NEW YORK, Sept CAS- Charley
White boarded train today for Bos-
ton, en- route to referee the Langford-
Jeanette fight before the Armory
Athletic club, he told his friends that
they Gould bet the works" on the
scrap IL they desire. White said
there would be no stalling but real
fight throughout. That either man is
pulling. or that there Is an under
standing.
Jeanette, a magnifcently built
Negro. has met both Johnson and
Langford each six times. He has new
er been knocked out and for the last
eighteen months has been fighting In
Paris and doing well. In four six
round contests. the first on May 3,
1905, he more than held his own with
Johnson. but In two 15-round COS one
in Baltimore and the other in Chel'
sea, Mass, Johnson got the decision.
Both Jeanette and Langford will
scale fully twenty pounds more to-
night than upon their last meeting.

feet after diving for the ball, much

An inexcusable error by Catcher

test going 10 tie. In the second in
ming with the bases full Cobb rolled
slow grounder towards Hartzel. He
made a good play on the ball and
the wildness netted only one run and
ground and well on the inside to keep
away from the runner. Stephens
dropped the ball. The muff let Lou
dell across the plate and subsequent
developments showed the misplay
very costly.
Loudell was overcome with wild
ness In the third that, for a time,
promised TO become very profitable
for the Browns. He threw eight
straight balls TO Stephens and Bailey.
Then he handed Truesdale one. and
then managed TO get a strike over. All
thew ildness netted only one run and
this was the first OF several golden
opportunities the Browns passed up.
Newnem pulled a heady play in the
third. With TruesdaIe he tried the
hit-and-run. 7. Jones came I'm expect-
Ing n bunt. whereupon Newman lifted
little Pop fly behind first base and
got a single. The hit scored STEPHENS
and put Truesdale on third.

JOHNSON NEEDN'T WORRY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Sporting ex-
perts who returned from Philadelphia
today unite In declaring that Jack
Johnson need not worry about his
title. Neither AL Kaufman, who got
the decision OF the majority OF the
spectators. nor Bill Lang, the social
ed Australian marvel. have any IL
cense TO fight Johnson. On their
showing of last night neither man
would last much more than round,
IL the opinion of the local experts can
be relied on.
Instead of having the slowness and
decision that in the past character
lied his actions, Kaufman. the fight
sharks say, seems to have added to 1t.
He has TO set himself before deliver
ing a blow, and, although In four OF
the six rounds last night he outclass-
ed Lang. every time he seemed to
have a chance to put over a knockout
punch he thought about II until Lang
covered up or got out OF danger.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
RACE In NUTSHELL

Detroit was the only club to
win two games on Labor Day.
The Athletics won from New
York in the afternoon because
Vaughn made a wild pitch.
Coombs allowed New York five
hits. In the morning the Highland
ers got but three hits. The Ath-
leties' pitchers wore Wild and lost
the game that way.
In the morning Hardness held
the White Sox TO three hits and
the Maps won easily. In the af-
ternoon FaIkenberg was not eff
feetive, the White Sox getting IS
hits.
Boston got only four hits of
Gray and otey In the afternoon
contest, yet they were turned into
five runs, some errors helping ma
terislIy. In the morning the Ma
tIonals outbatted Boston.

COLORED BOXERS FIND PACE
PRETTY HARD THING TO FOLLOW

Can a colored boxer stand the cham
pionship pace? This Is question
worthy of great amount OF consid-
Grafton, and perhaps more right now
on account of the recent death OF Joe
Cans, mourned and remembered as
! the Old Master. The passing or Cans,
who, by the way, was one who helped
to uplift the game. recalls the finish
of other Negro fighters who have
fought their way to the top, only TO
drop back suddenly from the pug1lis-
tic llmelight. Just as suddenly have
these few been claimed by the grim
reaper, and in each the end was un-
timely.
Before Cans there went George Dix
on. the valiant little featherweight,
who listed among his friends all the
white followers of the sport. Then
there was old Peter Jackson, the vet
eran of many a scathing heavyweight
battle, but who, on account OF his col
or, never attained his one ambition
that of champion Of the big men.
All Fell Victims to White Plague.
II was the fate Of these three, and
they were all marvels more or less In
their respective times. to pass into
the great beyond, victims Of tuber-
culosis. That three of them should
meet the same kind of an end, and
the fact that they were all Negroes,
leads one to ask what reason can &C
count for 1t. In addition, there were
any number of other Negro boxers
who. while never considered cham
pion possibilities. bore enviable rec
ords, and each and every one OF them
has passed into oblivion insofar as
the outside sporting world is concern
ed
Chief among them was Joe Wal
colt. who In his prime was terror,
but now seems to have dropped from
the face Of the earth, due perhaps to
the fact that his long career In the
ring has left him in a state popularity
classed nowadays as "all in" He was
last heard of some time last fall,
when he appeared up In Portland, Me-,

ind another colored fighter who was
always known as hard hitter, but on
account of his color was never conced-
ed clear claim to the heavyweight
championship. He was in his prime
at the time John l.. Sullivan held
sway over the heavies, and as the. lat
ter never would consider meeting a
Negro. Jackson was eliminated entire
ly.
An idea OF just how good Jackson
really was Is furnished by the mere
fact that he fought a memorable Oh
round draw with Corbett in San Fran
cisco back In May, 1891. The battle
was one OF the longest ever witnessed
on the Coast, and II was at this time
that Corbett was looming up as a pos
sible successor to John l.. Sullivan. 1t
was only a little more than a year
later, Sept. Z, that Gentleman Jim
knocked out the veteran of the bare
knuckle days In the 21st round In

as much as anything else which hur-

For cleverness he was the original

the Old Master followed his style
more or less, and he never knew the
sting of knockout until the last bat

His number Is as good as hung out.

Mr., Hurst CRASHED and gritted his
teeth. seized his hat and hustled Out
TO the highways and byways to bet
every friend he met that the colt Tim
Hurst wouldn't be among the first
three in his race. His friends ate up
the price he offered, and then the UNI
pire sat near a ticker. calling himself

his friends out of their good coin.

Tim Hurst. the baseball umpire and

man when he first began, nor, in fact,
did he pick up wisdom until he had
been fighting the old running game
for good many years. One of the
things that served TO teach him wis
dom was the fact that a two-year-old
was named after him. This was three
years ago The colt faced the bar
rier for the first time at the Ascot

have been for the spectator who was

In the old days before chunks Of

was some sort OF fixed system for lin

Today there ia no method and the

Some of the Smaller
Institutions.

CHICAGO. Nov. 21.-Following the
defeat of Minnesota at the hands OF
Michigan in their annual struggle Sat
urday. reports in football circles here
today have IL that some drastic action
among the conference colleges may bs
expected before next year
Efforts will b made to bring Michi-
gan back into the conference or the
life OF the conference itself will be
threatened by other collgs pulling
away, according to Tn reports.
II is known that Minnesota is far
from satisfied with the present ar
rangement, due a great deal TO the
fact that for two years they have won
the conference honors only TO have
the western conference championship
snatched from them by Michigan. a
nome conference school.
A big Five" has been suggested,
comprised OF Michigan. Chicago, Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. This
would freeze out Indiana, Purdue.
Northwestern and Iowa. II is known
that all of the colleges favor the pre-
serving OF the conference, but the at
titude of Minnesota will undoubtedly
decide whether new arrangement
shall be made.
It is not believed that Minnesota
would favor drawing out OF the con-
ference as Michigan did, although the
Gopher authorities have followed. with
envious eyes the success of the VOL
verines in spite OF the fact that they
divorced themselves from the western
