Each One to Be Known by Number
Instead--To Have Special Anthem.
All Members Must Contribute a
Speech or Song to Club Phonosraph.
Some quaint clubs have been spring
ing up in London lately. 1t was only
the other day that story appeared
about the foundation Of club In Lon
don on the lines Of the Gridiron club
In Washington, and now 1t is proposed
to open a club with very novel rules
and regulations which promise plenty
of fun to the members. who will be
mostly leading actors. musicians and
others prominent in artistic life. 1t is
to be called ''the Five Hundred"
Every member is to be known by a
number, and should he by accident ad-
dress another by name he will be liza
BILE to a fine. The club Is to have a
special anthem of its own. which every
member win have to learn and sing
when occasion arises.
How Members Announce Themselves.
Another novelty is that an electric
tablet is to be placed in an anteroom
which viii contain every members
number, and on entering the club a
member will have to announce him
self by registering his number on the
tablet. which will be visible in the
clubroom.
No walters will be visible. though
they will be ready behind screen to
attend to the wants of members. who
will write their requirements upon A
slip of paper, drop it into revolving
desk, when 1t will be whisked round
aud returned with the required dish
or drink.
Nor is this the md of the novelties.
To each member will be presented a
key to admit him to the club. and with
it he must close the door on entering
and leaving. Should he lose his key
there viii be fine of 10 shillings to
pay. Should he transfer it, woe in
deed be his lot, for transfer means lia-
bility to expulsion.
Disposition Of Fines.
Then each member must give a
speech. song or defamation for the
club phonograph. and each. too, If

light compared to the volume of

lt was a subdued Ketchel through
out. There was no tiger and no
assassin about him today. He tried
no shift. and even his big right
swing. the one he failed with a dozen
times and landed with in the long
run, lacked the usual snap which ac-
companies the Michigander's attack.

THAT UPPERCUT IN RESERVE.
All the world knows that the most
damaging blow Johnson is master OF
is that nasty right uppercut. which
tears through a mans guard and
iOOsens his teeth. Johnson kept that
thing in reserve today until the
seventh round, and even then he
only used IL few times. 1t may

JOHNSON WISER AND Stronger

In the clinch fighting again Ket-
chel discovered that Johnson knows
more in one round than the average
| fighter learns in career. Without
actually taking a grip OF a hand or
arm Johnson placed his gloves
against Ketchel's biceps or Shout
! ders and used pressure. which rem
dered ketchel as helpless as though
he were tied with ropes. KetcheI.
, as a rule. is away above the average
at clinch fighting. but today he was
powerless. He was held exactly. and
yet he could not free his fighting
machinery. and all the time Johnson
vas looking down into the hitler
mans face and chuckling derisively.
There were other things about
those clinches. They gave an idea
OF JOhnson's immense strength as
we'll Several times he lifted Ket-
chel playfully on his feet and swung
him half around. Once. when Ket-
chefs legs became entangled when
the men were graphing. Johnson
picked Ketchel up with one arm and
placed him squarely on his feet.
Johnson has always assured his
friends that Jeffries' strength has no
terrors for him. After watching the
champion closely in his recent fights.

ketchel would begin whipping his
gloves 20 and fro. sidewisc. and
blinking as though punches were
coming from he knew not where.
Ia boxing, Ketchel was thorough
ly out-classed. and before two rounds
had gone past IL was plain his one
hope was in being able 90 land just
one swing. When Johnson held out
his two hands, as he did in the az
fair with Kaufman. and Ketchel
swung at the body. the lighter mans
gloves fell full foot short Of the
mark. When Johnson holds a man
at bay in this manner. the champ
ions arms seem TO be as long as
oars.
