1 SPORTING GOSSIP. NEW YORK. Dec. 27. Unless some body backs down In the next forty eight hours, a fight for the "heavyweight championship of the world" nill be arranged between James J.

Jeffries and Bill Squires of Australia, with Rhyollte, as the battle ground and thirty thousand dollars tho purse. According to the latest advices from California Jeffries agreed to make this match today, stipulating that the fight should be decided in April, which would give him about three months in which to get himself in shape. The much talked of fifty thousand dollar purge in'he air when Jeffries began to talk business with Promoter Skinner of the Rhyo lite A. who told the big plainly that thirty thousand dollars was the largest offer possible in vJew of the unknown quality of Squires as a pugilist. But, such a sum did not deter Jeff from accepting the terms at once, at the same time wiring Skinner's backer, B.

I. Taylor, at that everything was satisfactory. Squires was heard from in a round about way. He did not send a reply to the cablegrams sent to him at Newcastle by both Skinner and Taylor, but he cabled a San Francisco newspaper that he would sail for America on January 28 on the steamer Sonoma to meet Jeffries for the thirty" thousand dollar prize, on condition that the ex penses of himself and trainer across the Pacific were first" guaranteed by the Rhyolite A. C.

This puts it up squarely to the Rhyolite people, and If they wire the Australian pugilist that his terms are accepted there will be nothing left but the signing of articles to clinch the big fight. Gans Is a 2 to 1 favorite over Herman for the lightweight championship fight to be held at Tonopah, on New Tear's day. So far there has been very little betting because of the recent row over the referee and the 'supposition that Gans may experience some difficulty In making 133 pounds, ringside. But as Gans named the conditions under which the men will fight, it Is confidently believed that when the Baltimore fighter gets on the scales he will tip the beam at the lightweight limit and will also be in the pink of condition. A movement has been started to have the two New; Orleans race tracks policed in future by the Pinker BattU Cruk Toattid Corn Flika Ct.

BATTLE CRCEK, MICH. tons who have maintained order on the Jockey Club and California tracks for a number of years.i The other day there was a fteht in the betting ring at the fair grounds between a steeplechase Jqckey and a local detective that nearly precipitated a riot. It was tnis inci dent that suggested the engagement of the Pinkertons and the track managers are now considering the matter. President Tom Williams of the new California jockey club is a firm believer in the development of apprentice jockeys and even stable boys. With this in view he has established two schools at one for instructing the youngsters in the art of riding and the other for the improvement of their minds.

Already midgets have be gun to attract attention in the races near Frisco. Among them are Wilson, Dugan, Jarrett, McLaughlin and A. Walsh. Wilson can make 65 pounds. Dugan about 70, McLaughton S5 and Walsh 6S.

Jarrett, who has shown up the best of this lot is apprenticed to Barney Schreiber. He can ride at 80 pounds, has a nice pajr, of hands, is quick at the post and knows how to "sit still" when told to do so. The winter tracks have developed many star jockeys. 7 President Murphy of the Chicago Cubs, when he heard that Ban Johnson's salary had been raised to $15, 000, made the remark: "We pay Pulliam In real money." Murphy might have added that the White Sox beat the Cubs in he world series by playing real EAST END. Mrs.

We' are pleased to note that a spur of the new electric railway will be extended to Waverly, for the accommodation of the "summer colony" and the "farm "produce." Doubtloss the latter will include the permanent residents of the village, but It makes no difference, If we can ride. Our citizens will show a great Interest in this spur, when the time comes for its Dopinj Race Horses.

Doping trotters on the grand circuit has become so common that the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' association last season posted this sign on its grounds Just before the annual meeting at Lexington: "Any person detected in the act of drugging a horse will be expelled." The practice is said to be equally prevalent on the running turf, and on both it is done so cleverly that the chance of detection Is one in a thousand. In speaking of the matter a few days ago a prominent veterinarian said: "No one is likely to be caught In the act of doping a race horse, because the dose given is so small that It can be administered under the very eyes of the officials with little if any danger of detection, and, besides, It is given so long before the race that the horses are not then likely to be under "If a horse is to race at 3 o'clock he gets a two grain powder on his tongue in a darkened stall at 1 o'clock. The drug takes effect in about thirty minutes and the animal breaks out into a sweat. He is rubbed down, cooled out and done up as if he had come in from morning work. Every effort Is made to keep him quiet until post time, but he very often breaks out again and is again cooled out.

"The doped horse never takes any warming up work, and this fact affords the best means I know of for finding him out. He is moved slowly to the paddock and as slowly to the starting point, great care being taken to prevent him from becoming excited until the flag is dropped. Then a kick and a dig do the work, and in an instant the full force of the dope is felt, stimulating the animal to run the race of his life. "After the race an antidote is usually given, but It is sometimes well along in the night before the excited horse regains his normal condition. The strain on the nervous system is terrific.

For this reason 'dope horses' have short careers as a rule and are of little value for breeding purposes." SURE TO CURE INDIGESTION. Vnlesa Prpalkola Cnrea Yonr Dyaneaala Slot! lie wa Broa.
