Jack Johnson Will Meet Frank

tanned by Jack Johnson, the negro
heavyweight champion of tho world, in
his bout here last night with Battling

ment Of the formers fight with Frank

The poor battle put up by the cham
pion was the cause OF much dissatis-
faction here. Those who attended tho
bout believe that Johnson would have
disposed OF his less experienced oppo-

This dissatisfaction was appcascd
somewhat by the announcement that
Jack had broken his arm In the third

CLEVER BOXERS
MISS APPLAUSE
GLOVE SCIENCE NOT POPULAR
WITH ALL RINGSIDERS.

Whether improvement in the art or
science of boxing is keeping pace with
ton often discussed where boxing en-
thusiastS gather, Many old time fol-
lowers of ring events maintain that
instead of improving it is deteriorat-
ing. To prove that this is SO they
call attention to the fact. that there
are no fighters at present to compare
with Corbett, Fitzsimmons. Ryan,
Cans, McGovern, Dixon and many
generation or SO ago.
Most of the criticism directed at
present day boxers is to the effect
that very few appreciate the value of
a little judicious feinting before a
lead and that footwork is rapidly be-
coming lost art. Observation of the
local clubs any evening viii bear out
much of this opinion. Nor is the rea-
son far to seek why it should be so.
Provided there is plenty of action
the spectators ase well satisfied with
the chara cter c. the entertainment
afforded. In fact a certain percentage
resent bitterly any attempt upon the
part of the performers in the preliIn-
mary bouts to make use of feinting.
ducking or sidestepping. Such man
euvers are permitted the boxers in
the main event, but any attempt to be
clever on the part of preliminary
youngSter at once calls forth many
yells of disapprova1. Yet it Is from
the Tanks OF these youngsters LQSI the
champions of the future are to come
and those of the present have come.
OF course there Is a good portion
of every ringside gathering who ia
vor science rather than crude slug
cling. But these persons seldom be-
long to the type who. voice their opin-
ions at the top of their lungs. Com
sequently the noisy galleryite who

no provocations more or less directs
the situation. although his views are

Undoubtedly the amount of adverse
criticism directed at Abe AtteIl, John

much to do with influencing senti-
ment against clever boxing These
men are recognized to be the leading

ing them appears to the unthfnking to
be the same objecting to skill tax
ing the place of brute strength. But
as a. matter of fact, although it is
nearly always the clever boxer who
is disposed to cheat by unduly con-
serving his energy, that is no reason
why scientific boxing should be con-
sidered synonymous with stalling. Yet
it is plain that there Is certain ele-
ment that makes no distinction.

Chicago. Feb. 6.-Mordecai Brown.
the former star pitcher of the Cubs
who recently signed, to play with the
Cincinnati Reds next season, is in a
surgeons care and may undergo an
operation. The three-hngered pitch
ing marvel of former days has his
knee in plaster cast, as it never got
fully well after his injury last sum
mer, when he fractured it stealing
second base. The unfortunate part of
Browns steal was that he had no oc-
casion to slide. King was catching
for the Braves, and he got the ball
50 late that he made no attempt to
throw out his old battery partner at
second. SIS
Brown thinks if his leg RECEIVERS it's
normal strength he will make good
for Joe Tinker. In pitching he rests
much of his weight on the injured
leg, and if it does not round into con-
dition his days as a player will be
over. If the surgeon should find it
necessary to operate on the leg Brown
will not make the Reds training trip,
but will join the team when it gets
back to Cincinnati.
