SPORTING NOTES
GOLD TOOTH TWIN IS
P|NCHED FOR SPEEDING

Jack Johnson. pugilist and speed
maniac yesterday was arraigned In the
Harrison street police court and fined
for runnig his automobile at a rate
Of thirty miles an hour down Michigan
avenue where there was imminent
danger that he might kill some one on
the busy thoroughfare.
Johnson simply smiled his gold
tooth" smile when arraigned in Munich
pal Judge Gemmill's court. That john
son is in the habit of using the courts
to advertise himself was made plain
and that he seemed to care little for
the punishment that was about to be
melted out to him was also apparent.
Considering the fact that Johnson has
been arrested in different cities of the
United States and even in Canada for
speeding he escaped luckily yesterday.
He was fined SIS and costs by Judge
Gemmiu, the whole thing amounting to
$25.
Judge Gemmill said after the case
was over that he had fined Johnson
heavier than he did most offenders of
the speed laws. johnson likes to

my court before" said Judge Gemmill.
I generally fine first offenders IS and

we're in Johnson's case"
The police declare that the court
would not have erred on the wrong side
Of justice and mercy If Johnson had
been given a 5000 fine. Johnson has
participated in one automobile acct
dent which nearly cost one woman her
life and which resulted in marrlng her
looks for life.

was brought into court yesterday he
had the ingenious excuse that he was
trying to catch train bound for the
Pacific coast.
Il thought that I was going about
twenty miles an hour and thought that
the law allowed fifteen miles" said
Johnson. Il was going to the North
western station to take a train for
Frisco and was afraid that I would

JEFFRIES
WILL NOT BOX
Johnson Continues Gabfest
in Letter to Brother.

Galveston. Aug. 14.-"Jim Jefries
does not intend 10 meet me"
This was one of the sentences in a
letter sent by Jack Johnson to his
brother here, and the colored boxer
elaborated on the theme He said that
not matter what conditions he made
Jeffries would never agree to oppose
him.
Johnson made one statement which
comes as something of a surprise. This
was to the effect that he had plenty
Of money. He said that all the reports
about his squandering money were a
mistake except so far as they related
to using automobiles He admitted that
he had bought one machine and that
he had spent a considerable sum IN
renting autos in various cities where
he made flying trips. He said nothing
about the numerous occasions on which
he has been fined for exceeding the
speed limits.

BURKE KNOCKED OUT
BY LEWIS IN SIXTH

New York. Aug. lin one of the
most vicious fight that New York has
seen in several years. Willie Lewis
snuffed the light of Sailor Burke last
night at the Farmount Athletic club.
Lewis scored a knockout over his rival
in the sixth round.
When the fight ended Burke was
helpless on the fiat of his back. Up
to the time Lewis connected for the
knockout the sailor had the shade of
the advantage. He concluded to end it
in hurry in the sixth and rushed
Lewis. planting a left to wind. But in
the onslaught Burke left an opening to
his jaw and Lewis quickly awaited him
self o fthe opportunity He slipped a
hard right over Burkes jaw as a flash
followed with a left to the same spot.
Burke sank dazed to his knees He
tried to respond and finally did man
age to stagger to his feet at the
county of six, but without being hit,
nd fatal count continued

DEMANDS
BIG FORFEIT

Jack Johnson declared last night
that he would demand a forfeit of 500
goo the day that the final articles are
signed by himself and Jerries. You
see, I don't believe that JEFF means TO
lgfht," said the champion. He is
simply looking for more advertising at
my expense, and If he wants the pub
licity he is going to have to pay the
price.
1T would be the simplest thing in
the world for jeff to sign up to fight
me within six months. post forfeit Of
$1,000 and then go on the stage and
make so many times that amount that
he could afford to sidestep me and let
me claim the forfeit. He knows he
never can get into shape to fight me-
and I am going to call his bluff the
day we get together to close the match
If he wants to fight he will not be put
to any great hardship by my asking a
$4,000 forfeit, and if simply looking
for publicity he will hesitate a long
time before he puts up $4,000"

Johnson has struck the proper key
note at last and II he will stick to the
above statement he will put himself
square Win the IBntlnB puDliC ana Will
do a whole lot toward clearing up the
haze that now surrounds the Jeff
Johnson affair. It is only fair to the
public that when the final articles are
signed a forfeit of sufficient size should
be posted TO guarantee the appearance
of the men. Not only should a large
sum Of money be put up, but it should
be posted with a reputable stakeholder
who would see that there was no side
stepping without the paying of the
penalty. Johnson's demand for a SEQ

luged with invitations to dances
almost before she had had time to
learn the names of her new-found
admirers. A dozen youths of the
farming country laid their hearts
at the altar of her beauty and
charming personality before the
first month was up.
Her friends-and she had hosts
of them-say that she never ne

country schoolhouse. Nevertheless,

board soon decided that a teacher

teacher remained until the end of
