/ son. He was not riding In automobiles
and did not own solitary diamond Of
any description. Either a beefsteak or
a stake in a crap game looked good
to the now champion. He had begged
Jeff for a fight. but the then champion
declared that he had quit and wouidnt
fight a niger nohow." Jack even
offered TO play easy with Berger. who
was then an amateur, II Sam would
turn professional and take him on. Be
it said to Sans credit that he spurned
the offer and said some mean things TO
Jack.
A Queer Match.
Then the match with Hart was ar
ranged The promoter of the bout stood
for it and acted as referee himself
The agreement was that johnson was
to allow the Kentucky shine" 70 stay
the limit OF twenty rounds and the de-
cision OF the referee was TO be "a
draw" The fight came off and john
son stalled along for twenty long and
tiresome rounds, in any one Of a dozen
Of which the black could have put the
KeDtuckian TO sleep with one good
punch.
Then, to the surprise Of Johnson, but
not to the ones who were in on the
bettin= end, Hart was declared the
winner. It was a raw deal, and John
son got the worst OF it. The records
show today that Marvin Hart beat him
In a twenty-round fight.
Neither Johnson, Berger, Hart, Greg
gains nor any one concerned can deny
a word of this. for I was on the spot
and knew all about the play. long
time afterward, when johnson had
been East and returned to Frisco. vas
present when Greggains met the big
smoke and said, "Howdy." Although
he is as big as Johnson and has been
something of a fighter In his day, he
stood for about as hard a roasting as
/ ever heard q man take without fight
ing Jack told him a few things, and
GTeggains AIDED away
Fans Suspicious.
And these are some OF the things
that naturally make the Frisco fans
skepticaI OF some of our fighters. It
was not quite as bad as the fake be-
tween Joe Cans and their own native
son." Jimmie Britt, but that's another
story.
Just because preliminary articles be-
tween Johnson and Jeffries have been
signed, it is no sure thing yet that the
two wiz ever get together. The first
thing Je4ffses did on bearing OF the sign
ing of The articles was to repudiate
Berger, and declare that his sparriHg
partner had no authority to sign any
thing for him Berger declares il is al
right. and that JEFF will abide by any
action he takes. jeff insists that he
wants a $1,000 side bet. Johnson has
given him side bet Of 5000 at even
money, when he probably will be able
TO get TO at the time Of the battle,
should IL come of. It is small matter
to bubble over the additional 5000 when
there viii be oae or the largest purses
at stake that ever w6s known. II IL
ever happens. IT JEFF should use that
as an excuse for jumping the bout, then
every one would know he never intended
TO fight
Johnson showed his sincerity in dis
belief that he would never meet Jeffrles
in the ring when he offered TO bet Der
ger 81 900 that the meeting would never
come of. This offer was waved aside
by Jeffries' representative.

effries and Johnson Will Start Sixty-Day War at Long
Range, One in Germany and the Other in Cali

For the next sixty days James J.
Je, tries and Jack Johnson will wage
their war Of words at long range.
i'm will be soaking of fat in Ger
many and Jack will be working II of
in California. No matter what both
may be doing. It will not prevent them
from talking, and the tiresone mess will
have to be waded through until the
much discussed meeting finally Is
brought about.

Jimmie Coffroth's club on Labor Day,
He was not certain as to shls meeting

than 5000 for his end UP TO date. The

least $4,000 for. such meeting, or just
$1,000 for each three minute round
Think OF it. 1888 a minute for boxing
with such easy meat as O'Brien ought
to be for a real champion.
Needs the Money.
Black Jack says he needs the money,
bur he wants lots OF It. He admits that
away. and then he has the Ketchel bout
staged for October. If this last named
fight ever cones of it will be Tor a side
bet of 5000 and a percentage Of the gate
receipts. These gate receipts are mol
likely to be very heavy, since the last
showing made by Ketchel with Bill
Papke If that fight had never been
held. or If Ketchel had made as short
work OF Papke as he promised to do
before the fight, then a fight between
him and Johnson would most probably
have drawn record house in Coffroth's
Mission street arena. But neither Of the
two bouts Johnson has in view is at all
certain to come of.
Frisco fans viii not go crazy about a
fight between the champion and O'Bien.
because they know O'BEen TO be a self
confessed faker Out on the coast they
call him Jack the Confessor' This is
because he told all about how he had
a battle framed up with Tommy Burns
and how the mercensry Canuc5 handed
him the 'double-crOss. " At that, O'Brien
showed well when he licked Fitzsim-
mons before Cofroth's club in Deem
Der, 1905. Fitz claimed TO be in good
shape at that time and was expected
TO put the Philadelphia away.
Record Not Clear.
And then Johnson's record is not clear
in san Francisco, either He put up a
punk exhibition with Marvin Hart be-
fore Alex Greggian's club out by the

Berger d.d know it, and he did not

thereby hangs a little tale. It was a
raw deal, and happened this way:

JOE A BIG HELP
TO BROTHER NIKE
Minneapolis Club Is For
tunate to Get Cast Offs
From Washington Team.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug 1s.-Now
that the American Association pennant
race has entered the three-quarter turn
the managers in the first division are
doing all in their power 10 close the
weak gaps and strengthen for TIE run
down the home stretch. There IS a
great howl going up from some Of the
owners over the manner in which the
Minneapolis club is getting help from
Washington, due to the fact that Joe
Cantlllon. manager Of the Nationals. is
also part owner of the Minneapolis club
and is naturally helping his brother
Mike all he possibly can. No one can
blame Joe Cantillon for sending the
best players available TO his Ninneap-
oils team to help win the pennant, for
fl means big money to Joe and his
brother Mike. 10 nail the flag. Any
other manager in the association would
jump at the chance to get players the
way Mike does, and most Of them right
no& are doing their utmost to induce
major league managers to let them
have a few stars.
The Alillers were badly crippled this
week by the injuring OF Tip O'Neil and
Pickering, which with the absence Of
Shortstop Oyler and a pitcher or two, left
them in had shape. Then came Brother
Joe TO the front with Pitcher Tom Hughes
and Outfelder Otis Clymer, and the
Miller fans breathed easier. Milwaukee
lost Catcher Hosretter through illness,
but Manager McCl0skey did not have
any club ike Washington 10 draw

to give the Millers an awful chase for

now. but Manager Mike CantillOu says
when IT comes TO the final sprint the

Manager Clymer has been keeping mum.
but Just the same the Senators have a
sneaking idea that they are still in the
hunt for the flag, and will be there with
bells on during their last stay at home
when they meet the Western clubs. The
Columbus team has made two grand
