I have sold my share of the pictures
to Hester and O'Day and the men who
are with them" said oJhnson. 'eThey
have paid me deposit and they have
also put up a forfeit. This is good
enough for me. Rock did not make
good. so the deal with him is off. I am
through with the films now
TRY To OUTDO TRUST
Hester said last night that he and
O'Day and their associates had closed
the deal with Johnson, and that they
also expected to close with Jeffries and
Gleason and Rickard within the next
few days. Their price is $150,000, says
Hester. the same was offered the
fighters and the promoters by the trust,
which is represented here by William
T. Rock.

practically closed with me last Tuesday
evening. No, I did not pay him any
money nor did he sign the final papers,
but we agreed to all the terms and
Johnson gave me his word that he
would close with me within the next
fe wdays. 1 can not understand how he
switched to the other people"

Johnson got ready to box. He would

stack up against poor Kid Cotton the
slaughter was awful. 1t lasted four
rounds and Johnson numerically laced
the poor black boy all over the ring
1t seemed as though the hate of fate
alone prevented Cotton from being
either killed outright or at least dis
abled for life.
Johnson also did a lot of work with
the punching bag and the various
other machines on the stage, and incl
dentally he all but tore them to pieces
in his rage. Now he is awaiting word
from Rickard as to whether he shall
break camp, or else continue his train
ing without interruption.
TO SWEAR OUT WARRANT
4 will be down at the Office of the
chief of police in the morning to swear
out a warrant for Little's arrest" said
the champion over the phone last night
He passed worthless check for $500
on me. This was drawn on the Com
mercial national bank of Chicago and
it was returned no funds. Little will
have to face the music for this or 1 Will
know why
A little later Johnson received a bill
for $3.50 from Doctor Parnell of Oak
land, which he says Mrs. Little con-
tracted and refused TO pay. II is john
sons claim that Little passed this bill
up to him. The champion says that he
will make good, but that he will bring
suit against Little just as 500 4 as he
has settled the account. No wonder his
golden smile has escaped.

had heard from Rickard. He played
three games of handball with Corbett
and defeated him after a close contest.
The big fellow appeared to be in good
shape and there is but little chance
of his going stale from his present ap-
pearance as he perspired freely and
looked to have something left to
train on.
After the handbalI games he punched
the bag for IA minutes, jumped the
rope for IA minutes, and then used
the pulleys for u minutes. He was
given a thorough rub down. Roger
Cornell. Jack Jeffries, Farmer Burns
and Bob Armstrong worked on him for
40 minutes.
JEFF was accompanied on his fishing
trip by j. Bells, close friend. and
his brother Jack. The party returned
to the camp late this afternoon.
When he returned home the big fell
low said he would continue to train
as if nothing had happened.
He declared that the two afternoons
which he had had off were coming
TO him, as the rest would do him more
good than having his nose down to
the hard grind of training. There
may be some boxing tomorrow, but
nobody but JEFF can tell.

So spoke Promoter Louis Blot last
night He was in consultation with his
attorneys all day long and like the
legal representative OF Gleason and
Rickard, they informed him that he is
not violating any state or municipal
law or ordinance. This was good
enough for Blot and he Immediately
announced that he would attempt to
pull his fight off
In the event that any arrests are
made Blot says that he will have his
attorneys and his bondsmen in waiting
and that he viii seek redress through
the courts without loss of time Blot
Is confident that he viii get away with
his fight without being molested by the
attorney general but if the worst
comes to the worst, he will be fully
prepared.
Attorney General Webb announced
yesterday afternoon that he Will ap-
ply for a temporary injunction this
morning in the kaufman and Langford
case If this is issued the chances are
that the hght viii not take place at

reason that this writ cannot very well

course, this viii mean that the fight
viii be stopped then and there and the

il is barely possible that Blot may
get away with his fight without inter
ference, and in this event Gleason and
Rickard viii still have a chance to stage
the great battle in san Francisco on the
appointed date. Blot seems confident
enough, and SO do his attorneys. but the
nght fans shake their heads obviously.
They see nothing but failure ID sight

not interfered in the least with the
