JOHNSON NOW ADMITS
HIS FALL WAS FAXED

Jack johnson, the colored champion,
has come out with the announcement that
he faxed the fall in his battle with Stan
ley Ketcheli. Many believed that The
Assassin" had stung the negro. who
arose and then rocked the white man
TO sleep. This is what Jack says of that
fight:
In my career a fighter the fellows
who had the reputation of being hard
ALTERS never hurt me a bit
In my fight with Ketcalell | was able
to tell every time when he was going to
start swing. Whenever he lowered his
left arm l knew something was coming
and | set myself for IT. l had ketchell
figured right, and when lie dropped that
eft arm Tented in and then he started
to swing, and the only thing | had 70 do
was to step back and jab him any place
i wanted 20.
ketchell never hit me hard enough TO
hurt me and my trick in falling in the
twelfth round il an old trick OF the game
and one which ! learned after | fought a
few battles. You know when a fighter
knocks another man down he generally
feels pretty cocky and drops his guard.
When ] was down and gradually getting
up on one knee j had my eye on ketchell
all the time and timed my opportunity
perfectly. When / saw he had dropped

ard went after him. and before ne had a
chance TO protect himself I had landed
the blow that brought nome the bacon.

PHILADELPHIA. January 1a.-Cn-
doubtediy no two pugilists ever entered "a
ring with more determination to win de-

slang, the two big boxers like each other

they are both ont TO win if il is in the

The element Of chance figures in the
bout. O'Brien may dance around, jabb;ng
the big Californian and keeping ont o:
harms way for six rounds And he should
win the bout on points
Jack thinks that he can duplicate his
feat of 1865. when he closed both the
eyes of Kaufman and hammered him SO
numerically that he had him practically
out when AIS manager Billy Delaney,
threw up the sponge. lie might land a
chance WALTON which would send the
"blacksmirh'' TO the mat for the count
But doubt it,
There is no question that O Brien is not
the fighter that he was in 1905. He may
not have forgotten any OF his old tricks
but he dare not even intimate that lie can
hit as hard now as he could then. And
that huge Frisco lad should he able to as
simulate all the punches OBrien could de-
liver for six rounds and even more.

that he is faster than he was when he
met O'Brien before. and that Jack will
not be able TO skip around and hit him at

claims he is even cieverer now and will
be able to wade III and finish Jack before
the fourth round is over. Should O'Brfen
win by the knockout route, Kaufman
Will be dead one He would have
failed to do what Stanley Ketcheli did,
and since he weighs at least twenty more
pounds than the assassin he would he

of meeting any OF the really good men
goes.
Kaufman. by winning decsively to-
night. however. will he in line for a
match with the winner of the Johnson
Jeffries battle. Even If O'Brien Outpoints
him Al will be no worse off than was the
colored champion who did not stop Jack
when he met him here last spring. o Brien
by knocking out Kaufman could at least
demand an opportunity to wrest the title
from the winner of the fight next July.
II will be seen how much the bout
really means TO the participants. And
since there is grudge which both are
anxious to settle. it makes it appear that
some real action is going 10 be let loose.

BIG MONEY FOR JOCKEY.
Sam Hildreth Pays $4,000 Retain
er for C. H. Shilling.

NEW YORK. January 1?-S. &. Hildreth
has signed Jockey G. II. Shilling to ride
his horses this season. The contract was
made contingent on the Jockey Club
awarding Shilling a license. Under the
terms of the agreement the jockey is TO
pilot all Hildreths racers from April 1
to November 20, for which work in the
saddle he will receive a $1,000 retainer
This action Of Hildre,h places him in
a position 10 cope with August Belmont
and James r. Keene for the big prizes
of the turf Belmont has engaged Eddie
Dugan and keene has Butwell under CON
tract. Up To the time that Shilling was
signed Hildreth did not have a first -class
jockey. He had second call on Dugan's
services. but as Belmont's horses would
frequently be pitted against Hildreth's
the latter racers would be without COM
petent rider.
Although Hildreth entertains high
opinion of Dugan as a. Jockey and was
quick to obtain the latters consent to
pilot his horses when not engaged by
the Belmont string. still Hildreth realized
that his horses would be seriously handi-
capped in their races if they were ridden
by third-rate jockeys, the usual class of
riders who are without regular employ
ers: So, as soon as the holidays We're
over he opened up negotiations with
Shilling and has just clinched his hold on
him for the year
Shilling, it will BE- recalled. Jumped into
unpleasant notoriety last fall by stabbing
his employer, r. l.. Thomas, the Ken
lucky turfman. Thomas was so serious
ly injured that hts life for time was
despaired Of But he rallied and is now
out and about. seemingly no worse for
his fray with Shilling. The latter was
released on bonds and the case NAV
come UP for trial some time this spring.
1t was because OF this trouble that
Hildreth put in the clause contingent on
obtaining license in the contract. That
Shilling will be refused permission to ride
by the stewards very few horsemen be-
neve They base their opinions that the
boy Is still in good standing on the failure
OF the Jockey Club last fall to rule
against him when he asked permission to
ride fItZherbert at the Pimlico track. No
objection was then raised to his resurnr,-
ton of saddle work
r. j. Mackenzie, the wealthy street
railroad man of Canada, has engaged
JOCKEY Joplin for two years. The salary
II Is reported he will pay the young rider
Is $1,000 year. Before the contract
could be signed Mackenzie had to pur-
chase the apprentice papers held on Ton
lin by H. g. Bedwell The wealthy
Canadian gave 5000 for Toplin's reIease
Joplin was considered the jockey find of
last season. He was then plotting Bed
wells horses. They had a quarrel and
the parents of Joplin said rather than
Bedwell should have the services of their
boy they would refuse their permission
for him TO ride.

TEX RICHARD SHOWS
A VERY STRONG HAND
Has Wire Denying Jeffries
Is Opposed to Salt Lake.
Fight Will Be Held There.

SALT LAKE. Utah. January i9.-Prac-
tically all doubt about the fight between
Jeffries and Johnson for the heavyweight
championship Of the world being held
here was removed last night by the re-
ceipt by TEX" Richard of a telegram
from Jeffries through Sam Berger deny
ing that Jeffries had made the statement
that he would not fight In Utah.
The telegram reads:
'McCook. Neb., January Is 1910.
" Tex Richard. knutsford Hotel, Salt
Lake City, Utah:
would not fight in Utah.
SAN BERGER"
Almost simultaneously Richard received
word from Johnson that if Richard says
the fight is going to be held here it Will
SO take place. Richard says what John
son says goes. Personally Johnson has no
preference. he says
To show that he has absolute authority
in the naming of the place for the contest
Richard late Monday night sent tele-
grams to Eddie Graney of San Francisco
and Big Tim Sullivan of New York, both
CT whom were present when Richard was
awarded the fight, asking for details OF
the conversation between Richard and
Gleason after the bidding in of the con-
test.
No answer has been received from Sui
Ivan, but Graney replied: ''On December
2. in a hotel at Hoboken. Tom McCarey
shook hands with Tex Richard and wish
ed him luck. and McCarey asked Richard
where he intended to hold the contest, as
he tMcCarey) wanted to bring a special
train to the contest. Richard replied that
he intended to have it in Salt Lake.
Those present in the crowd. and they
should have heard it, We're Jack Gleason
and Bob Murray. George Little. Col
kowal sky. Maurice &uintan, myself and
several newspaper men. Gleason said
anything Richard said went with him..
This seems to give Richard all the best
of it in the argument between the two
fight impresarios as to the location Of the
battle.
These wires were SENT said Rickard
last night merely to convince the skep-
teal that there is nothing in the San
Francisco talk, and that the fight assur-
eddy will be held here. Johnson and JEFF
each have forfelts OF $4,000 posted
which they will lose if they do not sc
where 1 say. The articles give me the
choice of Nevada. California and Utah.
and l have selected Utah. That is all
there is to it.
The contract was signed yesterday be-
tween Tex Rickard and J. Z. I-angford,
general manager of the Saltair Beach
Company, by the terms of which the
fight will be held in the Coliseum at the
Saltair Beach. Richard gets the Coliseum
free of charge.

RACING MAY BEGIN APRIL Is.
Jockey Club Said to Regard Pimlicc
as Unimportant Factor.

NEW YORK, January 9.-Turfmen at
the Waldorf-Astoria and the HOFFMAN
House yesterday received tip apparent
ly based upon excellent authority, to the
effect that the local racing season will
open at -Aqueduct April IL regardless OF
the attitude and the wishes OF the PIN
leo management The persons who had
this information said that the Jockey
Club stewards were busy with the metro
politan racing schedule just now and that
as Pimico did not concern New Workers
it would not cut figure OF any KIND In
the management Of dates.
THE idea that Pimlico, a second-class
track down in Maryland, is of SO much
Importance that two metropolitan tracks.
Auueduct and Jamaica. will not CONDUCT
spring meetings II there Is a conflict OF
dates is absurd said well posted rae
ing man Yesterday "Pimico isn't New
York. and YOU can rest assured that the
Jockey Club stewards do not care when
the Maryland track opens. There Will be
plenty of horses to run at An1leCuct and
Jamaica beginning April ID. and the met
ropoIitan public, hungry for the sport,
will make these meetings pay with Its
patronage. The fact that the New York
tracks can offer more than $50 racing days
to owners and trainers is worth remem-
bering, when PimlicO does not AFFORD
more than thirty days or so. The horse
men are with the Jockey Club and to
man they are anxious to begin racing
here April IL. The AQueduct and Jamaica
tracks do not fear Pimlico. They have
been misrepresented and are ready to
operate on the old lines or in accordance
with the pans mapped out by the Jockey
Club stewards. It's a good bet that
Pimlico will be ignored when the New
York dates are allotted. That is to say,
Pimhco will receive a sanction, out can
paddle its own canoe.
Pimico's application for dates for a
meeting from April % to May will not
be acted upon until the next meeting of
the Jockey Club stewards. 1t may be
laid over even then. it is said, SO that
the New York schedule can be agreed
upon first.
