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. Hi- is s.> confident
that he will maintain his prestige In

Weakness on Bases and in

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. Smith played
in big league fashion for the picked
team. The score:

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.

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

Proving the Hero of Ex.
citing Contest
Threatening weather conditions did
not interfere with the Long Beach-
Qardena game at Gardena yesterday,
and the home club won from the vis
itors by. the score of 2 to 1. 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. The score:

WON BY DOUGLAS
MAKES HIGHEST SCORE WITH
REVOLVIR
RETAINS SILVER CUP WON BY
HIM LAST YEAR
Contest Conducted at Indoor Range
of Los Angeles Revolver Club,
Which Is Lighted Ar.
tlflelally
The annual shoot of the Loa An
geles Revolver dull was held lust week
on tin- [ndooi runse of the club at
tig South Olive street. To the num
ber making the highest score In this
contest is. awarded the Eloegee silver
cup and a solid gold medal. To tho
next highest is awarded a silver medal
and to the third a bronze trophy. The
shout is hold in January of each year,
the winner holding the cups until thu
following ranuary, when it is contest
id for again.
A. H. Douglas bored out a score of
434 out of a possible 500, winning thu
cup for the year 1910 and also a gold
medal. 1. C. Douglas was next with :i
score of 4:13, Winning tin: silver medal,
and Carl Schroeder landed third place
and wag awarded the bronze medal.
The shoot was quite a success, as
thirteen of the members took part.
The conditions were fifty shots per
man at twenty yards. United States
Revolver association rules governing
matches A or H, the pistol or revolve!
being used on an equal footing as the
.-hooter preferred.
A. B. Douglas, the winner, used a
22-callbre pistol with ten-inch barrel,
the arm being made to order accord-
Ing to his own idea. I. <'. Douglas
Shot the same model of arm.
Carl Schroder, a local gunsmith, shot
a 22-callbre pistol -with a barrel which
he rifled himself, and had he luid more
experience with the arm he undoubt
edly would have given young Douglas
a close run for the trophy. Of thß
others who took part, Thaxter W. E.
.Smith, Slefert, A. M. Smith and Rich
ardson lined 88-calibre revolvers and
hand-loaded ammunition. "Will A.
Wright used his J2 made-over Colt re
volver and landed twelth place. His
smokeless ammunition and revolver
did not seem to harmonize, as quite b
nifmber of his shots key-holed through
the target. C. li. Hubba of the South
ern California miles, did exceeding
ly well in his first three scores, but
did not hold up at the finish owing to
Inexperience at the revolver game. Had
he become more accustomed to shoot -
ing- by artificial lisht he very likely
would have landed second place.
J. B. Holromb started out to beat
Thaxter'a score of 411 and undoubted
ly would! have done so only he fortu
nately strained his gun just before
starting his last string, landing him
live- points behind Thaxter, it. J.
Frazer shot his scores last evening,
which brought the contest to a close.
Others who used the .22 pistol were
HubbS, Holeomb, Packard and Fra
zer.
