BOWLING
LOCAL MAN
 HAS LEAD Frank Beardsley Has the Best Average of Any of the Pin Killers.

With the third clash of the teams of the Connecticut Bowling league a new man comes to the fore, F. Beardsley of Waterbury, and easily leads all competitors in individual average. His three games of Tues day night netted him an average of 1906. Douglas of Bridgeport is a good second, having 1864 average for his nine strings.
 Many surprises are evident, Pull lam, last weeks leader, falling to twelfth position, and Beecher to sev- enth. Many averages show big in- creases, and on the whole the pin fall better in the last matches than in the previous two.
 Bridgeport now has three straight records, the high three single, high team total, nigh single team total, and present indications are that the high single will soon rest in that city.
 Following are the unofficial aver ages of the players:

THE PUGILISTS
BURNS WILL FIGHT JOHNSON
As Soon as He Returns From Europe He Will Tackle the
 Black One.

Los Angeles, Oct lO.-BefOre leaV- ing here for San Francisco on his way east, Tommy Burns made this statement to sporting editor of this city.
 My next fight in America will be with Jack Johnson. You may state definitely for me that if I do not meet the negro before my trip to England to box Gunner Moir, I will meet him on my return. I will sign with the club that offers the best in- ducements, providing my terms are met, and I prefer finish fight to a the smallest fight space allowed by the rules, sixteen foot ring, for ] want the black man where I can get him."
 By this declaration Burns has com mitted himself irrevocably to meet ing with Jack Johnson for the heavy weight championship of the world.
 The long awaited word has at last been spoken, and there are now no 'buts' and ifs" in the matter. The only proviso is that Tommy shall be assured purse of satisfactory size, and he has signifed that a $25,000 purse, offered by Jimmy Coffroth of Frisco, will meet with his approval, though as champion he will be given bonus in addition to his regular share of the purse.
 That Johnson will accept the match at almost any terms that will bring his opponent into the ring, is to be inferred from the loudness of the noise he has been making in an effort to commit Tommy to a prom ised match.
 In all probability the match will not be staged before the last of Jan uary, 1908.
 Coffroth has not made any at. tempt to get into communication with the champion, despite the grow. ing sentiment that Tommy could be prevailed upon to meet the black man, and it is presumed from this circumstance that he is awaiting a more favorable opportunity to put on the match
 Though the fact has been kept ar entire secret, Tommy Burns has beer in communication with Tex Rickard of Goldfield and Promoter May oi Reno regarding finish fight witt Johnson. It has been stated tha' Rickard is willing to raise $50,00( to hold the fight in Ely, and there iG & sood d chance that the battle may gt to one of the Nevada towns. Burns has expressed himself as much 1T favor of fight to the finish. and fol that reason the Nevada prospect i! pleasing to the champ.
 Forty rounds or better, and un limited contest, looks much better tc me than a twenty round fight" sait Burns. ''I know I have the negro; measure and I want to get into . ring that is small enough so that will not have to run continual foo race to keep within striking distance An unlimited battle will take the heart out of Johnson and I will bea him in most decisive fashion. Why that man hasn't any more heart thar | a chicken, and I will show him LII for a yellow dog when I get him 1T the ring"
 Burns has been in conference witt ! Tom McCarey endeavoring to come to an equitable agreement by whicl the fight may be held before the Pa cific Athletic club. McCarey can not, naturally, see his way to give |; purse that will compete with the Sal Francisco offer, and Tommy feel! that he has the chance of his life tt make his position repay his years O struggling to the top.

TWO NEGROES
Examined by Committee Which Is In.
vestlaatina Brownsville Case.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The senate
committee on military affairs, which
is investigating the Brownsville case,
examined two negro ex-soldiers and
partially completed the examination
of third this afternoon. There was
a slight discrepancy between the wit
nesses of the form of inspection
which followed the shooting on the
night of August 8. But the most
striking testimony came from Charles
Dade, the cook. Under the questioning
OF Senator Foraker he admitted that
there had been much discussion among
the members Of his company, d, over
the rioting. He said that the state
ment which the members of the COM
pany had signed and sent to the con-
stitutionsl league, was with a view
|of creating the impression that the
shooting had been done by the peo-
pie of Brownsville. He denied any
knowledge as to who had done the
shooting.
