KAUFMAN AND JOHNSON
IN ELIMINATION SERIES
MEET FRIDAY MIGHT in FIRST OF BIG Battles
Promoter Decides to Weed Out List of Candidates
for Championship by Bringing Them together
at Maud Junction, Winner Of Finals to Be
Matched with Tommy Burns for Active
Title Offers $1,000 Belt to Victor
BY JAY DAVIDSON

afternoon, when he will be visited by a
delegation of fans and admirers.
Manager Gaines moved his big scrap
per from San Pedro to Santa Monica
because he believes it will be cooler
there and is giving him a few hours
rest in pursuance of the plan to keep
him from OVERRIDING himself In his
training camp. johnson is inclined to
do too much work and is difficult to
control, so it came in handy for Gaines
to decide upon changing from San
Pedro to Santa Monica, as then he
could force johnson to take the rest
that it is believed he needs at this
time.
Kaufman has a corps of trainers
and sparring partners on duty at his
camp and this force will be increased
tomorrow by the arrival of Sailor Cor
don, who is coming from San Francisco
to put in the final days of work with
the native son scrapper. Abdul the
Turk, Billy Morris and other local
fighters will be on duty at the Venice
camp this afternoon and will box with
the big boy.
There is one pleasing prospect In this
match that probably overshadows all
others. 1t is that both smuggling fighters
will be engaged In a test battle that
should prove beyond all doubt whether
either has the class claimed for them
as championship possibilities and that
their fight practically will be to fin
ish, although limited to ten rounds.
Neither belongs to that class known
as the clever division, although Kauf-
mann makes some pretensions to box
ing occasionally.
Both are terrific wallpapers and while
both are fast on their feet, game and
willing to take punishment, if neces-
sary, to win, they are so evenly
matched in every way that the scrap
should end easily within the ten-round
limit. Neither will attempt to avoid
the issue AS the hopes of each depend
upon ability to land and not upon the
ability to box for points, as neither
would know point if he should see
one.
Hereafter, for several months to
come, there will be large doings in the
major class at Maud Junction, as the
Kaufmann-Johnson scrap is only the
first of the long series of elimination
semi-finals and McCarey will feature
the big boys at his club for all near
future big shows.

ENGLISH TEAM ANNEXES
SEVEN MORE VICTORIES
ARE MAKING RUNAWAY RACE in OLYMPIC GAMES
America Wins One Gold Medal, Martin Sheridan
Breaking World Record in Discus Throw, Greek
Style, Putting 1t 1913 Feet 8 Inches, and
M. F. 1Om of New York Is Second

stroke swimming, the 50O0-meter cy-
cling, the 100 kilometer cycling, the tug
of war and the five-mile fiat race.
The only two other events decided.
the discus throwing, Greek style, and
the fancy diving, went to America ana
Germany, respectively, but America ac-
complished two things today of which
her supporters are extremely proud. In
the first place, Martin J. Sheridan of
the Irish-American club, broke all pre-
Vious records with the discus at this
style of throwing, making distance
of 1913 feet 8 inches, while M. r. Horr
Of the same club was second, also with
a record breaking throw of 122 feet 51s
inches.
The other accomplishment, of which
all the athletes were talking, was the
subject of J. L. Eisele of the New York
A. c. in getting the place in the 800
meter steeplechase. America never had
any idea of scoring in this event, par
ticularly since Eisele had run three
of the hardest races during the week.
He was the only American who COM
peted with the Englishmen IN the dis
lance runs, and in each race he had to
fight against odds, being handicapped
on one occasion by having several Eng
lishmen pitted against him. Further,
he had suffered greatly with an injured
foot. Just little more stamina and a
little more luck ana BlSele would nave
captured some of the distance events
for America. AS it was he ran a splen-
did, plucky race.
There were four of the United King
dom team, Russell, Robertson, Hollo-
way and Sewell, in this event, In addi-
ton to Eisele, and Galbraith, the last
named representing Canada. The Eng
lishmen took turns in trying to wear
down the two others and succeeded in
doing so with Galbraith. but Eisele held
on despite a nasty fall at the water
jump in the first lap and managed to
annex third place well up.

DRIVER ANTS.
rne Way These Ferocious Little In-

There are certain ants that show
wonderful intelligence, and the driver
ants" not only build boats, but launch
them TOO. only these boats are formed
OF their own bodies.
They are called drivers" because OF
their feroclty. Nothing can stand be-
fore the attacks of these little crea-
lures. Large pythons have been killed
by them in a single night, while chick
ems, lizards and other animals in west
ern Africa fee from them in terror.
To protect themselves from the heat
they erect arches, under which numer-
Gus armies Of them pass in safety.
Sometimes the arch Is made of grass
and earth and Is gummed together by
some secretion, and again it Is formed
by the bodies of the larger ants, which
hold themselves together by their
strong nippers while the workers pass
under them.
At certain times of the year freshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
drivers" and it is then that these ants

and the walls of their houses are
broken in by the food; but instead of
coming to the surface in scattered hum
dreds and being swept off to destruo'
ton, out of the ruins rises a black
ball that rides safely on the water and
drifts away.
At the first warning of danger the
little creatures run together and form
a solid body of ants, the weaker In the
center. Often this ball is larger than
common cricket ball, and In this way
they float about until they lodge
against some tree, upon the branches
of which they are soon safe and sound.

A sort of opium is obtained from the

q long name, which no doubt means
something very learned and profound,
and declare that they find important
differences between the, opium of the
lettuce and the opium of the poppy,
but for all practical purposes the one
Is identical with the other. Many a

lettuce the greater the sleepiness, for

No humbug claims have to be

that more bottles of Foley's Honey
