JOHNSON TO CARRY
THE FIGHT To
kETCHEL
Big Black Announces Intention
of Going After Opponent from
First Tap of Cong Both Men
Nervous.
Thy Morning Journal Special Ls"ssd Wire,

tBy Morning Journal Special i.ased Wirs,
san Francisco, oct. l4-Jack
Johnson and Stanley Ketehel, princi-
pals in Saturdays match for the
heavyweight championship. spent a
strenuous day IN their respective
training camps. Neither needed any
additional work. for both are in the
pink OF condition, but they worked
f|uriously under the command Of the
moving picture operator, who spent
the greater part az the day taking the
pictures which win be used as an
Introduction to the real fight pie
lures.
Ketchel has surprised the pugilistic
world 10y announcing that he viii not
carry the fight to his opponent, as
has been his custom in all of his pre-
vious matches He declares that
Johnson as the champion must do the
leading and says that he win not tear
into the big FELLOW unless the latter
shows unexpected weakness from the
start.
ON the other hand Johnson's nan
aetr asserts that his man viii 50 after
ketchel after the sound Of the gong
to score an early knockout, When
reminded thar the picture privilege
might suffer if an early knockout eX-
listed Manager Little declared that
even the prospect OF this loss would
not prevent the champion putting his
opponent down for the count in the
first round if possible.
Betting On the big match showed
an increase today but the odds re-
main 10 to 4 with the champion on
the long end.
Although no change in the odds
occurred. it is believed at the pool
rooms that the flow of short end
money which began today viii soon
cause IA shortening Of the price Con-
siderable money Is being wagered OF
the even proposition that Kctchcl Will
stay for fifteen roGnds against the
champion.
Both of the fighters are |palpahly
nervous on the eve Of the battle and
of the two kctchcl seems to show tn,
greater strain. johnson weighed to-
day and tipped the beam at 1876
pounds. or two pounds lighter than he
expect to be when he climbs through
the ropes saturday. kctchel remains
ii his announced weight of l75
pounds. This he declares to be his
natural weight aud the point at which
he feels strongest.

Magnificent Pitching by Saint

Contested Game for Gem City

before AN immense crowd of a at
the fair grounds yesterday afternoon
the Albuquerque Grays were ienoml-
nouslv whitewashed by the Socorro
baseball club, the final score beng
8 to 0 in favor of the fast Gem city
aggregation. Masterful pitching by
"Rube" Waddell, undoubtedly won
tbe aame for Socorro Waddell was
absolutely tneincible in the pinches.
holding the locals to fOur scattered
hits. Sixteen Grays succumbed be-
fore his mighty delivery. The Socorro
bunch had their fighting clothes on
Yesterday and played III aggressive
game throughout, fielding with ma
chine like precision and batting like
fiends.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
score was lopsided, the exhibition was
a baseball contest from the first to
last and there were enough sppctacu-
lar plays and hair raising stunts pull
ed off to satisfy the most critical fan
in the grandstand.
NeNmyer. the little s%outhpaw,
started to work for the Grays. and
was touched for nine hits in the six
ana one-third innings hat he pitched.
Newmyer had everything there was
hut the heavy hitters on the Socorro
team managed Co pick out the right
ones with startling regularity and six
runs Wcrc piled up during the time he
occupied the rubber. NeWmyer was re-
lived in the latter part of the seventh
by Hidalgo. who was hit three times
in two and tWo-thirds Innings. The
Albuquerque boys played 4 magnili-
cent game in the field and if they
had been successful in garnering hits
from Waddel's hot ones, the score
might have been a little different. The
best battcrg on tho GraYs. however,
famed the air three times in success
sion many times. Tifhc and again AL
huquerque got runnSIa rs far as third
and aeveral times h(smcn on second
and third. Waddc~hoWever, had
heen in pitchcs similar TO those thous-
ands of times before. and knew Just
what to do. He struck out the next
b%attcrs. leaving the unners dead on
the bases.
The feature of The game was the
hitting by Powell. first haseman for
Socorro, who hit four times out of
five times up, making three two base
hits and one good for 4 three Dagger
Powell always managed to have
or two men on bases when he pulled
off his little stunt ana several runs
were the result Of his sWatfests. one
of the high lights of the exhibition was
the sensational capture of a foul pop.

DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN

suit Of n disagreement between the
PRINCIPALS over the status of the for
felt money of $4,000 it looked FOR Il
time tonight as though the Ketchel-
johnson fight would not take place.
Willis Britt, ketchel's manager. stated
later that an agreement had been
reached, however. and declared that
the battle would be fought on Satur-
day according to schedule.
The first word Of the controversy
came from Promoter cuftroth, who
announced that unless he brought
johnson to terms there was little
prospect that the fight would Occult.
He fastened to the negro's training
quarters Immediately afterward. n
forfeit money was posted several
months ago. Johnson placing his
$4,000 in the hands or an eastern
stakeholder and the other entrusting
his to william Naughton. "a local
sporting writer. 1t was understood
that this money WAS TO be placed as
a side bet.

PARkER's FIRST BANK.

The Parker Bank and Trust com- pany opened it's doors Monday with C. C. Dunn as cashier. The business transacted for the first day was very :larteTing and MT. Dunn says that if far exceeded his expectations. The bank starts with a large list of depos- i.ers as its clientage covers a large fled of mining operations and other irGustries which are steadily growing larger. The present building is a one story frame with the banking room in front. with a directors meeting room Iart:tloned off in the rear. The fur nish:ngs. while not rich, are substan- tIa. ana neat in appearance and are sufficient for the present. The off cers of the company are: T. NJ Dren- reI, president; B. L. Vaughn, vice president; G. C. Dunn. secretary, whom with w. H. Holiday. Thos. B. Whit narsh. Carl F. Shader and J. B. Ross, comprise the board of directors.

A WONDER OF THE MODERN
 WORLD.

Perhaps one of the most imposing features of the new canal win be the aqueduct devised for the crossing of Oak Orchard Creek, in the vicinity of Medina. Where the canal is to form gorge ninety feet deep and five hun dred feet wide at the top. Here will be placed a reinforced concrete aque- duct having a single arch of 290 feet, with a length at the top of sos feet. Of course the gigantic locks which will raise and lower the boats above the hills of the New York interior will be constructed with modern pre- cision, and while the engineers are creating the bed for the gigantic dam at Gatun. the agents of the State of New York are not less concerned with the problems incident to the construction of the locks of the barge canal As a matter of fact. were we to eliminate the question of labor and sanitation, and perhaps the problem of providing for the safety of the artificial lake to be created by dam ming the Chagres between Gatun and Bas Obispo. it is certain that the building of the barge canal would be regarded as a far more gigantic un- dertaking. The writer has visited the Manchester, Soo. Panama, Welland and Erie canals. and he is proud to say. as a citizen of New York, that the barge canal. passing through a chain of cities and compelled to cross a series of lakes and rivers. is the equal of the other projects which rank as the four wonders of the modern world.-Ernest Cawcroft in The Bookmaker.

NOTABIES COMING.

Parker is much alive today over the expected arrival tomorrow of Secre- tary Ballinger and Hon. Ralph Cam eron, with several territorial and rail- road officials. Seeing is believing and the writer will wager his summer clothing against a "G-string" that the honorable secretary will be surprised at the great possibilities of this sec tion. and further that something tan gible in the matter of opening this reservation will date from the hour he sets foot on the soil of Parker. We heartily welcome our chief and trust that he will see the conditions as they exist and will get the machinery of the government to work to remove them.
 Many Improvements are being made in Parker which I will mention more fully in my next letter.
