THE HERALD'S SPORTING NEWS
CONLEY RULES FAVORITE TO WIN
FROM ATTELL IN BANTAM BATTLE
BETTING SPORTS DO NOT KNOW WHICH WAY TO JUMP AND
MAKE ODDS RATHER SHORT
Figuring Dope Only, Early Bettors Select Conqueror of Danny
Webster to Do as Well Against San Francisco Boxer as Local
Boy Has Done and Wagering Has Started Early with Only
Slight Difference in Odds Offered —Condition of Danny
When He Fought Kenosha Kid Taken Into Consid
eration in Making Figures—Both Boys Train
ing as Becomes Championship Aspirants
JAY DAVIDSON
Although local bettinsr sports have really no lino upon the ability of
Frankle Conley a3 a lighter, beyond the fact that he decisively whipped
Danny Webster, they are making him a slight favorite over Monte At
tell, whom Webster trimmed once and drew with two other times. It all
Is "dope" on which they are figuring-, being a question of shooting In tho
dark for the most part, as Conley looks like a rank ln-and-outer if the
only two flg-hts ho has fought on th« coast are to be considered. Bet
ting haa not adjusted itself yet tor this very reason and until the fans
are able to see more of Conley they will not be very quick to make him
a bearcatcher In the odds. Attell is not at all disturbed by the show-
Ing made by Conley in his Port&ind fight with Webster, being impressed
more by the fart that Danny was out of condition and had not trained
at all for that fight, a very careless thing to do, yet a fair line is ob
tained therefrom upon the abilities of Conley as a lighter.
It is being argued that inasmuch as Webster whipped Attell once
and fought him to two draws afterwards, his losing fight with Conley,
■without training or any kind of preparation, does not count quite as high
ly In the batting averages of the three boys as the bare results might
show. There are few faus, if the truth were told, who really believe that
Conley can whip Webster when the latter trains properly for a fight and
is at his best. Arguing, however, that Conley and Webster are about even
up in fighting ability, the natural conclusion is that Attell, with his very
different and probably more effective style of milling against a close
fighter of the Conley type, will prove an awful tough customer to handle.
This explains the short odds that are offered in the opening betting.
Visitors to both camps come away wiUi good reports regarding the
condition of the fighters, but invariably bring the story that Attell Ik
developing speed that would make a drunketn chauffeur sick with envy,
while saying that Conley can hit harder than Jeffries ever dared to hope
to be able to do. It is not unlikely that this will he a fair reproduction
of the Memsle-Powell mutch, with a clever boxer matched against a tough
and hard-hitting tighter, but inasmuch as a referee will give the d> \i
sion at ringside, there probably will be less dissatisfaction as to the result.
At any rate, Conley will get a tougher tryout in a forty-five-round scrap
with a clever puncher like Attell than he would figure to have with a
swinging slugger like Webster.
Conley is training in a manner that assures that ha will go into the ring
In first-class condition, tit to fight his best battle, and now that he has won
the technical honors in his division lie will attempt not only to hold them,
but to emphasize them. Attell realizes also that this is a golden opportunity
for him to Join Brother Aba in the select circle, where disputes are not al
lowed, and he will b« ready to do or die in the attempt at doing. It will bo
a dandy scrap, and as Attell is so confident of the effect of his punch that
he predicts he will win In less than twenty-five rounds, it looks like there
might be a real fight on the boards.
Definite news regarding the plans of Jeffries for the near future, are ex
pected today. Jack Kipper, his partner In business and especial pal, met
him in San Francisco last evening- and will taUk with him regarding the
plans of tho retired and unbeaten champion for the next three or four months.
L'pon arriving at a decision local fans will be advised definitely by Kipper.
It is known that Jeffries desires to avoid all formality and annoyance that
may be desired by his friends in giving him a weVcome home. Ho is a bashful
kind, and awfully weary of adulation and attention. If Kipper can convince
him that lie will be able to get along for a few days without having to answer
half a dozen or more foolish question a every day during his stay at home,
Jeff will come home like any other returning tourist. Otherwise, he will slip
in and out in a hurry, and it will be difficult to find the overgrown kid until
he has returned from his hunting trip to Mexico. It may as well be under
stood now as at any other time that Jeff wants to be let alone and given an
opportunity to rest after he gets home. If he cannot get it without
sneaking home, he will do the porch-climbing act a.nd get In without being
seen. Otherwise the fans will have a chance to gloaC over his fine appearance
and figure form from first sight.

I CONSIDERABLE interest In billiard*
I ! and pool has been aroused by the
'-' announcement made yesterday by
Jee'ms Jltjrley that he has arranged
with Alfredo DeOro, the former three
cushion billiard and pool champion of
the world, for an exhibition series of
games beginning Monday night at tho
Spring street parlors. DeOro unques
tionably is one of the greatest three
cushion billiard players in the world,
having held the championship for a
long time, and his long tenure in office
as the premier pool player, extending
over fifteen or more years, indicates
that he knows something about this
I popular game. Ho will play Billy
ISpUIkS, Arthur Seymour, Walter John
son and Jim ollrley at three-cushion
i billiards, and will give exhibitions of
I pool playing each night. To see the
! champion in action will be a rare treat
for the many billiard and pool players
of Los Angeles, and undoubtedly tho
exhibitions will attract large crowds.
Pasadena citizens propose to have
some racing events to feature their
' "Washington's birthday program at
I Tournament park, and it is assured
' that these will be- pf the first class, as
the Crown city residents know how to
do things right once they start. :, The
Tournament of Hoses chariot contests
have always been as exciting, as any
thing staged in this vicinity, so what
ever the Pasadenans frame up is sure
to meet with the approval of all whose
blood gushes at the right moment. . ■

tion of Phil Brock came nearer to

but to all he turns a deaf ear. "Cap" is
busily engaged in handling the business
interests connected with the East Side

call of the squared circle, with the ex
ception of boosting George Memsic into

JEFF IS SUED
GRASS VALLEY, Feb. 17.—Suit to
recover $6000 on two promissory notes
was begun against James J. Jeffries
today by Charles J. Miller and ChmrlM
A Siout, who conduct a gambling hall
in Reno, Nev. It Is understood the two
notes cover a gambling debt contracted
by Jeffries after the Hoot-Hart fight in
Keno, which he refereed. Jeffries lias
demanded a trial by Jury.
firm whose attention has been at
tracted by the local boy's sweetly mod
ulated tenor notes. Mr. Kellam prefers
tho routino of business to the glare of
the footlights, but should lie ever have
occasion to do fo. it is certain that the
dulcet tones which emanate from his
vocnl organs when he Is lined up In
front«bf a piano are sure to make one
big hit. Bert has also been approached
by several local Impresarios, but to all
he returns the same answer of "noth
ing doing."
Manager McCarey- of the local fight
club is hurrying improvements upon
the Jeffries arena at Vornon. in prepa
ration for the bantam championship
battle next Tuesday between Monte
Attell and Frankle Conley. Owing to
the fact that the arena has not been
used for several months, many repairs
were needed, and McCarey has attend
ed to these. Tho old place will look
very familiar next Tuesday afternoon,
and it is expected there will bo one of
the biggest light crowds that ever at
tended a local scrap on hand when the
gong sends these great little bantams
after the change and tho honors.
Pop Coulon comes through with a
nice letter from New Orleans in which
he states that Jimmy Austin should
have had a draw with the local favor
ite In their last fight in that city, but
he adds that Jimmy is much to blame
for failing to make good because ho
failed to train for tho tight. Jimmy
only had a few days in which to work,
and he shirked the job through over
confidence. With proper training, Jim
my could whip all the boys of his class,
but he will nut work right. Coulon
says that his orackerjack little claim
ant to the bantam title, notwithstand
ing his light weight, is ready to whip
anything that McCarey may have to
offer, and suggests that the local pro
moter make an offer for him to come
here. Johnny is one of the greatest
little fighting machines in the world,
and his only appearance here, when he
easily disposed of any championship
aspirations that Young McOovern
might have had, was so impressive that
he would be assured of a lull house
any time he might be carded. He is
a. bit too light even for the bantam di
vision, however, and it is probable that
his dreams of bantam honors must wait
until he haa taken on a few more
pounds. _^___^^_______

HESTER FOLLOWS SUIT
IN ASKING INSURANCE
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.—Sid Hes
ter, promoter of tho Nelson-Wolgast
fight, has applied to the Lloyds of Lon
don for $30,000 insurance against rain
on February 22. The new arena which
Hester is building at Richmond, across
the bay, Is a roofless structure and ho
is taking no chances of a wet day's
slim attendance.
Baron Long, always remembered as
one of the best fellows who ever walked
the local Rialto, was the originator of
the insurance against the rain gag.
When ho was running the Jeffries Ath
letic club Long and his "publicity pro
moter" conceived the jdea of getting a
little free advertising for the Weish-
Attell scrap by claiming they were
after insurance against the actions of
one J. Pluvius. Of course the wise duo
did not intend spending any money
with Lloyds, or any other insurance
concern, but they got the publicity just
tl}e same, thus beating Sid Hester and
the so-called original Frisco bunch to
the gag.
M'CORMICKS WIN FROM
PASADENA CUE EXPERTS
Jim McCormiek's pool sharks came
back strong last evening in their re
turn match with Joe Judge's team of
Crown City experts and defeated them
by the score of 369 to 256. This makes
it a win apiece, and it Is expected
the final series of the tournament will
bring together a record attendance of
those who follow the cue game. Aa
yet it has not been decided whether
the final series will be played In He-
Cormick's pool hall or at Judge's par
lors in Pasadena.
MURPHY IN FRISCO
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17.—Harlem
Tommy Murphy, who is matched to

SILLY WRANGLE
IN BIG LEAGUE
NATIONAL MAGNATES AGAIN
UNABLE TO AGREE
DREYFUS DECLARES DIRECTORS
ARE LIKE CHORUS GIRLS
Voting Over Long or Short Schedula
Results in Deadlock Which
Voters Are Unable
to Break
[Associated PressJ
NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-After four
days of endeavor. National league
magnates were unable tonight to adopt
a schedule for the coming season and
adjourned until tomorrow.
Up to nightfall Horace Fogel, presi
dent of the Philadelphia club, was
confined to his room, ostensibly suf
fering with gout, but at 9 o'clock he
quietly left the Waldorf-Astoria,
climbed Into a taxloab and was oft,
presumably for Philadelphia.
All -neck the magnates have been
waiting for Fogel before acting on
the claim of William J. Murray, for
mer manager of the Philadelphia club,
who asserts he was deposed when hU
contract had two years to run. Fogel's
departure forestalls any action.
With Fogei In his room, Stanley
Kobison of St. Louis ill in bed and
C. H. Ebbetts of Brooklyn also on tho
sick list, the adjourned meeting of tho
magnates, which was to have been
called at 2 o'clock, did not get to
gether until 4 o'clock. Ebbetts by
that time was able to attend, but it
was somewhat of a gathering of in
valids, for John T. Brush of New-
York also wns allfng and had to bo
assisted to the meeting.
Only one vote on the question of
adopting the long schedule of 168
games or the shorter schedule of 154
aames was taken. With the proxies of
Fogel and Robison held by Ebbetts
and Murphy, it was announced the
vote of yesterday was unchanged-
Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Boston fa
voring the short schedule and tho
others holding out for the long list.
Heated arguments arose over tho
fact that both schedules assign six
conflicting dates to St. Louis and two
to Chicago. Both Robison and Murphy
insist there must be a change.
This complicates matters, so that It
looks like a hopeless deadlock, with a^
possibility that the magnates may ad
journ tomorrow for two weeks with
the hope of effecting a settlement.
Dreyfus Is Discouraged
Barney Dreyfuss is utterly discour
aged. He had intended leaving for
Plttsburg tonight and it is probablo
he will go in the morning.
Fogel's hasty departure for Philn
delphia tonight came after four days
of virtual imprisonment in his room.
If he had appeared at the league meet
ing the magnates would have properly
felt duty bound to consider Murray's
$15,000 claim. But as it is their desire
and Fogol's to test the matter prefer
ably in a civil, court, his attitude is
explained.
Murray has been in continuous at
tendance at all meetings, hoping to
have his case heard. Fogel caused
much amusement today by sending
down from his room a story that ho
had purchased an elephant for $16,000
to do the work of twenty horse* in
covering the diamond with canvas.
When President Murphy of Chicago
heard today that the American league
has voted a salary of $25,000 a year
to Ban Johnson, he said:
"That's pretty hot press agent work."
Dreyfus said tonight that the Na
tional league magnates were acting
like "a lot of Jealous chorus girls,"
that it was "one grand light ovr
trivial matters." and that he was go
ing home to attend to more Important
business.
President Lynch said tonight that
he thought after this season, the na
tional commission would pass upon
tho schedules, arranging dates that
would work automatically in alter
years.
