| the paltry guarantee of $4,000 to
meet O'Brien in this city, where a
| $4,000 house was possible and
where he and not O'Brien was the
card, owing to the fact that O'Brien
| had recently been whipped by
Ketchel in New York, while Johnson
was making his first appearance in
public since he had won the cham
in Australia.
"Under these condition Johnson
was worth the big end OF the money
and no one knew this better than
Jack Johnson Well, what is the
answer? 1t may not be the correct
answer, but there is story going
the rounds downtown among tine
coiored sporting men who lost mon
ey betting on johnson, that the
champion got $500 for boxing
with O'Brien, and that he got $3,-
900 extra for not knocking O'Brien
out. The story may not be true, but
the financial end would figure up
Just about what would be coming to
Johnson as his share of the receipts,
which were shade over $40, 900.
One of the men who is telling
around that Johnson got $4,000 for
not knocking out O'Brien, states that
Johnson told the story himself and
gave that as his reason for not err
, tending himself when the men met
recently in this city.
Those who saw the Johnson-O'-
rien contest could see that the black
champion was not extending himself.
for he knocked O'brien down and al
most through the ropes with one
punch in the first round, and then
did practically nothing for the rest
of time until the fifth, when he again
hit O'Brien hard, knocking him to
the floor and closing one of the
white fighters eyes completely. The
fact that John was in poor condition,
hog fat, and twenty pounds at least
overweight, caused some ITO think
that it was this lack of condition
which tied johnson up. but there
was abundant evidence that even as
he was. he was not trying to go his
best pace, for the work he did was
nothing like that which he could and
did do on other occasions in this
city

PhiladeIphians, After
J Seeing KetcheI, Think
| lie Is the Man to Win
Championship
THE WISH Is FATHER TO THE
THOUGHT IN MANY CASES,
SAYS DICK KAIN, THE SPORT
ING WRITER.

The following is written by r. H.
(Dick) Kain, sporting editor of the
Philadelphia Record, one of the
country's greatest authorities on
pugilism, and one who fearlessly ex-
presses himself, regardless of public
opinion:
"After seeing Stanley Ketchel beat
Jack O'Brien in jig time at the Ma
tional Athletic club the bulk of the
big audience came away with the
idea firmly fixed in their minds that
here was the very man they had been
looking for to win the championship
from Jack Johnson. Their wish was
in many cases father to the thought,
for there seems to be on every hand
the greatest desire to have the big
Texan whipped as quickly as possible
"Ketchel may beat Johnson If
they ever meet in the ring, but his
showing with O'Brien as compared
with the showing of Johnson would
not be very good foundation on
which to place big bet. Ketchel
took three rounds to stop O'Brien,
while johnson did not stop the white
Jack in six rounds. True enough; |;
but johnson showed very plainly
that he could have stopped O'Brien
in one round had he tried. Perhaps
if the conditions had been the same
Johnson would have done SO.
johnson did not train minute to
meet O'Brien Possibly he did not
have to, under the terms on which
the match might have been made.
The terms of the Johnson-O'Brien
match have never all been made
public 1t was generally understood
that Johnson was to get $500 for
his end of that match and O'Brien
worked on percentage. Johnson has
shown more than once in his busi-
ness transactions that. no matter
what else he may be, he is not fool.
JOHNSON A GOOD BUSINESS MAN
Knowing that Johnson was not a
fool when it came to money matters,
there were a lot of people who won
dered why Johnson agreed to take

JOHNSON COULD EASILY KNOCK OUT0BR|Eh

been any fighter produced in the
ring in the last twenty-five years who
has proven the fallacy of that theory
1t is matter of ring history just
what happened when Sullivan stack
ed up against really good left-hand,
straight puncher. Terry McGovern's S
finish came in one round when he
stacked up against Young Corbett, a
man who was quick and cleaner
hitter than himself, and who beat
him to the punch, although it hap
pened in Terry's case that it was a
tap on the jaw that put
Terry to sleep the first time in his
ring career. Ketchel may beat john
son when he meets the big black next
fall but the ex-cowboy will have a
great handicap to overcome. john
son is much heavier than Ketchel
ever will be, although Stanley will
take on considerable weight, but he
like The weight which Johnson totes
around.
Johnson is great deal taller than
Ketchel and he can hit even harder
than Stanley. and it must not be
overlooked that Johnson is much
cleverer boxer than the middleweight
champion. Ketchel Is good little
man, but johnson is good big man,
even II he is black, and there is an
old ring adage to the effect that "a
good little man can whip good
big man. Ketchel is a very open
fighter, who has practically no de-
fense. for he thinks he does not need
any, depending entirely on his terrific
punching power to put his man away.
But Ketchel's style is not based on
scientific boxing, and. with johnson
trained and in condition, different
story may have to be written the day
after they fight And johnson will
not be the sort OF Johnson who met
O'Brien If he ever meets Ketchel.

KETCHEL TOO LIGHT.

In his. match with O'Brien, Ketch-
ell showed that he is a fast and ter
rible hard hitter, but 1t takes more
than that to make great fighter. He
fights like Terry McGovern did, and
something on the same style that
Sullivan used when he was in his
prime. Just slam, bang, smash, hit
whenever you can, with the right
hand doing the most execution. Long
before any of the present day fighters
were born it was proven that, other
things being equal, sleft-hand
straight punch would whip a right
hand swing, and there has never

Simple Home Remedies.

Often a simple home remedy
will relieve a patient when the
physicians methods fail. For
severe cold and coughs, and even
for pneumonia and consumption
let a lump of sugar, which has
been moistened with a drop of
oil of tar, slowly dissolve in the
mouth. This will clear the throat
and give instant relief.
A remedy often recommended
for stiff neck is to tie over the
affected part piece of black OIL
cloth, the right side to the skin.
Then tie up the neck with a thick
handkerchief. In a short time
the part will become moist.
Leave the oilclothe on for IL
hours. At the end of that time
the pain and stiffness should be
removed.
For earache, instead of putting
hot oil into the ear, use a hot
mixture of glyceriDe, alcohol, and
water. This will not turn rancid.
like the oil, and can be removed
by gentle springing. A thick
towel, wrung out of boiling wat
er, furnishes an excellent means
of applying heat to the aching
member.
To prevent cold when one is
thoroughly chilled, cut up one
lemon and add One-half cup OF
sugar and one tablespoonful of
ginger. Mix well, pour boiling
water over it, and drink while
hot, just before retiring.
SIENNA tea is an excellent laxa-
tive that should be known in ev-
cry household. Purchase ten
cents worth of SIENNA leaves from
the druggist. Put in a cup as
many as can be held between the
finger tips, pour on boiling water,
and allow the tea to steep until
a dark brown in color. Drink
hot or cold. Half a cupful each
morning viii keep the bowels in
excellent health.

The Caspian Sea.

The Caspian sea is, as Herodo-
tus said 1000 years ago, "a sea
by itself, having no connection
with any other" Every school
boy knows that now, but it is re-
markable to find Herodotus say
ing so, because centuries after
his time such authorities as Stra-
DO and Pliny believed that it was
connected with the northern
ocean by a long and narrow gulf.
Geography seems to have had a
setback in the interval through
false information received at the
time Of AleXander's conquests.
Herodotus says that the Caspian's
length was fifteen days. voyage
with a rowboat, its breadth
eight days Since the actual
figures are $50 miles and 400,
this shows that a rowboat of the
time did fifty miles a day. Lon
