WHAT inspired JACK JOHNSON

I'm no millionaire and I've got
sense enough to know the "Oid Dame
Nature is going to take the. speed and
strength away from Jack Johnson the
same as she did to Sullivan, JeffrieS
and the rest of them. So I'm just get
ing ready for that time When a
man gets to my age the training grind
Gets to be too much of strain on
him, which brings me to something l
want you to say for me. When Labor
day comes around Jack Johnson is
through with the fighting game, and
that goes. What's the use of risking
sickness for the sake of few dollars,
more or less?
Il have two hobbies now, which take
up lots of my time" he went on. One
CT them is the study of the tubercular
germ and the other an invention Of
mine, a triple compound cylinder for
a steam engine, which l believe ought
to be a good thing. I've always been
fascinated by machinery When the
Lake Shore & Pennsylvania first put
on their eighteen-hour trains between
Chicago and New York l used to go
down to South Bend often just to
watch them go through, and it was on

idea of my invention. Some day ex-

In g. reminiscent mood recently
Jack Johnson told the secret of his
success in the prize ring.
You want to know the real secret
what got me started right away
back when l was a kid" he asked.
I'll tell you. 1t was my father, who
was slave before the war, and who
drove United States army wagon
through almost all the struggle. He
was the most perfect physical spec1-
naen l have ever seen, and he gave me
thu first lessons l ever had in taking
proper care of myself, which is the
basis of all physical culture. Father
was not giant in stature, but he
was built like the old Roman gladi-
ators. He could lift enormous weights
and was a fairly good wrestler. b"'
he never did any boxing. He died in
Texas six years ago, "a years old,
strong till the day of his death.
When I got started on my career
as a boxer l always used to remember
that instruction he gave me. | had
such admiration for his physica!
strength that whatever he said made
c strong impression on me. l realize
now that I got my real start toward
success in those old days down South
watching my daddy and needing the
advice which he gave me.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, JulY H.
When the new Federal grand jury Is
-impanelled, according to statement
credited to Assistant United States
Attorney Archibald today, written
confession will be placed before It,
duplicating prominent Los Angeles
and San Francisco men In the SNUG
glin operations revealed by the recent
arrest of William Gerald and Harry
Lloyd, who were caught trying to run
a boatload Of contraband Chinese
from Ensanada, Lower California, In
to the United States. The confession
il said to have been made by Gerald,
who was released from prison only Is
months ago, after having served hye
years for smuggling Chinese.
According to Federal officials, the
nfgher-ups" include San Francisco
and Los Angeles men who have agents
in China to obtain coolie labor for the
extensive agricultural and horticul-
taral interests on the coast. The CHI

MISS EDNA SMITH NEW
TENNIS CHAMPION Of
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Defeats Miss Louise Phillips of
Chicago in WeIl-PIayed Fin
ais Yesterday at Beretania

Miss Edna Smith, of Quincy, Mass,
Is the new tennis champion of Hawaii.
She won the title yesterday by beat
ing Miss Louise Phillips, the Chicago
player, in a match that was replete
with flashes of splendid tennis form.
Miss Smith really earned her victory,
winning many points with clean aces
due to clever placing, and not depend
ing on the. misplays of her opponent,
as is so often the case in ladies' ten
mis-.
The first set went to Miss Phillips
Cd, after some exciting ralleys. In
the second, Miss Smith took the lead
at the start, and placed to such good
purpose that she ran the set out 6-1.
The final set was a see-saw affair,
which was captured by the new cham
pion 81. ,
Neither player slowed up, as the
points fell first on one side of the net
and then on the other. In fact. It was
better exhibition Of the game at the
close than at the beginning of the
match. =.

Billy Hebron, the well known
local sporting man, will referee the
Observation-Disclosures fight this after
noon. This was decided last night
at conference between the fighters
and the promoter, after q long
wrangle over who was to be the third
man in the ring.
Mccarthy has been standing out
for George 1ngle, but Madison thought
that 1t wasn't good business, as Nc
Garthy and Ingle were travelling
companions on the way down here.
Madison wanted Mike Patton, but the
latter wasn't over anxious to serve,
after his experiences at the last bout.
Hebron is the compromise candi-
date. He has had considerable ex.
perience as q referee, doing good
work here in almost all. the bouts
that were pulled on between 1900
and 1905. HIS integrity is undisputed
and he knows the oueensbury game
from A TO y.
Both mccarthy ana Madison are in
FIRST rate shape for their set-to. and
the same can be said OF .Knpa and
Bauerso0k, whose mill is attracting
hardly less attention than the main
event.
The seating arrangements at Ath-
ietie Rafk are capable oG giving
everybody and ufi0bstructed view Of
the ring. and the TACT that the fight
Is to be held III the open air In the
cool Of the afternoon should bring
out 3 biz crowd .
The ring has been improved some
what, q padded ledge being built
around the outside edge. so that the
fighters put on tie ropes will not
fall on the platform.
The main event should come on
about s. the first prelim being sched-
uIed for 4.

BAMBOO POLE
HELPED SMASH
THE RECORDS

Less than fifteen years ago q pole
vault of 9 feet 8 inches was consider
ed a great performances. This height
was a record In many section OF the
country. The mark has been tppsted
gradually until at the present time {
Ii Is feet / inch, held by Robert Card
ner, of Yale, who made me marx IN
the Eastern intercollegi held ct
Philadelphia on June 1.
The Improvement In this event may
be attributed to the use Of the BAN.
boo pole. When pole vaulting first
was recognized as q standard event
many poles were used. The vaulters
soon tired in repeatedly carrying the
heavy poles down the runWays and at
tempting to clear the bar at various
heights. After the heavy pole went
out Of existence, the spruce pole was
used and the record was raised still
higher.
At this time the coaches, trainers
and yaulters began scientific study
of the art of pole vahlting. Everything
possible was done to improve the
form of the contestants. After th'
spruce pole supplanted the one Of oak,
coaches and trainers began looking
for some other kind Of wood which
was Fighter but would carry the weight
of the vaulter. The bamboo finally was
discovered. 1t was found that II the
pole was tapped In different places it
would uphold the weight Of map :
1876 pounds. Now the bamboo pole Is
used entirely by good vaulters.
Thirteen Feet Some Height.
At the present time the vaulter has
no business taking part in an impor-
tant meet unless he can clear the bar
at twelve feet. The art has reached
the stage where it is q common oc-
currence to see vaulter measure on
a certain running distance and adjust
the standards in such way that moth
ing will hinder his attempt to get over
the bar. Just how high the yaulters
will be able to clear the bar is a met
ter of conjecture, but thirteen feet In
the air is a mighty good vault. For
those who don't realize how high 1t Is
let them climb tree and look down
from that distance. Then they will |

over the bar at such height.

was first made to solid coral founda-

there is solid wall Of concrete 3

guard against any bullet that might

Guardsmen and Marines MayI
Shoot Team Match in the
Near Future-Rifle Reports |

The exact sport of rife shooting is
soon to get substantial boost in Ho-
noluiu. For several weeks past men
have been hard at work on the con-
struction of new rife butts for the
National Guard, at the Kakaako range,
and with their completion, and the
commencement of the outdoor course
for the citizen soldiers, 1t is believ-
ed that there will be largely increased
interest, and that outside the line OF
military duty there will be iome rifle
matches which should provide good
sport. II " .". =. -:
Among the guardsmen there are a
number of first class marksmen, but
lately there has been little interest in
shooting, and it has been hard to
drum. up any enthusiasm. Then, sp-
parehtly for no good reason, interest
seemed to revive, and as the new
range nears completion, there is more
shooting talk than has been heard for
some time. Already a number OF
team matches are in the air, while in
diyidual rivalry is beginning to assert

The Kakaako range is to be used
Jointly by the Territorial soldiers and
the marine corps battalion at Camp

National Guard is supplying the ma.

been doing the actual work, the re-
suit being the finest and most sub
stantial construction of this sort in

The work has brought out very
strongly the versatility of the marines.
When Major Neville looked for the
right men to detail for the construc-
ton work he found any number OF

stantial foot wharf across the shoals
and mud fiat connects the targets with
the shore, and enables the men who
serve them to go to and from the
