FORTIES KJOTES

CROUSE KNOCKS OUT STEWART Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 9. Buck Crouse put negro Jim Stewart out in the fourth round last night with a vicious left to stomach and a right to the jaw. Stewart tried to get up at the final count, but could not. It was Crouse's fight throughout. He scored hia first knockdown on the negro in the second round. A thousand' people witnessed the bout.

JOHNSON'S DOG A FIGHTER, TOO Detroit, Mich., Feb. 9. Jack Johnson is arrested again, this time because he keeps a bulldog as scrappy as himself. He was served with a summons last night to appear this rooming. He was out airing the animal when Samuel Lewis passed by. The dog grabbed Lewis by the arm and chewed it badly before Johnson could detach him.

BIG BOUT WILL HO DOUBT BE HELD AT COLft CAL.

Salt Lake City, Feb. 9. The JeffriesJohnson fight was practically given to Jimmy CofTroth's Colma club last night. Tex Rickard has all but admitted that he is beaten, and has practically given In to the California proposition. The conference yesterday was a sweeping victory for Gleason, although neither promoter would discuss the affair to any great extent. Three arenas are being considered, and all are in or near the Golden Gate, Oolma is the best bet at present, with San Mateo , and San Francisco itself ranging behind in the order named. It has been the general belief among sporting men the country over that when the real showdown comes that Jimmy CofTroth's finger "would be seen in the pie. Latest developments have le'nt strength to this opinion. Tex Rickard was gloomy fast nlghf. Gleason, on the other hand, was inclined to be a trifle "chesty." Their conference was of the briefest character and was most unsatisfactory to Rickard. His pet scheme of staging the fight of fights in "this city got a fearful knock on the head when County-Attorney Lyons yesterday said that he would stop the bout. This means that if Governor Spry should let it pass Lons will prevent the battle.

Rickard is so set against San Francisco, which means a defeat for his avowed principles, that he is even advancing Los Angeles now in opposition to Gleason's scheme. He appears mindful of the statement he made in Chicago that he stood ready to wager $5,000 that Co'frroth would have nothing to do with the fight and that it would never be staged in the Colma arena. He has not mentioned that wager for some time now, There is general regret among business men Tiere over the fact that Salt Lake City is going to lose the battle. They have been confident all along that Rickard would pull it off here, but at that are satisfied with the free advertising that has come , their way. As Rickard said in Chicago, "You couldn't buy that kind of advertising." "Which Is some consolation to alt Lake City. t

SPECIAL SESSION W DECIDE FATE OF KLIfiG

kerrmann Issues Call for Meeting of National Commission Feb. 23.

The fate of Johnny Kling, the Cub holdout wtho has applied for reinstatement, wil probably be known on Feb. 23. President Johnson of the American league announced yesterday that he had received notice from Chairman Herrmann of the national ' commission calling a special meeting of that body on the above date. Mystery surrounds the purpose of thegatherlng, as Herrmann failed to state anything in detail, but it is taken to mean that the application of Kling wil be the principal business to come up for disposal. The date of the meeting is four days before the departure of the Cub squad on their spring training trip to New Orleans and in the event of the commission giving out a decision of the case Kling would know his fate in jtime to prepare to accompany his old team-mates, provided the act of the commission is favorable. There is a possibility, however1, of the supreme court of baseball acting upon the case and then withholding their final decision until near the opening of the season. When asked whether he had anything to say regarding the case of Kling," Johnson answered in the negative. ; ; ; ' "I have nothing to,; say regarding Kling," said Johnson, "as I have been away and am' not thoroughly in touch with the situation. It is up to Chairman Herrmann to take the initiative steps, and we will have to await word from him. I know nothing of the report enamating from Cincinnati to the effect that either McRoy or Flanner of my offlqe have been appointed to the task of delving. Into the - details regarding , the blacklisting of the onetime Cub star."

SMITH CHOSEN AS REFEREE

Named to Officiate at Nelson Wolgast Fight. Oakland, Cal., Feb. 9. "Eddie" Smith of Oakland was chosen today to referee the fight between Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast on Feb. 22, Wolgast's manager, Sid Hester, promoter of the fight, and Nelson selected Smith after a short conference. At a conference of the principals held last night it was definitely decided to hold the fight at Point Richmond. Nelson today sprung a new gag that is bound to let the public, for a few days at least, know that he still lives. This time the "Terrible Dane," through his manager, insists that Eddie Smith, a Californian, have his life insured Immediately, the policy t be made out In Nelson's Javor. It is taken to mean that the Dane fears that when the Milwaukee Dutchman once tears loose he is liable to slip over the everlastJng sleep producer on the third man in the ring. Nelson figures that he might as well clean up a small sum.

TO DECRY DANGER ON THE GRIDIRON Iowa College Coaches Will Gather Statistics. Iowa City. Iowa. FeK 9. Coaches of the "Big Three" institutions in the state of Iowa are planning to collect statistics which will put to rout all the recent agitation regarding the danger of football. Facts and figures will be secured by Coach Clyde Williams of Ames, Coach John L. Griffith of Drake and Coach John G. Griffith of Iowa which will show the actual tabulation of real bona fide injuries on the gridiron during the last few years. The advocates who demand that football should be abolished are not popular in this state, and the recent action Of the University of Kansas regents met with a storm of disapproval not only from the three members of the Missouri valley conference in Iowa, but also from the many smaller institutions. Footbal enthusiasts here advance the arguments that so many of the injuries reported in the newspapers are not accurate. They pofnt to the fact that many "doped" articles are sent out from, football camps each fall with fake injuries calculated to fool opposing elevens. These "broken bones" and "sprains" devised by the wily coaches are responsible for the long lists, according to local believers in the gridiron game.

SAYS THE GAME HAS APPENDICITIS

Old Harvard Star Hails Forward Pass as Useless. New Tork, Feb. 9. Football has appendicitis, according to Robert P. Kernan, who is his undergraduate days at Harvard was selected as an Ail-American full back. Here is his diagnosis: "The football rules committee is a board of surgeons. Its patient, football, has acute apendlctis, and the forward pass is the diseased vermiform appendix, totally useless and highly dangerous. "But because the game needs a surgical operation there Is no need to cut off its head. The disease can easily be cured by "an operation which goes to the root of the malady and eradicates it. "I believe ..that if. the . fourten surgeons who , are now working on the patient will but return to the game which we had in 1893 and 1899, with those modifications needed because the defense is 'so much better played today than it used to be, the sufferer will be cured. The present tandCm and the onslde kick must go with the forward pass. ' "All In all, I think the progress toward proper and adequate football reform is now well under way and the public will have no fears but that the game, as -it is finally evolved by the committee, will be all it should be. At any rate. It ought to be given a year's practical trial by the big teams before the public attempts to coma to a final decision."

JOHNSON CASE IS HELD OVER Justice Goff Asks That Suit Be Put on March Docket. New Tork, Feb. 9. Jack Johnson isn't to be tried for alelged assault on Norman Pindar, another negro, Jan. 20, quite as soon as he had expected. A few days ago Assistant District Attorney Moss had the indictment against Johnson transferred from general sessions to the criminal branch of the supreme court on the ground that the case could be brought to trial sooner. When Justice Goff reached the case today Mr. Moss announced that he had changed his mind and he now asked that it be sent over to the March calendar, - inasmuch as he was burdened with some important homicide cases and had no time to prepare the prosecution of the black prize fighter. It will probably he next month or the month after before Johnson has a chance to see how good his defense is.
