New York, .1 una 20. Advices re ceived here today from Paris indicate that .lack Johnson, who meets Frank Moran of Pittsburg, June 87 in a 20 round bout, is not taking any chances of beiug cnught out of condition. It will be Johnson's first ring appearance dince he knocked out Jim Flynn at Uis Vegas, N. M., July 4, 1W2. Interviewed for a Paris newspaper, Johnson said: "You can bet on June 27 I'll be the great Jack Johnson who floored Tommy Burns ami who pounded Jim Jeffries. It's true that Morun is young and strong, but if I'm no longer young, I'm in better form than ever be fore. I'll make Moran pay for tho in sults Americana have heaped upon me, and dash their crazy hopes. Let- them dance. The whites shall never have my alp. " Johnson is Si! years old a citizen of France. The Frenchmen seem to take his talk seriously ami think nil Ameri cans are either Sioux or Comnnehes. Johnson talks just like nil the great champions who come back to the ring lifter a long absence. Little Johnny Coulun was an example o the semi-retired champion who thought he was as pood as ever. Of course there's a big chance that Johnson will beat Moran. Kvcrything exce t condition is in the big black's favor. He. is the champion, a much big ger man than i-orun, and a wonderful boxer. He has the most remarkable defense ever developed by any fighter, and he has the calm, oven tempered dis position and patience to wait for his phnncn hpfnrn nmkinir An npirrftaaive I move. Kven if he has sons back 50 per cent, Johnson will be very hard to beat. Pacific Coast League Standings. W. L,.

International Yacht Races Are Next on the Program and Interest Shown Is Keen By Hal Sheridan. New York, June 'Jit. - There Ml be no pence or repose of mind for the land lubber until the international yacht races are out of the way. The interna tional polo melee is over. Talk of "crowding" one's opponent, "buck hiiiid" strokes and "riding down" tin hall have given way before long winded arguments on the merits and demerits of topsails, spinnakers, "reaches", far o'diiysuils amt spankers by the rocking chair si'undrun which can be founded .iec reusing the supply of cocktails, high balls and "1910 vintage" on the porches of any of the hundreds of yacht elubs that front the Atlantic from M.tinc to Florida. It is especially along the Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey Coast where the largest number gather daily, and especially during any of the trial races to witness the tests or sit about on the club porches ami gossip. And, take it from one who I. news, the gossip is not always about the sea. As an aside, speaking of gos sip, no bunch of women ever did so much small-talking about their neigh bors and supposed friends as did the little knots of rich old boys who tut on the porches of one of the exclusive elubs oft' which the Ueolute and Vani tie had one of their trial races one day a few weeks back. Interest Is Intense. There is evidence on every side of the great season of "sa!t water activi ty" the Atlantic Coast states ecr have known. Just uecause even one who finmo-np certainly. There most al ways is just before a fight of this calibre. Hut the only fruine-up, if any, will b, double crossing that each fight er will try to put over on the other one. .lust put it uown mat .hick .lonnson f n,liti mi ptli 30 32 cares about as much for that champion- ( (1imim.1 "s ; ship title as he does for both his eyes 1 j,,u 38 nun ins nvo legs. ins prnte in tne title is exactly like the pride of th average down south darkv of his alar - ing lodge regalia on parade. Jack Johnson, with a super-abundance of confidence and conceit, will I tote into that fight on June 27, every thing he has in the way of defence and punch.

Party strifo was forgotten at West minster this morning when legislators assembled in great numbers to witness the start of the first M. P. pigeon race in parliamentary history. The M. P. was Handel Booth, the vcrsntilo liber al member for Pontefract who offered a prize of $2.50 for every bird beating him from Westminster to his home town. The regular feathered denizens of Pal ace Yard were startled by a tremendous flutter of wings when, on the signal boing given, Starter Percy H. llling worth, Chief Liberal Whip, loosed the champion homing pigeons for York shire, and simultaneously Handel Booth ringed about the foot like his oppon ents, dashed off for King's Cross rail way station In a taxicab. Booth plan ned to" mako the journey by express train to Doncnstcr, and then by fajit automobile to Pontofrnet, in four hours. Last year when he matched Ponteeraft pigeons against those of Shipley, llling worth's constituency, the fastest time made was 3 hours, 50 minutes, but this was believed to be exceptional. The distance from London to Pontefract is about 172 miles. The birds were also competing for the honor of Pontefract and Otley, which latter place through its parliamentary representative Hast ings Duncan, challenged Booth's con stituents. Both XL P.s are giving prizes for tho first birds home in their re spective districts, and nil Bportiag Yorkshire is betting on the race. SALVADOR IS KINO. FIGHT DATE CHANGED. San Francisco, June 20. Cable ad vices received here today said that the 20 round bout between Champion Wil lie Ritchie and Fredie Welsh in London has been put over from Saturday night July 4 to the following Tuesday .night, July 7.

San Francisco, June 20. Sally Salva dor of Sacramento still retained today his crown as king of the local four rounders, but he had a narrow escape in last night's encounter with "Fighting Dick" Hyland, an old timer who has not appeared here in mora than three years and who was not figured" to have much of a chance against the speedy boxer who toppled Willie Hoppe from the short bout throne a week ago. Referoe Harry Foley called it a draw. After taking a volley of long range punches in the first round, Hyland sud denly floored Salvador with a left to the jaw. For the rest of the bout Sal vador was extremely careful and clinched whenever danger threatened. On points Salvador had a slight shade and Foley's decision was well recoived. Jimmy Fox showed great improve ment in his bout with Kid Lee of Bos ton, whom he defeated in four rounds. Lee floored Fox in the first round but Jimmy more than evened up in the third. Eddie Miller stopped Nate Kalb of Chicago in the fourth round. The other bouts resulted: Charlie Givens of Seattle knocked out Ray Rivers of Los Angeles in the third round. Sailor Schaeffer knocked out Bill Sloan in the first round. Ray Richardson deefated Kid Ford, a negro in four rounds. Tomy Reynolds stopped Billy Sim mons in a round, the police calling a halt. Young Sam Langford, negro, and To go Korayama, Japan, boxed a four round draw. CREW TAKES HIKE. Poughkecpsic, N. Y., June 20.

Jimmy Rea gan of San Francisco holds a decision today over Joe Getz, on eastern light weight, as a result of their fifteen round bout here last night. Reagan had a shade in every round and the decision was popular. Oetz was game, how ever, and never stopped trying, but Reagan was too fast and clever for him. 4 itnttttt)Mttw l .507 .507 i .501! .501) : mould Moran slip over a sleep producer.
