experiments make one of the i'm pnrtant advances in the technique of date growing upon commercial scale in Arizona. The Citizen says that Dr. Vinson recently found that the ripening process may be initiated by treating the unripe fruit with a great variety of che micals. These substances seem to act as stimulants and once started, the ripening goes on naturally The final product is fully equal to that ripened on the tree. By the artificial process the whole bunch may be pened at once instead of individual points over a period Of several weeks as occurs when left to mature. Another advantage of the method is that the fruit may ie shipped green and ripened at their destination like bananas are handled.

JOHNSON PLAYS
WITH KAUFMAN
Only Hall Trained, Big Negro
Goes Through Ten Rounds
OF Easy Fighting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-Heavy-
weight Champion Jack Johnson sur
prised afi experts yesterday afternoon
by the ease with which he defeated Al
Kaufman In their ten-round fight al
The Mission street arena.
From the first half of the first round
Johnson proved himself the master Of
Kaufman at every angle of the game
and though the plucky Californian last
ed the limit, this was largely due to
the fact that johnson didn't force thu
lighting in the early rounds. and when
he tried to finish his man in the
seventh and succeeding rounds. he
didn't lay enough steam.
Johnson's most effective blows were
q heavy left hook to the heart and a
right uppercut which lie landed at viii
when coming out of clinches. johnson
, didn't stand away and spar, but fought
close up to Kaufman, and thus pre-
vented the Californian from utilizing
his great each.
Nearly every blow of Johnson's
reached it's mark and Kaufman's face
was covered with blood after the first
round. So easily did Johnson outclass
Kaufman that 1t seemed he could have
ended the fight at any stage, but he
really found Kaufman very tough, and
his pluck and enormous strength pre-
vented the champion from scoring a
knockout.
In one of the middle rounds John
son, with his hands stretched at his
side, laughlngly asked kaufman to
come and get him. In the eighth
ninth and tenth Johnson was more
serious of purpose.
There is no question but that John
son was trying hard for a knockout IN
the final round. He followed the white
boy relentlessly around the ring to cui
loose some hard punches. There waf
no mistaking the force, but the tin
was too short for deadly execution.
Once in that tenth interval johnson
sent Kaufman against the ropes and
PARTIALLY through them with a volley
of lefts and rights. but when AL came
hack the black slowed up somewhat,
and at the close Kaufman was fight
ing at his best, sending body punches
in %clinches, which, however, were hard
" strong enough to bother Jack.
For all that. every round was over
whelmingly in favor of Johnson from
| any point of view.

ever, at the end, and their fast work
will no doubt result in another match.
Johnny Rohan, the New York boy,
who has the reputation of being a
very tough nut, was to have met
Leary, and Billy naturally trained to
meet his particular style of milling.
At the last momeht Dohan met an
injury and the club officials signed
West, who had been trimming his
opponents in handy fashion right along.
He Is a good, clever boy, with a sting
ing jab in both mitts, but his punches
did not seem to bother Leary in the
least. Paying no attention to guard

his man, trying to land that vicious
right swing of his, but on almost every
occasion West got inside and jabbed
again.
