SAN FRANCISCO. May 7.-Johnson has
not trained much as yet, but the fight
fans who like the negros changes are
not worrying much over this. as the
negro always shows up in pretty good
shape.
Johnson is sure to be in fine condition
for the Jefrries engagement. 1t has been
the ambition Of the champions life to
beat Jeffries. and now that that oppor-
tunity has knocked at his door 1t is
hardly likely that Johnson Will overlook
such an important matter as condi-
tion.
Just when the negro will start real
work has not been given out as yet, but
he will probably do some light work, be-
ginning Monday. and continue up to a
day or 30 before the big battle.
Johnson played a little baseball yes
terday and he will probably indulge in
some light practice today and tomor-
row.
Tho champion looks right to start
training, and with six or seven weeks
Of good, solid work Johnson should be
in better condition than he ever was be-
fore.

FIRST few minutes. the soldiers more than

narrowly missed scoring, the fort came
away with a rush. Kane shooting outside
with an open goal. The miners then at
tackled strongly. but Tidler cleared In
splendid style. However, Park came again
and from corner beautifully placed by
Meeney, the ball was headed through by
Halton, who was loft unmarked, the first
half ending. Park City l, goal, Fort
Douglas 0.
In the second half the fort opened
strongly, and from Il splendid combined
movement on the left worked In and al

llfed their efforts. From a breakaway
Park City scored the second goal through
HaycocR. who met the ball after Gain
had struck the crossbar Play veered
round to the other end the miners press

with long shot. Although the soldiers
tried hard they were unable to score. and
the game ended: Park City, goals; Fort
Douglas, o.
The form displayed by the soldiers was
q great surprise. and they had quite as
much OF the play on the whole as their
more experienced opponents With a
little more practice in the final touches
they will have a champion team, and by
next fall should stand a good chance for
championship honors. The lineup:

Irish hunting representatives have been
before the estates commissioners urging
them to do whatever Is possible TO pre-
vent the occurrence of anything which
might initiate against the existence of
the sport In Ireland. The commission
ers were most cordial, and desired il to
be known that they were not responsible
for the increase of wire entanglements
in lands which had been divided under
recent land legislation. AS a matter
Of fact, they were opposed to such
fences, but they had no control over
the new tenants, once the land was
vested in them. The deputation con-
sidcred the interview most satisfactory
and Lord FIngall thanked the commits
sioners. In conversation with Trib-
une correspondent several hunting men
pointed out that the use of wire had
been growing lately. and it was feared
that many wealthy Americans and Eng
lishmen would cease to come to Ireland
for the sport. However, the assur.
ances received from the estates com.
missioners, who virtually represent the
government, are expected to have a
good effect.
