big boy would cut off both arms and
legs before he would turn a dishonest
trick, and that is why the fake inter-
view with Governor Gillett did not
stand up, and it also is the why of the
Delaney case wherein former great
trainer has slapped himself with a
boomerang in trying to say something
dirty about the cleanest, squarest,
greatest and best fighter the world ever
knew.
Umpire McGreevy will be the main
guy on the job during the Vernon
Sacramento series and there is no bet
ter in the business, not even George
Hildebrand, who is probably the most
popular umpire in the league. Mack is
a good scout "a fair and impartial
judge and a most competent hand on
the Job, and the fans should give him
their support and confidence. McGree-
Wy and Hildebrand outclass all other
umpires in the league and it would be
fine move by the Coast league di-
rectors if they would insure harmony
and peace in the southland ranks of
the fans by assigning these umpires to
work here throughout the season. No
more Finneys or Van Haltrens are
wanted down this way.
Marty Kane brought his twice-broken
arm back to Los Angeles last Sunday
and put it on exhibition Monday and
yesterday to disprove the outrageous
statements made by the opposition that
he had quit in his fight at San Diego.
The fact that Marty had all the better
of the bout up to the time of the
accident and fought eight more rounds
with only one hand as gamely as he
fought under the same conditions here
against the same opponent, makes him
even more popular with the fans than
if he had won. His opponent is trying
to take on undue and undeserved credit
for his accidental victory by charging
Marty with cowardice and with quit
ting, but such charges do not find cred
it among the fans who have seen
Marty fight him to a standstill with
only left hand to make his offensive
and defensive efforts. Despite that his
opponent has won two victories over
him under precisely the same circum-
stances the fans generally believe that
Marty is the better and classier fighter.
He has proved it.
Howe Williams, sporting editor of the
Arizona Republican, published at Phoe-
nix, wires as follows: "W. G. DalZell,
manager of Al Christensen, wants to
arrange a wrestling match with Fuku-
ia, best two in three, for 800 or more
side bet, winner take all, match pref
erably to be staged in Phoenix. Will
wrestle Jap style" This certainly is
a game challenge by any white wrest-
ler, as the jiu-jitsu style of wrestling
practically is new to American mat ar
lists, and Christensen must be some
wrestler to offer to bet on himself in
a match with an accomplished and
champion artist at the Japanese game.
Monte Attell seems to be improving
with passing days down east. He
trimmed Patsy Brannigan, the Pitts
burg devil at the bantam game, last
Monday night and disposed Of what
ever chances the Pittsburg boy ever
had of attaining the championship
even if the bout was declared a draw.
Coulon whipped Brannigan, anyway
so the Smoky city scrapper does not
figure to have any chance with the
champion.

JOHNSON ANNOUNCES
FLANAGAN AS MANAGER
Amateur Athlete and Sig Hart to
Do Clerical Work About
Negro's Camp

SAN FRANCISCO, June THAT
Tom Flanagan, who came to San Fran
cisco to assist johnson in his training.
will act as business manager of the
colored champion until after the fight
was the announcement made this after
noon at the beach quarters. Johnson
made the announcement in the follow
ing statement:
Tom Flanagan will help me manage
my business affairs until July g. 1910.
While not a prize fighter, he is one of
the best known amateur athletes who
has ever competed, and is respected for
his honesty and integrity by the press
and public the world over When the
Marathon craze hit the east after the
Olympic games in London in 1908,
Flanagan spent his time and money
developing Tom LongbOat, the Cana
dian Indian, and other famous runners
in turning over to the professional
ranks in order to secure good compe-
tition."
AS a matter of fact, this statement
means that Johnson will conduct his
own business affairs, and that he Will
have no manager for the time being.
Flanagan and Sig Hart will do the
clerical work, but it will be the name
of Jack johnson that will be attached
to any and all contracts.
George Little, aside from making
threats to acquaintances in the down.
town section about stopping the fight,
kept himself very quiet. Johnson served
notice on the proprietors of his training
camp that he would not remain if Lit
tie was allowed around the quarters,
and the Chicagoan was conspicuous
today by his absence.
Johnson did road work in the morn
ing. He went the usual course of
something like twelve miles, but speed
ed UP more than has been his custom.
1t was the program to do some gym
nasium work in the afternoon, but on
account of cold weather and the fact
that he is low in weight he laid off in
the afternoon.

clever slugging, forcing the fighting all
the time with his non-hghting op-
ponent. Jeffries covered up nearly all
the time and only occasionally came
out of his shell to try swapping wal
lops with O'Connell. He showed
flashes of good form, when he would
try to fight, but these instances were
so infrequent that O'Connell had big
lead in every round. O'Connell looks
like a good one, being clever, fast and
an excellent ring general.
REES TRZlIS sISORA
Kid Rees again trimmed Paul Sikora
in their six-round bout, which was
one of the fastest and best scraps
staged in the Maud ring in a long
time between the minor event lads.
Rees kept on the aggressive all the
way and never permitted Sikora to get
set for a blow. Rees showed terrific
wallop and administered severe pun
ishment to Sikora on the head and
body. Rees had a wide margin at the
final gong.
RIVERS STOPS LEAHY
Young Rivers, the promising feath-
erweight that King Hogan recently
took under his managerial wing,
stopped Martin Leahy in the third
round of their scheduled ten-round
bout after a fierce, one-Sided battle
all the way. Leahy never had a chance
with Rivers, who was too fast, clever
and hard-hitting for the slim young
ster. After Rees had put Leahy down
in the third and beaten him until he
was groggy and unable to defend him
self, Captain Dixon of the police de-
partment stopped the hght.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN
WORDS

Mr.. Roosevelt is inveighing against
all kinds of wrong doors. In his Chi
cago speech he told in flaming words
what kind of candidates 81 stand for, !"
He told also how he would pursue
criminals and how he would punish
wrong doors. 1t is now recalled that
the Sugar Trust was prosecuted and
on confession of guilt since Mr.. Taft
became president, for its violation of
the Sherman act in leasing and "squel-
ching" the Penn. Sugar Refining Co.,
it paid $2,OO0,0OO damages. Mr.. Earl
of the injured company testified as fol-
lows in that case:
81 took this testimony to Washing
ton when Mr.. Roosevelt was President
and could not get him or his Attorney
General, Mr.. Bonaparte, to look at it..
insisted that the method of getting
control of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re
finery in this city was fraudulent and
that the trust officers should be prose-
cuted, but they refused to listen to
me-"
So we see that when ''these self con-
fessed" criminals and buccaneers were
being prosecuted, the evidence was laid
before Mr.. Roosevelt and his Attorney
General, Mr.. Bonaparte, and they
would not look at it. The Sugar Trust
has been credited with being good
campaign contributor. Possibly there
is line drawn between 'sgoodn and
"bad" corporations.

A STATUE TO THOMAS 3. REED:

A statue was this week unveiled to
the late Thomas B. Reod, at Portland,
Maine. There is no one who did so
much toward this as his close personal
friend, Col. Augustus G. Payne of New
York, who has labored industriously
for this accomplishment lever since
Mr.. Reeds deaJh. In a recent con-
versation with Col. Payne, who is
himself now growing old, he said that
the last real ambition of his life was to
see this work accomplished, and we
went over many of Mr. Reeds charac-
teristics, for it was in Col. Payne's
office in New York we first met Mr..
Reed. In the erection of this monu-
ment it has been brought out that Mr..
Reed retired frompublic life, because
be became disguised at the imperial
policy of this government in acquiring
the P hilippines, which he spoke of as
'sthe last Colonial curse of Spain, " and
our first. MI. Reed was called "Czar
Reed" but as we lool, back upon his
career, which was intensely partisan,
he will be seen standing at all times
fiat footed on the constitution.

RAILROAD LOGIC

President Ripley of the Santa Fe
railroad, in testifying before the Inter
stat. Commerce Commission at Chi
cago, in an.enquiry now going on as to
the necessity..for railroads raising their
present tariffs, said in extenuation OF
the act.that about 70 per cent. Of all
m oney collected by the roads went
back in one way or another to the peo-
pie. In the event the rates were dou-
bled or trippled the same would be the
Case of course. The rake off by the
roads would only be 80 per cent. in
any event. What valid and enchant-
ing excused for higher tariffs. 1t is
claimed. that of all the taxes paid by
the people, the whole of it goes back
into their pockets again, by some pro-
cess. The taxes might, therefore be
increased on such an argument to any
extent, Isinceithe only thing done is to
let some favored persons finger their
money, then they kindly give it back
again to the:peopIe. OF course all the
railroads want to do is to finger the
money.

ABOUT TO BE CONVICTED

We are living on promises. "Taft and
prosperity" were the slogans of the
last election. We got Taft, but the
prosperity never. 1t is as plain as day
that something is wrong. That some
thing, is the result of republican laws
and republican party policies, waste
fulness, graft and class legislation.
For once the democrats are not charg-
ed with crime. For once in their long
and eventful career of mistakes, and
socalled political criminality, they to
day walk free men, with no Indictment
against them. What of our friends,
the republicans They are indicted
many times, and the witnesses come
from their own ranks. They are about
to be convicted. They have been
purging their ranks, and offenders
have been cast hither and thither,
driven out and thrown overheard.

but their policies-they are here and
rise as witnesses, and will surely con
vict.

AN APPROACHING CRISIS

1t is certain that this country is near
ing crisis. There is now being pro-
mulgated from the forum by Colonel
Roosevelt, doctrines, whether right or
wrong, which are going to revolution
ize this country. There are many who
are afraid of Col. Roosevelt. Many
who distrust his motives. Many be
lieve p ersonal ambition and not pub
lie good, is at the bottom of what he is
saying and doing. They see in him
another Napoleon, who wishes to
write his name over everything; that
is, that the Constitution is not to be
genuine, hereafter, unless signed, 7. R.
So with Magma Charta, the Bill of
Rights, the Declaration of Independ-
ence, the ordinance of 1887, the Eman-
clip alton Proclamation, and the Sher-
m -Elkins antitrust Law. Of course
there are many others which are mot
genuine unless blown in the bottle, u
but those cited will answer as SAM
pies of what many think his aims and
ambitions extend to, in part. They
say we have president, but nobody
looks to him for policies, all are watch
ing, listening to, seeking advice, coun-
sci and inspiration from the Colonel,
who is now "thundering" through the
West. 1t is needless to say that what
we usually regard as ssthe business in
terests" are taking on genuine alarm.
They say it is two and half years
until the next presidential term be-
gins, but if he can so upset the country
now, and cause such alarm now, what
will he be able to do when the time
approaches for another election to take
place ? THERE'S none who does not
believe that his eye is steadfastly fixed
on the White House, that he is not
writing new policies, but that he is
giving expression to those he has long
held to, but which during his former
terms he did not press because he did
not then feel that the country was
ripe for them. Now insurgency in
both parties has broken forth. He was
a born Insurgent, and it is as natural
that he should line up with them as
that he should breathe air. Therefore
he is to head insurgency, and at the
head of it, is to lead them to victory.
There is no doubt that a crisis is at
hand.

THEIR SINS HAVE FOUND THEM
OUT

Afterlhaving gone to Cuba to attack
the Spanish, to Africa to attack the
lion, having been reared in the Rock
ies-as it were-where he attacked the
"grizzly", having attacked the crimi-
al rich, and the malefactors of great
wealth, from the White House, having
attacked the corporations from many
points, heretofore, and just within the
last few days, he now attacks the SUI
preme Court of the United States.
In 1896 the democratic platform was
said to have attacked the Supreme
Court, and there were some who had
all their lives called themselves demo-
Gratis who were SO outraged by this
''attack" that they bolted and voted
the republican ticket, giving this as
their excuse for so doing. That bolt
helped to make possible a republican
president, and those conditions made
possible, or led up to the election after
awhile of Col. Roosevelt, who now
makes this direct attack upon that
august body. Mr.. Bryan was the can
didate on that platform of 1896, which
so outraged these sticklers for Supreme
Court ''les majestic" Mr.. Bryan has
never been heard to utter even faint
criticism of that body. Mr.. Bryan
was opposed for these platform utter
ances, and because he favored proper
control of corporations. Yet these
very corporations in their selection lat
er chose the very man they now so con-
denim. There is little sorrow for them
now, little sorr Nv for those who help
ed them elect the man who now does
all the things they so much condemn
ed in Mr.. Bryan. Those who are SO
awed by his expressions in his speech
at Denver before the Colorado Legisla-
ture, he'd as well get their loins girt
about, TO endure that which is coming
to them. Mr.. Roosevelt is swimming
the West" again. He is making sure
of his nomination for president in 1913
and so sure as nominated he will be
elected. Not by New York. Not GER
tainly by Wall Street, but by the
masses of the South and West, whose
ears are not Jared by the words he is
now uttering, because those against
whom he inveighs have brought the
condemnation on their own heads.
Their sins have found them out
