Washington Wants Johnson-Langford.
Jack Johnson and Sam Langford
will fight on the outskirts of Washing
ton on Labor Day if the plans of a
group of sporting men are successful
and Governor Crothers of Maryland
does not order out the militia to stop
the bout.
State Senator Cummings offered a
bill at the request of Robert Wells, a
Washington and Maryland lawyer,
permitting finish fights in Maryland.
The bill passed the legislature. Some
of Wells friends have formed a syn
dictate for the purpose of pulling off
the bout, and they are now dealing
with Johnson and Langford. The en-
tire matter has been clothed in the
greatest secrecy. The promoters of
the fight have been anxious to avoid
all publicity until the arrangements
should be completed. Senator Cum
mings is confident that under the
terms of the new law Governor Croth-
ers cannot interfere with the fight.

the moment.
Kahuui Race Drawing Near. !
On July list the race for the big
yachts to Kahului will take place and
already those who are likely to form
the crews of the big boats are looking
forward to a pleasant trip, though
there is likely to be plenty of hard
work en- route. The only condition i'm !
posed on the yachts in this race is
that they proceed to the leeward of
Molokai, though naturally they would
prefer going to the windward side of
the island. 1t is expected that the
yachts Hawaii, Kamehameha, Char 3
lotte c. and Gladys will start, though
it is also likely that the Helene will
break into the race. The Governors /!
cup will be sailed for after this
event.
