BATTLE F0RJ1G BOUT Bids for Jeffries-Johnson Fight Will Be Opened at Hoboken Today. OFFERS TOTAL A MILLION Prediction Made That San Francisco Will Get Championsnip Go. New York, Dec. 1. Fight promoters with bids in their pockets aggregatng more than a millin dollars, will go to Hoboken, N. J.. today where they are going to pull off a formal event of unusual Interest In the sporting world. Bids are to be opened at 11 a. m., for the world's championship heavyweight prize fight between James J. Jeffries, retired and undefeated champion, and Jack Johnson, the negro title holder. Thirty-five bids In all have been re ceived, although all are not taken seriously, some by mail, some by wire, some delivered in person. They range in amount from $150,000, credited to Billy Garon of St. Louis, to $50,000, an amount promised by six different pro moters. But gossip In sporting circles sifts this long list down to five probable contenders Eddie Graney, James Coffroth and Jack Gleason, all of San Franclaco; Tom McCarey of Los Angeles, and Tex Rickard of the west generaylly. McCarey has offered $75,000 for the fight, it is understood, while the others mentioned, in their own words, "are bringing a wagonload of coin" ready to outbid everybody else or at least to offer the best all-around Inducements. They are here in person and are In earnest. Judging from the lineup almost sure ly California, and more probably San Francisco, will get the bout, but Just which promoter will win Is yet to be settled. Hoboken was selected as the place for opening bids because the police commissioner has taken a strict view of the anti-prize fight laws In this state and forbade such proceedings being held in the city. Both Jeffries and Johnson will shape up in the same ring at the Madison Square Garden tonight, however, when the public will have an opportunity to compare them. Jeffries will box with Sam Berger, while Johnson will ex hibit his speed and cleverness against two of his boxing partners. COACH YOST TO STAY FOR TWO MORE YEARS Ann Arbor, Mich., Dec. 1. Fielding H. Yost will teach football to the young men of Michigan for at least two years more. At the board of control meeting last night a two year contract with the "hurry up" man was ratified, both the coach and the university accepting the terms. Just what salary Yost will receive neither party cares to say. There Is great rejoicing among the students over the decision. Since the two brilliant victories over Pennsylvania and Minnesota the coach has been the most popular man connected with t-he university. The assurance that he will be on hand next fall to work with the fine material In sight leads Michigan men to believe that more fat years are In sight. The signing of Yost means that for two years mora Michigan will remain outside the western conference, as Yost cannot teach under conference rules. AUSTRALIANS KEEP DAVIS CUP Yankee Tennis Stars prove at Sydney. ImSydney, N. S. W.. Dec. 1.

Another clash of opinion between Michigan and Chicago occurred yesterday when the Midway professors an nounced themselves as directly opposed to the new Wolverine plans to rejoin the "big eight' The Michigan scheme to effect a compromise on the training table question was turned down cold by the Maroons, who declared Michigan no nearer the conference than she has been for the last four years. I- ollowlng the official opinions ex pressed by the Wolverines that they considered themselves able to return without humiliation or "crawling," the framers of Maroon athletic rules replied that nevertheless Michigan must forget the training table or stay out of the fold. That Michigan could return with in creased prestige because of his victory over two big teams this year and that such a return would boost the confer ence standard, was declared by the Maroon professors to be a thought en tirely original with the Ann Arbor peo ple.
