6 Baseball, Racing, Boxing! CONLEY AND MORAN SIGN UP TO BOX TEN ROUNDS AT 124 POUNDS English Scrapper Finally Comes to Terms, Accepting Ultimatum of Bantam Champion That He Make 124 Pounds at 5 o'clock on Afternoon of Scrap-Both Declare Themselves Pleased with Conditions and Are Confident of Winning-Britisher Goes to Venice to Train-Memsic Showing Up Well in His Workouts and Is Winning Himself Supporters T7l RANKIE CONLEY and Owen Moran, through their managers, finally n agreed upon the weight question yesterday after several futile at ■*- tempts, and when it seemed that the match was off for good they came to an understanding and patched up their differences. They wound up by signing articles of agreement for a ten-round bout June 7 at 124 pounds at 5 ociock the evening oi the acmp- Previously Moran haii been holding vui fur 126 pounds at 6 o'clock and Conley had been insisting upon 125 pounds ring side. They finally compromised upon 124 pounds at 5 o'clock and signed articles to that effect, posting forfeits of $250 each for weight and ap pearance. So the match is on at conditions that are more satisfactory to the fans and all concerned than the original stipulations. Moran has gone to Venice and will begin training at once. His man ager, Charlie Harvey, has gone north to attend the Thomas-Papke fight, but will be back within a few days and directly supervise the training of his classy scrapper. Moran will train in the gymnasium above Short's place on Windward avenue. The necessity for reducing to 124 pounds makes his training period harder than would have been the case had he been allowed to go Into the ring at 126 pounds at 6 o'clock, but as he is able to do 122 pounds in a pinch he will not have much trouble in making the required 124 pounds at 5 o'clock. Conley, of course, being a bantam, will not find it at all difficult to make the weight, as he will go into the ring, at his best, at 120 or 121 pounds. He figures that Moran will have an ad vantage of about six or eight pounds, but believes he will be able to make a good showing against the fast and clever Englishman at the agreed weights. The fans are anxious to see Moran in action here, and there Is no bet ter opponent in sight than Frankie Conley at decent weights. When it was announced that the bantam champ was going to give away ten or twelve pounds in order to get on a good match the fans were disappointed. But, now that the weights have been arranged more nearly equal, considering all things, the match will be approved. Conley, at even weights, would figure to beat Moran in a long fight, but at a handicap it would appear as If the champion were taking too many chances. Never before has a ban tam been asked to fight a lightweight, especially when the weights were so widely apart. But, inasmuch as the bantam title is not at stake and Moran has nothing beyond his reputation as a fast and clever fighter to throw in the ring, the match does not appear so uneven as to make it un attractive. Conley is a hard nut to crack. He fights better at catchweights than when making the bantam limit, but he also is fast and to a certain extent is clever. He has a better wallop than Moran ami may make it count strongly In his favor when they meet. If he succeeds in making a good showing with Moran, whether he wins or loses, he will have added to his ring prestige, even as Abe Attell has increased his standing by whipping lightweights. It will be a fight without a parallel in ring history and may furnish some surprises. Few believe that Moran is good enough to stop Conley, but equally as few believe that the bantam champion can. give away hunks of weight and whip a fighter of the class of Moran. It will be a case of real class on both sides and should furnish a good fight all the way. Notwithstanding the excitement caused by the news that Conley and Moran wore matched, the fans yesterday afternoon continued to discuss the possibilities of the George Memslc-I,ew Powell fight that is scheduled over the twenty-five round route at Vernon next Saturday afternoon. M&mslc has shown to such good advantage in his training since he secured a post ponement of the date of the fight that the fans are warming: up to him again, and instead of looking for 2 to 1 on him, they are willing to take 10 to 8, considering the distance over which the fight is scheduled. Memsic will not go into the ring out of condition, regardless of his layoff and the Injury that forced a postponement of the fight. He is running on the road •without any ill effects and is working better than ever in the afternoons. His bouts with Willie Mack show that he is ready to measure his skill as a boxer and a stayer over a twenty-flvo-round course with most any of them and he will have many supporters at ringside. Naturally, Powell will be favorite to win. He has obtained two short decisions over Memsic, solely upon his boxing ability and speed, ami if it were to bo a ten or fifteen-round fight he probably would be hold at more one-sided odds. Over the marathon route, however, Memsic figures to have a much better chance than when trying the short route with one so olever and speedy. Powell is training for condition to go a distance, expecting to be forced to travel the full route in order to win a decision and he will be In as near perfect condition as is possible for a fighter to get. Powe.ll will make the weight with ease, as will Momsic, and both boys appear to be in such condition now that there need bo no worry regarding that detail when they meet. It looks like a question of real merit between them and with the Wolgast championship match at stake, they assuredly will put up the best fight thoy know how.

JAY DAVIDSON HOGAN WINS GAME ALL BY HIMSELF Oakland First Baseman Pounds Portland Pitcher All Over the Lot SAN FRANCISCO, May 17. —Willie Hogan was the star of the game between Oakland and Portland today at Recreation park. In four times at bat he credited himself with a three-bagger, a double and a single, eaca of which was productive of a run. He crossed the plate twice during his general assault on Gret'g. and with his faultless fielding at first had the game generally to himself. Oakland won with little trouble, i to 1.

HERALD SPORTING PAGE ANGELS BARELY ESCAPE SHUTOUT Hitt Holds Them at His Mercy Throughout Nine Innings of Play NAGLE FOUND OPPORTUNELY Scrappy Hogan's Bunch Put Up Snappy Exhibition and Start Off in Lead Vernon opened a five weeks' local stand yesterday with a 3 to 1 victory over the Angels ir. the first of c seven game series between them. Roy Hitt was on the mound for the Cutups and had the Angel swatters at his mercy throughout, even in the ninth inning, when they attempted a winning rally. H» held them down to five hits, scat tered so well that the Angelic clouters only bunched as many as two in any one Inning, the ninth. Nagle twirled for the Angels, but was found for hits at times when bingles meant runs, and a few errors thrown in helped out a heap in the triumph of the suburban outfit. Vernon began scoring in the first in ning, putting over one run. Carlisle, first man up, doubled to center and went to third on Kitty Brashear's sac rifice. Martlnke hit to Wheeler, who played tag with the ball and Carlisle scored, while Marty was safe at first. He stole second and Roy Brashear was walked, but Coy lined to Ross in right and Lindsay fanned. In the third the Cutups got another on two hits and an error. Martink© fouled to Roth, who muffed, and afterwards Marty singled to center. Roy Brashear sacrificed him a bag, Coy filed to left and Lindsay hit down to Delmas, who threw wide to first, everybody being safe. Orendorff threw to Delmas at second to catch Lindsay, and Delmas tossed the ball back to the plate, but made such a poor peg of it that Martinke was safe with run number two. The final run scored by Vernon came in the ninth. Carlisle was hit by a pitched ball. Kit ty Brashear was retired at first, after Dillon had muffed his grounder. Stov all went out, Dillon to Xagle, and Ray Brashear hit through third, scoring Carlisle. Los Angeles scored its only run in the ninth, and it looked like a gift. Daley walked Ross singled infield and Wheel er singled to left, scoring Daley. Then, with chances good for tying the score, the Angels fell down. Dillon forced Ross at third, Hitt to Brashear, and Bernard was put in to run for Dillon. Murphy filed to left, Roth drew free transportation and. Delmas was out at first on a pretty stop and assist by Fisher. The same teams play this afternoon, and with Hensling or Schafer working for Vernon and Thorsen or Tozer doing duty for the Angels, it looks like a fine diamond battle.

FIGHT TO BE IN STATE SAYS TEX Gleason, Rickard and Others In terested Have Long Confer ence Over Battleground MAY NOT 60 TO EMERYVILLE Amount of Money Involved Makes It Quite Necessary to Guard Against Interference SAN FRANCISCO. May 17.—Learn ing more of the attitude of the officials ot Aiameda county regarding the Jeffries-Johnson fight and practically abandoning intention to hold the con test in Emeryville, July 4, as scheduled, Tex Rickard, one of the promoters of the affair, has had a con ference with John L. Herget, chairman of the police commission of the local board of supervisors, and Jack Griffin, the prizefight promoter who holds the July permit for a contest in this city, the result of which has been the open- Ing of negotiations to hold the fight here instead of across the bay. This brings the situation back to its original status, for probably the first proposi tion that wai made to Rickard two months ago, when it became known that the fight was to be held in Cali fornia, was offered by Griffin, who de sired to barter the permit he held for the month in which the Jeffries-John son contract called for the meeting. It is said by prominent sporting men tonight that the promoters tentatively have agreed to accept Griffins bar gain, upon the assurance that the city and county ordinance now In effect, which limits ring contests to twenty rounds, will be repealed and a substi tute passed under the terms of which fighters will be permitted to battle for forty-five rounds. This is the only point that seems to stand in the way of the fight coming to San Francisco, rind Supervisor Herget has expressed himself as agreeable to a plan for the extension of the round limit on flghts here. Richmond, in Contra Costa county, where the Nelson-Wolgast fight took place, is of course, being considered, but the principals favor San Fran cisco. Admitting that the question of the law in the case is an open one, it is pointed out that the tremendous amount of money already involved in the fight will deter the promoters from taking any chances of even attepmpted interference. Uickard's only statement was, The fight will be held in California." WILLIAMS HAS NOT WITHDRAWN PERMISSION TO USE TRACK OVKLAND, May 17.—Thomas M. Williams, president of the New Cali fornia Jockey club, which controls the race track at Emeryville, where it was proposed to hold the Jeffries-Johnson fight, today explained the report that he had withdrawn his permission to hold the champioinship battle there on July 4. "Whether or not the combat will be held across the bay is entirely in the ha mis of Tex Rickard," said Williams. "When he first asked my permission for the use of the race track, I can vassed the business men and prominent people in Alameda county, and they all urged me to allow the fight at the track. Recently these same men have come, to me and Indicated that they did not want the fight in their vicinity. They had turned exactly around in their position, I suppose, as a result of the pressure brought to bear on them. "Naturally I desired, as near as I could, to coincide with their ideas, and so I sent for Rickard. and I placed the situation before him, telling him how I would prefer that be did not hold the fight at Emeryville. I in formed him, however, that my personal promise to him would hold good, and that he could have the fight at the track if he desired. I said plainly that I preferred that he did not, but I did not cancel my permission, and if he cannot arrange to hold the bout else where, fir prefers to keep me to my original promise, he can do so. That is the whole situation." DISTRICT ATTORNEY PLANS TO STOP THE BIG BATTLE OAKLAND, May 17.—An Oakland paper today says: "The forty-flve-round contest be tween James J. Jeffries and Jack John sun for the heavyweight championship of the world, scheduled for July 4, will not take place at the Oakland race track. "This was decided and announced to friends this morning by Tex Rickard, promoter and referee for the battle. The reasons for this decision are mani fold, but the announcement that Thomas H. Williams, president of the New California Jockey club, had re quested such action because of the protests from ministers Is not one of til Ml. "The promoter has learned from an authoritative source that District At torney Donahue means to have a large force Of deputies at the ringside in the event the light takes place here and j to instruct them to stop the contest •it the flrsl sign of blood, basing it on tin ground of brutality. "Besides the trouble Rickard has ben having with the site question, he has also had his hands full trying to settle the referee question. Aftetr many conferences he himself was chosen as th.> third mnn in the ring. ! Among sporting men on both sides of i the bay it is not believed that he will officiate, and that he accepted the offer temporarily until he could bring the two factions together to agree on a California referee of prominence." INFLUENZA BREAKS UP MANY JUVENILE HOPES NEW YORK, May 17. —The outbreak of influenza at Bneepahead Bay. which several days ago laid low every 2-year i.l.l In the James R.

A story went the rounds yesterday that there had been a split between Johnson and Little, and that Billy Nolan, erstwhile manager of Bat Nel son, would assume charge of the cham pion's camp. This afternoon, however, it was denied on all sides. Little said that Nolan had absolutely no chance to become manager. Johnson merely laughed at the report, and Billy Nolan said that there was no truth In the story "l only wish It were tjatg." he said. "but the subject ii'i^^ft''' 1' been broached, and It was all aWurprlse to me. My only interest in Johnson is that I think he Is certain to beat Jeffries and that I may bet some money on him. I was present at the. conference merely to see if I could be of any assistance in selecting a referee who would give him a square deal." V 7 Tex Rickard. somewhat nettled by the report that his name was sug gested as referee merely to fill In the breach temporarily, has come out with a statement that he will referee the fight, and that he will not give way to any man in the world. V J "I wanted to know whether I would be satisfactory to Jeffries," said Rickard. "I have been assured that everything is all right, and now I am going to hold the job." Ed Graney, one of those suggested for the referee job, left this afternoon for the Jeffries camp at Ben Lomond. He explains very carefully that as the referee question is settled, he wants to see the big fellow on other business. WESTERN LEAGUE At Omaha—Omaha 11, St. Joseph 0. At Lincoln—Lincoln 6, Wichita ",.
