HACK O'BRIEN NOT
 POPULAR IN GOTHAM

What promises to be a pretty nice fight. win be the one between Stanley Ketchell and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in New York, one week from tonight. Evidently the Philadelphia real estate man is not very popular in Gotham, Judging from this torrid one in The New York World:
 Another sensible thing Johnny White has done Ia to have the articles binding the bout between Stanley Ketchel and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien drawn up In such castiron way that if the referee. Tim Hurst. says the word neither one will receive a penny and the members will get their reser- vation cash back. So keep your cou- pons. friends. for. If Tim Hurst has a conscience. he will probably have to use 1t next Friday night week.
 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien couldn't fight fair If he tried. He has confessed over his own signature. in a syndicate series of famboyapt articles that he fax ed most of his fights. That he lay down when he was paid. That he paid other fellows to lay down. That he framed draws and knock -outs ad nau- seam.
 If I were the manageHof classy club like the National l wouldn't allow this mountebank to get his nose inside its portals. even as a guest of mem Der.
 Now that the match is arranged, I hope Ketchel hands it to him so hard the faklr will be biffed out of the game for the rest of his life"

Johnson Is the only man who has been different He does not act the same as other boxers and Is different from the average, He Is big kid. He means all right. but acts as he does because he knows no better"
 Would you get as light in weight If you met Johnson again?"
 No: l made the biggest mistake of my life in getting down as I did. know I did not do myself justice but know him now.

 Tt Is a hard job for the manager to keep him straight and prevent hIs be- coming dissipated. They are before the public, or at least in the public eye more than any other men on the team and they are therefore subjected to more temptations.
 "The young pitcher with a strong arm and skill Is invariably the ladyS y man, so to speak. If he will but allow 1t, or rather if his manager will but allow 1t, he will become so dssipate In little while that he Is no good and then pop goes the weasel
