, while in turn Hammond scored 22, making their end of the score 47. The contests were both hard-fought and Hammond well deserves credit for the two victories. Of course, credit is also due to the vanquished teams for playing hard arid

Hart Would Fight Kaufman
or Schreck. LexingtCn. Ky., Jan. 3. Marvin Hart
today telegraphed James J. Jeffries at
Los Angeles, asking JefEries to arrange
a fight for him with Al Kaufman, MikeSchreck or any other heavy-weight who is considered in Jack Johnson's class. Hart says the size of the purse is not the main object, as he desires to whip some good man who is regarded as a legitimate challenger of Johnson, so he can get nearer the champion. Hart will not decide what he will do about the $10,000 offer from San Francisco to go to Australia and fight Johnson until he hears from Jeffries. Hart says he will tackle any of the men who have challenged Johnson.

By special permission of the mayor the first revival of boxing in eight years has been arranged for Thursday night, when Jack Gardner of Lowell and Jack Carrig of Chicago meet in a ten round bout for charity. Sporting men take this as the forerunner of other fights. Memphis served as the scene for many of the biggest battles in pugilism prior to the stoppage of the sport and thou
