JOHNSON TRAINS
IN NOVEL STYLE
ROWS OUT TO SEA FOR HIS
DAILY PLUNGE
RUSSIAN HAS LEARNED TO HIT
STRAIGHT PUNCH
Lessons from Van Court Have Done
Wonders with Big Fellow, but
He May Forget Them
Tuesday

Big Battling Johnson. who is to bump
up against Jim Flynn at McCarey's
palace of fistcuffs Tuesday night, has
introduced a new stunt in the line of
training for fight. The Russian, who
was a sailor before he was stung with
the championship bee. takes boat and
rows out q couple of miles from his san
Pedro camp before he decides to an
chor. After the craft is fixed so 1t
can't get away, the Battler doffs his
garments and goes for swim. lie
splashes around in the deep until tired,
and then makes record trip getting
back to the dock in his two by four imi-
tation of barge.
According to Johnson there is nothing
like swimming to develope a man and
bring every muscle in his body into play
at the same time. Other fighters, most
of them in some division other than
the heavyweight, have tried surf bath
ing, but found that 1t impaired their
ability to knock on poundage and SO
gave it up. Bat has nothing to bother
him SO far as a particular amount of
meat on his frame Is concerned, and is
going to stick to his work and do as he
pleases.
Van Court was not on hand to direct
the Russians work yesterday, but
Johnson acquitted himself well any
how. He has learned to hit straight
from the shoulder, and if he doesn't
forget in the heat of battle what Van
taught him, Bat will refrain from the
wild swings which have always marked
his work in the local arena. Van Court
did not try and show him too much, so
the Battler should be able to keep his
noodle and fight in much improved
style.
Jim Flynn yesterday took on a pair
of amateurs who are training for the
fleet week show, and found he had
struck a couple of live ones. While the
boys did not know so much about the
stuff as the fireman they were game
and willing, and Jim was occupied in
protecting himself most of the time.
The Turk was also on hand, and a little
wrestling with the pride of the harem
made Flynn prespire freely and did him
world of good.
No preliminaries for the show have
yet been arranged. mainly because of
Manager McCarey's disgust toward the
local pork and bean colony. Mac has
not recovered from the treatment he re-
ceived Tuesday night, and If he has a
chance will import an entirely new lot
of curtain raisers to entertain the Cabin
patrons prior to the big events staged.

EVERYTHING IS READY
FOR BOXING TOURNEY
Bouts at the Chutes Will Begin at 9
o'clock in the Morning and
Terminate with Noon
Whistle

Dewitt Van Court and the commit
tee in charge of the marine sluggers
have announced their candidates for
the big show in the arena next week,
and from the looks of things the sail
orS and amateur mitt handlers are in
for a busy time. But few of the sea
dogs will don the pillows to battle for
the honor of their ship, but Van has
collected a busy aggregation to strive
for the land crab end of the honors.
The fleet championship will call out
Myers of the Ohio and Lulinski of the
New Jersey for the lightweight honors;
Compton, Louisiana, and Rollins, Ken
lucky, are the welters; Tighe, Ala
bama, and Trainor Vermont, call for
the middleweight stunt; Schlossberg,
New Jersey, and Alteri, Missouri, will
hold out the heavyweight plum; and
as an alternate should anything fail to
be doing among these, Fredericks,
Illinois, and Rafferty,, Alabama, will
perform the act.
The sailor bouts will follow those ar
ranged by Van Court for the local am
ateurs, and will be held at the Chutes
ball park every morning from $50
until noon. AS Uncle Sans men like
fight better than anything else, it is
expected that a bunch will fill the
grounds every morning and that siren

WEIGHT IS EASY
FOR THE BOXERS
MIKE TWIN TIPS THE BEAM AT
144 1-2 POUNDS
ToUPEELEss WONDER WILL GET
HIS MONEY BACK
Sullivan Apparently Strong at Weight
and Says He Intends to Fight.
Jimmy Gardner Not
Worrying

If a question of making the weight
is the only thing standing in Mike
Twin Sulllvan's way to a real fight
with Jimmy Gardner at Jeff's new
glove emporium the toupeeless wonder
will be there next week to give James
the time of his life. When he was
boosted on the platform yesterday af-
ternoon, after a strenuous period of
work on the road and in Jack Doyle's
gymnasium, Michael raised the beam
at 144b pounds, which is almost down
to the figure required on Thursday.
There is no chance of the Twins not
being there with the rest of the excess
meat in the discard. 1t appears that
the $500 deposited for weight and ap-
pearance when the fighters signed was
real money, and any time either one of
the Sullivans of Boston pass up any
thing that bears even a remote re-
semblance to the stuff made in Philly
or Moo Orleans it is time to call on
the national guards.
Mike was apparently strong yester-
day at the weight described by the
scales, and the only question remaining
is whether he will fight Gardner or try
for a decision through cleverness. The
rather see a scientific exhibition than a
reproduction of a packing house PAN
tomime, but they are not in the ma
jority and most of the bunch attending
fights want action, with lots of real
hitting and gore thrown in for back
ground.
Sully says he is going to fight, and
until it's I'll over his word for it will
have to be taken. He is kind of sore
at Gardner anyhow, and would like to
beat him up good if the chance isn't
too long The Twin will keep on with
his road work and boxing stunts until
Tuesday, when, if the weight condi-
tions permit, he will slow up and trust
to drying out to step on the scales at
142 pounds when the proper time ar
rives.
Dalton Works Hard
Gardner took to the road early yes
terday and did not tarry on the way
side any longer than was necessary.
In the afternoon he went after Kiddo
Dalton with the pillows and gave the
lad a rough trip over the three-round
course. Gardner is not worrying about
the weight and will devote all his eff
forts to acquiring increased strength
and lung power.
The new arena in Vernon is in read
mess to receive the lighters, ana the
only thing bothering Baron Long and
Jeff is how to inform the public as to
its proximity to the center of LIS An
geles. a trip in a machine. was made
yesterday afternoon in eight minutes,
and at that there was no looking be-
hind to see if the photor cop sneaks
were adding up the blocks on their
bum meters.
All the chairs in the big structure
are in place and Tom McCarey, who
was the guest of the Jeffries club on
the trip, was enviously inclined toward
the man who designed it.
Mac declared it an ideal place for
afternoon fights, and as Jeff and Long
intend to stage more of this variety
than the evening events the Vernon
emporium should prove a popular place
with the fans-if the right kind of bat
ties are put on.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2S.-After a bat
tie with local officials and posse,
two robbers escaped at Tower City,
in this county, early yesterday one
of the men is believed to have been
shot by the posse.
w. w. King, head OF mercantile
company there, recently had burglar
alarm system installed in his store
and connected with his house. He
was aroused by it at a. m. and sum-
moned officers and neighbors to help
him surround the store. Two men ap-
peared at the door and ran in different
directions after firing fusillade OF
revolver shots. Citizens returned the
fire and probably wounded one OF the
robbers, but evidently not seriously.
The robbers obtained little money.
They had tied up several hundred dol
lars worth of goods preparatory to re-
moval before they were surprised.

Well Brewed Postum Always PalatabIe

The favour of Postum, when boiled
according to directions, is always the
same-mild, distinctive, and palatable.
It. contains no harmful substance like
caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence
may be used with benefit at all times.

Postum about a year ago.
My husband and 1 have been so
well pleased that we have continued
to drink Postum ever since. We like
the taste of Postum better than coffee,
as 1t has always the same pleasant
favour, while coffee changes its taste
with about every new combination or
blend.
