JOHNSON TO HOOK
UP WITH SQUIRES

NEW YORK, March 6-Jack Johnson the
negro heavyweight. the only man In the
world whom Champion Jim Jeffries is be-
ieved to fear, has been matched to fight for
a purse and side bet that will total $50 900
with Bill Squires, champion heavyweight of
Australia. The match will take place at
Melbourne within six weeks.
Word was received in this city yesterday
afternoon to this effect, and the genuine
ness of the news is borne out by the fact
that the Australian champion failed to sail
for this country last month. He had been
offered fight in the west, and had agreed
to come here and fight any man that could
be induced TO meet him, not barring JEFF
fries.
The latter had expressed his willingness
to face the foreigner, fight for the
worlds championship seemed assured
Squires changed his mind on account of
Johnsons talk of Squires fear OF him. The
Australians friends told him everything
the colored man said. and the champion
made UP his mind to square accounts with
Johnson before sailing for San Francisco.
Billy Wrenn. the horseman and gambler,
is to promote the match. He has guaran-
teed $4,000 for the lighters end of the
money.

Every year you hear more or less of

that they shall not be heavier than 145
pounds.
This will be the second meeting between
these two fighters. In their previous en-
counter Melody was so badly beaten In the
eleventh round that his manager, Johnny
Mooney, threw up the sponge to save
Honey further punishment. Since then
Melody and his manager claim that Honey
was not in the best Of condition. Both
fighters are now in excellent shape. and
each is ready to fight the battle of his
life.
The men are considered to be so evenly
matched in this contest tnat neither Is
favoI'te. and the little betting that has been
done SO far has been at even money. New
York fight fans are generally of the opinion
that Thomas viii win, and they give as
their reason for this opinion that Thomas
turned the trick once and now has the
Indian sign on Honey.
Thomas in their last fight was much
cleverer than Melody. Then Joe smashed
his left IL TO Honey's face almost at will,
and when he saw chance nailed Melody
on the jaw with the right. But Honey has
improved greatly since then, and 1T is not
at all certain that Thomas can do now in
six rounds what it took him eleven to ac-
colnplish before. In this fight Melody has
the advantage in the weight, for he Is nat
Lraly lighter than Thomas.
The fight will not be for the welterweight
title Ever II Thomas should win by
knockout, he would have only the glory
of beating Melody and probably little
more of the receipts.

MISS CURTIS TO
PLAY GOLF ABROAD

NEW YORK, March 6.-Miss Harriet Cur
tbs OF Boston, the national woman golf
champion, will go abroad to compete in the
womens championship tournament of Great
Britain. which will begin at Newcastle.
Ireland, on May 9. The presence OF Miss
Curtis in the field will lend an international
flavor to the tournament and create IN
usual interest on both sides of the Atlantic.
Now that the champion has decided to
invade the foreign links it is expected that
others will follow. In fact, Miss Geor-
gianna Bishop. the national title holder In
1905, has arranged to sail for England about
the middle of this month, although her golf
movements are uncertain. The belief is
general that Miss Margaret Curtis, sister
of the champion, will also make the trip.
prominently identified witt the Women,s
Metropolitan Golf Association for several
years, is now abroad, but she is not likely
to play at Newcastle.
An American team of women golfers went
over in 1905 and competed in the British
championship at cromer. On the team were
the Misses Curtis, Miss Emily Lock wood
Miss Bishop Miss Mary Adams and Miss
1t, the Curtis sisters met in the third round
and Miss Margaret won by I'D and 2 to
play. In the fourth round the latter car
ried Miss Bertha Thompson to a 19-hole
match. Miss Thompson eventually won the
title. Miss Adams also made an excellent
showing getting as far as the antepenulti-
mate round. In the national championship
at Brae-Burn last fall Miss Adams was
runner-up to Miss Harriet Curtis
Miss Margaret Curtis has figured promi-
nently in American golf for the last ten
years. On two occasions the Essex county
woman was runner-up in national events
and in 1903 she played a twenty hole match
with Miss Rhona Adair at Philadelphia
Miss Adair was then champion of Great
Britain. Miss Curtis has the reputation of
being the longest driver among the Ameri-
can women.
The last time the open championship of
Great Britain was played over the links at
Newcastle was In 1889. when Miss May
Hezlet won. Mrs. Kennion- is the present
title holder. She won at Burnham last
spring defeating Miss Thompson in the
final round.

the veteran Kitson. but Cantilon looked so
good to me that l wanted to try one more

1t Is high time that the whole profession

unites to protest against the present exag-
