Sporting Gossip for Rabid Fans

MOVMN
SAN FRANCISCO, Cnl., June 4.
Old Kid Hard Luck is still camping
on Promotor Jim Coffroth's trail. To
cap tho climax of tho scries of dis
asters that have befallen him since
tho biff fight was grabbed away from
him, Jem Driscoll, the English feath
erweight champion, who was matched
by Coffroth to fight Abe Attell for
tho world's title, has taken a run-out
powder, claiming illness, and sails
today for England.
Thero is n suspicion that the ill
ness is feigned and that the real
cause of the Englishman's change of
' hoart is due to tho miserablo show
ing against Tal Moore," the 17-year-of-ago
Philadelphia bantam,
who made Driscoll look like a ring
tailed monkey in a 10-round bout in
New York about two weeks ago. The
verdict of the New York papers in
favor of Moore for a slaughter at
tho hands of Jem evidcntlv sent the
Britisher into a blue funk and the
cancellation of tho match followed.
Coffroth has not yet decided upon a
card for the Saturday before the
Fourth, but it is not unlikely that
Driscoll's stable mate, Owen Moran,
who fights Frankie Conley iu Los
Angeles in tho nenr future, will be
offered tho place made vacant by
Driscoll.
Sam Langford journeyed out to
Millett's todav and by tomorrow tho
much dreaded negro will bo in the
full swing of preparation for his
fight with Al Kaufman in Blot's
arena on the afternoon of Juno 18.
Langford, who has been fighting
steadily ever since tho beginning of
the year, docs not need much work,
but, ho intends to put himself into
the very best of shape for his meet
ing with tho local giant. Sam is
about as light even now as ho cares
to be, scaling around 163 pounds,
which is fully 40 pounds lighter than
Kaufman will weigh when he enters
tho ring. Langford has heard n good
dcnl about Al's punch and ability to
ussimiluto punishment, but doesn't
seem to bo worrying about it
Jack Johnson is pleased rather
than peeved over tho reception given
him at Dreamland last night, whore
he sparred four founds with Marty
Cutler and two rounds with Kid Cot
ton boforo a crowd that was very
much smaller that tho ono that saw
Jim Jeffries go through his paces
last week. Barring a fow hisses from
tho gallery and several interruptions
while making a speech, Jack was
given quite a nice reception. His
exhibition was a good ono and he
caught the crowd by permitting Cut
ler, who has a good punch, to whale
away at his stomach without at
tempting to block him. Johnson also
showed some ability iu tho forensic
line, but when ho tried tho trained
orator's trick of pausing just before
tho peroration to give tho audience
an opportunity to sot itself for the
ginud finals ho tumbled into a trap.
"Gentlemen," said Jack, "on the
Fourth of next July you will see "
The negro paused, looked around the
house to sco what effect his talk was
having and was about to resume
when an unfeeling gink in tho gallery,
seeing a grand chanco to put one
right over tho pinto, yelled eut:
"A nigger's funeral."
The sally hit Johnson on tho fun-ny-bono
and for several seconds the
golden smile was on exhibition. Af- that tho directors try to put the
ter the laughter had subsided, Jack company in shapo to pay dividends,
out one himself, saying: I Tho rniso will take effect July 1 and
"For the sake of the well-educated tho company stated in its communi
centlcmnn in tho gallery, I do hope cation that an effort would be made
that when the people from all parts to get dividends for the stockhold
of tho world come here they will see ers. who have had no returns since
two men well trained and a fight they invested their money two years

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
IN MONTHLY SESSION
The Rogue River Valley Horticul
tural society met in regular session
Saturday afternoon with President
C. W. Potter in the chair.
The meeting took tho character of
an informal discussion of matters
pertaining to the growing of fruit.
A special meeting was ordered for
June 18, at which Professor O'Garn
will be asked to speak, the date of
ago. Jlam line business puoues were
raised from $2.50 to $3.25 per month,

residence phones from $1.75 to $2.25
per month, party line city residence
phones from $1.25 to $1.50, and

neement that the raise in rates will
cansc many subscribers to have their
phones removed, and already orders
have been received to that effect
from several patrons, but as the sys
tem is now heavily loaded with 1220
phones tho company hopes by this
means to get ahead of tho constant
ly growing business. Over 100
