PRESIDENT TAFT

Be Content With Compromise
And "Play the Game."
New York Oct. 6. The postpone
ment of the Ketchel-Johnson fight from
October 12 to October 16 as announc
od in San Francisco last night will
not have any effect It ia said on the
local betting: In delaying the match
until Saturday instead of having It on
Tuesday it is believed Promoter Crof-
froth sees more money In sight on
the latter date
The delay is considered good news
for the supporters of Stanley Ketchel
who has been forced to train for the
battle in a remarkably short time. This
will give him four additional days in
which to prepare for his heavier an-
tagonist. As soon as

a great game for Bennie Owen is dop
ed to have a better team than be
brought to Lawrence a year ago and
likewise Kansas seems to have a bet
ter eleven than It had a year ago.
'If we are defeated it will be be-
cause my men are too confident" said
Coach Kennedy today commenting on
the Oklahoma game "and in case
Owen's men win they will make their
winning scores in the first half." The
Kansas mentor is afraid that the win
train for his battle with Johnson far
away from civilization In the Oregon
mountains. If there is any spot on
earth that he can get into cone:!.'. on
to put up the biggest battle of his life
he believes it is in the heart of the
Cascade range. He has been there be
fore and knows.
Jeffries will reach Los Angeles late
this month according to recent ad
San Francisco Oct. 6. President
Taft was welcomed to San Francisco
yesterday afternoon by a throng which
lined the walks in some places ten
deep along a line of march extending
over nearly three miles of the prin
cipal streets. The school children
of this city. Oakland and Berkeley
were all out to cheer for the Presi
dent.

chel was anxious to have his fight
with Johnson postponed until about
October 21 to which neither John
soa nor Cronroth would consent so
now the delay of even a few days Is
considered favorable for Ketchel.
Here ia a new agreement entered
into:
San Francisco Oct. 4. At the re-
quest of James Croffroth both Jack
Johnson and Stanley Ketchel (repre-
scores may have made the Jaybawk-
ers too confident. Mosse the right-
hand man of Kennedy believes this is
one bad feature of playing weak teams
so early in the season.
Another such brawn and muscle ma
chine as Kennedy and Mosse are work
ing on was probably never gotten to
gether on McCook field. And it is not
raw material for the frame on which
the Kansas eleven is built consists of
veteran players. Here is the frame:

Two years ago Jeffries and a party
of friends hunted deer and bear with
great success and caught numberless
trout from the mountain streams. The
big fighter climbed mountains and
fought his way through the under
brush of the hillsides and canyons on
long hunting Jaunts and was iu the
finest possible physical condition when
sented by "WJlIus Britt) agreed to post-! Captain Carl Pleasant and Bill Qald-jhe broke camp. He expects to repeat
pone the Johnson-Ketehell contest
heretofore set for October 12 1909
until Saturday October 16 1909 at
3 o'clock p. iu. This agreement in no
wise changes the conditions of the
match as set out in the original ar-
ticles of agreement signed in New
York on April 14 1909 and it is ex-
pressly thoroughly and by each of us
understood and agreed that all the
agreements and stipulations set out in
the original articles of April 14 are to
be put into full force and effect on
October 16 1909 and the only -change
Is In the date.

J. W. Coffroth (for the club).
Witness to the above: W. V. Naugh-
ton. When the signatures were attached
to the foregoing Willus Britt turned
to Johnson and said: "There will
surely be a bigger house on the new
date although I would have preferred
October 23. Now that everything is
all right. Just tell me. Jack frankly .

SO long?"
Til be frank with you. Britt?" said
Johnson. "I didn't want to place you
ia a position ot saying that you bulled
me into doing things to suit you. I
hae thought the matter over and I
decided to change the date because it
tolls Mr. Coffroth's plans. He has
convinced me that there will be more
money in sight on October ltj and it
is Coffrotu and not you who has in
fluenced me in changing my mind."
James J. Corbett while hoping that
Ketchel wins expresses the fear that
the negro is too big and clever for
him. Tommy Ryan former middle
weight champion cites that Fitzsim-
mons weighed only 156 pounds when
he beat Corbett and that Sharkey was
nearly forty pounds lighter than Jef-
fries when they met at Coney Island.
Therefore Ryan believes that John-
son should not hold Ketchel too lightly
because the latter is under weight.

lieves he will harden his musles into
splendid fighting trim in a month or
two.
The big fellow is expected at Chi
cago about the middle of the month
to sign final articles for the fight with
Johnson. Then he will go to Los An
geles and make arrangements for his
training pick up sparring partners
and hike it for the Oregon mountains.
The length of his stay is not yet
known but it will probably depend up-
on the speed with which he rounds in
to condition for the big mill.

As the president was crossing from
the Oakland Mole to San Francisco
the army transport Thomas was leav
ing for the Phillippines and by the
president's request the revenue cut
ter McCulloch on which he was a pas
senger was drawn up alongside the
big vessel whose sides were lined
with soldiers and the families of of
ficers. On the bridge of the trans-
port was the Phillippine constabulary
band which played at the president's
inauguration. The band was playing
'Hail to the Chief as the president
shouted across the water to the khaki-
clad soldiers:
'Good-by boys; I wish you a pleas
ant voyage."
Answering cheers came back to the
president The propeller of the trans
port began to churn the waters a
rippling wave spread from the bow
as the vessel gay with flags gained
headway and the president looked
wistfully toward the Golden Gate.
Does it make you feel homesick
Mr. President" asked Captain Butt
his aide.
"Indeed it does" replied Mr. Taft
and I would give anything if I were.
going with them."
Berkeley was the first city overlook
ing the bay to welcome the president.
He was driven in a motor car to the
Greek Theater of the University of
California where he was greeted by
Prof. Bernard Moses who had served
with. Mr. Taft in 'the Phillippines.
The president upon his arrival in
San Francisco was taken for a three-
mile carriage ride through-the" city.
On Van Ness Avenue he reviewed
nearly all the public and parochial
school children of the city. . Next the
president laid ..he corner stone of the
new Y. M. C. A. building and express
ed again the interest he always feels In
Y. M. C. A. work.
Later the president was the guest of
honor at a reception at the Union
League Club. Last night he was giv
en a banquet at the Fairmont Hotel
by more than 6ix hundred residents
of San Francisco and later he was en
tertained at the Press Club. The
president retired at midnight at the
St Ftancis Hotel and left at 8 o'clock
this morning for the Yosemite Valley.
Ia Berkeley the president stole half
an hour awa7 from the entertaining
committee and visited his cousin Mrs
Charles T. Blake.
A pathetic incident marked Mr
Taft s stay In Berkeley. He passed in
review oi the pupils of an institution
for the deaf dumb and blind. The
silent nods of the dumb and the cheers
from the blind deeply impressed the
president.
In his speech last night the presi
dent reiterated his views on the sub
ject of a merchant marine and arous
ed great enthusiasm by his assertion
mat ne wouia urge tne passage of a
ship subsidy law as one of the princi-
pal subjects in his forthcoming mes
sage to congress. Mr. Taft asserted
that the country was resdy for an ex
periment in the way of a subsidy.
