CHAMPION Will
TAKE LONG REST
JACK JoHNsoNs FRIENDS CLAIM
THERE is NO OTHER REAL
HEAVYWEIGHT IN THE
RING.

Chicago. March 7.-Intimates of
Champion Jack Johnson state that it
will be a long time before the heavy
weight re-enters the ring. They have
sounded the big black and declare his
business acumen tells him it would be
a bad policy for him to fght now.
According to Johnsons way of
thinking there is but one man entitled
to be called real aspirant for the
championship and that is Sam Lang
ford. Johnson points out that Tommy
Burns received $4,000 as his share Of
the purse for the Johnson fight. while
Johnson, although the victor, received
but $1,000 That being the case john
son says he feels he will be cheapening
his position if he entered the ring for
less than a $4,000 guarantee win,
lose or draw.
Johnson has declared to his friends
that there certainly is no promoter in
America who could offer such a purse
for fight between negroes. Nor do
the foreign promoters express a will
ingness to hoist such purse as John
son would demand for fight. For
that reason they no not believe the big
black will fight for a long while If ever
again.
Johnson has more money now than
he ever thought existed I'm the world
and he is supremely happy far away
from the discipline Of a training camp.
He is not anxious to fight and would
be gotten into the ring only when his
conditions are met.
Not until there has been found a
white man OF sufficient reputation to
make the battle worth while will john
son fight. He is known to have a
most wholesome respect for Sam
Langford's proves.

TRYING I0PROYE THAT
BASEBALL Is A SCIENCt

Pittsburg. Pa, March IF Presi-
dent Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pitts
burg base ball club, can demonstrate
TO the satisfaction of Pittsburg's city
council that base ball is an institution
for the promotion of the arts and
sciences, he will secure a big slice of
valuable ground in Schenley park to
enlarge the Forbes field stadium.
There is now an ordinance before
the city council providing for the deed
ing of the park land to the ball club,
but a few sticklers for form have de-
clared that the provision in the deed
conveying the land from Mrs. Mary
Schenley's estate to the city SPECIFICS
that the ground shall be used only for
parks public libraries, art buildings,
and institutions for scientific uplift.
The councilmen are in favor of Civ
ing up the land. and already some of
the more rabid fans among them are
preparing arguments for Dreyfuss that
are calculated to officially convince the
council that baseball is an uplifting in
stltution.
After the limitations for the use OF
the land were described i'm the deed
to the city ii is stated "but said limi-
tations shall not prevent the use of
portion of said property for public Ii
brary, or art buildings, or such insti'
tutions for the promotion of the arts
and sciences as the city of Pittsburg by
its duly constituted authorities may
elect"
When Hans Wagner could get dis
charged from jury duty by promisinl
to play great ball for Pittsburg, 1t cal
easily be seen how the English Ian
guage will be juggled in the council
to enlarge the ball grounds.

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
FRANKIE WHITE GIVES
JOHNNY C0UL0N BOOST

Chicago, March FRANKIE Conley,
the Kenosha bantamweight, who was
defeated by Johnny Coulon at New Or
leans recently passed through the city
this week on his way home in a jovial
frame of mind despite his defeat. Con-
ley said he would try to get another
match with Coulon, but was loud in
his praise for the Chicagoan and did
not attempt to make a single excuse
for his defeat.
"Coulon is a great little fighter"
Conley said, land he beat me on the
square During the early stages of
the fight Coulon fought on the defen-
sive and made me do all the leading,
while he made few attempts to coun-
ter or force the going. After we had
battled for 10 rounds Coulon assumed
the offensive and came after me in
every round like a wild bull. He took
wallop to land one, and whenever
hit him it did not have any effect
/ Johnny is a hard hitter and clever
| fighter, but / am going to try to get

Conley is a pleasant little fellow

to be the proper distance to travel The

think that IT is the proper limit for all

rounds is much faster than one of Is

They contcend that, the strength, of
the men begin TO peter after they have
gone over the ten-round limit and that
the contests at this point are dull.
20 minutes of actual fighting in the
final battle of series is enough TO sat-

cations are that at no distant date.
contests of this length will be permit

DEER MORE PLENTIFUL.
That They Are Increasing in Number
is Opinion of Warden Pierce.

mat ihey Are Increasing IN Number
is Opinion of Warden Pierce.
In the opinion Of State Game War
den Pierce, the number of deer in the
upper peninsula is increasing rather
than diminishing. MY deputies tell me
that Notwithstanding the exceptional
ly heavy slaughter during the hunting
season last fall. there are still lots of
deer in the woods this winter, more
than usual, in fact" he says.
Mr.. Pierce estimates the number of
deer killed i'm Michigan last fall at 90
900, about $4,000 of which were killed
in the upper peninsula. Nearly 5000
were shipped across the straits at St.
Ignace and easily enough to make up
that number were shipped out by way
of Menominee and Iron Mountain.
There were about 10000 licenses taken
out by resident upper peninsula hum
ters and Mr.. Pierce considers one deer
per license a conservative estimate OF
the number killed by upper peninsula
sportsmen. This brings the total kill
ed in the upper peninsula to 10000.
Notwithstanding this unusually
heavy kill, am positive that there are
more deer i'm the upper peninsula thar
few years ago. said Mr.. Pierce. The
same is not true in the lower peninsu
la. owing to the steadily northwart
march of the farmers population.

MICHIGAN BALL SCHEDULE.
Wolverines Will Not Meet Any West
ern Teams This Season.

Ann Arbor. Mich, March THE ef-
feet of Michigan's relations with the
conference is reflected strongly in the
baseball schedule which Athletic Di-
rector Bartelme has just made public
last night. Although twenty-six games
with a possibility OF two more are
scheduled. the list does not include a
single game with a western team.
The team will play eight games In
the south during the Easter vacation,
and tour the east late in May, meeting
Princeton. Brown and Syracuse. OF
the eleven games 10 be played ON Ferry

WOULD PROMOTE
GREATER SAFETY
AGITATION STARTED IN LAURIUM
TO HAVE STREET CARS STOP
WHEN PRoAC
ING CORNERS.

Iaurium businessmen have started
an agitation to have the village coun-
ell pass an ordinance, requiring street
cars passing through the village To
stop when approaching a corner, be-
fore crossing the street. A similar ord
nance is now in effect in the village
of Red Jacket, but applies only to Elm
street. 1t is claimed, however, that
there is as much need for such an ord
nance i'm Laurium as in Red Jacket
and that its passage and enforcement
would mean much greater safety par
ticularly on Third and Fourth streets,
where the traffic is heavy and where
the presence of large buildings on the
four corners make 1t almost impossible
for those in wagons or automobiles, to
see the danger in time to stop.
This matter has been frequently dis
cussed, but the agitation reached a
point where formal action was taken
1t is known, however. that several OF
the prospective trustees of the village
have been approached on the matter
and that an ordinance will be intro
duced when the new council takes III
its duties, bearing on this question.
Council Meeting Tonight.
The regular monthly meeting of tn
council will be held this evening. N
new business is likely TO be considered
as the present members seem dispose
to defer special matters until after tn
new council takes up its duties.

BET SYNDICATE
NOT DANGEROUS
PRESIDENT NAViN OF DETROIT
TIGERS CAN SEE NO REASON
WHY HE SHOULD BE
WORRIED.

Frank j. Navin, president of the De-
troit baseball club, is one magnate who
is not worrying over anything the re-
Gently Matched betting syndicate might
do in the way of menacing the good
standing of the great national game.
Were all the men who have large sums
invested in baseball of the same turn
of mind as the Detroit magnate they
cculd be care free and on easy street.
When asked what he thought of the
syndicate as threatening to the game,
Mr.. Navin clearly gave his views on
the matter. He didn't. say that he was
either opposed to it or for it. He mere
ly conveyed the impression that there
is no cause for worry by the club own
ers. -...,.
II can't understand how they are
going to make a success of it," declar-
ed Mr.. Navin.. ANY way you look at
il. it's bound TO be a failure. Take
for instance the general run.of. gamb-
| lers, and that's the Class whose pat
ronage the syndicate is dickering for.
A gambler wants quick action. They
want to win or lose quickly. Now the
small fry. the portion of the gambling
element who puts up small wagers, are
not going to leave their money up for
six months before they know whether
they have won or lost, consequently
there is very little chance that the syn
dicatel will get encouragement from
that source. Small betters can't ar
ford to leave their money stand tha
long. and If they could they wouldn't
"And it's even worse for the pros
poets of success of the syndicate 1
they hope to deal with the men whC
make large wagers. A man who wa.
gers a large amount, unless he is {
fool will not leave his money up IN
the hands of the syndicate and accep
in return mere piece OF paper, which
is the customary procedure Of profcs
sional gamblers and bookmakers. How
many men do you suppose would pu
UP their money in the hands of prac
teal strangers? 1t is more logical e
assume that they would demand thu
money to be put i'm the hands Of some
reputable stakeholder. so as to maxi
sure the money was there to go and ge
when they won it,"
Mr.. Navin believes that If the gamb
iers can be kept from doing business
in the stands. and 1t wouldn't be an!
trouble to the magnates to stamp on
the practice, the game. no matter how
much betting there is done on the out
side will not be menaced in the least.
