GENERAL NEWS OF SPORT IWORLD
JOHNSON IS AIXIOUS
ALL THE BIG COLORED MAN WANTS
IS A CHANOE AT CHAM
PION JEFFRIES.
San Francisco, Nov. tz--A refusal or
two will not deter Jack Johnson, the col
ored heavyweight, from seeking a match
with Champion Jeffries. He is determined
to bring big Jim to time if such a thing is
possible.
In a talk with the writer a few days ago
Johnson said:
"I see by the papers I have been saying
a whole lot of things about JelTries. Some
of the remarks I am credited with will
not improve my chances of getting the
match. I wish you would give me a chance
to put my case before the sporting people.
What I have to say is this: I feel that
Jef'ries will fight me. He has been advised
by certain of his friends to draw the color
line, and I think he will accept my chal
lenge just as soon as he convinces himself
that the public believes I am the proper
mann to oppose him.
"1I would like to box Jeffries so rounds.
That is, I would Iake to sign articles for
the kind of match that has been recog
tized as a championship match ever since
men began to box with gloves for the title.
I will fight him under any conditions he
imposes. He can dictate all the terms.
,rThe only thing I will insist upon is that
the contest shall be for the championship
of the world.
"Now, I want to tell you why I believe I
can defeat Jeffries. It may look like toss
Ing bouquets at myself, but I do not think
the men Jeffries has been meeting are my
equals in the ring. I am tall, I weigh
over 8Bo pounds and I have plenty of
strength. I know Jeffries is a wonderfully
strong man, but so is Sam McVey, whom I
defeated recently at Los Angeles. McVey
*is a marvel of strength, anu he expected
to rough me in the clinches. I met him
at his own game and fought him all over
the ring. I believe I will be able to take
just as good care of myself with Jeffries
as I did with McVey. There are men talk
ing of me as a great fellow at long range,
and all that kind of thing, but the rank
truth of the matter is that infighting is
any long suit. I know that I can punch
hard and I am sure that I will hurt Jef
fries if we ever get together. I suppose
whoever suggested that I must meet him
in a finish fight thought to scare me off,
but while I don't care for a finish fight,
because you can't have an affair of that
kind in a big city where the money is, I
believe mly chances of becoming champion
of the world would be better in a finish
fight than in any other kind. The longer
1 go the better I get."
W\Vhile waiting tor Jeffries to make up
his mind Johnson intends to try and drum
up a match with the owner of the Fitz
simmons-Gardner affair. In the c'ourse of
a few days he will sound out the two men
for the purpose of ascertaining what his
chances are in that connection.
READY FOR DEER HUNTING
Many Sportsmen Are Expected to In
vade Upper Michigan Today.
St. Joseph, Mirh., Nov. tI.--.Mlnday marked
the opening of the deer season in Michigan,
and fromt now cn until the close of this month
the woods of the upper peninsula will be in.
vaded by thousands of hunters who journey
yearly to the northern pines to hunt.
The law permits each hunter, who is pro
tected by a state license, to kill three deer, and
it is expected the usual heavy slaughter will
result. Deer are reported unusually tame this
season, owing to the strict enforcement of the
game law during the last two years. There is
but. one discouraging feature of the deer-hunt.
ing conditions this year. Prospects for snow
seemt light and it has been predicted by
wenther.wise sportsmen where the deer are so
be found that the hunters this year will have
to rely on finding deer in runaways rather than
track hunting.
Protected by a heavy growth of underbrush
of lowlands, great numbers of deer during the
past season have been seen in the east end of
the peninsula. As good hunting grounds as
can be had are to be found this season In n Mar
quetic, ltaraga. Ontonagon and Dickinson
counties, lying further westward. Among the
outsiders who will invade Michigan woods this
fall will ibe Mayor Carter If. larrison of Clhi.
cago. Ife has tried his shand at hunting in
Dicklnson county before and nhas met with tno
little success. Mayor IHarrison has written to
a Negaunee friend, Joseph Winter, to procure
a license for him, stating that it was his inten.
tion to visit Northern Michigan on a hunting
expedition in the near future.

"I've seen many a funny play come off
in my time, but 1 think St. Paul holds the
medal for the scene of a queer one," said
Walter Wilmot the other day. "One
afternoon Mike Grady sent Dan I.ally
after a terrific fly. Dan chased the leather
clear to the fence, got his claws on the
ball, and then dropped it as he crashed
into the boards. Meanwhile Grady hustled
for second and reached there. Next morn
ing the official score failed to credit (;rady
with his two-bagger, and Lally escaped the
charge of an error.
"'Wot'ell kind of a funny business is
this score work?' asked Grady as soon as
he found the official bookkeeper. 'Where's
that hit I made yesterday?' 'Why, really,
Mike,' answered the O. S., 'I couldn't give
you a hit on that. l.ally got his hands
on it, and it wouldn't be fair, you know,
to the pitcher.'
"'But you don't give Lally any error,'
protested Grady.
"'No,' assented the keeper of the Saints'
record. 'lie was going pretty fast, and the
fence knocked the ball out of his hands.
I couldn't give himt an error for that.'
"'Well, if I don't get any hit and Lally
doesn't get any error,' snorted the puzzled
Grady, 'wotin the name of Jim Crow do
you call it?'
"'That is what I call an "accidental
play' " was the startlingly original solu
tion of the problem given by the St. Paul
man."

very exalted opinion of the British scrap

course, cleaned up a nice bunch of coin
and had a good time besides. lie is one
of the smartest boxers in the business, and
his earnings from the ring are planted
away in the proper place. The English
sports, always ready to give credit where
credit is due, declare Jack to be the hest

ROOSEVELI BOARD
HAD NO AUTHORITY
ANTHRACITE STRIKE COMMISSION'S
RULINGS ARE NOT BINDING
FOR EITHER SIDE.
FIRST LEGAL DECISION IN
Pennsylvania Coal Company Refuses to
Pay Wages Alloted by Commission
and Goes Up to Court.
BY ASOCIATEl.) PRESS.
Sunbury, Pa., Nov. Is.--Justice Auten
has rendered an opinion in which he de
cides that in the eyes of the law the
decision of the anthracite strike commis
sion is not binding on either the miners
or the operators. This is the first legal
decision on the subject.
The matter was brought before the
court by the Llewellyn Mining company.
The company refused to pay back wages
allotted by the strike commission, and the
miners of the Royal Oak colliery brought
suit before Justice of the Peace Lloyd for
the wages.
The justice gave judgment in favor of
the miners.
The company then began mandamus pro
ceedings against Justice Lloyd and the
court decided in favor of the company.
afterwards demonstrated his superiority
over Root, and earned a decision over
Walcott, and the only man he has yet to
face to clean up his good record of the
past is Jack Johnson. The later had an
advantage of many pounds in weight when
he fought Gardner, and it is the opinion
of many that George can whip Johnson
any day in the week at equal weights.
However there will be no need of his
whipping Johnson if he can put it on Bob
Fitzsinmnons. Second-raters have stood
off Jefferson while Fits has cleaned up
all the big men of the ring with the ex
ception of Champion jim Jeffries.
Gardner has won every fight he has
taken part in since he lost to Johnson at
San Francisco a year ago. le whipped
Jack Root in 17 rounds at Silt Lake, Hilly
Stift in Chicago in six rounds, Kid Carter
at Chicago in six rounds, Al \Weinig at
Boston in six rounds, Peter Maher in Phil
adelphia in one round, Marvin Hart at
Louisville in it rounds, and Jack Root at
Fort Erie in ma rounds.
"I have Just received word that Billy
hMurphy is out on the Pacific coast," re
marked an old-time friend of the erratic
Australian the other night. "Wonder
what poor old Bill is going to do out
there? Fight, I guess. lie will not give
up the ganme until they put himn in his
coffin. How well I remember Murphy

intgs. He lived in a boat down on the bay,
and took particular pride in calling it
'Murphy's Ark.' Most of the time he had
'Iron Man' Burge as his companion, and
sonime of the funny things that happened on
that old houseboat would make a mule
laugh. Murphy firing on a party of ladies
and gentlemen out in a pleasure boat,
thinking they were pirates, was only a
trifling incident compared with other hap
penings during the time he was there.
One night Bill woke up and went to the
window to see what the weather prospects
were for the next day. There was but
one window in the ark, and the wind had
blown the craft around so that the win
dow side, which usually faced the shore,
looked out on the bay. Bill hunted for
the window, and when he discovered it he
could see no land. 'lIi, Burge,' he
shouted, 'the bloody ark is out at sea and
we are floating over to China.'
"Another night Bill woke up and
started down to the ice chest for a bottle
of ale. Burge had forgotten to close the
trapdoor in the floor of the boat, and while
wandering around in the dark Bill fell
through the door into the water. Ili
cries for help brought Hurge to the rescue,
and pulled Murphy out just in time to
save his life.
"'That's a fine bloody affair,' roared Bill
at the top of his voice. 'A cellar with
out any steps is worth a man's life to
step into it. I came near losing iste head
trying to find out whether I had walked
into a bloomin' bath tub or the l'Pacific
ocean.' "
BRIEF SESSION IN
FIRST DEPARTMENT
JUDGE HARNEY HEARS A FEW CASES
AND THEN DISMISSES THE
JURY FOR THE DAY.
SEVERAL CASES VACATED
Others Are Not Ready for Trial-Morley
& Thomas Co. vs. Neer Dismissed,
Plaintiffs Paying Costs.
Judge iHarney had a brief session of court
this morning in which he very speedily trans.
acted a good deal of business without calling
upon his jury. The result was that at 1o:30
o'clock the jury panel was excused for the
day, and had not been required to lift a hand.
Most of the cases before the court, small
litigation from the justice courts, were dis.
posed of upon defaults. Therefore, when the
six cases set down for trial today were ail
cleared away and the smoke of battle had
arisen from the forum, the court said with a
smile:
"\V'ell, gentlemen, we are disposing of about
six cases a day, even If the jury does not have
to work."
Their Labors O'er.
The jurymen returned the smile, smile for
smile, and then tile court told them they could
come around tomorrow at so a. mn. and the
day's work was done and their $j apiece was
earned.
The cases upon the trial calendar for today
were as follows:
The Morley & Thomas Company against J.
M. Neer; J. iiolberg against George Woody;
Frank and W. S. Giverson against William
IBray; William J. Killen against Ignatius Don.
nelly, and Lee Davenport and J. W. Kimball,
doing business as Davenport & Kimball,
against J. I. Trerise as administrator of the
estate of G. W. Kingsbury, deceased.
In the case of the Morley & T'homas cotls.
pany against Neer, the case was dismissed and
the costs taxed to the plaintiffs, who failed to
appear and prosecute the action.
Cases Vacated
The court said that the case of the Giber
sons against IBray had been vacated heretofore.
The same thing had happened in the case of
Killeen against Donnelly,
The case of Davenport and Kimball against
Trerise as administrator, was vacated by stipu.
lation.
In the case of ITolherg against Woody, the
court said that the plaintiff had stated that he
had been deserted by his attorney, and was

Thle drayman said nothing, but left the
r:!hbits. There were scores of thenm; big
