"YELLOW STREAK"
ROUSES HIS IRE
Johnson Recalls Couple of
Times When He Says Jim
Showed White Feather
By JACK JOHNSON

In reply to James J. Corbett. wish to
state that it is not my purpose to enter
into any MUD singing combat with him.
However, he who has been posing under
the alias of Gentleman Jim started
this sort of campaign long before he
reached San Francisco. Possibly he may
believe that will have to take such in
suits on account of my color. AS to his
assertion that / have a yellow streak,
maybe he is right. Still, no one has
been able up to the present to produce
It, Maybe 1t would be proper to ask
this so called gentleman to define the
meaning of yellow streak and If the fol-
lowing stances (two) would convey to
his mind the proper definition of the
so called term-yellow streak:
About 10 years ago or more in San
Francisco two contestants by the names
of ''Pompadour jim and Sailor Tom"
engaged in a four round bout at the
Mechanics pavilion. The terms of the
contract called for the former to stop
the latter in four rounds. During the
third and fourth rounds Jim finds he
has made q bad match, and the con-
tinued assaults and rushes of the Sailor
forced Jim to "holler"--not once, but
20 times-for the police to take him
away. This exhibition took place be-
fore thousands. The morning following
Corbett attributed this condition of af-
fairs to a French dinner and agreed to
beat Sailor Tom the next time.
One year later this pair again hooked
up in New York and after a few rounds
of a good licking taken by Corbett, the
latter's second. Mcyeagh. jumped into
the ring by prearranged plan to again
save this coward, Corbett.
Jim, would you say either of these
affairs in your mind, or to the best of
your recollection, would come under
the heading Of yellow streak?
AS to your coming to my quarters and
boxing, / would be ashamed to ever
offer you inducements after the ex-
pressions of many as to your shattered
frame. In fact If the truth was known
you hardly scale the middle weight
limit. Now I hope and trust this may
appease your appetite for gallery play
ing, for which YOU are famed.

FITzRERBERT Wins
BROOKLYNHANDICAP
Sam HiIdreth'S Great Racer Has
Easy Time, but Glory of
Event Is Dimn1ed

NEW YORK, May 31.-The Brooklyn
handicap, its glory dimmed by recent
anti-betting legislation, its value as a
stake shrunk to $4,000, as compared
with s19,750 two years ago. was won
today in easy fashion by Sam Hildreth's
Fitzherbert in the presence of a thin
crowd, variously estimated at between
5000 and 5000 persons.
r. T. Wilson Jr.'s Olambala finished
second, a length behind the winner and
q head in front ofsPrince Imperial, the
entry of the Woodland stable.
Coming as it did after the triple holi-
day, coincident with Decoration day, to-
days opening of the Brooklyn jockey
clubs meeting was not as auspicious as
it's promoters had hoped.
Raw, unreasonable weather further
helped to keep the attendance down,
but the chief determining factor was
the stringent laws recently passed at
Albany, which gave racegoers a fe cling
that the likelihood of another Brooklyn
handicap next year is small.
The race, which had frequently
brought together 40, 900 and SO 900 spec
tators and the pick of the thorough
breds OF America, was contested today
by a bare half dozen starters. Fitzher-
bert, at the short odds of to 5, easily
outclassed the field, and the race was
his from the start
Under recent Interpretation placed
upon the anti betting law by the su-
preme court OF the state, oral wagers
made without the passage of money in
public are not illegal, and the bookmak-
ing fraternity made the most of it to-
day. The new law covering oral bet
ting is not effective until September l.

Jim" OFFERS TO
BUY A MONUMENT
Actor Declares Willingness to
Box, but Reserves Right to
Purchase Tombstone

BEN LoMoND, May Slim Corbett
stepped into the limelght at the JEFF
fries training camp today. Jeffries was
all wrapped up in his new automobile
and when the usual crowd of visitors
came in to see the afternoons boxing
they found that Jeffries had flown and
Corbett was there to entertain them.
The two ex champions played hand
ball in the morning and performed
other gymnasium stunts, but soon JEFF
ries was out tinkering with his machine
and Corbett had the gymnasium to
himself for the rest of the day. He
did not box. declaring that his trip
across the continent had made him
sore, But he worked hard to get into
form and said that in about a week
he would be fit for speedy sparring.
Jeffries has not had on boxing
glove for five days.
Corbett declared that he would box
Johnson for charity and would exact
only 10 per cent with which ''he would
buy a monument for Johnson when
Jeffries gets through with him.

else. But this doesn't go now. l will
be the referee and there will be no ifs
attached to my title either"
It is known that great influence had
been brought to bear to land the posi-
tion for Smith, but so far as Smith him
self was concerned. he kept very quiet
and nobody saw much of him. Billy
Nolan was mysteriously interested in
the case in his own peculiar way. This,
however, did not cause a great deal
of surprise. for everybody knows that
Nolan is the greatest manager and ring
politician OF them all, and that he
can always be found right at the front
and fighting where the bullets fly thick
est. But Nolan was not on the scene
last night Instead, he was far away
on his Lake county ranch.
"Rickard always suited me-" added
Johnson. Now / hope that it's all
settled for good and all. 1 am satisfied
that l will get a square deal"
Johnson is getting ready for his box
ing exhibition at Dreamland rink on
Friday night He will box six rounds
with Marty Cutler and Kid Cotton, and
he is planning to make great show
ing He realizes that jeff managed to
get away with the crowd last Friday
night and, if there is any chance, the
big black champion win go his rival
one better, or possibly several better.
He wants TO take the San Francisco
fans by storm.
Johnson will resume his boxing this
afternoon at 2:30. He will do his usual
work with Cutler, Cotton and Walter
Monahan.
FIGHT PERMIT PASSES
The permit for the 45 round contest
between Jeffries and Johnson slipped
through the meeting of the Supervisors
YESTERDAY. not making a ripple. Two
minutes sufficed for Hergets motion
that the permit he granted, Chairman
Kelly putting the question, and the
rollcan which produced just two noes"
those of Cutten and Murdoch.
A number of church people and others
who had attended to protest were taken
uuawa res but the written remon-
strances of the Sunset congregational
church; John Steele, pastor OF ST.
Johns church; the San Francisco
women's club; II. S. Wilkinson. pastor
of the Howard street Methodist church;
John Campbell. Charles r. Kinney and
others were referred earlier to the po-
lice committee.

Edwin T. Fryer closed fast and beat him
easily. Third money was taken by

lied without further ceremony or fur
ther stalling. Rickard had to define his
position.
It is a peculiar story and one that
VIII make the fans sit up and wonder
TO themselves. Up 20 the time that
Rickard went TO the front for himself
there was A scheme on foot TO boost
Eddie Smith OF Oakland into the ex-
allied position. Johnson. the man who
had opposed Smith at all the referee
conferences. withdrew his objections
and consented to allow Smith TO ofici-
ate. Tis consent Johnson gave with
Thea understanding that Rickard would
step down and out. But Rickard
blocked the program by taking the bit
between his teeth. He refused to
bulge an inch.
INFO" BROKEN To JEFFRIES
The news Of the contemplated deal
was broken to Rickard Monday night.
when he was ia Rowardenaan with
Jeffries. He was puzzled and perpleXed
and he scarcely knew what TO do. Fin
ally he made up his mind to put the
matter right UP TO Jeffries and waive
further ceremony. Bright and early
yesterday morning the promoter cor
nered the big fighter and unbosomed
himself
You have been selected TO referee
this fight and now you viii have to go

Jeffries Positively L VIII not stand

Last night Rickard and Johnson con-
ferred al the champions training quar-
ters at the ocean beach. Rickard asked
Johnson If there was any truth in the
report that he had consented to stand
for Smith. johnson admitted that this
was the truth, but he quickly added, In
case YOU consented TO step out, Mr..

An oreange ice augmented the sandwiches and tea. and followed the yellow scheme. In the sining room Mrs. kilpy was as sisted in entertaining by several or her especial friends among the girls-the only unmarried friends whom she invited.
