JOHNSON BEGINS
WORK BY POSING
Strips to Fighting TogS Only to
Let Camera Men Photo
graph Him
DOES TWELVE MILES ON ROAD
Announces That He Will Begin
Boxing Three Days Each
Week Next Sunday
DOES TWELVE MILES ON ROAD

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.--Jack
johnson did his first training for his
coming fight with Jim Jeffries today,
and that fact, although there was nc
gymnasium work or boxing scheduled,
attracted a large crowd of spectators
to the beach. The heavyweight was
out on the road bright and early with
George Cotton, Barney Furey and
Marty Cutler of his camp, and the
pace he set for the twelve-mile trip
was so stiff that Cutler dropped out
long before they had gone half the
distance.
johnson admitted when he returned
that he guessed it was too long a trip
for the first morning, but he showed
that his wind is in good condition, as
he was not even breathing hard upon
his return. In spite of this journey he
Immediately gave orders that he would
be on the road late in the afternoon
and that he would keep up this pro-
gram for the balance of the week.
After the luncheon hour, Johnson, in
accordance with his promise, stripped
down to fighting togs in order to give
the newspaper photographers a chance
at him. There was a battery of eight
camera men hard at work and Jack
talked good -naturedly to them as they
made pictures of him in every con-
ceivable pose. He stood just where
they told him to stand and posed as dl-
rected for more than half an hour, but
when one enterprising photographer
poked the nose of his camera
right into the negros face, Johnson
broke into a smile and remarked that
they were enough ~ rattle any man.
After they were satisfied, Johnson re-
turned to his room and after enter
tanning a few friends announced ne
would take an automobile ride pelore
the afternoon walk.
Although johnson had not weigheo
since he reached San Francisco, he
stated as his opinion today that ne
would tip the scales at 226 pounds. Men
who watched him, however. While PIC
trres were being taken, were OF tne
oninion that the colored man would
strip considerably under his own esti-
mate. -, ...o,,o,
The boxing program will commence
next Sunday afternoon and thereafter
for at least two weeks ne VIII poA
three days a week-Sunday, Wednes-
dav and Friday. He will later increase
the boxing to four days week, pul %
saws that right up to the day OF tne
fight he will switch from sparrlhg at
least three days out of the seven.
'Personally 1 would be glad not 70
commence boxing for a couple OF
weeks" " said Johnson, for [ ought 10

lie demands it and I will show the peo-
ple Just what is my cohdltioh'

N ASEBALL cranks will get a run
X for their money today if they
~ will take the trouble to go out
to the Chutes diamond and witness a
classy exhibition of baseball that the
press boys will put up when they play
the fighters. No admission fee will be
charged, and everybody is welcome to
go out and see a few champions of the
ring get a cleaning out by the cham
pions of the sporting press. The game
is scheduled to start at 2:30 O'Clock, and
will go the full eight and a half in
nings, the press boys not deemlng 1t
necessary to play out their half of the
NINTH, as on class alone they shoulo
win. despite their lack of training. The
press boys never have been defeated
since the team was organized eight
years ago, and they expect to break
their record today. Hen Berry, Tom
McCarey and Jack Doyle will do the
umpiring. it being deemed necessary
to have three jumps owing to the dan
ger that surrounds the indicator men
and the probability that at least two
of them will be shipped to the morgue
on a shutter before the game is ended.
The game will be played for the an
nual championship of Southern Cali
fornia, and should prove as interesting
as one of Clarence Kolb's jokes, and
the reader may put whatever construc-
to him. Following are lineups:
Press Boys - Chester Lawrence,
Beanie Walker, w. H. Leonard, Ham
Oliver, Owen Bird, Harry Williams,
George Reeves, George Hancock, Ed
win O'Malley and somebody else whose
modesty refuses mention Of his name
Pluguglies-Frankle Conley, Danny
Webster, Lew Powell, Montana Kid,
Jimmy Austin, Paul Roman, Al Rogers,
Morrie Bloom, Tom Leahy, Kid Solo
White and Berry, Hatton.
This will be another open date in the
local Coast league schedule, the series
between the Angels and Portland
starting tomorrow afternoon and clos
ing next Monday afternoon. The re-
alignment for the week sends the VII
lage Cutups to Sacramento and the
Seals and Oakland will entertain at
home Just what the week will bring
forth in the way of changes in club
standings is difficult to forecast, ow-
ing to the erratic form shown last
week by the Angels Vernon is making
a stiff bid for first place and should
have a comparatively easy time of 1t
with the Senators. San Francisco is
playing it's supplement and probably
will win the odd game, but not much
more. Los Angeles should take the
series from Portland and advance at
least one rung up the ladder. The
prospect is good for Vernon to come
home next week in first place, but
Oakland will have to help out by
beating the Seals a part of the time

MAKING GREAT PLANS
FOR VENICE TOURNEY
Annual Tennis Championships Ex-
pected to Attract Players
Even from East

Plans for the annual Venice tennis
tournament, to be held the third week
In June on the courts of the Venice
Country club, are rapidly materializ-
ing, and there is every hope among
those interested in the management of
the event that it will prove the most
popular in the history of the sport in
the south.
The Venice courts are in fine condi-
ton for the tournament. With four
courts at their disposal the club is able
to accommodate much larger entry
list than any of the other local tennis
strongholds, and if present plans ma
ture the entry list will tax the four
courts to the limit.
All of the stars of other tennis
events are to be in attendance, and it
is probable that there will be quite
an invasion from the eastern fields.
Players from all over the west, at
tracted by the splendid list of prizes
in this tourney AMI the two following
at the Virginia, will make Los An
geles their camping ground for the
summer.
Followers of the game are looking
for the new champion. Experts eX-
pect a general upheaVal and surprise
among the top-liners in the game and
the general feeling is that Balley's
comet may have little effect on the
tennis results at least. 1t is hard to
pick the 1910 champion. OF course,
there is Bundy and Mclaughlin and
Long and so on, but if the predicted
upheaval arrives it will not be Of this
list. Some of the last year junior men
possibly may arise and become for
midable, some dark horse may appear
in the miscellaneous entrants, but
Dame Rumor-and she has visited the
local camps many times lately-pre-
diets a new champion. Wait and see.

AMES AND BYRD KNOCKED OUT
Neither San Francisco Curve Art

Hitting SeraphS
AMES AND BYRD KNOCKED OUT

Form reversals were the order of the
game yesterday afternoon in the Wihu-
up engagement between Los Angeles
and san Francisco candidates tor lue
Coast league pennant. Los Angeles
walloped the Seals to a done brown
knocked Ames out of the box in two
innings and gave Byrd such an aWtul
trouncing in the other eight innings
that the contest really was uninterest-
ing except in that it resulted in an
Angelic victory by the score of lO TO A.
Tozer who has been out of comlnlS-
sion for a long time, went on the
mound for the Angels, and while al
lowing the enemy to score four runs
off seven hits always had them lag-
ging along behind in the count and
that without much eXertion on MS
part Ames was asked to further hu-
initiate the Angels for the Seals, but
he lasted only two innings and then
Byrd, who had been given ten-second
tryout in the Sunday morning game,
took his place. Byrd did so we'll that
the Angels only turned five hits into
as many runs, just as they had done
with Ames.
Los Angeles, evidently frightened
by the way the Seals came from be-
hind and turned almost certain defeat
noon. scored four runs in the opening
round, added another in the second.
still another in the third and then let
up until the sixth, when they put over
three more. In their final turn at the
bat in the eighth inning they put up
another one just for good measure.
Frisco did not get started at scoring
until the third, when they put over
one. Two more were added in the
sixth and another in the ninth.
Poor pitching by the Frisco curve
artists and half dozen raw errors by
fielders behind them accounts in a
large measure for the victory of the
Blossoms, but Tozers steady flinging
probably is responsible for most of the
good work of his team. The Angel
swatters also had their batting clothes
on and when they got on bases they
were hard to head. 1t was anything
but classy exhibition, but it produced
the desired result and that is suffi-
cient.
Following is the tabulated score of
the game:

RialtO Gossip

this week. The unexpected usually
happens in the Coast league, so it
need not be surprising If the Angels
brace up and make a hurrah sweep
of the series with the Beavers and that
Oakland trims the Seals to a done
brown.
With Waldo out of the Kentucky
derby today, Los Angeles followers
will take greater interest in the run
ming of this classic, as Donau, the
crack horse that Jim Blute brought to
Santa Anita in the fall of 1908 as a
yearling will be made the favorite.
Donau trimmed nearly everything in
his division at Santa Anita last year
and set two world records. He is
high class three-year- and if he
wins today there will be much rejoic-
ing locally.
Postponement of the Memsic-Powell
scrap for a week carries the entire
card with it, as there will be no
changes in the preliminaries unless
some of the principals run out OF their
engagements. All the boys will con-
tinue training without interruption, ex-
cept Memsic and Powell.
Jack Doyle has returned from fish
ing trip of a week at Wheeler Springs
and says he got the limit of trout
every day while away. He says that
fishing is a grand sport up there, as
there are so many trout in the streams
that it is no trouble whatever to get
the limit Mrs. Doyle and Allen, the
precocious son, accompanied him and
shared the luck of Jack at fishing.
Jack will try his luck again this after
noon as one of the brave souls who
will brave the wrath of the combined
forces of pugilism and journalism while
irving to referee part of the PresS-Pug
baseball game at the Chutes. His
popularity may save him few scars.
Franz Hosp, one of the best pitch
ers who ever worked in the Coast
league and who was released to Los
Angeles by Cincinnati about ten days
ago because his pitching arm had gone
kafluey for tin4e is warming up with
the Angels every day and Hen Berry
thinks he will get back into pitching
form again SON. He is crack in
fielder, too, and heavy sticker, so
it is dollars to cents that he Will not
be idle long.
Southpaw Criger is one of the first
of the Angel band to hit the ambu-
lance for the hospital. Some time dur
ing Saturday night spider, mosquito,
snake, bulldog or something else with
teeth, inserted a brace of incisors into
his right wrist and he is laid UP with
badly swollen flinging stick that
may keep him out Of the game all this
week.

EXPLOSION LOSS 100000;
EIGHT DEAD; so INJURED
Heads Blown from All Statues in
Church of Holy Redeemer

OTTAWA, Ont, May 9.-Eight per-
sons are known to have been killed and
fifty seriously injured by the explosion
of the magazine at the plant of the
General Explosive company, four miles
from here, on Sunday night. Property
damage is estimated at 100000.
A popularity of the results of the
explosion was found in the church of
the Holy Redeemer, half a mile from
the plant In the church were an un-
usual number of statues, and the heads
were shaken from every one of them,
while the bodies were left standing.
Practically every window in Hull was
broken and in every part of ottawa
glass was smashed, which tends to
show that the estimate of ten tons
placed by the compary's officials as
as amount of the explosive in storage
is too small.
