To MEET
JOHNSON
ARTICLES ON WAY TO BE SIGN
ED FOR BATTLE JULY
FOURTH.

Mike Schreck and Jack Johnson
win meet in Tonopah on the Fourth
of July. A telegram was read at the
ringsfde yesterday from the colored
fighter, challenging the winner. He
added that all that was necessary to
make the match was to forward the
articles to him, and that he would
sign them; so that the match is prac-
tically made
Johnson has been trying to get on
match with all the heavyweights.
but one after the other, they have
been side stepping him. He sailed
across the ocean to fight Bill Squires,
and then sailed back again, only to
find that Squires was going to fight
Burns. The latter fight comes off on
the Fourth in San Francisco, and
the winner of it will be bound to
meet the winner Of the fight which
takes place here ON the same day or
forever hold his piece with regard to
the championship.
Barney Reynolds, Squires mana
ger, who saw yesterdays fight, is
anxious to get a match with Schreck,
and he and Hogan, Schreck's mana
ger, have already had a preliminary
talk.
''Of course, said Reynolds, 81
want to fight where / can get the best
inducements for my man, and /
would like to fight Schreck in Tono-
pah, for l observe that he is a great
favorite here, and after his perform
ance of today, am more anxious
than ever for the meeting. l never
saw better heavyweight fight any
where. There were more blows
struck in one round than in the
twenty rounds between Burns and
O'Brien in Los Angeles
''I think that Schreck and Squires
will come together" said Manager
Hogan last night, "and / think that
the fight win take place in Tonopah.
I have shown Mr.. Reynolds that by
the railroad records only 260 people
came to the Gans-Nelson fight from
the outside; and that was the biggest
house ever known in the history of
the ring. This goes to show that Ne
vada is the state for the fight loving

into Schreck, only to be beaten back
again until he broke ground, and
Schreck had him again on the ropes.
The audience was on its feet, yelling,
cheering, shouting frantically, ex-
pecting every second to see Hart go
down and out. But above the din
was heard the gong after 1t had been
rung FIVE times, and Hart was car
ried back to his corner saved, but a
wreck.
Hart struggled manfully in the
closing round, and landed on the
body with his right. That must have
been the blow that settled him, and
put his right out for all time. But
Schreck was after him with right and
left, and Hart clinched. The men
were broken, and as they were squar-
ing for the fray, the towel came into
the ring from Hart's corner.
DR.. Mapes, the clubs physician,
made an examination Immediately af-
ter the fight. Later, he said that
three of the metacarpel bones in the
right hand had been broken in his
fight with Gardner three years be-
fore. and that the member had been
injured two days before the fight.
Hart had kept this knowledge
from the public said DR.. Mapes,
"and also from me until just before
the fight. He had adhesive plasters
on his hand which was about the
only thing that he could have done
He says that the member began to
bother him again in the sixth round
and that everytime he landed with
his right he suffered intense agony
Il can readily understand the
punishment he must have suffered
outside of that administered to him
by Schreck He fought until his

TRIPLE SHOOTING
OCCURS AT RENO

RENO, May 30.-A triple shooting
occurred here last night in the Pal
ace saloon. Because George Sher.
man, proprietor of the Palace grill,
refused to wait upon a drunken
stranger, the latter turned a gun up
on him, shooting him in the head
r. w. Mitchell, proprietor of the sa-
loon, who, with Sherman. attempted
to eject the stranger, was shot in the
mouth. The would-be murderer then
shot himself in the head.
All three wounds are dangerous,
but not necessarily fatal, and it is
said that all three men will recover.

fought him into his (Schreck's) cor
ner, and swatted him with left and
right on each ear.
Schreck was there with bells, but
the bells we're in his ears He heard
bands of music playing, and they
were playing funeral dirge. He saw
dozen Harts in the ring and didn't
know which one to clinch. If Hart
had only known that and gone after
his man, there would have been an
other championship grave on which
to lay flowers. But Schreck man
aged to stall until the gong banged
out it's welcome note. 1t was a close
call. as Schreck will tell you.
1t was all off with Hart after that
lost chance to send Schreck back to
Germany. The big Dutchman was
mauled a bit in the next round. but
Hart was not doing so much damage,
and then Schreck opened up a set of
swings that resembled walking
beam in motion, and forced Hart to
the ropes, beating him numerically
about the head and body.
In the twentieth round, notwith-
standing the punishment he had re-
ceived. Hart came game to the
scratch. Up to this time Schreck had
him apparently whipped three times,
but he was always coming back for
more, and getting It, That twentieth

CHICAGO, May Cornell's

quarters of a length this afternoon
in thrilling two-mile race over

ever seen anywhere else. 1t was a
fight from the start, and the men
had hardly finished fighting when
the sponge was thrown into the ring
Johnson and Brown have certainly
kept faith with the public, and have
sustained the reputation of Tonopah
for fair and square fighting. There
may have been seen fights where
more science was displayed, but for
fierce and clean fighting. the palm
must be yielded to the heavyweight
contest of yesterday.
There were between $500 and
1000 people at the ringside, and the
disappointment of the battle royal
was in measure overcome by the
good time that the crowd had while
waiting for the big event.

two men who had up to this time
fought the hardest. gamest and
Cleanest fight ever witnessed, had
just broken from a fierce rally, and
we're facing each other, apparently
ready for continuance of hostillties,
when to the surprise of everyone. the
towel was thrown into the ring from
Hart's corner.
For a moment the big audience
was dumhfounded. then there was 4
roar OF disapproval that shook the
big arena of the Casino Athletic club.
Nobody could understand the move.
The crowd began to serve into the
ring, and Promoter Johnson was In
the van trying to make himself heard
to the effect that Hart had broken
bis hand. Finally this intelligence
got beyond the ropes, and 1t was re-
peated from lip to lip, and the crowd
began slowly leaving the pavilion
with expression to the effect that
everybody had had run for his
money, and the fight was one of the
best that had ever been seen in any
ring.
II was indeed great fight. There
may have been more scientific con-
tests witnessed, but there never was
"a more spectacular fight seen any
where. It was hard to follow the
blows, they fell so thick and fast.
Marvin Hart was making the fight of
his life, and Mike Schreck was up
against the hardest game that he had
ever struck in his life.

effect Of the auto on good roads. on
that point the Chicago Evening Post
has this TO say:
.'On the north shore they are com.
planning that the traffic OF swiftly
speeding automobiles Is wearing out
the pavements. Il Is sal that the
Sheridan road and even the well
paved Ridge road are in constant
state of disrepair which cannot be per-
manently remedied.
THAT there is some Justice in
charging this unpleasant state Of
affairs upon the auto is shown by q
recent dispatch to the New York
Herald. In the dispsch two motor
lists gave the result OF their personal
experience on the famous highways of
France. We found the roads from
Havre to Paris they said to be full
of ruts. holes and loose stones The
truth of the matter is that the enor-
nous automobile traffic on the princi.
pally Travelled routes Is making Il ex-
|ceedingly difficult TO keep them in

purposes, no less than the heavy
limousines so much affected by the
French wear down the macadam and
oH mp the surface so much that the
delightful French roads the tourists
have been led to expect. and indeed
as they we're a few years ago, no
longer exist
"1f the wonderful road system of
France cannot stand the onslaught of
the motor, we need not feel dis our

county. But some solution must be
found for this new and perplexiHg

1T appears to be much the same
situation as that presented by the
never-ending contest between the
maker of armor plate and the maker
OF guns and projectiles. As soon as
we find a pavement able to resist
modern vehicle traffic a new kind of
vehicle Is invented to wear out tnat
pavement. 1t is now up to the pave
ment maker"

This promises TO be a year of big

Million dollar fines are becoming

One OF the latest fines is that OF the

Texas antitrust laws. A few years
ago these fines might have fallen
under the restriction OF the United
States constitution against cruel and
unusual punishments and excessive
fines, but these are days OF progress
and the fine limit appears TO have
climbed into the progressive band

Where will the government OF Okla.

statehood?
There Is one very clear proposition
and that is that Oklahoma Is not at

governed.

cerned, 1t has furnished a case of
open violation OF the very first prin-
ciple of liberty for eighteen years.
