JOhnson's Showing with Kauf-
man Encourages the
Cowboy.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Stanley
Ketchel is highly pleased by the re-
pert from the Pacific coast concerning
the ten-round bout between AL Kauf-
man and Jack johnson. Previous to
this contest at Colma kaufman was
considered the most likely young
heavyweight contender in the field
not include Jeffries. The negroes lack
Of hitting was a notable feature of the
Kaufman fight, and as that eliminates
the greatest danger Ketchel is now
confident that he will whip Johnson.
Apparently Johnson considers Ketchel
as lightly as he did Kaufman, but
Ketchel's friends believe thnt the
negro is not figuring on the remarkable
aggr~essiveness of the Montana pugilist.
ketchel, who is in training here for his
fight with Langford next Friday night,
says that the most notable feature of
the fight in Colma was Johnson's de-
Tense. Z

His fight with Kaufman shows that his

leads. There Is not the least doubt that

A Big Three cornered
Match at Velodrome
Tomorrow Afternoon.
KRAMER, CLARKE AND
LAWSON THE CONTENDERS.

liver Lawson, the crack bicycle
rider, with a jaunty air corn of con-
fidence in his regeneration as q speed
merchant, is in Newark again, having
arrived yesterday from Salt Lake City.
He is all animation over the prospects
of his big three-cornered match ace
with Frank Kramer and Jackie Clarke,
which is to be the big attraction at
the local Velodrome meet tomorrow
afternoon, n his likely chances of
victory. His looks in no way belle
the glowing reports that have come
from the West over his great form,
and, If physical appearance counts for
anything, he has every sign of dis
playing to the Newark public some of
the great speed which made him
famous as the worlds champion and
one of the greatest riders who aver
sat upon a wheel.
Lawson came in with Walter Bard
gett, a Newark favorite; Paddy"
O'Sulliyan Hehir, Ernie Pye and Billy
Nesbit, the three Australian cracks.
All are entered for tomorrow's races,
and al Dol forward to a great
autumn season here. Lawson, in
SPtdhlli6 VI IllllSGll Was llOuSSl, do
usual, and the accounts of his won
Nderful achievements in the West were
related mostly by the other riders.
The Swede said he had regained his
old-time. form, and declared hat he
was going as fast as ever, instancing
his worlds records made this season to
subtantiate it, and declared he thought
he could hold his own with Kramer

my braggadoccia.
All the riders said that the cycle
game had a prosperous season in Salt
Lake City. Bardgett declared he was
glad to get back in this city among
old friends. He said that he a got
to going in good style toward the
close of the season, and expected to
make a good showing here. Hehir
and Nesbit, who are on East for the
first time, were especially interested
in the city. They are especially
anxious to get down to racing here,
as they had heard so much Of Newark
and it's bike game in the West that
they want to get Il to asrace meet
and see the crowd. Hehir Is tipped as
one of the future stars of the game,
n has been in this country only since

tralia. The Kramer-C
match was the chief topic of conver-
sation, and the great Kramer-Clarke
battle for the American championship
was a very close second.
All the boys are to compete in the
one-mile r%epechage and the two-mile
pro" open tomorrow at the Nelo-
drome. Kramer, Clarke and Lawson
will be in the open. as we'll as the
match race. The latter viii be one
mile heats, and it promises to be the
greatest bike race ever decided in
Newark. Lawson says all he wants
is a couple of workouts today and one
tomorrow morning. Percy Lawrence's
debut in the pro" ranks is also an
item of much interest.
With this bill and the amateur num-
bers--a mile novice, one-nile handicap
and a fve-mile open-some great sport
is anticipated. Jake Magin will be the
probable successor to Lawrence as the
favofite for the amateur races.

PROSPECT OF BAR DOES
NOT BOTHER Mr.. Killing.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-John King, who
may be barred from professional base

Let the national commission en-

played against Callahan's team" he

and hereafter will devote my time to
business interests. When the fancy
strikes me I'll play a little 'semi-pro'

local clubs this season. My efforts in
the future will be to build up my busi-

Double headers for the
Tigers and SkeeterS
Today and Tomorrow.
DUFFY'S GRAYS COME
HERE TO PLAY NEXT WEEK.

THERE was no thirteen-inning
game yesterday, for the weatherman
came along to put the kibosh
on the second game between the
Tigers and the Shelters. As a re-
suit the Tigers and Skeeters play a
double-header at West Side Park to-
day, and another bargain day will be
offered the local al at Wieden-
mayors Park tomorrow. There is
bound to be a big turnout of fans at
both double bills, for all realize hat
the Bengals are up against 1t more
than any other organization in the
league. One thing is certain. Jersey
fans will not be compelled to sit
through weird exhibitions like the fans
were offered when Rochester and Buff
falo and Baltimore and Providence
met.
During the next four games the
Shelters will send Ford, Milligan, Sit
ton and Manser against the Tigers.
The I%rvington boy will work one of
the games Sunday and the Iron Man"
may go in against him to get even for
that thirteen-inning tie affair. Frill,
Brady, Parkins and Muller will work
in turn against Jack Ryan's pesky
Shelters.
1t looks as though Stafford and Fin
neran will umpire the series, n there
should be little trouble.
When the Tigers get through with
the Insects, Hughey Duffy and his clan
of Grays will be entertained Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday at the local
park. Although the series with the
ClAmmers may not decide which team
will win the pennant, the games will
be red-hot, for there is very little
friendship existing at this time be-
tween the two ag%gregations. It is
needless to give the reason, for all
know how Duffy nosed out Stallings
by Dunn's champions lying down.. 1t
is useless to c~riticise the fans of the
little Rhode Island town." but the
fans of Newark and vicinity would
not tar for such a thing. Imagine
such a thing happening in organized
baseball, and there is evidence suffi-
cient to show that 1t happened again
this season. There is some consolation,
however, for a new executive in 1910
will not stand for such fonkle-monkle
business.
Getting back to the series with the
Shelters, we all know that they are
a fast crew, and the Tigers will have
to ave fast to get an even break.
If they take the rubber our boys
will do well. If they get an even
break don't "crab." Cheer up, the
worst is yet to come, perhaps-for
Rochester.

HEYDLER SNEAKED ONE
OVER ON FIGHTING CUBS.

PITTSBURG, Sept. lit came out
that President John Heydler, of the
National League. was a spectator UNI
known to either the Pittsburg or Chi
cago teams on last Tuesday when the
Cubs became so ob~streperous, and for
which Chance and Tinker were put out
Of the game. 1t is this game which
Chicago has protested.
Heydler was in Pittsburg on Monday
and was thought to have left for New
York that night. Instead, it p
that Heydler had simply changed
hotels. and. being in town on Tues
day, had gone to Forbes Field as an
outsider, paying his way in to see the
game without 1t being known hat he
was there. He accordingly heard all
the hard talk of the Chicago players,
which resulted in their being laid off.
and he imposed the fines accordingly.
