6 THE HERALD'S SPORTING NEWS HESTER FACES SHOWDOWN TODAY AND MUST MAKE GOOD OR SHUT UP HIS LAST REMAINING HOPE DEPENDS UPON ACTION OF SAN MATEO COUNTY SUPERVISORS Turned Down in San Francisco, He Asks for Permit to Hold Nel son-Wolgast Fight Outside, and His Application Will Be Passed Upon This Afternoon —Failure Again Means That Championship Scrap Will Revert to McCarey—Webster Favorite Over O'Connell at Odds of Ten to Eight BY JAY DAVIDSON 11 ODAY will settle the fate of the rival promoters who are try ing to bring Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast together in a - lightweight championship scrap. The board of supervisors, of San Mateo county will act upon the application of Sid Hester for a permit to conduct a forty-five-round fight in their jurisdiction, and if that action is favorable Hester will get the fight —if he really wants it. If that action is unfavorable, Hester will be eliminated if from the ranks of California fight promoters unless he can find a county where he can get a permit. The San Francisco board already has turned him down cold and his last remaining hope W dependent upon the action of the San Mateo county board today. Judging from the expressions "f the sporting writers of Frisco regarding Hester's prospects for getting a permit, 2ii — last remaining hope is hanging by ;i decidely slender thread. Few pro fess to believe that he will be any more successful in the country than he was in the city. Believing that he is up against it probably is tin- ex planation for the continued delay he lias occasioned in depositing his for feit to pull off the tight. He hardly oould be expected to wield a greater influence in Ofc country than in the city where hiPUves and desires to do business. He will have no kick coming, low ever, if he is turned down. He has attempted to bring about a breach of j contract between the fighters and Tom McCarey by intermeddling in an affair that all decency and good sportsman ship would have dictated to him to let alone. After McCarey had dosed the match it was up to Hester and I all other promoters to keep hands oft. But Hester did no such thing and al most succeeded in breaking- up the match. Nelson has stuck by him m a mnn ner that shows lie once bad faith in the promoter and 'ie will stick by Hes ter until it is assured that th.- Frisco promoter cannot pull off the fight. For the reason that lie wants to give Hes ter every opportunity to make .good. Nelson has refusi a to reopen negotia tions with McCarey until Hester fails. In the event that Hester is turned down again today, Nelson will accept the McCarey proposition and fight Wolgast at Vernon. Webster Is Giving Odds Danny Webster, who will give Curly O'Connell ten rounds in which to win the bantam championship Tuesday night is not at all alarmed about the big chance he is taking with this classy little comer.

It is not to be denied that O'Connell lias many backers in this fight and that he has shown good enough form to rank at these odds. That it will be no one-sided affair is admitted in all quarters, even though Webster natur ally is expected to rule favorite ow ing to his longer experience and the great form he has been .showins In all his fights in the last year. Both boys will \\ md up their training to day and each will go into the ring in I erfei t condition.

Cameron believes he will trim the Mexican and is train ing like lie- was about to fight (or a championship.

SAVE GAME BY FAST FIELDING PICKED TEAM OUTBATTED BUT UNDEFEATED Trilbys There with Stickwork, but Weakness on Bases and in Field Prevents Them From Winning A picked team from the City league yesterday afternoon played a - to 2 eight-inning tie game with the Trilby colored team on the Mace park diamond before a fair attendance. The game was called on account of darkness by Umpire Harris much to the disappoint ment of all present. The white lads put up an excellent game, the feature of which was the playing of the picked team. Molly sent the sphere to the score board in the first, and later stole home. B. Webb for the Trllbys scored the first run for his club In the first of the second inning by Nelson on first base, misjudging the play. In the last half of this inning the black boys had three men on the bags, but failed to score. Tom Plna, who went on the mound for the City league team, twirled excellent ball and assisted in a double play. Again the colored boys had the bases full in the sixth inning and failed to score. H.

LOS ANGELES TIEKALI): MONDAY MOHMM.. JANTAKY IT, 1010- RIALTO GOSSIP Jay Davidson HARNESS HORSEMEN In Cali fornia are going to organise a state association and establish m state racing circuit on plans slightly less pretentious than the grand cir cuit. They also propose to go to the m \i legislature and »sk for some new laws to help along the cause of the standard bred horse. Among these new laws to be asked for will be an ait permitting parl-mutuel speculation and auction pools. In order to gel this last named act they will have to co-operate with the running turf .if the state, in all probability, ami then it is an open question as to whether the ait will find favor with the solons. About eighteen months ago, when the sijnis of the times nitely indicated that ihe day of the bookmaker was passing at a last rate, not only in California, but all over America,*! pointed out repeatedly that the only salvation of the running tun was to he found in the voluntary abol ishment of the Iniquitous ami unfair bookmaking system and the sub stitution of the parl-mutuel system. Had this been done it is doubtful IC the Walker-Otis bill ever Would have passed the house or senate Now that the harness and running horsemen are forced to accept some substitute for bookmaking, they are turning to the mutuel system as a last resort and find that success win be materially more difficult to attain than would have befn the ease had they used or dinary foresight and forestalled the present necessity by accepting iho in evitable. Whether the people f California will be content to accept a compro mise now when they have won the battle against racetrack gambling Is seriously to be doubted. There are arguments in favor of the mutuel system, however, that might have bei n effective as a compromise when the antl-bookmaklng bills were up for passage. The chief and most effective argument in favor of the mutuel sys tem if turf speculation is to be per mitted, is the absolute fairness by which the system works. The mutuel system returns nr> per cent of all money in t with the machines, retaining only :, per cent as commission for holding stakes. There is no chance to lay up a horse in the machines, as is done every day on tracks where bookmakers operate. A horseman has no Induce ment to "qualify" or pull a hois order to prt a price, as his chief assel will in- his own private information regarding the fitness of his horse and its ability to beat the field opposed to it. The'machines are locked at post time, and there is no chance to cheat where this rule Is followed. The mutuel system is the fairest and most satisfactory system ever used in bet ting upon races, and the turf began to lose caste the moment i^ was dis carded in favor of bookmaking. Oral 1), tting never will iiuite fill the hill so far as the public is concerned, but if the mutuel system is adopted at tandance records will quickly get ha k t" old-time marks and racing again will become profitable to the pro moters nnd thoroughbred horseflesh again will touch the topnoteh prices of two years ago. when fortunes were tied up in a single horse. All sports must be kept clean and free of taint in every particular, otherwise, it becomes a game Instead. Bookmaking as a system of betting on race results is all wrong, and al ways was so. It never can be right, because the bookmaker has too groal B percentage In his favor and against the public that supports him. As long as bookmaking is endured racing cliii- Jiot be kept clean, nor can it rightly be termed a sport. Under the mutual system even bush meeting! would 1" run upon clean and honest lines in be termed a sport. Under the mutuel mutuel system racing- again would be come a sport and a high-class pastime that all classes Of people would enjoj and patronize because it would not be the gambling device that bookmaking has made it in this day. Harness racing is bound to become as popular in the west as it always has been In the east, it is a high class spurt and standard bred horses from the west arc winning laurels and money at every grand circuit meet ing. There is no valid reason to of fer why an equally grand circuit could not be formed in the west that would be a serious rival of the east. A circuit that would include L OS Angeles.

Al Kaufmann and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien are to travel the six round no-declsion route Wednesday night before the National club of the Bleepy city. O'Brien Is going buck and Kaufmann has been standing still for many months, so the remilt might doubtful if it was not for the well known speed and cleverness of O'Brien and the brief route they will travel. Kaufmann is no .six-round (isl'ter and has little chance to win unless O'Brien lias gone to pieces. Sacramento will be strengthened this season by two pitchers that the club gets from the Boston Americans. Kripp will endeavor to have his Sen ators in the running at all times dur ing the playing season and, as CaJ Ewlng says the Seals will lie materi ally stronger than they were last sea son, it looks like the. Coast league pennant race will be a corker from start to finish. Hen Berry and Cap Dillon promise another pennant, win ning team for Los Angeles, while Hup Hogan is aggregating a team that will be materially stronger than last year. Altogether it looks like a big season anda more evenly balanced race than ever before in Coast league history. Criger, the new pitcher that Berry has signed for the Angels, is a brother of the famous Lou Criger, battery partner with old Cy Young for many years. Criger, the pitcher, was the leading twlrler of the South Atlantic league last season, winning twenty-two in twenty-nine games that ho pitched. He was secured from the Jackson ville, Fla., team. The one match in billiards these days is about arranged. Willie Iloppe and Calvin Demarest, the youngsters in billiards, will play for the world championship at balk line at Eddie Graney'a parlors in Frisco in the spring and this match will attract the attention of the world. Demarest is said to be unbeatable, while Hoppe never has been extended to any ex tent. It will be a battle of young giants of the green cloth and as they will piny for a $3000 ride bet and the championship trophy that Graney will present to the winners, it will be worth seeing. C'line, De Oro and Mornlngstar also will play at Frisco during the spring and summer. Schilling rode four winners last Thursday at Emeryville and seems to be getting back to his great form of last winter. lie had been out of the saddle for so long previous to the Juarez meeting that he lost some of liis cunning, but a few weeks work put him right again and he will be hard to beat from now on. He re turned Saturday to Juarez with Bed well, for whom he will ride until the metropolitan season opens, when he will report to Hildreth. He should have the best season of his career next summer, as Hildreth has a stable that ranks no worse than second best in the country, if not the best. Complaints are being mad'? by horse men and the public at Jacksonville that Piirly Hrown is out of form at tho barrler. if Brown only knew It, he has the greatest starter in the business working as paddock judge at his meet ing. William M. Murray has no peer In the business, Mars Cassldy, Dick Dwyer and Jake Holtman not barred. ANGEL CATCHER TO REPORT TO CHICAGO Frank Chance Notifies Orendorff That Cubs Will Use Him Through. out the Season of 1910 Frank Chance lias notified Jo.sk Orendorff, the crack Angel receiver, that he will be expected to report to him iit Chicago for spring training. This means that all hope of retain iiiK < ii-fiidorff in I,os Angeles i.s gone and that Berry and Dillon must make their arrangements accordingly. Berry lias been dickering with | i nance for a long time regarding the I proposition of retaining Oremlorff at Last one more year, but Chance in sisted that he be given an option on the Angel team for its best player next year In return for the release of Orendorff and there is where they locked horns. Thorsen is rated as an SSOOO beauty and Berry knew what Chance was after when he made the proposition! (irendorfl will not be a bench-warmer ai Chicago if Chance does not find a better catcher in his list of recruits. He thinks well of the Angel catcher ami will give him every opportunity to make the regular team. That he will (In io is conceded by those who have leen him in action since he joined til. Angel band. He wanted to remain, but under the rules governing base hall he has to go.

ABLE TO FRISCO i ' With Governor Spry Against Him, Rickard Seems to Be Up Against It in Choosing Salt Lake City [Associated Tress] , SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.—A lively i controversy has been engendered be tween the two fight Impresarios -who are to handle the Jeffries-Johnson championship battle. Jack Gleason of .San Francisco and Tex Rickard of Ne vada and Utah, over the selection of the battlo ground. Just at present there is a wide dif ference between the two managers ;is to where the fight will in- staged, Riek ard has issued a flat statement that it will take place in Salt Lake City or that immediate vicinity. Gleason just as positively declares that when Jeffries and Johnson meet in the ring the meeting will he in Sait Francisco. Nothing has been heard from the fighters themselves, In this condition the situation is left dangling in mid air, and where the controversy will end is the main topic of discusison and speculation in the whole sporting world. Riekard, in his statement Issued in Salt Lake last night, charges that Gleason has not advanced one cent in the transaction thus far. although $20,000 has been posted as a forfeit guarantee of the SIIH.OOO that the two heavyweight pugilists were offered to induce them to fight. Riekard says lit- posted this money. Gleason intrenches himself behind the declaration that Hickard could not have become a partner in the enter prise if it hnd not been for the Gleason influence with Sam BergeY and Jim Jeffries. The main point in dispute between the two managers is the question of which city shall be chosen for the fight —San Francisco or Salt Lake. It ap pears that the matter has ceased to be a contest between the cities, how ever, and that it has resolved itself into a tussle for authority between Gleason nnd Rickard. The balance of power seems to be with the fighters, and the local sporting fraternity is al most unanimously of the opinion that the fight wil be held wherever it suits Jeffries. It is known that Jeffries is partial to San Francisco as a place in which to handle hie ring contests. He is a Callfornlan, and Berger, his manager, is n San Francisco man. Jack Johnson has often said that he has always been well pleased With the wav In which he was treated in San Francisco. "When all is said and done, the big fight will be held here," said Jack Qleason tonight at the Olympic club. where ho was dining. "I say 80, end it was agreed in New York that I should have the naming of the place. I don't care what Tex JUekard says about it. l know what I am talking about. 1 don't cam to get Into any controversy about this thing, but I want It distinctly understood that I am to name the place. Sam Berger will back n.e up in this matter, lie knows and Johnson and Little both know, I am content to leave it to them. They Will tell who was given authority to choose the battleground. "The lighters want to e;n to the place where the fight can bo most ad vantageously handled, and [ suos-s that before long the world will know whether that is San Francisco or Salt Lake. Jeffries will lie here In about ten days, and then we will see. "If Rickard does not care to live up to this agreement, I will take the fight off his hands. I am ready at any time to take the whole thing. I can handle this fight, and I intend to handle at least my end of it. 1 say again that if. Tex doesn't want to jo through with it the way we agreed to, I'll relieve him of any further re sponsibility. "Jeffries never would have consented to signing those articles with Rickard as one of the partners in the affair if it was not for me. Now, you know that I'm not going; to stand for Kti.kayd being the autocrat, and neither will Jeff. That will about settle the dis pute." Many sports hero are skeptical about the meaning of the controversy between Gleason and Jtt'.ckai'd. Some think it is being done to kPOp the interest in the match alive. Gleason, however, Indignantly denies this. 'Fight fans here are at a loss to explain the positive way with which r.ickard states thiT. the fight will be held in Utah, whin rjiivernor Spry of that stat« has infJ'Kl'l alt concerned tl at he will use a very means at his command to p.tven' the match being hi Id in or near Salt Lake, or any other city or town in Utah. On the contrary. Oleason has ap plied to the new ad:niiiititration in this city for a forty-five-round permit, and has been ■ assured of support In in fluential quarters. The police com mittee of the board of supervisors has given the application serious con sideration, and while action has been deferred, sporting circles are conft lent that it will be granted. It looks at present as though the next move must come from Jeffries.

Con sidering ' that four grammar school boys were in the lineup of the home guard, this was a lucky win for them, and most of the credit for the victory is due Gabe, the regular third base man, who was called upon to do the twirling. TIV6 third sacker kept the hits so well scattered that the Beach en were unable to advance men at critical times. Harry Bouett did some base running that was on the Hans Wagner order.
