RICKARD SAYS BIG FIGHT WILL BE DECIDED If! SAN FRANCISCO

Promoter Declares There Will Be No Further Switching of the Plans for July 4 Go.

San Francisco, Jlay 19. As near as anything can be confirmed when official action i8 yet to be taken, the news of the switching of the Jeffries Johnson fight from Emeryville to San Francisco was confirmed today. Supervisor John I Herget, who, under the name of "Young Mitchell," was one of San Francisco's pet pugilists in years gone by, said he understood arrangements 'had been made for the transfer of the July permit from Griffin, to Gleason and Rickard.w Herget is chairman of the police committee which has to do with the recommending of permits. The board of city fathers subsequently indorses or denies the recommendations of the , police committee, and as matters stand, Herget is naturally averse to being considered the last word in the connection. His manner Indicated that he felt sure the promoters would encounter no obstacles when the supervisors meet next Monday. There are' eighteen supervisors and it is said that five of them are opposed to boxing. They were not that way all the time, as far as can be learned and for that matter, the stand they take is merely a feeble protest, as the other thirteen votes are sufficient to launch any praiseworthy pug. llistio venture. It is said that m the case of John "Will Hammond's whirlwind aggregation be able to win their third straight victory by defeating the Tom Murray serai-pro nine from Chicago next Sunday? Is the puzzling question that is worrying the loyal fans of this city. Hammond has been successful in their first two attempts to down the semi-pro. teams who ventured out from Chicago, but the Tom Murrays team is even better than either the All Stars or the All Chicago nines whowere defeated by the local aggregation and the coming attraction premises to be the most exciting gama played at the Hammond Athletic Association grounds thus far this season. Although the team scheduled to appear next Sunday is a more experienced bunch of players than the local boys, the Hammond team Is prepared for such occasions and at the rate the team has been going previous to the coming contest a victory is looked for. Pollard, the local hurler, will attempt to hand the Tom Murrays some of the same dope that has been served to the other teams and it is probable that his subscription list will be padded considerably. PFIESTER SAVES CUBS 1WITH SMTJfi TENTH Left Hander Delivers Hit Needed to Tumble Dodgers in Opener, 3 to 2. Picture Mr. Pflester as the demon game buster. It's a sketch few artists can paint, but Jack provided the setting yesterday with a rousing smack In the tenth round, beating the trollty dodgers, '3 ao 2, after a bruising hand-to-hand encounter with an angular right hander entitled Barger. Raggejl lef)t fleldlsg by Mr. Wheat aided and abetted in the victory, which shoved the cubs back Into , hecond Lclace. T)flhlfn, tanrle'htlv n.th7Aris ihrm1rt have taken the game after squaring away to a two-run margin in the second inning, and until the lecky eleventh it looked like a knockout for the west siders. Both Pflester and Barger hal traveed at top speed cp tl this point, four clustered wallops netting the hos. tiles both runs in the second, and loose fielding tossing one tally into the local column in the fourth. With Barger pitching in whirlwind style the cubs seemed powerless as the melee progressed, but the witching seventh ran true to form. In this round Wheat, former great of the Southern league, ' gave what Is said to be 'the most spectacular and at the same time one of the wooziest exhibitions of outflelding ever seen on the local patch. After twin hair-raising catches to start the inning.

son and Jeffries two of the rebellious five "will vote for the issuance of the permit and Its transfer to Rickard. In doing so they feel that they will not be suspected of having abandned their position in reference to boxing matches generally. They think the heavyweight championship affair one bout in a million, and that it ought to be encouraged. When it is over and the next permit comes up for action they will vote on the negative side harder than ever.. It is easy to be seen that the sporting part of San Francisco Is exulting over the- change of venue in the Jeffries-Johnson trial. But it is different oh, so different, over in the little burg of Emeryville. The mayor of the incorporated town which serves as a setting for the Emeryville track -was over on this side of the 'bay this morn, ing to register a protest with Tex Rickard against being deprived -of the satisfaction of housing the fight crowd. It is understood, too, that many of the business men In adjacent towns across the bay are lamenting the fact that the fight is to take place In San Francisco. Rickard said this morning that he was satisfied that all his plans

' were in shape and nothing could induce him to make another switch. This is the first year that Hammond has been able to boast of having a good team. Manager Ketchell has worked hard to gettogether the best bunch of ball players In the region and he has certainly been successful. With an infield that is as close to being perfect as any of the semi-pro. nines and with three in the outfield that can cover the ground better than the spreading . of a canvass. It Is ot very probaMe thatfAns6 team from Chioago will win many laurels from the local nine, unless they should solve the ball pitched by Pollard and send It over the fence. ' But even then the locals have another one that can be depended upon to do his duty on the slab. A large crowd atteded the game last Sunday and a much bigger one Is expected at the next garac. The people of Hammond are beginning to realize that the local aggregation is Just capable of putting up a game as good as can be seen in Chicago. Game will be called at 3 p. m. sharp.

To see this man work in a game is worth the price of admission together with the car fare to Elkhart. The new Gary recruit is looked for to perform great stunts In the twirling lino also. Another twirler secured by Gary Is Brltton a speedy man who has been employed in the steel mills for some time past. The line-up of the team which win face Elkhart Sunday Is as folloks: .

Philadelphia, May 19-Two wild throws made by Billy Purtell and Ed Walsh gave the Athletics another victory over the white sox, making it four straight defeats and the thirteenth consecutive victory for the Philadelphia team. The score was 4 to 2 in favor of the Mack men and the four runs made by the winners were the fesul. of the two wild heaves. .Thxge other members of the sox made errors, but they were not expensive ones. Only one error was charged up to the locals. Ed Walsh and Cy Morgan were the opposing pitchers. It was a pretty even thing in the pitching lines. Seven hits were made off Walsh and six off Morgan. Walsh let three men get to bases on balls and Morgan gave one pass and then made" two wild pitches, which let in one of the two runs ecored by the visitors.

The light is of more than usual importance, 'as the winner will be given a chance to wrest the middleweight championship from Stanley Ietchel. Both men are in the best possible condition, and while the Illinois thunderbolt continues a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting, there are many who believe Thomas has a chance to take his measure.

5 I Winner of Shoot for Smith Gun Cupq ' 1 CD By killing twenty-five birds straight Jay Graham of Long Lake, III., yesterday won the L. C. Smith cup, which, is one of the important events of the Illinois state sportsmen's tournament now being held under the auspices of the Chicago Gun Club at the club traps. The contest was a handicap affair and the gunners shot at twenty-five clay targets from distances ranging from eighteen to twenty-two yards. The competitors were allowed the use of both barrels and the winner of'the trophy is proclaimed two-shot champion of the state. Graham, who is one of the best shots in the country, hit every ' clay bird with surprising accuracy and was one of the few shooters who was not bothered by '"freaky" air currents, which caused the targets to fly ln every direction. The Cincinnati Reds are playing good ball and should be able to squeeee into the first division by the time they start on their first Eastern trip. Many Women who arc Splendid Cooks dread having to prepare an elaborate dinner because they are not sufficiently strong to stand over an intensely hot coal range. This is especially true in summer. Every woman takes pride in the table she sets, but often it is done at tremendous cost to her own vitality through the weakening effect of cooking on a coal range in a hot kitchen. It is no longer necessary to wear yourself out preparing a fine dinner. Even in the heat of summer you can cook a large dinner without being 'worn out. n wrv 7t WilA 6 TvTj minutes tfll It fir o-ts trntrttr. Annlir the wick up or down you get a slow or an
