PIGEONS WIN RACE.
Baseball
By Uul Sheridan.
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.

Al Met oy will have to do his "cham
pioning" in some other part of the
couutry than New York. Technically
he holds the middleweight title, but it
is doubtful if many New York fight
! fans would pay to see him perform in
j view of his two recent bouts here with
, 11:1 lv Murrnv, His onlv chance is to
go west and hunt for newer ami greener
pastures.
According to cable advices from Aus
tralia, Arthur Pelkey, the heavyweight
who gained temporary fame by beating
1 Luther Me arty in a punch at Calgary;
('hurley Hoin, a California heavyweight,
and Montana Dun Sullivan are on their
i way home. All three fighters, who

l Hums, failed to make good. Kach was
. knocked out at least once.
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.

Western League
London, June 20 Three pigeons beat
Handel Booth today in his race from
Westminster to l'ontcfrnct, his home
town.
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. The change was at the sug
gestion of the promoters, who figured
that many persons who might other
wise atend the show would be working
on Saturday night.
The same dispatches reported that
Gunboat Smith and Georges Carpcntier
had depoaited $5,000 each as a guaran
tee for their 20 round bout, which is
now set to take place at Olympic, Lon
don, July 16. It had been reported that
Smith and Carpenticr would meet in
the ring June 24.
COLORADO DERBY TODAY.
Denver, June 20. For the first time
in, four years the Colorado Derby, the
principal stake event of all race meet
ings at Overland Park for years will
be run at Overland this afternoon. The
management has offered a purse of
$2,000 for the event, tho distance being
one mile and a quarter. The record for
this event is 1:51 2-5, made by Meadow
in 1910, the last time the Derby was
run.
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.

negro in four rounds.

mons in a round, the police calling a
halt.

go Korayama, Japan, boxed a four
round draw.
CREW TAKES HIKE.

sity of Washington varsity eight, an-

nounced today tnat irom now umu ma
intercollegiate regatta next week he
probably would put the crew through
rowing practice twice a day, the same
as the other oarsmen entered in the
big race.
The weather was frosty tnis morn
ing, with a stiff west wind blowing,
which kicked up white combers on the
Hudson. Syracuse, Wisconsin, Colum
bia, Cornoll and Washington took ad
vantage of favorable eonditionB last
evening and remained on the water un
til dusk. Instead of venturing out this
morning, Conibear took the. Washing
ton crew for a long hike. A stiff
workout was planned for this afternoon.
REAGAN GETS DECISION.
Jackson, Cal., 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.

Johnson nlso knows and realizes that
if he goes in and fights like the llig
Hln.k that humbled Jeffries at Ki'no,
and wins, he will have it said of him in
spite of his disgusting morality, or
rather lack of it, that he is a grand
fighter. For that much of his make up
fight lovers will hold admiration. Once
more take the tip that Jack Johnson
will fi.'ht with all that's in him.
