New York, Dec. 11. That Jack jDhn-

son expects to stick with James J- Jef

fries for at least twelve rounds in the

battle for the championship o? the

world July 4 the colored champion has

made known to his friends. He aso believes that after he has led the retired title holder for a dozen merry rounds he will beable to finish the big boilermaker, but even if he shouldn't be able to turn the trick he will string his money that he will last at least twelve rounds. The black made this known to a number of friends while taking in the six-day, race at Madison Square

Garden, and as a consequence the odds

on this proposition are likely to be

pretty slim on the day of the battle.

"Any one that says we are going to

flake the fight on account of the moving pictures is on the wrong lay," that's

it. Don't you thing that I can keep out of his way that long, even if I don't knock him out myself? The way I. figure it is that after the twelve rounds or so are over Jeffries will be so tired tfiat I can go in and finish him at will. I will bet quite a chunk that is the way it will come out. "Don't risk any money that he will get an, early knockout, for there isn't a chance in the world. I know what Jeffries expects to do. He intends to

rush and bore in from the tap of the gong, bearing me down by sheer weight. Well, he'll get tired of that, all right. He can rush as much as he pleases, but it will be shadow boxing for him, and, besides. I expect to get in a jab or two when he isn't looking. The fact that the colored champion was so free with his plan makes the fight followers a little suspicious, and it seems to bear out the reiterated statement that on account of the pic-

you can just bet that the fight will last that long, but not because it has been

that I can go in and knock out Jeffries in the first round or two. I am

that the fight won't be over inside of

twelve rounds. No man living can get to me in that number of rpunds, and I e.m not making any secret of the fact

that I don't believe that Jeffries can put me away in that time.

son may be sincere in his statement about his plans, but it sounded as if it had been rehearsed for the occasion simply as a means of putting the soft pedal on the plans agreed to between the interested parties. Whether he is sincere or not in his announced plans for the clash, others figure that, even U it should not be fixed up in advance, the scheme looks feasible. Very few believe ' that Jeffries will be able to get to the slippery Ethiopian early in the fight, and the twelve rounds look reasonable enough.

The chances are that the biggest part of the money bet on the fight will be risked on the number of rounds, and

GARY BASKETBALL TEAM HAS SCHEDULE

6-DAY RACERS FAR REHli SCHEDULE

Fred Clarke, the unsigned manafger of the world's champion Pirates, is In Chicago. He arrived there last night from Springfield, Kan., and will leave this afternoon on the Twentieth Cen

tury Limited for New York, where he will confer with Barney Dreyfuss,

owner of The Pirates. Although Clarke

has not attached his name to contract for 1910, he fines not anticipate any trouble with his boss. The manager of the champions brings the. valuable ' information that Honus Wagner, star of stars, has not signed, either. Clarke did not say positively whether the big German would pen his name to the "poipers' 'or not, but left the impression that he would. In

answer to the question of the spring

training quarters of the champions

Clarke said: "I don't know just where they will go, but I think it's a pipe that California will not be the favored spot. Furthermore, let me say that I do not

take any stock in the report that Tom my Leach will manage the Phillies."

What is most interesting Clarke right

now is his canvass covering for a dia

mond in case of rain. Clarke is the big inventor and intends to get all the ma

jor league owners to purchase one of the coverings at ,the league meeting

in New York next week. '

"Three clubs posses the coverings

now," said Clarke. "They are Pitts

Durg, Cleveland and Cincinnati, l am

communicating -with several universi

ties, as the coverings would be hot stuff for football fields. It is a per

fect protection against rain. It is 160

feet square, and is made of parafine

duck canvass. The total weight is 10,-

000 pounds. . '

"It can be rolled up in no time ,and it takes only five minutes to spread

it out. It covers the entire skinned

diamond and the base lines."

JEFF GETS THREE VOTES FOR MAYOR

OF LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles, Dec. 11. James J. Jeffries had a narrow escape at the polls

here Tuesday. His name reaped three

votes for mayor, almost a stampede in

fact. His candidacy was not announced before the election, but this did not

prevent the cunning of his supporters,

They gathered at the polls early, and

refused to be intimidated by the vari ous ward heelers. It was noticed that all three enter

ed the booths casually, as if nothing but of the ordinary was on foot, and

there in the strict privacy they em bossed the name of J. J. J. on the pa

per furnished for the purpose. All three are preserving their pencils as

mementos of the occasion and all three

have signified their Intentions of noti

fying Jeff of their deed.

Friends of the trio of voters are

spreading reports that the voters are merely angling for free tickets to the Jeffries-Johnson battle, but the men in

question laugh at the rumors. "Xoth

ing to it," exclaimed one when inter

viewed by a local reporter yesterday. "Made out of whole cloth," said another, while the third maintained a dignified silence. The fact that Jeff got the three votes was brought out yesterday in the official canvass.

i Great preparations are being . made by the Polish people of Hammond and the surrounding cities for the reception of Zbyszko, the Polish wrestler who will appear in this city next Tuesday evening.

Groman. .The seat sale" for the wrestling match has been very good and it Is expected that the whole house will be sold out before the evening of the entertainment. It is said that never before has there been such a splendid aggregation of world renown wrestlers in this part of the country. The bill will bo one that the wrestling enthusiast can not afford to pass up. It will be remembered that in a handicap match between Champion Frank Gotch and Zbyszko, Gotch was unable to throw Zzyszko In an hour. Zbyszko now makes the boast that he will be able to throw Gotch after he gets Into training. The wrestling carniavl is to be given under the auspices of the Hammond Athletic association and great interest is being aroused in the event both in the cities of the Calumet region and in Chicago. The bill includes a match betweeh Zbyszko and Raoul De Roulinger, tle French champion, a semi-wlndup between Young Jordon, the world's champion in the lightweight class, and Peter Is'chols, known as "Rough House Nick." J The famous Greek wrestler, Demetral, will wrestle with Mike Conley, and Tom Winklehofer, the Austrian Hercules, will wrestle George Siegfried, the German thunderbolt.

A copy of the Lake County Democrat reached the governor's office yes.terday in which it was published that

Gary was ready with a certified check for $75,000 to be bid for the JeffriesJohnson fight for the heavyweight championship of the world, and in which it was further published that a committee of Gary and other Lake county business men would shortly wait on the governor in an effort to obtain his permission for the fight to be pulled off on Indiana soil, it being added that the business men thought they could present the matter to the governor "in such a way as to obtain his consent." The governor declined to make any comment on the question at this time, as it had not reached him regularly. It is thought, however, that in the

light of the governor's attitude toward prize fights since he assumed office, he will not likely make an exception of Gary. Indianapolis News.
