Bill Hart, who has been In the South

Hart is ending his career in the

I But Il is on the batting question
hat Keller and Father Time are hav.

usually the winner in these contests.
Keller was for years one OF the
igrandest ball players who ever donned
the spangles, and his particular
forte was batting. He could place q
ball better than any other batsman
and for years was numbered among
the 300 hitters OF the game.
About three years ago his batting
began to fall of. Keller wasn't the
same old invincible little fellow who
had them all guessing. Last season
he was away on with the stick, and
dropped from the New York Ameri
cans. This year McGraw has signed
him.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 4--one
month from today Jack Johnson and
jim Jeffries meet TO decide the world
heavyweight championship. and II the
fight is on the square there Will prob
ably result clash between two almost
physically perfect men.
Johnson showing at the Dreamiand
rink last night astonished even his
most ardent admirers. Eastern sport
ing writer's. who came here as the loyal
friends Of Jeffries, were forced To ad'
nit that the giant black was perfect.
Johnson did eight rounds Of fighting
with Joe Cotton and Kid Cutler, two
of his training partners. He played
his way and took care not 10 injure his
opponents. He fought them as he
expects TO fight Jeffries; fiatfooted and
fast. He made the others come TO him
and boxed them of with consummate
skill. He swung his opponents around
easily In the clinches.
Neither Cotton nor Cutler held their
punches back, but they couldn't seem
TO hurt Johnson. In the fourth round
OF his fight with Cotton. Johnson
leaned back against the ropes. held
his hands high over his head and let
Cotton send blow after blow seemingly
with all the strength at his command
into his stomach. The champion did
not even grunt as the rain OF blows
landed on his unprotected wind,
Fight fans declared II was the most
wonderful exhibition OF physical
prowess they had ever witnessed.
Johnson's favorite blows seemed 70
he his famous uppercut, which seemed
literally TO jump forward, and a snappy
right straigh out. Both proved effec-
tive blows. capable OF terrible execu'
ton II delivered full force.
To those who saw the Negro

his muscles seemed pliable and well
rounded. He did not appear to have
been exerted by his exercise.
