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.

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."

JOHNSON TO BOX
WITH VOLUNTEERS
Black Slugger's Muscles Feel No
Stiffness from Sunday's
Hard Try Out
[Associated Press]
SAN FRANCISCO, May Jack
Johnson, with the selection of a referee
off his mind, went through his usual
grind on the road this morning In
preparation for his second day's box
ing that will be the feature tomorrow
afternoon. Strange to say. after the
hard day's work that Johnson went
through on Sunday, there was not the
slightest complaint of stiff muscles, i
"If anything, I feel better than eve-,-,
and though I went through some Ftlff
work. I am glad of it. if it showed
the people that I am in good shape.
I expect to do just as much, if not
more, boxing tomorrow afternoon, and
may make it ten rounds Instead of
eight," said Johnson.
Manager George Little says he has
a couple of volunteers who want a
chance to show what they cm do. and
that he will let them as well as Dave
Mills box tomorrow.
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.
