JOHNSON SPENDS
FIFTEEN MINUTES
WITH UNDERTAKEN.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-Jack
johnson concluded his stay at The
Ocean Beach today with a fifteen min
Jackson, of Chicago.
Nc one at the training camp aprre-
ciated the sombre humor Of the situa-
ton more than did Johnson. jackson
is a friend of Johnson's and is not
here for business. He will be at the
ringside in Reno, however.
When the consultation with the
mortuary expert from the East hal
ended, Johnson busted himself amons
his %trappings, seeing that all of the
necessary equipment, including the col
lapsible chicken coops, was ready fer
the baggage car.
A big crowd gathered to see The
champion go through his last work be-
fore leaving, but was disappointed.
J%chnson's boxing gloves a beon
packed. and all his punching bags were
well on their way to Nevada. = Ten
miles on the road with AL Kaufman -
the morning constituted the days WORK.
The champion did not appear In tee
police court to answer to the charge Of
last uulOilloDlie Hflf1lR, on winch he
was arrested yesterday. He allowed
the case to so by default, and another
$50 was added to the fund which Ire
has contributed to police courts from
New York to San Francisco.
One Of the most important details Of
the champions last day was his final
agreement with George Little, All rld
scores were settled and assurance was
given that Little would cast no more
shadows across .I%ohnson's path. Little
accepted s16,50o for his past services rs

MUNICIPAL CLUBS OFFICER DECLARES
THAT WILSON'S MANAGER IS ARBITRARY

N. Woodruff mustn't think that be
cause Wilson got over a lucky punch
on Billy Leary that he is a champion.
After all that We have done | am con-
WINGED hat Woodruff doesn't want WI
son to fight. A good manager would
have his fighters working all the time.
He would not be w%rangling about
weight n trying to get a lot of free
advertising. 1t seems as If Woodruff
will not let Wilson be dragged into the
ring"
Tt will be a ease of two of the best
boys in Jersey against two of the best
boys in New York when Young Guarini.
of Jersey City, and Danny Savage. of
Orange, will meet respectively Phil
Cross and Fighting Dick Nelson in the
two star bouts at the Municipal A.. & +,
in the Kruger Auditorium. next Mon
day night. 1t would not surprise fight
fans to see both Jersey boys win, al
though it is conceded that the Jersey
City lad Is III against the toughest
fight of his career when he meets Phil
Cross. Cross is one of the best at his
weight in the country, and New York
fight fans think that he will stop
Guarini before the end of the sixth
round.
Danny Savage tool another run over
the Orange Mountains today and is
getting into the finest shape. Danny's
Orange admirers are coming in large
numbers and all are willing to bet that
Fighting Dick Nelson will be beaten.
Tickets for this, the best card that
has yet been arranged at the Munich
pal. are going at a lively rate at Min
Ions. In addition to the two bouts
already mentioned there viii be a six
round semi-hnal. in which will be seen
Sailor Davis, of the United states navy.
and Young Loeber, of New York, and
two four-round preliminaries.

HERR is a wealth. OF good racing
promised the fans for Sunday
afternoon at the Nelodromc
track, for another corking good card
of events has been arranged. Cham
pion Kramer who is to ride an Austria
liam pursuit match race against All.
Goulette, of Australia, has set for him
self the task of winning two races on
that day, as he will also be a starter in
the one-mile national championship
race.
The East Orange flyer, although
never very keen about pursuit racing,
agreed to meet the winner of the race
between Lawrence and Goulette, who
had it out last Sunday. The little for
eigner is a good nan at this style of
riding. and he is confident of taking
the measure of the nine-times national
champion.
Another crackerjack event should be
the one-mile titular event, in which
all the stars will start. Kramer is con-
hdent of winning this race also, but
Fogler, who was handed a big surprise
on Wednesday night in the quarter
mile national event, is out for revenge
Joe did not even qualify, and now
he is anxious to prove To his
friends that he is capable of winning
from the East Orange marvel. Paddy
O'Sullivan Hehir is confident that he
can o|utsprint the East Orange flyer,
and this he will endeavor to prove
on Sunday; also Freddy Hill, West, Rup-
precht. Albert Crebs, Floyd Krebs,
Charley stein and Pete Drobach, to say
nothing of Walter Bardgett, who has
taken on a new lease of life. and Nor
man Anderson. The last two are in
great shape, and barring accidents they
should be in the money.
The money-chasers will also be given
q chance to show their speed in a
three-mile handicap and a two-mile in
vitation. Fogler and Kramer will start
from scratch in the handicap, providing
that the champion is not too tired
from the effects of the other two
races.
Two handicap events are down on
the care for the amateurs. A one-mile
