HART AND JOHNSON
TO MEET TOMORROW
Jeffries Hardly Dodging
Fighting Winner.
NEGRO Is EXTRA CAUTIOUS
Takes Few Chances in His Bouts, and
Will Be Favorite in
Betting.
NEGRO IS EXTRA CAUTIOUS

"A Fight for a Home Marvin Hart s
battle with Jack Johnson might be
called.
Inc Kentuckian must win or expatri-
ate himself. Unless he drops the Cali
fornia negro tomorrow, or at least gets
the decision. he has promised never to
return to Louisville
1t is by no means sure that the Ken
lucky metropolis Will have It's population
depleted by the loss Of the big plumber.
Johnson Favorite.
Johnson will undoubtedly go into the
ring favorite. and viii enjoy a big
advantage in height, weight and reach,
but there Is nothing in the records of
the two men to give the negro any right
to expect walk-over.
For a big man Johnson is about the
most timid fighter who has ever ap-
peared This does not mean that he is
cowardly and wouldn't stand the gaff
If he had to. This II it has never been
put to the test. The criticism Is based
on the fact that the Westerner doesn
like TO mix it.
Negro Clever.
There are not many cleyerer big men
| in the ring today than Johnson. He
uses his long arms with marked skill
to keep an opponent away, and no ex-
citement. no virtual certainty of vic
tory. will beguiIe him into wading in for
knockout
Hart is exactly the opposite. The
kentuckian isn't clever. He seldom
goes into the ring in good condition
and any moderately good man can land
on him often and hard. But Hart likes
this. He is at his best when the going
is most furious. He can hit knockout
blow with either hand. and is SO ag-
greSSiVe that any man he is against
never gets much rest.
Hart Once Knocked Out.
Hart's record is marred by only one
knockout. When he was just breaking
into the game, the Louisville man went
down and out in the first round from q
lucky swing landed by Wild Bill Han
rahan. He has stopped Tommy West
Dan Creedon, Billy Stiff, and Kid Car
| ter.
! Johnson has never been stopped. His
| best knockout victories were over Jack
Jefries, k1ondike, Sam McVey and
Denver Ed" Martin
! Such easy marks as Hank Griffen
Pete Everett. Frank ,Childs.. and Sandy
! Ferguson have all been able to last
with the Los Angeles man 20 the limit
| of fifteen and twenty-round bouts, some
OF them two and three times This IL
| lustrates the extreme caution he en-
ploys.
Dope Shows Little.
Hart and Johnson have met number
of the same men. Both have twenty
round draws with Sandy Ferguson.
Johnson got decision over George
| Gardner in twenty rounds Hart had TO
stop in the twelfth round OF his bout
| with the Lowell man. because of a
| broken hand. Stiff drew in ten rounds
with the negro; Hart put BILLY" away
I in three.
1t will be seen from this that the
dope gives neither man a marked ad-
vantage.
In the winner of tomorrow nights
battle should be found an opponent for
| Jeffries. If Hart lands the big end OF
| the purse a battle for the champion
| ship is a certainty. Should Johnson
| trounce Hart decisively it is hard to
see how Jeffries, with a number OF
| fights with eolored men on his record
| could decline 10 take him on

These remarks were made yesterday
afternoon by Young Corbett'' to a
number of admiring friends who had
journeyed to his training quarters at
Pimlico. Confidence was written all
over the Denver kids face, and his ad-
mirers firmly believe that he will do
what he says

better now than he ever did. Their. be-
lief is that the Denverite realizes he

gain the good graces Of the pugilistic
public the Western boy Will have to
finish up a number of the aspiring
youngsters now before the public.

Among these, Kid Sullivan might be
prominently mentioned. The Washing
ton boy has forced his way to the top
among the boxers of his weight. and a
victory over him will be a good start
for the boy who lowered his colors
before the famous battling Dane.
That Corbett is determined to carry
out what he says is evidenced by the
conscientious training that he is going
through at his Pimlico camp. His road
work yesterday was ferce-as an ad-
mirer expressed it-and with Otto
Kiefer, the well-known trainer, he COW

figured in the days program. In a word,
1t might be said that Corbett is fit
right now to enter the ring and go the
route.

Hard Luck of Connolly

SteepIechase Rider Has Had Remarkable
Career of Ill Fortune, But Wooden Broke
Hoodoo-Gets Cigars for Winning.

of fortune managed to go the course
The sight of Connolly bringing his sad
ole over his arm to the scales to be
weighed in almost unnerved Mr. Crick-
more, who gave the rider cigar. That
was the first encouragement Connelly
had received in many days, and as the
offer Of a cigar for every time he nm
ished the course was standing one
Connelly'S fellow riders grew accustom-
ed to seeing him smoke perfectos on
SteeplechaSe days.
The middle of last season the rider
decided that he had a half-nelson on
the fll-fortune that had held him in its
grasp SO long and branchea out as q
trainer of steeplechasecs. Al friend had
purchased for a small sum the horse
Wooden, who had been thrown into the
discard by one of the big stables. Con-
nelly was trainer and rider and took
| second money the first time the horse
started in a erlechaSe. Before the
race Connolly had offered the horse for
$500 and afterward he jumped the price
TO 81, 200.
He went along with Wooden, getting
a share of the money, now and again,
until the meeting here last fall. Here
the horse won a race and Connolly re-
tired for the winter all puffed up with
the consciousness that ne had trained
and ridden steeplechaser that had
| won more than $1,000 in real money.
Wooden was his meal ticket and Con-
| the severe winter. He brought him TO
| Benning eight weeks age, and had set
| his heart on winning the first time out
| of the box. He not only won, but Con-
RELY rode q race no one believed him
| capable of, and showed such skill and
| judgment in the handling OF his mount
| that his services are apt to be in de-
| mand.
Best of all. he started the season
without a broken bone, and feels that
| the hoodoo is now gone and that. he has
again wormed his way into the favor OF

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

There was no more interesting incident
of Saturdays racing than the awaken
ing of Connolly. All who have paid close
attention to steeplechasing for the last
few years know Connolly, who is famil-
iarly addressed as Jack Rose"
Connellys career as a cross-country
rider dates back for many years, but
in all that time never did he ride such
a race as on Wooden in the open steeple-
chase Saturday, and if Mr.. Crickmore
does not give him a whole box of cigars
he will not be doing the right by Con-
nelly. The Crickmore cigars have been
a strong incentive to Connolly Of late,
and it is to his desire to accumulate a
bunch of them that his awakening is
probably due.
Connolly is a sort of turf Mark Tap

1t was about three years ago, after
winning a race at Benning, that Con-
nelly learned that for a surety
fortune had wings. Possibly the rider
was too much puffed over that victory,
but at any rate the capricious dame
withdrew her favors entirely. Try as
he might Connolly could do nothing
right. He was congratulated when he
returned to the paddock without having
sustained a fall, but the opportunities
for congratulation did not come after
AS a rule he was bandaged up some
where and almost every bone in his
body was fractured in the two years
that followed his success at Benning.
