WHITE MAN WANTED
JACK JOHNSON NOT LIKED AS
 CHAMPION BECAUSE OF COLOR.
Al Kaufman Looks to be the Best of the Big Boys. But Be is Eager to Combat With
 the Negro.

Fight promoters are looking for an opponent for Jack Johnson. the new heavy weight champion.
 GThe negro is now doing a vaude- vile turn in Australia. in search of the mighty dollar. Johnson was al. most penniless when he fought Burns and he will not run chance of losing his new laurels until he has feathered his nest considerably. Eventually he must fight. and there are two men who are being touted to spring into prom . thence as an opponent.
 Sam Langford. negro with a mighty punch who showed his class by put ting Flynn to sleep only recently, is mentioned as one of the men who have chance with Johnson, but the public is not seeking new negro champion. A white man Is wanted Billy Delaney Says he has that man in the person of Al Kaufman. but does not want to match him againet the drsky fellow.
 This Kaufman Is young. strong as a giant. and it is stated by Delaney that he has developed into a shifty boxer He Is as tall as Johnson. almost as heavy and has arms fully as long as those of the negro. Delaney is ambi- tious to develop another champion be- fore he sretires. and firmly believes that In Kaufman he has the man. What Kaufman needs is fights and Delaney, who is looking after him. will start at once a campaign of construction to fit the big fellow for the worlds title.
 Stanley Ketchell. who recently sil- enced Billy Papke. the Iowa Thunder bolt, is a likely heavyweight cnndi- date, but he must pick up at least thirty pounds before he will he able to stani up in front of big man like Johnson. He is said to be putting on weight every day. however, and may in a year have gained the required weight.
 Now that Jim Corbett has expressed his willingness togo against the ne- gro the sporting world will wait to see the irish of the black fellow.

 The scarcest thing in baseball cir cles these days is promising young eatchers. Men who can make good in fast company are few and far between. Clark Griffith says that good catch CT Is the hardest thing to ind in the baseball field. He says that young sters could better themselves if they would try to become backstoppers in- stead of fwfrlers. ..-
 It is strange how the demand for players runs in circles. Only a few years ago there was a dearth of third basemen and then this was followed by & scarcity of first basemen. and now 1t is the catchers. When Lajofe. Eyers and some of the, other second seekers retire. the magnates will go on a hunt for guardians of the keystone Shortstop Is always we'll taken care of. as the youngsters who cannot ritch pick that position as the next most de- sirable playing position and as a re- suit new speed marvels are. constantly being developed.

UNION HILL, Dec. 23.-Geese and

saulted the cradle through a window,
but the baby was unhurt save for a
few scratches.
In front of the store, on the oppo-
site side of the street, William Taylor

MAYOR WANTS

HOBOKEN, Dec. 23.-There is con-
siderable guessing in political circles
here as to the text of the message of
Mayor-eleet Gonzales, which will be
presented to the Common Council when
it reorganlzes ON January 1. 1t is the
eoncensus of opinion that the message
will cover many points n will adj
vocate some radical changes In the city
government.
While the M~ayor-elect will not dis
cuss the purport of his message, it is
known that the financial conditions will
receive considerable attention from
him. Mr.. Gonzales will point out, it is
said, many ways in which the city can
save money, and in so doing reduce the
tax rate.
Another matter that has caused much
talk among the politicians is the stand
Mr.. Gonzales has taken regarding the
officials. 1t is stated that many OF the
present Offices will be abandoned, If he
succeeds in having the suggestions in
the message adopted by tho Council.

BROKAW, ON STAND,
ADMITS CHARGE
He REV|LEO WIFE
Declares She Falsely Accused
Him of Flirting and Drink
ing on Honeymoon.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-When w.
Could Brokaw took the stand in his
own defense in his wife's suit for sepa-
ration at Mineola today he was led by
HIS attorney back to he time of his
marriage with Mary Blair, In 1907, ana
gave his version of incidents on their
honeymoon. He said he spent about
$500 in making purchases for Mrs.
Brokaw on their trip to Montreal, on
their return from which they went to
the Hotel Seville, in New York.
From his account, the troubles that
arose between the couple began early,
and We're u to Mrs. Brokaw's actions.
While at the Seville, he testified, he
went out and bought some flowers for
his wife, and on his return she accused
him of having been in the Of
another woman.
Did our wife call you a liar?'' he
was asked.
Eyes, and l called her a liar in re-
turn" was the reply.
Mrs. Brokaw also accused him of
drinking when he had not been doing
SO, said Mr.. Brokaw, Who went on to
deny that he had repeatedly sworn at
his wife or had said hat he could not
live with such a woman as she was.
Jumping to an incident in Baltimore,
Mr.. Brokaw told of undergoing an
operation and of having requested his
wife to remain at home to keep him
company While he was convaleseing.
She insisted. however, on going out
with the doctor. When she returned
there was a quarrel. Mrs. Brokaw's ver-
sion of the incidents of that quarrel,
however, was c%ontroverted by her nus
band.
Mrs. Brokaw touched lightly on the
episode at the dinner table in which
Jimmie" was said to have figured.
The witness declared that he did not
leave the table because his wife was
flirting with Martin, who at the time
was only twenty-five years old and had
been married only a yea
Another occasion when Mrs. Brokaw
had accused him of visiting a
was referred to by the witness who
said that the epithet of liar had
again passed between them in the re-
sulting quarrel.
Did You ever threaten to leave your
wife if h did not stop. flirting with
Mr.. Gould?" Mr.. Brokaw was asked.
His answer was an emphatic negative
as was that to a question as to whether
he had his clothes packed ready for
removal on this alleged occasion.
