KAUFMAN SEEMS
To HAVE BEST SHOW
TO FIGHT NEGRO

Following the attitude he has pursued
since a match between him and Jack
johnson was proposed, Jim Jeffries let
the negro's forfeit of $1,000 go uncov-
cred when the time-limit expired LAST
night.
Johnson's forfeit of So 900 is till IN.
This puts it up to Billy Delaney, man.
ager of AL Kaufman. and it now ap.
pears that kaufman has the right to
demand a fight with the giant colored
maj for the worlds championship, or
Johnson must TAX a seat away in the
rear and say that he was only frollickin'
round when he put up his cash-that
the cash was merely an advertising
scheme and that he hopes no one will
be mean enough to take his money.
kaufman's DIN was first to cover
that of the champion, and it is up to
him to either demand a fight or let
Johnson Off the latter desires to get
out of a scrap. Ketchel then comes TO
the front. He also has a forfeit ut

comes first. Then comes Gentleman
Jim Corbett to have a say. He put UP
a check for the proper amount. This is
to be certified this afternoon, and If the
bank comes through with the proper
stamp and cashiers signature to show
that the paper is as good as cash, he
can come in.

BOWLERS IN n. Y.
zoo of Silk City Rollers to Go
to New York June 4
for Congress.

PATERSON, April 1.-TWO hundred
bowlels of Paterson, headed by Andrew
Mcbride, Mayor of the city, will go
TO New York by special train to at
tend the national bowling champion
sfips in Madison Square Garden from
s4slay "a to Junes IL. The Paterson
Lowlers have set June 4 for the cele-
tIation oil Paterson Day at the tourna-
fHent, and ii is expected that at least
forty hyc-nIan teams win go to New
York from the Silk City.
Mayor Mcbride is a bowler himself,
icing one of nc mean ability, and he
takes a great pride in his home city.
The special train will arrive at the
Twenty-third street station at about
. o'clock, and from the station to the
garden the bowlers will parade, the
popular mayor heading the procession.
Intense enthusiasm reigns in the Silk
City, and il is believed that the Pater-
son bowlers will make a great showing
in the tournament for the champion
ships of America. McGuirk and Grady,
of Paterson, who won the national title
last year in Rochester, rolling a worlds
record, will be in the group.
One of the features of Paterson
Night will be the appearance of a team
of aldermen, who may challenge q
In a special match contest, in which
event special arrangement will be
made for the encounter.
