SMITH TO REFEREE;
CLUB INSURES LIFE
No Chances Will Be Taken With Third
Man in Ring at Next Battle
THE many obstacles which have been thrown in the path of Sid Jlcstcr, ,
promoter of the Mission club, in his endeavors to pull off the Battling
XcLson-Ad Wolßast 45 round fight for the world's lightweight champion
ship, seem to have been overcome. The last one of 'them was passed
yesterday noon when the managers of the lighters settled down to
business and -elected F.ddie Smith as referee.
The selection of Smith to referee tlie hip contest was a signal victory for
Nelson in the dictatorial battle which has been on between Tom Jone?,
manager for Wblgast; and John R. Robinson, manager for Kelson. Smith
va- Nelson's choice and the champion took a decided stand for the Oakland
nag official.
To John R. Robinson goes the distinction of creating something new in
pugilistic history. Robinson informed Hester that there was a remote
possibility of something happening to Referee Smith between now and the
time of the fight and asked the club to insure Smith's life, the policy to be
jna<lo out to Kelson. Robinson contended that in the event of something
unlocked for happening there would be a great deal of trouble in selecting j
another referee and it might result in a deadlock and a loss to all parties
concerned.
Hester consented to Robinson's demand. Later in the day Jones learned
o: it and he asked the same privilege for Wolg.ist, which Hester granted.
Referee Smith will be examined today by physicians and a policy for
insurance on Smith's life will be issued amounting to $10,000.
NEW SET OF ARTICLES SIGNED
At tlie meeting of the managers oi the fighters and Promoter Hester
yesterday ai! details relative to the signing of articles, naming the rci'i-tec and
battleground were completed.! A new set of articles \va> signed. These'
were "ii the wrholc the same as the la>t >et. except that a change was made
naming Point Richmond a< the battleground instead of A'.amcda.
There v.a- not much dickering over the referee question. Smith's name
was put up and finally accepted. He was asked to officiate and he consented.
The people of Point Richmond arc elated about their town being given
the fight. Promoter Pat Dean is planning to get the arena in lirst class
shape. All official of the Mis-ion club made a trip to Point Richmond
yesterday to look over the scene. He timed his trip from the ferry to the
scene of the battleground; which consumed 40 minutes.
Deaii has assurance from the railroad people that special railroad facilities
will be given ihe crowd which attends the light. The arena is but a short
distance from the Point Richmond ferry slip.
FIGHTERS SETTLE DOWN TO THE GRIND
The fighters settled down to the hard grind yesterday and Millett's,
where Kelson is training, and at the Seal Rock house, where Wolgast is
jf^ttinjr in condition, wen scenes of activity. The boxers went # right to work
viih plenty of zip. and they will increase. the grind from now on.
Nelson sparred nine rounds and did his regular gymnasium work. lie
started off with his brother Art. whom he took on for three 2 minute rounds.
Then came Joe Myer^ who is a wrestler as well as being some pumpkins with
the gloves. Myers proved a good sparring partner for the Battler and he
jrave him a thorough working out. Abe Silverman finished up with the
champion.
One of Kelson's old sparring partners. Jeff Perry, is in Wblgast's camp
helping the Milwaukeean to get in shape. Along with Perry, Wolgast has
3ii? regular sparring partner. Hobo Dougherty. I
Wolgast put in a good day. He wa» on the road and in the gymnasium;
liis sparring consisted of four rounds with Perry and a like number of rounds
with Dougherty.
RIVAL FIGHTERS NEAR EQUAL WEIGHT
Am official of the club visited the training <juarters of both fighters and
;~aw them weigh in. Wolgast tipped the scales at exactly 135 pounds and the
Battler was •'•. quarter of a pound lighter than the challenger.
In this battle Wolgast will probably weigh more .than he ever did before.
He will go into the ring a full fledged lightweight. Kelson's weight has
practically remained stationary for a number of years. He will experience
no difficulty in getting down to the required notch.
Tlie boxers are planning to receive crowds of spectators at the camps
from now until the battle.

TO REDUCE PURSES
FOR ADDED SEASON
President Williams Declares
Extension Will Mean a
Certain Loss
E. W. CLARKE
Owing: to the fact that the meeting
at Emeryville is being conducted at a.
big loss, President Thomas 11. Wil
liams of llus New California, jockey
club announced yesterday that tor the
period covering- the extension of 40
days the purses will be somewhat re
duced.
When it was originally announced
that there would he 60 days <>f racing
at the Oakland track President Wil
liams iNado certain promises as to the
value of purse?, which have more than
been lived up to. It was figured that
racing would; be conducted with v loss
and the extension of 10 days was made
to help the horsemen during the time
that remains until the opening 1 of the
summer circuits, and also to maintain
the sport.
President Williams and his associates
f>.el that the horsemen should do their
share in bringing- aid to the situation,
and for this reason if was decided to
reduce the purse*?. • No purse .will bo
less than $200 and SSOO.and $100 purses
will be offered daily as before.

Jockey Carroll Shilling arrived 'yes
terday from Juarez and will have the
Bedwell mounts' today. lie will ride
Jeanette M in the Fairtiehl handicap,
and Tap 1 In; who rode the mare to her
iast victory, will pilot Fort Johnson.
The Bedwell mare was quite a mudder
in Canada, but has not shown a 1a 1 liking
for tin; going here.
The remainder of the Bedwell string
was shipped from Juarez* Monday
night and should arrive tomorrow. The
wizard himself may reach the track
today and will, devote his time from
now on to keeping at -the' top of the
winning owners' list at Emeryville^
With Shilling in the boot and Gil
bert expected at the track, Taplin's
premiership among the jockeys will
not be so easily defended. So far he
has completely outclassed the boys
across the bay, and those who followed
his mounts have profited. Last year
Taplin was fourth in the llsjt of Ameri
can jockeys, winning 151 races, finish
ing second 131 times and third- 138
times out of SS*» mounts. - His winning
percentage, was .17, while Khilling'.s
fas ,HO. Shilling rode-.IOS winners, 51
seconds and GI! thirds out of 053
mounts.-. • .

Albert Walsh's frequent troubles with
judges and starters and his consequent
suspensions are spoiling his value for
Applegate & Yanke. and it is rumored
at the track that Yanke is negotiating
for the services of Jockey : Thomas,
the lightweight, who has shown con
siderable class as a free lance. L,ast
year Thomas figured a point over
Walsh in the percentage of winning
races.

SALt'IaKK CITY. Feb. 8. — The Jeffries-Johnson battle for . tjie world's
. heavy weight championship, July 4. undoubtedly will be fought in or near
San Francisco. Following a day of short conferences between Tex Rickard
and J.ack Gleason, the disputing promoters, this was the unofficial but authori
tative information given out tonight.
> The conferences ended with Rickard gloomy and Gleason chesty, with Rlck
ard still holding out hope for Utah- for the flght and Gleason saying nothing.
/ .That Ilickard has given up all hope, in the face of County~Attorney Job P.
Lyon's declaration 'Monday night that the fight can not be held in this county,
is indisputable, and Rickard is quoted as admitting privately that the fight
now undoubtedly will go to, California. •
At the end of the conferences Rickard gave out that no decision had been
reached and^tnat negotiations with Gleason had been broken o£E temporarily,
and that no definite announcement as to the place for the figh£ will be made
until he lias another conference with the California promoter.
The fight fans translate the last part of Rickard's statement to mean that
he '-has. lost in his fight for Utah as the place, but that he dislikes to admit so
soon that ho is beaten. \u25a0
The official announcement that the fight will go to San Francisco is con
fidently expected within a few hours.
Riekard. man effort to ease off his defeat, is understood to have- advanced
Los Angeles as a good place for the fight. Jeffries would not oppose the City
of Angels and Tom McCarey,' an unsuccessful bidder for the fight, probably
would help Rickard, with whom he is friendly. -out in this, but Los Angeles*
chances to land the match are considered decidedly remote here. .

Chicago last week. He is a Quiet, un
assuming chap, whose hands chow
many entanglements with tlie speedy
liners of the diamond. In fact. Cline,
before' taking up billiards, was a pro
fessional baseball player and served
two terms at shortstop for the Canton
(O.) team back in the. early 90s. Be
sides being balklln** champion the
Philadelphian is a clever three cush
ionist and once held the \u25a0world** cham

Demarest, the former champion, won
his titlo in the last N'fw York tourna
ment, in -which h^ b*at both Cllne and

recent defeat at the hands of Cline to
a brace of "off nijrhts" and expects to
regather his laurels in a return math
to be played in the near future. Kddie
Graney is putting forth his b*st ef
forts to bring Clin<» and Demarest to
gether for a championship game, anil
it is just possible that the clever pair
will deride the question of supremacy
while playing in tan Francisco.
Bert Cutler, the third member of th*»
party, finished third in the big New-
York tourney and is ratfd one of th<
best professional billiardists in the
business. He is an all around artist,
being equally clever at balkiint:-, threw
cushions and the bank shot game.
The three cue slingers were accom
panied by their road manager. B. I*.
Mank, who is also something of a
billfardist. Maiik will arrange all tiie
games to be played by the trk> during
its local engagement and is a!*i> eut»
todian of $5,000 in cash, which he tj
willing to betnhat either Cline. Cutter
or Demarest can beat any ;>mi al!
comers at most any old sort of a b!l
liard game.
Tonight's rftateh in tlie Graney v.il!
bring together Bert Cutler and Calvin
Demarest in a combination e:i!:il>it.io.'.
The easterpers will play 15 points at
"red ball" and points at balkUm*.
The former game has seldom if ever
been played on tho coast and requires
great skill. The contestants must hit
the red ball first before counting for
a point. At this style of play Dem
arest has a record run of 60.
