But regarding a fight with Jack Johnson Jeff declares that he will not be ready to sign articles boilermaker talks fight nowadays sporting men laugh.

JOHNSON DIDN'T
 KNOCK OUT ROSS
Big Negro Demonstrates Lack of Wallop in Six Round Bout with Newcas- tie Man.

Pittsburg, Pa.,. July 1.-In the pres- ence of about six thousand fight lovers last night, Jack Johnson and Tony Ross went six rounds in Duquesne Gar den. There was never a. moment when the colored champion was in danger. seemed a trifle surprised by the New Castle, Italians speed.
 In the first round Ross rushed to a cfinch as if anxious to know the worst at once. In the breakaway he whipped a left to Johnson.s head that made the big fellow blink and grin. Johnson, too, was fighting from the first and went after the stocky white man.
 There was an exchange of blows in which Johnson forced Ross to break ground, but a moment later Ross came under Johnson's guard for a hard smash in the stomach. This made Johnson mad, and he rushed Ross like a man bull, smashing and upper cut ting and lifting Ross clear off his feet with one of his blows. Ross lay out on the hard floor and seemed gone. but managed to get on his feet at the. count of nine. Just as Johnson rush. ed him again the bell rang. Ross was saved.
 There was a considerable lessening of speed by Johnson in the next two rounds, though it was evident that he was holding himself, while Ross show, ed great weakness for clinches.s On several occasions Ross uppercut John son in the breaks, and the big fellow being used to so much exhibition work recently, did not seem to relish this treatment.
 The last three rounds kept Referee M.- J. Connolly busy breaking the, men apart, as Ross WAS disposed to clinch to save himself.

 egg and Took Twelve.

Artie Romer arrived in Bridgeport yesterday after two weeks suspension, clearly showing to the multitude that he was not in condition. Nolte, who relieved him. was worse, while Tay- Tor, something new from the Eastern Association, was showed in in the ninth session, one hit being corralled from his delivery. It was the leading slug gers of the league, the New Britain, whom three pitchers were pitted against, and the way the former slammed the ball all over Newfield showed who the clouters were. They were not content with a shutout, but rubbed it in good and hard, rounding up a dozen tallies. Sandwiched be- tween the hits of the visitors were every man on the team being an of fender except Bannon and Taylor, the latter not being in long enough to show how he could slip up. The locals never been any kind of coaching. It was right at the start the home team slip ped up in this particular. Stefnhauser was hit by pitched ball. Bannoh's sacrifice brought both Almedia and Ward upon the ball. There they de- liberated and the sacrifice went for hit. Steinhauser seeing that third was unguarded, and thinking That the ball had been thrown to first, beat it for the third station. Almeida held the hands. Hilt's grounder to first would have placed Steinhauser on third while Ladd,s fly to the outfield would have scored him. Ea
 Chappie ward showed something in the pitching line, letting down the To- calls with three hits, two of which were scratches. TheSthfrd, a wicked wallop of Kocherss. might have been fielded had not Ward gotten his chest in the way of it. The score:

RING SIDE GOSSIP

Battling Nelson has thrown down a questionable gauntlet to Packy Mo- Farland. He says he will take Mo- Farland on for forty-five rounds at 13S pounds ringside, and will bet him $5,- 0O0> to 2,500 on the result. Mcfarland cannot make theis weight unless he 'weakens himself physically and Nell son knows it. Several months ago Nell son signed articles to fight Mcfarland at 133 pounds scale six hours before ring time. Mcfarland posted a $5,0O0 forfeit, but Nelson did not cover it in- side of the specified time limit and fin ally declared the match off, with the explanation that the Chicago pugilist had too much to say" Mcfarland promptly accused Nelson of cowardice and the latter was roundly scored by fight critics in general. Nelspn's new to Mcfarland to make the weight at ringside, therefore is regard ed as a, clever bluff. Since beating Hy- land and Clifford, second raters, Nelson has been blowing his horn at a great rate.

Umpire Mason gave the worst exhi- bftion of umpiring yesterday ever seen at Newfield. His style the day before was bad, but yesterday was fearful. He was so bad that the grand stand threw lemons his way, but curse it. none of them hit him. He stopped the game on one occasion and threatened to put a kid out of the grounds if he threw the lemon which he held in his hand. The kid beat it for cover, al- though a number requested that they be given the fruit to hurl at Mason.

Manager Connery of Hartford has protested the Senator-Waterburyg game of yesterday because of a decision by Umpire Cullen. In the ninth inning after two Senators were out Lefty Leverenz hit for two bags. In taking second he fell over Captain Mike Doherty of the Authors iniuring his leg. Leverenz asked for a runner, Doherty selecting Hart. Connery ob- jected as Hart would soon hat. and man cannot be taken from the base when it is his turn to bat. Scanlon was on the coaching line and as Doherty insisted upon Hart running and declined to allow Scanlon to run, Connery took I-everenz out of the game and put Scanlon in his place. When Scanlon stepped on the bag, Con- nery ordered Leverenz to the bench. and as he walked across the diamond Bronkie touched him with the ball Umpire Cullen calling him out.
