BritiSher Mad
With Johnson

Word comes from England that II
Jack Johnson fails to keep his en-
gagement with the National Sport
ing Club and Sam Langford In the
matter of glove contest on Derby
Night, he will be made to realize
that life in the British metropolis is
neither beer and skittles nor peaches
and cream.
An English sporting man who
came from London recently and who
was in the city named when Johnson
and Burns were there last year, has
this to say on the subject:
"The National Club was very
kind to johnson. and for aught
know made his trip TO Australia pos
sible. Anyway, the club befriended
Johnson in various ways. UNFOLDING
him strongly in his endeayors to
taunt Burns into fighting before the
Australia match came on the boards.
johnson seemed to be grateful, and
at the time definite arrangements
for the Sydney match were made. he
was under engagement to box Lang
ford before the National Club. The
fight was to take place in February
for a purse of $4,000. Matchmaker
Bettington did not stand in John
sons way when the sydney offer
came up, but he had thorough un-
Outstanding with the colored heavy
weight. johnson promised to return
to London, win or lose with Burns,
and box Langford at the earliest con-
venient date.
Now johnson Gays that there 10
not money enough in It. 1t may sim
ply be that he is trying to blum the
English matchmakers into giving a
larger purse. and he may fall in
this, as the Britishers are steadfast
in their notions as to what consti-
tutes a bargain. Johnson says he
will make plenty of money around
the English music halls. but II is
doubtful II he will do SO II the senti-
ment of English sportdom is against
him. ! hardly think, somehow. that
johnson will throw the National
Club over. II would be rank folly
for him to do so II he really contem-
plated trip to England.

The Hilo baseball season Is rapid
ly approaching its opening day. An
extract from the Hilo paper says:
Baseball players met on Monday
evening when all the teams paid
their $40 fees for the scason--three
senior and three Junior clubs. The
arrangement of schedule was post
poned till Monday next. There were
four nominations for umpire Baird,
Cool, Gresham, and DIR. Colville-
the election to take place next Mon
day. II Is said that plot is being
formed to elect Cool, as the players
want to get even for what they
claim were certain iniquitous deci-
slons last season. II. u. Maa was
elected scorer and grouhdkeeper. and
the ground will be rolled and put in
condition as soon as the weather will
permit. For the opening day the
players are discussing an idea to
give their lady patronesses in. the
grand stand some ice cream and cake.

Cricket Today
On Makiki
Grounds

The cricket match this afternoon
promises to be an interesting one,
and now that the weather seems a
little more settled, good game
should eventuate. The sailors think
they can about beat the locals, but
the latter are. now, after defeating
the British Naval teams, full of CON
fidence.
II more than eleven men side
turn up at the grounds, the teams
will be enlarged and thirteen or
fourteen, as the case may be, will be
played on each side. There will pro-
badly be more than enough players
out to form two teams, aud IL is to
be hoped so, too.
All players are requested to be
out at the grounds at o'clock, and
the game will start at $3.50 p. m.
sharp. Lieutenant Spalding of the
Flora, who IL in town awaiting the
arrival of the Makura, will play with
the Honolulu team today. Spalding
is an aggressive bat and may be de-
pended upon to make good score.
He has been appointed TO the Aus
tralian station and leaves on the c.
