HUNT FOR HOPES
IS HOPELESS one
Victory of Langford Over
Lang Makes Prospect
More Gloomy Than
Ever.
(By W. w. Naughton).

San Francisco, Cal, March 4.-Those
who wish to see the heavyweight
championship recaptured by some hope
of the white race will have to exercise
patience, from the look of things al
present. The result of that little af-
fair in London has rendered the stu
alton worse than ever. Johnson Is
firmly intrenched in the position ne
gained at Reno, and Sam Langford,
without covering the distance. has be-
come Johnson's natural protector
Johnson has intimated that he is In
no hurry to become involved in a
championship dispute with a man of
his own color, for the reason that
matches between negroes do not draw.
He says on the proper monetary show
ing being made, he will tackle any
white man who has the public indorse-
ment as fit and proper candidate for
the championship.
Well, before being considered wor-
thy opponent for Johnson, it will be
necessary for the white man to defeat
Langford. Who 1t there in sight that is
equal to the task? Who is the wNite
hope anxious to try his hand at putting
Iangford out Of the championship run
ming?
Some Day White Man May Win.
Some day, Of course, the white man
will be on top again. but just now,
what with the Johnsons, the Lang
fords. the Hank Griffins and a few 9TH
ers. there is not much about the heavy
weight end of pugilism to insure hope.
It's not so bad lower down the scale.
There are no Geo. Dixons, Joe Cans, or
Joe Wolcotts in the game at present
and if it were made q felony for any
one weighing over 40 pounds to en-
gage in prize fighting" the supremacy
Of the white race would remain intact
There's a suggestion of levity about
that, though, and goodness knows the
theme is not one that lends itself to
iocular discussion.
Poor Bill Lang.

Fitzsimmons, after splitting even with
Tommy Burns and making an indiffer-
ent showing with Al Kaufman, explain
ed away on the score that he had suf-
fered injury to his arm while fighting
after licking Jack Burns Of Salina and
foolishly fouling petty officer Curran,
when victory was. in sight, it began to
look as though Bill had a chance to
work forward until he had himself in
Johnson's company. But there IS no
getting out of the performance with
Langfcrd Bill has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting. The
wondrous future predicted for him by
Hugh Mcintosh has become a, brick
wall He can go no further in the d.
rection of the championship goal and
he will have to hustle, for that matter,
to obtain good standing in the society
of second raters. of which Jim Flynn,
Jim Barry, Tommy Ross, Al Kaufman
and a few others are active members
If there is to be another champion
ship contest in the near future, John
son and Langford must furnish it, for
there is no getting away from the fact
that Langford is Johnson's logical op-
ponent."
With so much admitted, the next
question is, who will handle the af-
fair? To begin with. there is not the
remotest chance, apparently, Of getting

For one thing, the sentiment bear

nation as to how far Mcintosh will go,

The National Sporting club, of Lon
don. was in the field as a bidder for a
Johnson-Langford fight. That was be-
fore the Langford-Bang bout took
place But there was something about
the attitude of the National which
made evident it did not intend to put
itself out to any extent to secure the
attraction.
One Of the conditions on which it
proposed to exploit Langford and John
son was that Johnson should apologize
to the club for throwing it down once
when all arrangements had been made
for a go in which Langford and john
son were to have been the principals
The idea of requiring an apology
from worlds champion before match
ing him has its amusing side. As
rule the promoters have to go on their
knees to the big guns Of the ring.
So far as can be learned, the hoity-
toity attitude of the National Sporting
club has not leased Johnson in the
least. He has sid that if he fights In
London, he will insist upon an Ameri-
can referee, and when the. National Of
ficials hear that they will probably
demand two apologies.
If Johnson and Langford box in Lon
don the probability is that Mcintosh
will be director general Of the affair,
but it's a sure shot that wherever the
pair fight the purse will not be a
record breaking one.

WILL LIAM B. POTTS
 ACCIDENTALLY KILLED

Little Rock, Ark, Augsut A. Handling revolvers daily for years, William B. Potts, Bertil. lion clerk of the Little Rock DO. Ice force, became bit careless with firearms and thus met his death Thursday afternoon. Potts had just returned to the police Headquarters after business call down the street, stopping frequently on the way to chat with acquaintances. He went into his office and pulled out Colt revol. yer, which he procee ded to clean. Holding the gun in his left hand, with the barrel pointed at his breast, he applied the cloth to the tirearm. He thought the gun was unloaded at the time, and a slight pressure on the trig- ger, sent bullet crashing into his heart, causing instant death. The injured man never spoke af- ter he was shot, and was dead before other officers in the room reached his bedside. Potts was a very quite and companion able fellow, and served number of years on the detective force. He was book binder by trade and worked for a number of years in the government offices in Washington. He served dur ing the Woodson, Lennon and first Duley terms on the detect i've force, returning to the force with the election of Mayor Tay- Tor, with whom he is prime fav orite. Potts was 45 years of age and leaves a wife and several children. The funeral will take place this afternoon under the auspices of the Woodmen of the World, of which lodge he has been an officer.

PIONEERS WOULD BE
 FILLED WITH WONDER

Little Rock, Ark, August A. If Chester Ashley and some of the pioneer citizens could come hack today they would look with wonder at the value of property they disposed O. years ago for what they considered large consideration, but which is now considered a mere song. Rat terree & Sons, local agents, who have placed a new addition upon the market, we'll out in the sub- urbs, paid few Jays ago Sl7,- s75 for the 32 acres, which Mag. eie Paschal in 1904 sold for 5000. In securing the abstract for this property the abstractors discov- cred the great increase in Little Rock property. la 1885 Chester Ashley sold two lots at Mark. ham and Louisiana streets for $500, which are now rated at sl0O,O0O. The same citizen in 1s47, having acquired the habit of giving away his property, sold to Benjamin Pattie, a lot near the corner of Fifth and Main for $500, which is now worth S100,000. In 1877 M. Klrst bought the lot on the cor her of Ninth and Main now occu. epied by the Kirst store for $500. It is now worth $60,000. As late as 1880, the land in the vicinity of Rwentythird and Arch streets was acreage property, saleable at from S25 to $40 per acre. Now it is worth S3000 per lot, or S15,- 900 per acre. The hills west of Little Rock were worth little, ev- en in 1890 and the records show
 some sold at that time for $2 per acre. Lots there now are selling from S200 up. There was land still further out, and bit steep CT, which was sold in 1900 for N'25 per acre. It is now bringing slOO per lot. The old records
