Hello, Chink!" called out Arthur one
evening as he. stood in his accustomed
place beside the Chinaman's shop door
Here's a bit of grub for your supper"
And he threw into the shop dead mouse
which he had found on the street. John
Chinaman glanced at the lifeless little
creature. but did not advance to pick 1t
up. He decided to let 1t lay where Arthur
had thrown it till his tormentors had gone
away Then he would toss 1t into the
alley behind his shop. But Arthur was not
and called out In commanding tones: Pick
it up, Chink! If you don't Wen come in
and cut off your pigtail''
what Arthur said, for he s'' had lived in
America from babyhood. having come
the town where he now lived.
Come. pick up your supper. Chink!'
cried another Of the boys In imitation Of
Arthur. eff you don't you'll get free
haircut!''
John Chinaman looked uneasiIy toward
his tormentors and tried to smile. He
shook his head. saying in his best Eng
lish that he did not want to eat the
mouse, etc. To this Arthur and his COM
rades roared with laughter, and Arthur
made dash for the door. AS he did so
his companions close behind him-John
ran to the door and turned the key. Thus
the boys found themselves locked out
when they tried to force their way in.
Then Arthur kicked loudly on the door,
demanding entrance. But paying no heed
to him, John Chinaman kept on with his
work.
Say, boys" whispered Arthur. "I'll tell
you what we'll do. Well go behind his
shop and make believe to take the clothes
from the line. You know he dries his
wash behind the shop"
Eyes. that's it," agreed a close second
to Arthur. 'Then he'll come tearing out
to protect his patrons property and wen
dash In at the back door and unlock the
front door. Won't he get fooled?''
So the wicked fellows went around be-
hind the Chinaman's shop to the back
door. They found the yard strung with
clotheslines full of recently Numbered
family clothing. Arthur recognized some
of the garments as belonging to his own
mother, therefore refrained from doing
any damage to the clothes But he went
to the laundryman's back door and called
through 1t: Say. Chink, wen carry or
your clothes II you don't open up the
door,
Immediately the Chinaman opened the
back door and stepped into the yard.

white flyer" shoot at Siege yesterday
The new members who distinguished
themselves were Captain Du Bray and
H. Havens. Havens has on several oc-
casions shot as a guest of the club at
the old Ingleside grounds, and Captain
Du Bray, who is an eastern sportsman
and frequent visitor to the coast, is
regarded by local scatter gun experts
as one of the festest performers that
ever faced the traps.
Havens scored straight in the two
regular club races at II birds each and
also grassed two birds that were
trapped for him in practice shoot,
while Du Bray made a straight score in
the first race and accounted for II in
the second event, besides grassing
every one he shot in practice affairs.
W. E. Murdoch, an old time member
of the club and the keeper of the
grounds, would have scored straight in
both races and shared high gun honors
with Havens, but for the fact that his
gun was tampered with during an in
terval between rounds. Murdock was
shooting in splendid form, grassing %
of the allotted "a birds in the two club
events, but when he gave the signal to
pull in the fifth round of the first
race he found that the safety on his
gun had been snapped and he was
obliged to stand and watch his bird fly
to safety over the left quarter fence.

ger of his intention and both will be on
the job to witness this ceremony. Rick
ard posted $4,000 of the purse when
December and, according to the pro-
visions of the articles. $4,000 more
must be posted during the first week OF
May. Tex promised TO make good and
it looks as though he will.
REMAINING FORFEIT EASY
The remaining $4,000 does not have
to be deposited till 4S hours before the
battle. Nobody need worry about that
for it's a two TO one bet that three
times the amount will have been taken
in tickets by then. 1t is understood
that the advance sale has already
passed the $22,oO0 mark.
Neither Gleason nor Rickard appear
TO be bit worried over the agitation
against the big fight, brought about by
the tragic death of poor little Tommy
Mccarthy. Both regret the incident
and look upon it as an unfortunate ac-
cident, such as is liable to happen on
the baseball diamond, football field or
racetrack at any time
There is no law against boxing con-
tests in California. when such contests
are conducted to the satisfaction of the

a flaw. so far as the provisions of the
law are concerned. I have no fears
from the agitatOrs. The fight will take
place. unless one of the principals dies
or is injured
MISTAH JOHNSON ON PARADE
! Johnson posed and strutted around
in the presence of thousands of pleas
ure seekers at the ocean beach yester-
day afternoon, but he did no work. He
spent the day principally in lounging
around and inspecting his training
quarters. He took his usual automobile
ride and entertained many friends who
came to look him over and talk fight
with him.
The big black man will not begin
his real work until Wednesday morn
ing. He says that he does not want
TO take the chances of growing stale,
for it is his opinion that two months
Of hard work will do him more harm
than good. Johnson Will do his first
boxing Saturday afternoon, but it will
not be very lively. He intends to go
slow at the outset.

sporting man and formerly manager
of the Jeffries club of Los Angeles
has taken hold Of Dan Sullivan, the
promising Montana middle weight
Long and Sullivan are now in Sacra-
mento, where Sullivan is training to box
