Big Fighting Negro Intends Wade Into His Trainers
Though in Real Ring Battle.

Johnson plans to do all his road
work in the morning before break
fast and the gymnasium stunts wifi
begin about 10 o'clock.
Boxing will be on tap in the after
noon and it is the intention of John
son to start right in with the ring
work as soon as he arrives. Twelve
rounds will be the least the cham
pion will be satisfied with and these
will not be of the parlor or burles-
que variety. Johnson counts on
wading into his sparring partners
just the same as though it was a
real battle and those who have this
task on hand have gloomy pros
pect before them. Three men will
constitute the sparring staff and
each of these will be forced to go
four rounds each afternoon.

OUTFIELDER OCHS

CLASSY Little Player Goes to North
ern Association-WiH Make
Good.

AS intimated last evening, Outfielder
Fred Ochs has been sold to Kankakee
in the Northern association as the re-
suit of a good offer for his services
having been received from there
Manager Tighe feels that he must
commence at once to cut down his
squad in order to reach the proper
limit by the first of next month, at
which time the team and salary limits
go into effect. There are more cuts
to be made before that time which
will mean that probably two of the
pitchers will be dropped from the
rolls, though what two they are is not
even limited at by the management.
Ochs is one of the classiest little
outfielders that ever tried out for a
job with the Islanders, but his work
has not been of sufficient standard to
cause him to be retained in preference
to any of the other men who are in
the outfield.' He will make a star in
the Northern association, however

Wrestler Who Comes to Moline
Thursday Former Football Star.
Wrestling fans of this vicinity will
get an opportunity to witness Cyclone
Tommy Thompson, the football
player-wrestler, in action Thursday
night CT this week as he will meet
three local heavyweights in Moline on
that date. Thompson is in a similar
position to that of Smith of Michigan,
whose participation in the football
games of Michigan caused such a
scandal. Thompson played fullback
last fall on the Monmouth college foot
ball team and was selected as the AL
Illinois fullback. 1t was not learned
until afterwards that he was a pro-
fessional wrestler and that three years
ago he toured the west and southwest
with Farmer" Burns, meeting all
corners and rarely finding a wrestler
who could stick Is minutes with him.
Thompson's college days ended with
the close of the football season and
then he sought to conquer in other
branches of sport. He began taking
on wrestlers as fast as they wanted to
tackle him and it was learned at once
that he was not the college amateur
he was believed to be.

DAMAGES FROM
GALESBURG CLUB
National Association Supports
Rock Island in April Can
cellations.
$50 is AMOUNT ASSESSED
This Is Supposed to Cover Outlay in
Advertising Made by Local Team
for Announced Games.

The following letter has been receiv-
ed from Secretary ]. H Farrell of the
national association:
I'm regard to the matter of the claim
of the Rock Island ball club against
the Galesburg, Ill, club. for the sum of
$500 for damages on account of failure
of the Galesburg club to fulfill exhibit
ton dates, it is the ruling of the board
that it finds excellent reasons for can
collation. by the Galesburg club, and
why it was almost impossible for it to
fulfill its contract. 1t is further held
that the Rock Island club should be re-
imbursed for expenses of advertising,
etc. The board finds very extenuating
circumstances existing, such as cold
weather and advance notice of desire
to cancel on account of the weather
conditions. 1t is therefore held that
the amount of damages be awarded at
$50"
Cancelled Three Games.
The Galesburg club was scheduled to
play three exhibition games with the
Islanders April 20. 81 and %, and its
default brought for a claim for dam
ages before the national board, which
settles all disputes in the baseball
world. Galesburg notified the local
club officials week or more in ad-
vance that it was going to cancel, but
the reply was to the effect that the
games had been advertised extensively
and that it was too late to permit
especially as the only rea-
son given was that a better money
making opportunity confronted the
Galesburg association in the way of
games at home. On the day of the
first game no team showed up, and it
was learned over the telephone that
none was coming. AS it turned out the
weather would have held down the
crowd considerably, but even at that
many people visited the park and were
greatly put out with the local manage
ment for the failure of the Galesburg
team TO appear.
Make Claim for Damages.
The claim for damages followed, and,
as has happened in very few cases. it
was allowed in part The damages ask
ed were 500 for each game Cancelled,
a total of $500. Galesburg put
up a plea of bad weather and poor fl
lancial conditions. The $50 is expect
ed to reimburse the local association
'or the advertising it did, and not for
he i'll feeling it caused a few of the
ANS to have towards the management |
n particular and baseball in general. |
rhe $50 has not yet been received |
rom the Galesburg club, but it will I'M
ioubtedly be forthcoming. as the rul-
ng of the national board is not a thing
o be trif1ed with.

good scheme.
