There were five competitors, embracing Harry Gordon, from the Coliseum, Chicago, who Is now riding at White City; E. S. Parker, from the San Souci rink; Charles Mitchell and Charles Rice of East Chicago and John Bishop of Whiting. The contestants finished in the order named above, although the East Chicago boys were in the lead most of the race, but tired toward the end and were passed by the Chicago experts.
Next Friday night there will be a five- I

he apologized, but it hardly helped matters, as It appeared to the crowd East Chicago was to blame for the delay, whereas they were not. The game was poorly conducted from the first and somebody didn't use much brains. The great rivalry between the two teams is well known and every close decision on
awarding of the sweater vests and
monograms, the following men being
remembered for their good efforts to
make a name for East Chicago In foot
ball: C. Douglas, McKenna, French, Smith, Ammerman, McDillon, Cadman, Hascall, Brown Snedden Lowery, Garrett, Macintosh, J. McShane and P. McShane.
In reply to the article In your pa
per on the evening of Nev. 26, claiming
that the game between Hammnd and East Chicag was marred thrugh the continual wrangling and kicking of the East Chicago team, I wish to deny'thls
statement, as most of the kicking was done by the Hammond men. The only real kick put up by East Chicago during the game was to be blamed on the head linesman, Stephens, captain of the
why it is hardly fair and very unsportsmanlike on their part, for it is known that the referee ruled the contest no game and that it should be placed over again. Mr. Hubbard of the H. A. A. will
vouch for this statement himself. If Hammond is really sincere in' thinking
she has the best football team in
northern Indiana, East Chicago will play tHem anywhere, any time and any
place. As far as claims go we have a far better one than Hammond, as we have a 11 to 0 defeat on them among our games. East Chicago is proud of
the record made toy her fast little football team, who averaged but 138 pounds. Seven defeats in eight years and only
one In the last two against teams that have outweighed them 20 to 30 pounds

Xew York, Dec. 4. Formal articles of
agreement for a glove bout of forty-
five rounds between Jim Jeffries and
Jack Johnson for the heavyweight championship of the world were signed
yesterday at Naegaell's hotel In Brooklyn. All negotiations were conducted
behind closed doors, both press and
public being allowed to cool their heels; below the stairs while the momentous affair was being discused between the principals, their so-called managers. Berger and Little, and the successful bidders, Tex Rickard and Jack Gleason. The conference lasted more than an hour, yet the articles of agreement drawn up by Attorney Henry Kcwalsky in impressive legal fashion the day previous, were not changed by the single scratch of a pen. When it was seen that the bdxers, according to the paper, had agreed to divide the prize money of $101,000 on the basis of 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser, the time taken -up for the several parties in interest to affix their signtures ceased to mystify. With a purse of $101,000, this division of the spoils would mean that Jeffries was betting Johnson and vice versa .exactly $25,250 that he would be returned winner of the fight. This sounds the first discordant note. It is a direct slap at the justice of the sporting public to ask confidence and belief in such a statement. Neither of the participants have been noted as a gamester. As a matter of fact, Jeffries has boasted that lie seldom took a chance of such .character.
From his old trainer, Billy Delaney, he learned the time-honored trick of
self-protection and nearly always covered the difference between the winning and losing end of a purse by a bet on his opponent a perfectly honorable business deal. There can be but one reasonable solution of the long conference there is one set of articles for the public and another on which the fighters will actually work. The cut of that Juicy purse will not be for from 50-50, in other words, any monetary return from the bout will be split squarely in two parts. The balance of the articles given cut deal with cut and dried details. Neith
er Jeffries nor Johnson may participate in a glove contest or exhibition prior to July 4, 1910. This does not interfere with theatrical appearances, of which there probably will ba many. The referee is to be selected sixty days before the fray by agreement; in case the boxers fall to settle on a suit
able man each one is to name two referees most available and the promoters will do the selecting.
Ltah, Nevada or California .will be the scene of the battle and the boxers nre required to be on the ground nine
ty days before July 4 in active training. Rickard and Gleason deposited $20,000 as a forfeit and the fighters put
up $10,000 apiece to carry out their
agreement. The ultimate stakeholder
has not been decided upon. Sixty days before the- battle the promoters agree
to deposit $30,000 more of the purse and forty-eight hours before the men -enter the ring the balance of $51,000 is to go
in escrow.
Temporary Stakeholder Bob Murphy
gave out these details after the fight
ers and promoters had escaped from the hotel from a side door. Jeff hust
led to catch a train for Washington
where his show gave an exhibition last night. Johnson trifled with the speed
laws in his rushing automobile across country to a Brooklyn theater. The promoters came back to New York to snatch a few hours' rest after the busiest two days of their several ca
reers.
Although Tex Rickard vehemently denied it, rumor was rife today that he
naa given Jerrries a jiu.uuu bonus in
cash Wednesday night to consider his
bid favorably. "I have given no bonuses to any one, declared Rickard.
"In the face of announced sentiment by the Utah authorities against the fight, do you intend to try and make Salt Lake the battle ground?" Rickard
was asked.
"Well, it isn't an even money propo
sition that it will be held at Salt Lake, replied Rickard.
As the present laws of Utah preclude
possibility of holding such a ring con test in that state and special legisla
tion would be required before it could
be pulled off there, Rickard is not of
fering over-liberal odds.
New York, Dec. 4. Calvin Demarest, the 22-year-od billiard marvel from Chicago, last night won the world's 18.2 balk line billiard championship. He defeated his fellow citizen, George Sutton, by the remarkable score of 500 to
8. His victory over Sutton, 'who has everal times been title holder at the
8.1 and 18.2 styles, was by far the mcst
brilliant performance of the Interna-
lonal tournament.
Although starting with a cipher, De
marest ran out his string in fourteen
nnings, checking up a sensational av-
rage of 35 10-14. His work reminded
the experts of Hoppe's play in the
sweepstakes at Chicago a few - years ago, when he cleaned up the world's best players. Demarest has been the
feature of the championship tourna
ment at the Madison Square Garden. He lost his first game to Sutton and since that time has won six straight matches.
In almost every instance he has won
n a spectacular nnisn. last nignt ne
had an unfinished run of 82, and gave
every Indication of going well into the
three figures had it ben necessary. It
was a walkover for the young Chicago
star all the way.
Last week three men were tied for
first honors, Demarest, Sutton and
Cline. Demarest disposed of both with
apparent ease and Is considered by au
thorities here to be the equal of Hoppe
and Ives, when tbe latter was at his
best. Moreover he gives promise of even better work.
Neither men started out with any-
great success. Demarest checked up a zero and Sutton followed with a 4. Then Demarest came back with a 47 and a 19. Sutton in the meantime gath
ered a cipher and a 21. Then Demarest came through with a brace of zeros.
He was believed to be off his game, and
many spectators were giving the vie tory to Sutton In advance when Demar est cut loose.

PROBE FOR ATHLETES Investigate Eligibility of
Notre Dame Stars. Xotre Dame, Ind., Dec. i.A. repre
sentative of an eastern weekly spent
a considerable portion of the day going over the athletic situation. The object
of his visit was to probe charges of ineligibility raised by Coach Yost of
Michigan against Notre Dame football
players and a thorough Investigation was made.
Full scholastic records for the last
five years were shown and the identity of all players coroborated by means of their records, names and pictures. Dolan, Dimmtck, Philbrook, Hamilton and Mathews, who have been hinted as not
being eligible to play under college rules, all made signed statements covering the full history of their football career.
The university authorities welcomed the investigation and did everything possible to have it made thorough, as they know that the men in question are all right and that when the facts are presented they will prove without doubt that the criticisms of the Notre Dame players is without Justice or foundation.
