Tonopah, Nev., Dec. 24.—Kid Hei man,, in discussing the coming battle Willi Joe Gans, dropped a few 'hiut-s *f his plan of battle, which indicates that he has already mapped out a course by which he believes he can beat the mighty colored fighter from Baltimore. "I know I can keep away from Joe Gans for at least 20 rounds," said the little champion fighter of Chicago, "and from my past experience I be lieve it is safe for me to say that dur ing that period ,loe will not lay a glove on me so that it will hurt, in these 20 rounds I will keep Gans oa the go every minute of the time, and by that time I believe he will be leg weary. "Gans has not trained as hard for this bout as he should. He thinks he is going to 'have easy picking when he meets me. He has sized up my stat ure and reach and thinks I will be as easy as knocking persimmons off a tree. Well, I believe I can fool him. Herrera couldn't lay a glove on me in the whole 20 rounds we fought in Los Angeles. The only blow Herrera land ed that hurt me was on top of my head. Gans is not as hard a hitter as Herrera. Everybody tells me that and I don't see that Joe can hurt me." WINNER TAKE ALL. Champion Conies Out of Retirement to Take Big Share of Purse. AaMdated Presa to The Brnlii Time*. Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 24.—"I have come out of retirement and will fight once more. The only thing that has brought me out is the {50,000 purse. I know I can get the money hung up for a finish mill and am going after it. One thing I want understood at the stand is that when the fight is over 1 will have almost all the purse. No matter who fight I want most of that $50,000, and if I can get the other fel low to stand for a bout on a winner take all basis it will suit me down to ground." The above statement was made by Champion Jim Jeffries when talking about his return to the ring. The big fellow undoubtedly meant every word of it. He is sick of fighting and the ring and were it not for the enormous purse offered he would never leave his burbank farm. But $50,000 is a big bunch of money and if Jefferies can force his opponent to agree to let the victor take all he will be perfectly satisfied. KEFEBEE OF MILL. Manager of Gans-Herman Fight Mar Select Walsh as the Third Man. &Mocl*ted Premt to The Evening Time*. Tonopah, Nev., Dec. 24—There is a new mixup in ihe question of referee for the Gans-Herman fight. Manager Riley of the Casino club has become wrathful at Jim Jefferies, who was his choice for third man in the ring, and it looks as tho there would have to be a new arrangement. Lewis, Herman's manager, is elated over the prospect, as he sees another chance to get the job for Siler. Riley wired Jeff six weeks ago that he was slated for the job, but the boilermaker did not see fit to reply, so Riley says that it must be someone else. As it looks now, it seems more than possible that Jack Welch of San Fran cisco will be the man, as Riley appears to be inclined that way, and from the articles what Riley says goes. ODEA MAY GO.
