100000 PURSE IN
SIGHT FOR JOHNSON

LONDON, January 23.-Friends of
Jack Johnson. heavyweight cham
pion of the world, received a cable
from the negro yesterday, which
said he would leave Australia for
London February II. and that his
first business here would be to ar
range the details of his coming
bout with Sam Langford before
the National Sporting Club.
There is now a prospect of John
son being offered>a purse of 100000
to meet Jim Jeffries. Johnson's
friends say that the negro is not
worrying to any extent over JEFF
fries returning to the ring and
issuing a challenge for a fight for
the title. even for such a stupen-
dOus purse as 100000. This is
owing to the fact that Johnson
thinks he can earn that much in
English music halls during the next
two years.

matched to meet Fighting Dick Nelson.
the New York pugilist, for ten rounds at
the Sharkey A. &. in about two weeks.
Jim Buckley has secured the consent of
Nelson's manager for the bout and 1t is
up to Fitzgerald now to clinch the match.
Freddie Welsh says that if Battling
Nelson does not cover his forfeit of $1,000
which he has posted at Los Angeles. Cal.
for a fight for the lightweight title he
will claim the title. Claiming a title this
way might go all right in England but it
never will in this country. The American
public want a man to win a champion
ship by fighting for it,
Young Otto has lost whatever chance
he had of getting on bout with Packey
Mcfarland by his defeat at the hands
of Leach Cross Thursday night. 1t is
likely now that Jack Mason, manager of
Otto. will take the latter to England for
fights. as he is sure that Otto can heat
all the men at his weight on the other
side Had Otto beaten Cross he would
have abandoned the trip to England

Beat Corey Over the Full Marathon
Distance in 2.56 2-5.

CHICAGO, January 2S.-Dorando, the
great Italian Marathon runner, scored
another achievement last night by beat
ing Corey. the pride of western distance
runners. The event was the full Mara

six miles in the lead at the finish
From the third mile Corey had trouble
with his running shoes. He stopped twice
during the race to change them, each
time allowing the Italian to gain three
laps of lead.

Corey at indoors, as he stopped at inter-
walls to walk and regain his wind. while

line.
His time was 2hrs. 56 min. % sec, and

The Mattocks School Trouble,

Quite a stir has been created in this
city over the report that the Afro
American children in and near the
Crispus Attucks Orphans and Old
Folks Home were to be segregated
in the public school in that district.
The Afro-American citizens were just,
ly alarmed over the matter and a del
egation of prominent men and women
attended the meeting of the school
board to protest against the action. It
was found, however, that a formal pro.
test would not be necessary as under
the law governing the case no such
thing could be legally done and the
board. through it's chairman, Mr.. C..
w. Gordon, assured the delegation
that such a thing would not be done.
1t is hoped that no further trouble will
arise in the matter.
The school board has decided that
there will be two rooms in the Mat
tccks school, in which the children
will be apportioned with respect to
age and grade irrespective of color.
The school has had but one room and
the discussion about colorf arose when
it was decided to enlarge the school.
Mr.. Joseph Elsinger, of the Golden
Rule, who is the power behind the
throne at the Home, says he will erect
new buildings for the Home, contain
ing gymnasium. baths and all modern
paranhernalia, so that there can be no
grounds for discrimination against the
children or account of sanitary condi-
