NEGRO FIGHTERS
LAY IDLE WHILE
WHITES GET COIN
Cans and Johnson Have to Wait
for Pleasure of "C0lOr
Line Drawers.

Just at present a pair of dark COM
plected gents are clouding the pugistic
horizon, one wearing a championship
crown, the other considered the proper
candidate for the title in his class The
fighters in question are Joe Cans, the
undisputed lightweight champion, and
Jack Johnson, the "BlacE Demon"
whom most of the big fellows have
lodged behind the wornout excuse,
drawing the color line"
These Gold Dust twins are also re-
garded as the champion takers in the
fighting game. Few fighters, If any
have figured in as many ''queer" fights
as Cans and Johnson. That is one
reason why they have to- use field
glasses in searching for opponents.
Barring that ugly defect, they have
won deserved renown in the roped
arena.
owen Moran, the English scrapper
who fought twenty-five rounds to a
draw with Abe Attell, while in this
city last week expressed the opinion
that johnson could whip any fighter in
the business, Jeffries included.
Johnson is probably the most feared
man in the heavyweight class today,
but, glancing back upon the negro's
record, ono fails to find much evidence
as to the cause for this general scare
Johnson has won thirty-nine fights,
but in only seventeen of that number
his opponent was laid low by knock

Kentuckian, who was later knocked
out by Tommy Burns. and got only
draws in fights with Young Peter Jack
son and such lesser lights as "Klon-
dyke Hank Griffin, Billy Dunning and
Joe jeanette.
The BLACK Demon stopped old Bob
Fitzsimmons in the second round of
fight at Philadelphia last year, and
won from George Gardner, but failed to
put away Jack Munroe and Sailor
Burke in limited-round bouts. Still
there is hardly fighter in the ring to-
day who is eager to stand in ring
with Johnson.
The fight fans are eagerly awaiting
a clash between Burns and Johnson.

for the match, and is not positively

livan polished off Palmer in ten rounds
with consummate ease. There is no
reason to believe that Burns will take
a longer time to the job.
over in Great Britain they look on
Tommy as a simon pure champion of
the world He has told them himself
that all the heavyweight honors be-
long to him, and his defeat of Gunner
Moir gives him the added lustre neces-
sary. On this side of the pond Burns
is admitted a clever bruiser, but is not
rated for moment alongside of John
L. Sullivan, Jim Corbett. Bob F'itzsiin-
mons or James j. Jeffries. The crop
of heavyweights being short, Tommy
slipped one over. And until he has
made good with dusky Jack Johnson
he will never be able to convince the
American sporting public that he is the
best heavyweight now before the pub

BURNS LINGERS In LEMON
ORCHARD TO PICK OFF PALMER

Tommy Burns, that most astHte
money-getter of modern commercial
pugilism, is going TO pick up more small
change in London on Monday night.
Jack Palmer, premier among the prize
pickings sent here from Britannia 10
grab championship, is party of the
second part.
There is always an ''if" in any line
of sports. Perhaps that is what the
English are trading on in this match.
If Burns should break leg; if Palmer
should catch the willy Tommy unawares
with a haymaker; If the American
should suddenly be struck with palsy
or some other equally unfortunate and
unexpected 'if'' should occur, the
championship might tarry on the other
side for a brief space-just long
enough for any one of dozen boxers
now before the public here to inveigle
Palmer into another bout.
Twenty rounds at Wonderland are
called for in the articles of agreement.

Had the National League paid the
same salaries in the old days that the

ber of players who are still in the game
could rate their riches in five figures.
As it is, it is doubtful if there are
more than one or two who can turn
that trick when making an inventory
of their assets. A lot of them can
plead guilty of being worth anywhere
from $4,000 to $25, 900, however, and it
is thought that mighty strong team

richer than that Have a look at this

1t will be seen that all but three of

ball war the stars of the National

Condemning His own.

In the stereotyped speech that
Louis Bennett, Democratic party can
didate for governor is delivering, he
displays an unfamiliarity and ignor-
ance of the states fiscal affairs that
might be excused on the part OF a
man who is not a candidate for a
high and responsible public trust.
Alleged extravaganza OF the legisla-
lures of 1907 and 1908 is ] subject
upon which Mr.. Bennett in his
speech harps much, presenting an In
dictment against the Republican SEN
ators Of those two sessions, which,
presented by him, is more embarras-
sing to the Democratic senator's than
the Republicans. Especially must II
be humiliating to Adam Littlepage, a
state senator who was defeated by
Bennett for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation and who, after he had charged
the Bennett managers with buying
delegates. was put on the ticket as a
candidate for secretary of state as a
consoling salve to the wounds in.
flicted upon his feelings. Eittiepage
has record on this matter so much
discussed by Bennett that outstrips
all competitors. -
1t is noticeable, as shown by the
Senate Journal of 1907, that the al
legged increase of employs. and other
allowances, was asked for and II: st
ed upon by Democratic senators I'd
every measure of that kind complain
ed of by Mr.. Bennett was unanim-
ously supported by the Democratic
senators. Not one objection was
raised by a Democratic senator.
Senator Littlepage, now a colleague
on the Democratic state ticket with
Mr.. Bennett, was the author of a bill
which called for an increase In
salaries of state officials aggregating
$4,000 per year (see 1907 Senate
Journal, pages 1877, $50, $50, 716,
$50, sS6, and Senate Journal of ex-
ira session of 1908, see pages 50,
109, 1914 and 221.)
Senator R. F. Kidd, of Gilmer, who
disputed minority leadership in the
Senate with Mr.. Littlepage. also has
a conspicuous record for increasing
employees and expenses, although it
does not outshine that of the latter.
No state senator in thirty years has
offered more bills and resolutions to
increase salaries than Mr.. Littlepage.
However, Senator Kidd has been no
siouch at that practice as a coming
of his record, as>printed in the Senate
Journal of 1908, where on pages 100
and gao, conspicuous examples are to
be found. The latter page will dis
close that Senator Kidd wanted the
