FORMER MANAGER
LAUGHS At JEFF
WILLIAM A. BRADY SAYS HE
TALKS TO ADVERTISE
VAUDEVILLE ACT.
Says Former Champion is Not a Cow.
ard But Has Moral Fear of
the Prize Ring.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.-Since
Jack Johnson's poor showing in the
bout with Jack O'Brien, in Philadelphia
recently, many sporting men nave been
wondering how long the negro would
last in a fight with James J. Jeffries,
provided of course, that the boiler
maker was in his best condition. Vet
eran ring followers who saw Johnson
fail to outpoint O'Brien, or even score
clean XnockdoWn in six rounds, lost no
time in saying after that affair that Jes-
fries fit and himself, would probably
have no trouble in putting the black
champion away in about a dozen
rounds. They argued that Johnson's
cautious defensive tactics would doubt
less puzzle Jeffries for awhile, but that
as soon as the burly Californian solved
the problem he would quickly stop the
negro with the same terrific body
punches that put Sharkey, Rubin, Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons out of business.
But will Jeffries ever get into con-
ditiOn to tackle Johnson? He says he
will, and so does his manager Sam
Berber. Jeff has engaged Jim Corbett
to help him train, and declares that he
weighs 243 pounds at present and will
take off % pounds before he enters
the ring, some tine after next Christ.
mas. w. A Brady, Jeff's former man
ager however, declares that the boiler
maker will never fight again, that he
never had any idea of meeting Johnson,
and that his recent pugilistic challenge
was due to lack of interest in his vau-
deville act. Brady insists that Jeff S
wind is gone, and that he can never
perfect it; that he may be able to re-
duce his weight and appear fit, but that
when it comes down to cases the big
Californian will sidestep the signing of
articles

hooted off the stage the first time he

doned all hope Of an Oxford Harvard
international varsity boat race in Eng
land this year, although for several
months negotiations have been in
progress for such a race, providing, of
course, that the Crimson crew tri-
umphed over Yale at New London,
July /.
A letter has been received at Cam
bridge which stated that Oxford has
definitely decided not to accept an in
vitation from Harvard for a varsity
race, and that the Englishmen would
break training Immediately after the
last of the seasons fixtures, the Royal
Henley regatta.
Harvard has been represented in
England in her negotiations for race
by Mr.. Higginson, captain of a former
Harvard varsity crew, who is now in
business in London. Mr.. Higginson
has had several conferences with both
he old and the new presidents of the
Oxford crew, and at one time matters
really looked favorable for an inter
national contest. Now, however,

"Moral Fear of Ring"

"Jeffries is not a coward" said Brady
the other day, "but he has always had
a moral fear of the ring. He wanted
to quit the game right after he won
the championship from Fitzsimmons
and we had all we could do to induce
him to take on Corbett and Sharkey.

record, and you can put it down as a
risk of suffering defeat at the hands
of a negro. If Jeffries really in

fight.
'tHistory will repeat itself in the
case of AL Kaufman, who stands ready
to fight Johnson to finish for $4,000
side When 1 first took hold of jeff
ries you'll remember that he failed to
stop Bob Armstrong in ten rounds and
was the laughing stock of the sport
ingworld. He went back to Califor-
MIA in a hurry and was disguised with
himself. But a year later Jeffries
came back and won the title from Fitz-
simmons. Kaufman is in the same
boat now. He was scored because of
his recent failure to put Tony Ross
away in ter. rounds and was in hurry
to get back to the coast, but some of
these days he will get crack at john
son unless the negro loses to Ketchel,
and then he'll prove that he is of
championship caliber.
Here's a Chance for Johnson.
eff Johnson doesn't want to tackle

sition. If he can knock Tony Ross
out in ten rounds Kaufman will let
him alone, but if he fails he must take

can put him away. AS I've had some

EnqIishmen Not Anxious.

In order to secure a race with the
Oxorians Harvard stood ready to
make any reasonable concessions, but
it has been evident for some time that
the Englishmen were not quite so
keen for a measure of strength with
Harvard as Harvard men had hoped.
They recognized on the other side that
the Harvard varsity crew of 1909 was
likely to be exceptionally fast, and at
the same time felt that the Cambridge
Oxford winner Of this year was not
quite up to the English standard.
Several weeks ago, Immediately af-
ter the oxford oarsmen returned from
their brief holiday following their
winning race with Cambridge, vote
of the members Of the crew was TAX
en- to ascertain where the OXonians
stood in regard to remaining in train
ing all summer, a thing that would be
necessary in case race with Harvard
was arranged Six Of the eight men
who pulled oars in the Oxonians' boat
against the Cantabs were willing to
forego their summer vacation for the
sake of race. There were two, how
ever, who had made other plans and
would not consent to summer training.
Oxford Sdesteps Race.
This information was impaired to
the Harvard men, and the reply was
sent to Oxford that any oarsmen OK
ford might select for the vacancies
would be acceptable to Harvard. 1t
was suggested that they could either
be graduate oarsmen or substitutes,
just so long as Oxford was willing to
agree to a race This plan did not
meet with favor in England, appar-
emily, for the OxoniaHs have now an
that there is no longer any
possibility of a race.
This decson is a big disappointment
to the members Of the Harvard crew
and the Harvard students generally,
as it was felt that a race this year
with the crew which had made the !
"a stest time ever credited to varsity
eight for the Putney to Mortlake
course would afford Capt. Bacon's men
an opportunity of squaring accounts
for the Harvard defeat Of 1906. when
Capt. Pilley's eight went abroad and
lost to Cambridge.

WHAT is DOING
THE WORLD OVER
a WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK.


Breeding Trouble on Pacific Coast.
The bills before the California Iegisla-
ture whose admitted purpose is to dis
eriminate against japanese residents Of
that state, are to be taken up this week.
The Drew bill has been amended BY its
author so as to limit the right OF all for
eignerH to hold land. II was changed at
the request Of President Roosevelt, who
saw no valid objection to II unless Il spe-
cified the Japanese, which it did as frst
drawn. II Is likely this bill will pass.
The Johnson bills forbidding the Japan
ese to become directors in corporations
and sagregating them in certain cities are
to be pressed, their author announces,
despite the objection OF the federal adj
ministration. Preliminary votes indicate
that they will pass the assembly, but are
likely to fail In the Senate. Petitions for
and against the bills are pouring in.
There Is some resentment on the Pacific
coast to the interference Of President
Roosevelt IN matters of state legislation.
and the Assembly of the Nevada legisla-
ture has considered a resolution censur-
ing him for his action and advising
California to 20 ahead and restrict the
Japanese, whom Il calls .the parasites OF
the earth" This resolution, 20 amended
as to strike out the reference to the presi-
dent, has passed the Assembly, but may
fail Ia the House Il is admitted that
the situation is more or less involved,
especially as negotiations we're well ad-
vancrd with Japan toward further re-
stricting emigration to America, which
are likely to be endangered By the &C
tive hostility OF the government oppos-
ition in that country to America.
Premier Katsura, In q speech before the
Diet Tuesday, said he relied on the
! friendship and good sense OF the Ameri-
can people in the present emergency.

Death Of William Holmes Occurred
Yesterday Morning.


Death claimed Randolph's oldest citi-
zen yesterday morning, when Mr.. Will
liam Holmes departed this lite ct the age
Of 81 years and months. OF hardy con-
stitutien and vigorous health, he seemed
to hold time long st bay, while q spirit
iDdomitably young strengthened his
steps and frightened his eye. Almost
impreceptibly, however, he had, during
the last few years. yielded to the increas-
ing weakness Of age and this winter had

brightness that remained unimpaired.

having been confined to his room for q
fortnight. His dauRhter-in-law and con-
stant companion, Mrs. Mary z. Holmes.
saw him comfortably seated and then left
him for q brief interval, charging him
not to move until she came back. While
she was still busted upstairs, he happened
to think Of 9 book be wanted in the next
room and, net realizing his lack OF
strength. be took his cane and crossed
the hall to get it. The book was heavy
and the effort 50 fatigued him that he laid

against the latter with sufficient force to
fracture his right hip. In his frail ccndf-
tion, the injury could have only a fatal
termination aud, though be was merci-

ing Time. yet lie suffered great deal un-
til death came 10 bis relief.
Mr.. Holmes was born in Piiton, Devon
shire, Eng, June 9, 1911, and Feb. 10,
1882, he married there the youngest
daughter Of an English gentleman farm
er. The following April he and bis bride
sailed for America and for four years had
their abode ct Prince Edward Island,
where Mr.. Holmes was In the Office Of the
attorney-generaI. Not finding such esn-
ploymenf congenia1, he removed to Bos-
ton in 1895 to engage in the trunk and
saddle business in partnership with
Charles Mckinney until the latter some
years later sold out to go into the rubber
business. Mr. Holmes then became sole
proprietor Of the saddle and trunk house,
on fremont street, which remained under
his successful management until he re-
tired from business in 1870 and took up
his residence in Brookline, Mass.

laws sister, Mrs. d. Il. Goding. gave him
so pleasant an impression OF this village
as a place for q home that he bought the
house on South street, in which the last
Is years OF his life have been very happi-
~ passed. There his energy and love of
activity found qualification in tending
garden and lawn and in making cosy,
homelike and attractive the house over
which his daughter-in-law has so gra-
ciously presided and in which so many
friends have enjoyed their cordial hospi-
tality.
Every year, as long as strength per-
mitted, his birthday anniversary was
made the occasion OF joyous gathering,
entertained and made merry by the keen
wit Of the host and his wealth OF anec-
dotes and "reminiscences Of people and
places on both sides OF the water. AS he
once said Of himself, he lived in para
disc Of memories though not to the exclu-
sion Of new friends and new experiences.
His 95th anniversary was the last to be
80 celebrated, and on the next two recur-
rences OF the 9th OF June he was content
ed to receive the brief calls and letters
that marked remembrance OF the day.
His wife lived to celebrate their golden
wedding, but when the 18th anniversary
came in 1907 the aged and widowed hus-
band summoned his friends to bear him
company and share his memories OF that
early day aud the bride who proved 50
