C off roth Will Compete With the Nevada Fight Promoters
Wants to Pull Off Fight
Between Britt and Gans
The offer of 525,000 made by M. M.
Rilry of the Casino Athletic Club of
.Tonopah for a fight at that place on
i March 17 between Champion Joe Cans
(and Jimmy Britt will not take the
i battle awa.v from San Francisco if
[Jimmy Coffroth, ihe local promoter
suceeds in his purpose. As soon as
was received of the offer made
j by the Kevadan Coffroth came out with
| the announcement that he was ready
to offer the earae amount of money for
a contest between Gens and Britt to
take place here.
Should^the local promoter succeed
in signing the two m«m he would etage
the attraction some time between the
j early part of April and the latter part
; of May. Just where he would pull off
(the contest Coffroth could not state
;ltst night. He would favor an after
] noon affair.
Brttt Is sojourning across the bay
end Tjothing oould be learned from him
last night as to what he thought of the
I Tonopah offer.
, Coffroth Is acting In a dual role at the
I present time. He ia looking after Britt's
interests as well as promoting fights.
Coffroth received a telegram from
iTonopab laet night asking him If he
I would accept the inducement* offered
j by Riley for th« Britt and Gans match,
t and in reply he sent the following tele
gram: \u0084.-•\u25a0. . • "
• "Am communicating with. Britt about
match. Our plans call for European
Itrip about time mentioned. Hope to
straighten that out. If match is made
,-want 133 pounds ringside, as I would
, prefer to Bee Britt win or lose at light
weight limit. Will wire tomorrow.
"JAMES COFFROTH."
the Tonopah people succeed In
\u25a0ratting this -attraction away from! me,"
1 *al<s Coffroth last night, ."I will Insist,
[as a \u25a0 representative of Britt, that' the
weight be IS3 pounds at ringside. There
/will be no Joker in the articles like
: that which Nolan put through in regard
to weighing in •with fighting togs. All
that w* shall insist on be the same
conditions that governed the previous
match between Britt and Gans in this
city."
Britt has always insisted that his
last encounter with Gans •was on the
, nquare, notwithstanding the charges
made by the colored fighter that the
outcome was prearranged. The local
f.phter has contended that he could de-
Teat Gans under the same conditions
and Coffroth Bays his man wants to
prove that the accusations made
agalnet him are untrue.
It looks as though the local fight
promoters will be somewhat up against
it during the coming year if they are
allowed to promote their sport. The
exorbitant purses offered by the
sporting men ©f Nevada for high-class
f.pht attractions make it appear as
if the local promoters would have to
take a b«|,ck Feat.
Jim Coffroth. who has handled some
nf the biggest prizefight attractions
in the country, announced yesterday
that he was ready to compete with the
Nevada promoters.
. "I expect to be in the field during
the coming year," salfl Coffroth. "and
I am firmly convinced th«t .1 will be
a.bie to secure come of the biggest
flg-ht attractions for this city during
the coming year. I am not afraid of
the purses offered by the Nevada pro
moters. When I Bee an attraction
which I believe will appeal to the
boxing patrons of this city I will be
a factor In the bidding for that con
test. • .:; 'S -•\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0.:''\u25a0 "v;-.
"I am willing to take chances on
my judgment as to the drawing pow
ers of a contest. I know it is some
what of a gamble to offer two fighters
» purse, but I have been successful in
the past, and I am willing to rislt my
money on my judgment. When the
rigrht card presents itself, you can
figure that the Nevada promoters will
ha%-e to go high to beat me out. On
« card like Gans and Herman I could
not afford to bid as much money as
was given them, but when you get a
really strong attraction the people of
this State will liberally support it,
but not a fight that looks one-sided."
Eddie Graney refuses •to say what
his Intentions are for the corning year
relative to boxing. He is po busy with
several other business ventures that
he is not interested in the fighting
came. ' "_-". . . BBS

MORTGAGES SHARE
IN RICH ESTATE
BERLIN, Jan. 2.— The Tagblatt an
nounced today that the second son of
August Thyssen, the great steel and
coal producer and one of the richest
men ;in . Germany, had. mortgaged his
share in his father's estate to a firm
of Dutch bankers for from J2.D00.000 to
$5,000,000..
The son's legal interest in the prop
erty, under the father's contract with
the boy* mother in ISBS. was estab
lished some time ago through Herr
Thussen'e efforts to place his son un
der guardianship, so as to prevent him
from wasting his property.

;. Fleht on Other Questions
HONOLULU. Jan. 2. — The local Jap
anese -are watching for any signs of
legislation that may in any way influ
ence them and their business. The Jap
anese liquor dealers are particularly
vigilant because a proposition made by
some of the white liquor dealers that
.no liquor licenses should be Issued to
Orientals has thoroughly aroused them.
They "Intend to call a mass meeting at
which they can discuss the matter and
.'devise ways and means to oppose such
legislation.
The Japanese are also getting ready
to fight on two old propositions — the
hack license question and the matter
of the examination In English of Jap
anese physicians.

EAGER TO SIEET BIUTT
Gaaa Menu for a Pisrbt With the Cali
fornia at
TOXOPAH. Nev., Jan. 2.— Ben Selig,
acting for Joe Gans, and M. M. Riley,
on behalf of the Casino Athletic Club,
today signed articles for a finish fight
between Gans and Jimmy Britt As
soon as 'James Edward eigns the match
is a go. The purse is $25,000, to be
cut sixty and forty; weight, 133 pounds
two hours before fight. Coffroth. man
ager of Britt, was wired and asked if
Jimmy would sign. It le up to Coff
roth.
Riley cays if Britt does not want a
match he will take on another man.
Herman and Gans will leave on the
morning train for Chicago. Gans goes
to fulfill a theatrical engagement, and
Herman back home to get . married.
The local club says it is well satisfied
with the Gans-Herman fight. It is in
the game to stay, and will make money
in the future.
"KID" WOULD FIGHT AGAIN
"Kid" Herman was about today and
showed very little effect from the battle
yesterday. Outside of a small cut on
the lip and a slight redness about the
nose "Kid" looked just the same as
ever. In discussing the fight "Kid"
said:
"There were several things in con
nection with the fight that came far
from helping my case. Take, for in
stance, that punch that Gans slipped
me after the close of the second round.
My guard was down, and he hit me
squarely on the jaw. The punch dazed
me. as those at the ringside know.
The moving pictures of the fight will
show this. The pictures will also show
that the crowd jumped up and hissed
Joe, and that he tried to square mat
ters by talking to them from the ring.
I do not think for a minute that Joe
struck me after the gong Intentionally.
He is too square to do anything like
that, but at the same time it hurt my
chances. Another thing that was un
favorable to me was the time of start
ing the fight. The articles called for
a fight tb start at 3 o'clock, two hours
after weighing In. Instead of that we
started fighting ten minutes after 4
o'clock. Any one who knows about the
training of fighters knows that an
hour under these conditions makes a
big difference In weight. I would like
to have another chance at Gans. One
thirty-three ringside would make a big
difference, and I think I could whip
him at that 'weight."
XEL.SON* WIHES TERMS
Dane Cable* That Hr Will Fight Col
ored Champion
NEW YORK. Jan. I.— A cablegram
received today from Battling Nelson
contains the first and positive anounce
ment of the terms upon •which the Dane
Is willing to again meet Joe Gans. The
message reads:
"Arrived safely after a stormy pas
sage; match Gans $40,000; 65 per cent
to tho winner and 35 per cent to loser;
fight in August."
Nelson's message evidently was in
spired by the receipt by him of the
news of Cans' decisive victory over
Herman. He learned of the result upon
his arrival at Liverpool.
Nelson has not before stated the
terms upon which he stands to face
Gans the second time. Ever since the
negro fought him to a standstill- at
Goldfleld and won on a foul Nelson has
said he was anxious to try conclusions
once more.
Immediately after the fight Gans, his
prestige increased by the showing
made against Nelson, announced that if
another match was arranged he would
Insist upon naming the conditions. Nel
son had the long end of the bargain
before the Goldfield battle. It is a ques
tion if Nelson's terms will meet with
the approval of Gans. Gans said, after
his victory over Herman, that he was
eager for another match with the Dane.

MIS3IATED PAIRS ASK
COURT TO SEVER TIES
Mamalen A. Moore SnJd to Have Threat
ened to Kill HU Wife, and She,
Want* Divorce
Three unhappy pairs who found mar
riage a failure made application yes
terday to the courts to have their
domestic troubles ended.
Because Marsales A. Moore threat
ened several times to kill his wife
Alice, to whom he had been married
since January 17, 1902, the wife prayed
the court for a divorce. The Moores
lived previous to the fire at 700 Cam
bridge street, and as the property at
that address is alleged by the wife
to be community property, she asks
for an equal division of same. The
plaintiff alleged that the defendant
earns $7 a day as a plasterer and asked
for $40 a month alimony.
Other divorce suits filed were: Marie
Maler vs. August Maier, cruelty, and
James F. Strode vs. Lillian Strode, de
sertion. !. ' //-

JAPANESE EDITOR TO BE
, UNMOLESTED BY OFFICERS
Washington Authorities State They
Do Act Have Sufficient Evidence
, to Warrant Arrest
Editor Takenchi of the Japanese pa
per, known as the Revolution, pub
lished in Berkeley, will not be deported
on account of his advocacy of the
overthrow of the President. This in-"
formation was received yesterday' In
a press dispatch from Washington
and by a private telegram to Immi
gration Commissioner North of San
Francisco from the Department of
Commerce and Labor.
North had applied to Washington
for a warrant for the "arrest of the
Japanese on the allegation that he is
an anarchist and a dangerous person.
The department officials decided after
due consideration that the evidence
before them did not justify an arreßt,
and they have so stated to North.
More evidence against Takenchi will
probably be sent to Washington later
by i-/avld J. Griffiths, who is working
on the case.

STANFORD RUGBY
PLAYERS TO BE
HONORED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE. CALL.
SEATTLE, Jan. 2. — When, the Stan
ford Rugby team reached Seattle from
Vancouver tonight, where they played a
draw, game, a rousing reception .was
accorded It. To- fittingly entertain' the
team old Stanford men today organized
the. Stanford Club of Puget Sound, with
Professor Milner , Roberts, '99; Scott
Calhoun, '95; P. C. Harper, 'OS In charge.
The Stanford alumni will have a re
served section at the game on Saturday.
A banquet will be given the guests
Saturday night at the Seattle Athletic
Club rooms. , '
In the Puget Sound country are many
old Stanford men formerly ; prominent
in the college athletics, and especially
football,! but who have never seen a
Rugby ;game.; Among! these is Barn
hisel.'.'OS; T. L. ' McFadd-en,*t tackle; '00;
Clements, ,'03, , and 'they will assemble
from "all: parts ;of_ the ; Sound
to "give .'their alma 'mater a' worthy
reception.,.
CATS AS GAME DESTROYERS
All" gunners' know the destructive
ness of the domestic cat when allowed
to roam at large, but very few, I think,
realize the number of such cats ' that
subsist on small gamel We have all
occasionally . met cats when off ; in the
woods or fields at great distances from
houses, but it remained fqj the search
lights lof my machine to ; reveal the
great number of such animals at large.
During the month of August every
evening I went out I saw from three to
half a dozen cats hunting along the
country roads, some of them half a
mile or more from the nearest house,
and the wonder is that we have any
small game left in "the more thickly
settled districts. I:^V
Some idea of the , destructiveness of
these animals may be gained) from the
statement of an engineer In one of
the; city's pumping stations, which is
located near a swampy piece of wood
land. He told me that in one, week
the cat he had at the station brought
iiu eight . half-grown rabbit 3. This
probably dld N not represent Its entire
kill for that period. ."
Personally, I, have never known a cat
to capture a: quail or. woodcock.i but -I
do know of their catching young rab
bits ;and many, kinds r of small ; s birds,
and have no doubt they succeed in
capturing some of the former. I have
often found where quail have been de
stroyed ;close by a house.and believe
it, to be the work of a cat, and not of a
fox.
AsiUl gunners • are Interested . in this
question of ; game and* its preservation,
and^fis another, gunning season is rap
idly approaching,^ I believe some con
certed action'-.' should" be ""taken" and
would like to hear; from brother, sports
men their experiences in this- line, and
what they consider t would ; : be .a^ good
remedy. I myself believe in shooting
every.cat found In the woods. ;: In some
States' 1/ understand* there ,isMn» force
a law " licensing cats, but such a law
is .-. not nearly] so; effective - ; as / a charge
of shot.—^-Forest and Stream.
