STILL LOOKING FOR
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP
Bill Lang of Australia Looms
Up as Possible Opponent for
Jack Johnson.

Boxing fans and managers Of boxers
are busy In all parts of the country try
ing to land on some young fellow whom
they can bring forward as the man to
wrest the championship from the col
ored champion, Jack Johnson, but the
hunt has amounted TO little as yet. Half
dozen champions, or so.called cham
pions, have been heard from, but none
of them amounts to much. When it
comes down to the test il will be found
that some of the young aspirants now
before the public will be the man to
lower the colors of Mr.. johnson.
Miles Mcleod, whom James j. Cor
bett has been boosting for a Job, may
be big, strong young fellow. but when
1T comes to the boxing game he is lack
ing. The announcement that Captain
McLaglen, the Irish giant and liu- iitsu
champion, would be the man is Joke,
for McLaglen would stand no more
chance against Johnson than Abe At
tell. The same can be said for most
of the young men being boosted
Frank Gotch was pushed forward as
the man, but Frank Gotch is too wise
to let himself be deluded into such be-
lief. The same with George Hacken-
sShluiuJ, Iue lOIuiC champion WleSLlCI
Hac kenschmidt is strong, but from a
boxing standpoint he would be a
mark for a good heavyweight Con
o Kelly, the Irish wrestler, is being
groomed by Tommy Ryan, and there
may be some chance there, as O kelly
is young and strong and takes TO the
boxing game.
Al Kaufman and Bill Lang, the Aus
trallan heavyweight, are more likely
men for the job. Lang is only 90 years
Of age and as strong as bull. He was
defeated by johnson two years ago,
when IA novice, but he is gaining in
Science and experience and may surprise
Jack should they meet again. If Lang
can beat Kaufman, then look out for
the Australian. Two years from now he
may he the man to take the title from
johnson. Lang will be improving with
every contest. while Johnson will be
going back, the same as Fitzsimmons,
Corbett, John l.. Sullivan and James
j. Jeffries did.
No matter how clever johnson may
be-if he has not got the strength and
staying powers-he will go dcwn the
same as the rest, Jim Barry, had he
taken care of himself, would have been
a grand opponent for Johnson, but he
seems to have passed out of the cham
pionship chase. OF all the white men
in the heavyweight ranks now who ap.
pear to have chance for the futur1
against Johnson, Kaufman and Lang
are the best.

Taft Told Sherman.
The presidents letter, In many OF the
details and dates given, throws an In

in Beverly. Probably the most interest
ing OF these was the interview given out
by, Vice President sherman following his
talk with President Taft last Wednesday,
On that occasion. It now transpircs. the
president told Mr., Sherman he deplored
Ing down Mr.. Roosevelt, and that he
wanted him TO see Mr.. Roosevelt and
try 10 arrange an agreement.
Mr.. sherman, when he emerged from
the summer White House, stated in the
most positive manner that he had no
intention OF withdrawing as the tenn
porary chairman and that he did not
think u movement 10 overturn the action

OF KILLING APACHE

Not a Knife.
Special Cable TO The Tribune.

Special Cable TO The Tribune.
PARIS. Aug. pa curious case has
just been tried in Paris assize court of
negro pugilist accused of manslauehter.
The negro was acquitted. and the jury
quite properly assumed that he could not
be guilty. The charge was that the man
had been stabbed with a knife In the

ma atnrai Tor pugilist to resort TO a
knife in self-defense. He would make
use OF his fist. and because the man was
not killed by a blow from the fist OF the
negro he could not be guilty. The Incl
dent occurred one night in the streets
OF Montmarte: The negro. who was well
known as a boxer, was seen In a bar
room by some Apaches The latter be-
gan to twit him. and asked him TO show
what he could do with his bare fists and
without any gloves.
The negro took all this as good
natured joke, and paid no attention
After leaving the bar the young fellows
followed him into the street. where they

shrugged his shoulders. Finally one OF
the tantalZers made a direct attack on
him. which gave the negro an oppor-

blows, and his antagonist fell on the

Griscom Changes View.

GrlScOm CudnSeS VleW.
In commenting on President Tafts let
ter and the situation which 1t discloses'
Mr. Grlscom gave out the following state
ment.
The methods used to accomplish the
defeat of Mr. Roosevelt when his name
was before the state committee are now
clear and may be Judged by the public:
Those personally acquainted with Mr.
Tafts views were OF course never IN
doubt that his advice had been ignored
and that his attitude was misrepresented
that those who misrepresented him might
appear as the defenders OF his admin
istration.
II have not the slightest doubt that the
action of the state committee VIII be re-
versed and that Mr.. Roosevelt. If his en-
gagements will permit him TO accept, VIII
act as temporary chairman OF the con-
vcntion and make the preliminary speech.
AS chairman of the New York state com
mittee. | shall cooperate With Repuon-
cans throughout the state who believe
1t In the interest OF the party tnat thiS
result be brought about
Contradiction Of Reports.
"Mr Taft's reply to my telegram dis
closes that the reports ipdustriousiy cir
cuated OF supposed conflict between
the president and the cX-president on
New York state matters are baseless.
'The way is now clear for the Repub-
licap party in this state 10 take steps
which will warrant and secure success at
the polls in November. 1t Is evident that
not seeking Republican success at the
coming election. they wish to perpetunte
their control OF the Republican organiza-
tion at any cost 20 the party.
THE defeat which their plans invited
they very willingly would have unloaded
upon the shoulders of President Taft by
making 1t appear that he failed TO IN
dorse the policies of Governor Hughes
and Mr. Roosevelt In this state.
'The alliance of some of the old guard
leaders with Tammany hall in the last
two legislative sessions was a disgrace
and should be repudiated by the party.
Substantially all the Republican prl-
maries are still to be held throughout the
state. There can be no misunderstand-
ing Of the position taken by President
Taft, EXPresldent Roosevelt and Cover
nor Hughes for progressive leadership In
the party and clean government. OPP
posing are Messrs. Barnes. Woodruff AL

voters in the primaries will have an op-
