and it's UP to Johnson to push along
the machinery. An unnecessary delay
on the part of either of the principals
of this proposed fight will be disgust
ing to the public, and 1 do not know
how low in the popular estimation they
will fall, if something is not done be-
fore long. It's pretty nearly time thai
the public can be insured that the fight
is going to take place. and it's up to
both men to see that the match is ar
ranged in short order.
Jeffries issued a statement last night,
through his manager, saying that every
thing now depended on Jack johnson
as far as a fight between himself and
the negro was concerned. He did not
seem to consider seriously Johnson's
posting S., 1000 in Chicago this week, and
said that it was up to Johnson to meet
Reasonable conditions" He added that
he had received no official c~ommunica,
ton of Johnson's action i'll Chicago.
Berger said that he hoped to see John.
son in New York in a few DAYS. and
go over the situation. and to receive
some bid for the fight from promoters
during Jeff's absence abroad.
Aside from a ~sojourn at Carlsbad for
his health, and a reunion with his wife
and mother in Germany, Jeffries said
he had no special plans for his Euro
pean trip.

~ EEL, Jehries and Johnson seem near getting

away as ever. Jeff sailed for Europe today for
FIVE or six weeks at the Carlsbad baths. johnson has
posted his $1,000 forfeit in Chicago, far away from the
$4,000 that the former heavyweight champion posted in
New York. Johnson is calling aloud for a personal
meeting with Jeffries. That streak of yellow that seems
to be a physical mark with the negro is evidenced accord
ing to most people by that attitude. Johnson has no
reason in the world for a personal interview. Jeff posted
his money, announcing his conditions and stating that dur
ing his absence Sam Bergen was ready as his representa-
tive to transact all business with Johnson. That's very
plain. If Johnson wants to fight why doesn't he fulfill his
END OF the program? All he has to do is to post his money

invasions of the city limits by ad-
|venturous bears. The Staying of
la big black bear on a down town

degrees, and bear meat may soon
take the place of porterhouse

After wandering about the
beach yesterday afternoon, the
bear which had ventured from the
woods ambled up Chestnut street
in the business district, to the
crowded public market. Hundreds
of people watched bruin, who
seemed inclined to make a feast
off the vegetables displayed in the
stalls, but his career was cut
short by w. T. Hatton, a rancher,
who shot the animal with a re-
|volver.

STRANGE LITTLE WOMAN, AT IS, BESTS
TRAINED ATHLETES in GRUEIIlNG RACE

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May D.
A little, old woman, with muscles
of steel, running, and running
well, against seasoned athletes in a
race demanding speed, and endur-
ance and strength of an extraordi-
nary quality-this was the
astounding scene witnessed in this
city when the annual Mount Will
son hill climb was run off recently.
The little old woman was Mrs.
Marie Riedeselle. She Is called
"the Hermitess of Santa Anita
Canyon" because in a little thatch-
ed hut, far back in the hills, she
leads her life alone, free from all
conventionalities.
The race was won by Ed Diet
RIGHT, of the Los Angeles Athletic
club, who traversed the lilo
mile mountain trail in / hour,
29h minutes, beating a field of
16 starters.
After the last man had been
sent away, woman, clad as a
ballet dancer-tights, sash and all
walked out to the starter and
requested to be allowed to COM
pete. She was told that this was
impossible, the contest being limit
ed to men only. She insisted up
ON running, and, as the trail is
government property, no one could
stop her. The timers consented to
do their work for her.
Then she started. UP over the
rough trail this woman set fast
pace, and finished in 2 hours and
rs minutes, which, although not
near the winners time, was good
enough to beat four of the we'll
trained men who started.
| There is a strain of mystery
running through the life of the
"Hermitess." AS young woman
she was beautiful and an accom-
plished musician. Active and en-
dowed with perfect health, she
longed for life of adventure. She
came west from her home in
in Maine. When just trifle over
80 years old she made one of the
famous party that went with
Lucky" Baldwin to the Klondike
during the gold rush. The whole
tenor of her life was changed
She went away light-hearted, gay
She returned bitter. Nobody but
herself knows how or why the
change was worked. She was
still beautiful, still accomplished
Her friends welcomed her home
but she left them all and sought
an abode in a little barren canyon
in the mountains. With her own
hands she built hut. She had a
piano brought from the city. To
day she has the manners and the
strength of the man, yet when the
evening sun is setting behind the
hills her delicate old fingers can
wander tenderly over the keys OF
the piano, her only friend and con-
fidante. Travellers and hunters
on repeated occasions have come
to the city telling of wierd music
wonderfully executed snatches
from classics that they have heard
coming from a little matched hut
in Santa Anita canyon.
II What led this strange woman to
enter the gruelling Mount Wilson
contest will probably never be
known. She refuses to discuss
herself or her affairs.
