Gossip Of the Pugilists;
Sidelights On the Battlers

Milwaukee. Wis, Aug. 27--Until Sam
Langford and manager, Joe Woodman,
can show some good reason for having
cancelled the match with Al Kaufman
at Philadelphia last week, they viii not
have such easy sailing in their chase Of
Jack Johnson as would have been the
case had they gone through with their
contract as per schedule. The excuse
that Langford offered that he was not
IN condition, sounds too fishy altogether
and will not go down He knew what
kind of condition he was in when the
match was made and he knew then
whether he had the necessary time in
which to complete his training; If there
was not enough time >then he had no
right to make the match. It is a very
lame excuse and Samuel will have to
find some other loop hole.
There have been rumors Of the match
being arranged for the benefit OF
both and that something went wrong.
but Langford and his manager should
be given the benefit of the doubt, I'M
less il should be proven otherwise, for

him TO first whip Kaufman and others
before asking for a match for the cham

also serve as warning to the other
promoters TO make boxers put up suf-

No one was seriously injured. though
Mrs. Rankin was slightly bruised about

Woodman has always been a straight
forw ard man in his business dealing,
and he certainly would be showing the
rankest kind of judgment to try any
such game at this stage; just at the
time when he was about to force Jack
Johnson into match for the worlds
title.
Langford forfeits $3.50 for not ap-
pearing, but that would not begin to
pay a third of the expenses incurred in
arranging the bout for Philadelphia,
and Harry Edwards, the promoter, is
out probably near $1,000 on the venture
The chances are that il Langford ever
boxes there again, he will have to re-
imburse the club for its loss before he
will get a chance. The action has put
Samuel in bad with promoters all over
the country for the time being, and he
will have to DO a lot OF explaining be-
fore he gets back TIE prestige he has
lost. It will suit Jack Johnson to
nicely, for Jack was being bounded all
over by the Boston Tar Baby in his
demand for a match. 1t gives Jack the

HILLS PARCHED
BY SUMMER HEAT

A. C. Mccain. assistant district for
ester. returned last evening from a
trip of inspection In the Caribou Ma.
tlonal forest Ia southeastern Idaho.
Mr.. mccain said that he had found
conditions In the Caribou district
very satisfactory considering the
time OF the year when everything of
vegetable nature Is parched with
tho summer heat and as inflammable
As so much tinder.
There have been 10 fires in tho
Carbon forest this year which is CON
Sidered extremely lucky by the rang
ers who patrol r. The Caribou for.
est is a sheep district but during the
dry season the llocks are forced TO
seek elsewhere for their grazing
When asked regarding the dsas-
trous fires which have been sweeping
the forestclad ranges in Montana
Mr.. Mccain said that II was most
unfortunate and that the loss to the
government would be tremendous
"A great proportion of these fires, -
said he. ARE probably due 10 care
less campers, while many are started
by sparks from passing locomotives.
L. prove of little avail In the case
Of Montana owing 10 tho extremely
dry season which has prevailed, In
ordinary seasons a small patrol In Il
government forest Will do wonders
and can be relied on to keep the FIRE
Damage down to tho minimum. In
the vast stretches of mountain tim
her In Montana however, it Is prac-
tically impossible to keep the matter
IN hand when the season is as dry
o5 at present. A spark falling into
the dry grass of forest Will grow TO

V..RN 0 N PLACED
IN BAD LIGHT

w. F Vernon, who was arrested
Monday on information furnished by
the police Of Cripple Creek. Colo
where he Is wanted TOT forgery and
obtaining money under false pre-
tences, is still confined at the city
jail awaiting official advice from
those who caused his arrest
Local investigation OF the mans
dealings since his arrival in Ogden
places him in the light of a clever
forger and one who Is bold enough
to strike at big game
It is said that Vernon approached
President Bigelow Of the Ogden State
bank last week regarding some certl-
fed drafts which he desired to have
cashed, but the banker proved too
shrewd for the fellow and turned
down his proposition almost before
he had attempted TO explain its de-
tails
On broachinG the subject to NIr
Bigelow. Vernon produced a certified
check for SIS and asked II there
would be any difficulty in his obtain
ing the money II called for Mr. Big
Glow observed, however. that besides
the check for SIS, the man also had
one for $1,000 made out in the same
manner and quietly told him that the
checks were not properly made out
and endorsed It was evidently the
intention OF Vernon TO negotiate the
cashing OF the smaller check and then
to switch to the one for a thousand
dollars IL he encountered no Difficult
ties In the transaction
The police said last evening that in
their opinion Vernon had very little
money when he arrived In Ogden and
registered at the Reed hotel In view
of the fact that money must be forth
coming, Vernon then went to gam
bling house on Twenty-flfth street and
tried his luck. II was said that he
won about hundred dollars and then
visited another house and lost II, after
which he complained to the police
that he had been robbed
In seeking the assistance of the po-
lice to aid him In recovering his mon
ey, Vernon offered to "split" with
thom on any sum that they could Sc
cure. thereby confirming the belief
that the whole affair was premeditat-
cd, the fellow intending to win at
gambling If he could. but n he lost
to try TO secure the cooperation of
the police in holding up" the gam
blers for money which he would claim
to have lost
The police secured information yes
terday that led them to believe that
Vernon has served one or more penl-
teutiary terms for forgery.
