One feature concerning the trade which

JOHNSON PROMISED
TO FIGHT LANGFORD

NEW YORK, January Eff Jack John
son lives up to his agreement with the
National Sporting Club OF London his
next big fight will take place there and
his opponent will be another dusky boxer
Sam Langford. But Johnson is unde-
cided about meeting Langford now, and
1T is a question whether the Boston negro
cares much about tacklinG the new heavy
weight champion.
When Johnson was in London last sum-
mer he agreed to box langford In NoVem-
ber Articles were sent to the National
clubs representative in this country. and
Langford signed them Then johnson
started on his pursuit OF Burns. and the
match was post poned. 1t was not called
off. for Johnson promised. win or lose in
his fight with Burns. that he would re-
turn to London and fulfill his engagement
with Langford In the meanwhile Lang
ford has transferred his headquarters to
the Pacific coast, and delays announce
ment Of the date OF his departure for
London.
The chances are that johnson will tarry
In Australia for 4 few weeks and pluck
a few of the lemons that were squeezed
by Burns. "Boshter BIZ Squires chal-
lenged the winner Of last Saturday s
fight, and Bill is still drawing card in
the antipodes. OF course. he and John
son would not get any $4,000 purses.
but the black man can demand the lion 5

money comes easy there Sam Fitzpatrick
will try and gather some of it in.
If Johnson returns to London and Sam
Langford goes there to meet him the
winner will be challenged by Joe jeanette.
who sailed for Paris this week. jeanette
intends to challenge Johnson. They have
fought six times in the last three years.
Three of the bouts were siX-round no.
decision affairs at Philadelphia. Johnson
lost on a foul in another short bout but
shortly afterward got a decision over
Jeanette in a fifteen-round encounter at
Baltimore. Their last fight was a ten
round draw at Portland, Me.

Even the erratic Bugs" Raymond
whose eccentricities placed him with the

burst. forth into song that he is to be

notch his possible victories on stick.
Both of the ST. Louis pitchers who have
been turned over to the Cincinnati club
under a new manager are sanguine that
they will be with team which will make
better showing next year than 1t did
last, and the general air of joy which
reigns throughout the three teams is sig
niticant of good base ball for all of them

EXCITING CHESS IN
DEPARTMENT GAMES
Neck and Neck Struggle Be-
tween Government Printing
Office and War-Navy.

The recent match between the Govern
ment Printing Office and War-NaNv
teams proved to be the hardest fought
encounter of the entire series so far. Tbs
Printers had their usual strong quartet.
but the WarNavy representatives had
been greatly strengthened. and when their
lineup was observed 1t was evident there
was hot contest in store Team Capt.
Webster of WarNavy took the position
at the premier board against the hitherto
unbeaten champion OF the G.. T. o.. Nc
Cormick, and after splendid fight the
latter had to lower his colors for the first
time this season. Not to be outdone the
Printers evened matters up by winning
the game on board >. Arends against
Mundelle. another capital display. Moore
and histler had in the meantime fought
it out to draw. so that the match WAS
still even with the last game going he
tween Smell and Graham This was des-
perately fought, as win for either or
the combatants would give his side the
victory, but neither one could gain any
material advantage over the other and
after a protracted session a draw was
reluctantly agreed upon. Thus memo
rable match ended all square. two points
to each side.
Another very important match OF tie
week was that between the senior teams
of Interior and Agriculture. Unfortu-
nately, however, owing to sickness and
absence two of the four games are still
undecided and must be left over until
next week. The two games played were
very interesting nevertheless. and. as each
side scored one win. the match stands
even so far. Walker and Huntington
were soon busy on board l. The last
named made a risky advance OF his king
knights pawn, which the former District
champion promptly took advantage OF
and later emerged with a won game.
Zapoleon and Pratt had It out on board
two, and 1t was realized that the former
would be put to a severe test to keep UP
his unbeaten record. He was equal To
the occasion. however, and thus placed
Agriculture even terms. He secured
his victory by tricldng Pratt ont of
pawn in the early stages Of the game.
This Slight advantage was carefully
nurSed i'll spite OF clever and game
exhibition by his opponent until a win
ming position was finally secured.
Owing to the absence of some OF tie

FRED" DON0HUE
MADE A MISTAKE

It is doubtful if base ball annals give
an instance of mistaken judgment equal
to that of Francis Red Donohue, who.
quitting the Detroit base ball club and
renouncng for all time the pursuit OF
his vocation in favor of business. ca
reer. lost thereby the only opportunity
offered him in a long and honorable ca
reer of identifying himself with a cham
pion team and was forced to forego as
well the fruits of such a campaign as the
one in which his deserted club straightway
proceeded to indulge, says Paul Bruske of
Detroit. Donohue quit the Tigers in 1906
before he had to. No doubt about that:
he could have started the next season, and
it is hard to see why he might not have
kept on pitching for them. Particularly
effective against several of the American
League clubs, Donohue possessed at the
time of Ills retirement as much speed,
curves and headwork as he had shown in
any recent stage of his career. An OPP
portunity to secure saloon and hotel
business in his native city of Philadelphia
took his fancy, however. and when
Hughey Jennings lined up the Tigers in
1907 and took his new post as manager
Donohue failed to show no. The Tigers
had finished sixth the year Donohue quit
No sooner had he settled to work at
his new job. however. than they began to
show signs of unexpected ability. In mid
season they reached the lead and dropped
in at Philadelphia for a series. Dono-
hue knew that the team needed pitchers
and called on Manager Jennings, who
told him 10 come back and go to work.
In fact, Hughey was SO anxious TO get
the veteran back into line that he offered
to declare him in on the post-season Sc
ries to the extent of a full share. But
Donohue couldn't see the Tigers as cham
pions-not a little bit. Accordingly he
stuck to his business until too late to
qualify in the worlds series. Last spring
Donohue again considered a return to the
game. He was still on the Detroit reserve
list and might have reported to his old
club but for the fact that on several oc-
casions he had been made the butt of jests
by his former mates who twitted him over
his poor judgment in putting them into
discard before the 1907 race was over
Again Red was forced to see his old
team take down a pennant without him
self playing any part whatever in either
the play the disposal of the rich pro-
ceeds Donohue is still on the Detroit re-
serve list. President Navin says it doesn't
cost anything to keep him there. And the
red-top can only grin sardonicauy and
make the best of the situation.

Amateur Marathon Race.

NEW YORK, January TT is more
than probable that there will be a big
amateur. Marathon race at Madison
Square Garden January 9, the date origi-
nally set for the Shrubb-Longboat af-
fair. The promoters are In correspondence
with the best amateurs in all parts of the
country and hope to induce at least
twenty of them to take part in the race
which will be the greatest of its kind ever
held in this country.
On account. of the length of the race
the Amateur Athletic Union will be asked
to allow special priZes-far exceeding in
value the usual $50 limit-to be awarded.
and If this is granted about $1,000 will
be put into cups and medals for the
winners. The man who comes in first
will receive the most costly cup ever
awarded an amateur in this country, and
suitable trophies will be- given each Of
the first ten men to finish.

Langford in Demand.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. January o
Sam Langford, the colored middle
weight fighter. is the most sought-after
pugilist by the fight club promoters Of
California of all the scrappers now on
the coast. Since Langford put Jim Flynn
away in less than one round all of the
promoters have been after him to fight
at their clubs, and as a consequence
he has been made many big offers. Lang
ford says that the height of his ambition
is to meet Stanley ketchel, the middle
weight champion, and If the match is
clinched he will fight before the club Of
ferinS the largest purse. 1t is doubtful
if ketchel will fight him. for he will give
as an excuse that he does not intend to
fight again for several months.

ling and delivery Of the bonds 10 the

sive. This recommendation was adopt
ed, a resolution offered by Alderman
Williams covering the points desired
It was adopted without opposition
The second communication from the
board of bond trustees recommended
that the National City Bank OF New
York and any bank or banks IN the
city Of Pensacola be designated as de
pCsitories for the bonds and the pro
ceeds thereof, the funds to be pro
rated. y resolution, also from MI
Williams, was introduced and adopted
after an explanation relative to the
matter Of pro rating the funds to local
banks. The bond money, 1t was ex-
planned, was IN the custody OF the
bond trustees and was not a part of
the city's money, hence il could not
be placed as city funds are at the
7.O1 per cent. as now paid for the
funds. The resolution was discussed
at length, developing the fact that all
banks handling the bond money
readily and willingly paid an interest
rate Of I per cent for it. This was
satisfactory to all after once made
clear. and the resolution passed.
Results Of the meeting Will now be
reported to the New York law firm of
Dillon & Hubbard, who are handling
the Pensacola bond sale, and when ap-
proved viii be sent back. The board
OF bond trustees will then 90 to the
council with recommendations desig-
mating the local bank repositories.
