BY Hal Sheridan.

New York, June 20.-Advices re-
ceived here today from Paris indicate
that Jack Johnson, who meets Frank
Moran Of Pittsburg, June 27 in 20
round bout, is not taking any chances
Of being caught out of condition. 1t
will be JOhnson's first ring appearance
since he knocked out Jim Flynn at Las
Vegas, N. NJ, July 4, 1912.
Interviewed for a Paris newspaper,
johnson said: "You can bet on June
q IN be the great Jack johnson who
floored Tommy Burns and who pounded
Jim Jeffries. It's true that Moran is
young and strong, but if Pm no longer
young, m in better form than ever be-
fore. I'll make Moran pay for the in
suits Americans have heaped upon me-
aud dash their crazy hopes. Let them

johnson is 80 years old a citizen of
France. The Frcnchmen seem to take
his talk seriously and think all Amcri'
cans are either Sioux or Comanches
johnson talks just like all the great
champions who come back to the ring
after a long absence. Little Johnny
Coulon was an example Of the semi-re-
tired champion who thought he was as

SALVADOR is KING.

San Francisco, June 20.-Sally Saliva
dor of Sacramento still retained today
his crown as king of the local four
FOUNDERS, but he had narrow escape in
last nights encounter with "Fighting
Dick" Hyland, an old timer who has
not appeared here in more than three
years and who was not figured to have
much of chance against the speedy
boxer who toppled Willie Hoppe from
the short bout throne a week ago.
Referee Harry Foley called it draw.
After taking a vOley of long range
punches in the first round, Hyland sud
denly floored Salvador with left to
the jaw. For the rest of the bout Sal
vador was extremely careful and
clinehed whenever danger threatened
On points Salvador had a slight shade
and FOley's decision was well received
Jimmy Fox showed great improve
ment in his bout with Kid Lee of Bos-
ton, whom he defeated in four rounds
Lee floored Fox in the first round but
Jimmy more than evened up in the
third. Eddie Miller stopped Nate Kali
of Chicago in the fourth round.
The other bouts resulted:
Charlie Givens of Seattle knocked out
Ray Rivers of Los Angeles in the third
round.
Sailor Schaeffer knocked out Bill
Sloan in the first round.

PIGEONS WIN RACE.

London, June 20-Three pigeons beat
Handel Booth today in his race from
Westminster to Pontefract, his home
town.
Party strife was forgotten at West
minister this morning when legislators
assembled in great numbers to witness
the start of the first NJ. p. pigeon race
in parliamentary history. The NJ. p.
was Handel Booth, the versatile hber-
al member for Pontefract who offered
a prize of $3.50 for every bird beating
him from Westminster to his home
town.
The regular feathered denizens of Pal
ace Yard were startled by tremendous
flutter of wings when, on the signal
being given, Starter Percy II. Hing
worth, Chief Liberal Whip, loosed the
champion homing pigeons for York
shire, and simultaneously Handel Booth
ringed about the foot like his oppon-
ents, dashed off for Kings Cross rail
way station in taxicab. Booth plan
ned to make the journey by express
train to Doncaster, and then by fast
automobile TO Pontefract, in four hours.
Last year when he matched POntecraft
pigeons against those of Shipley Hing
worth s constituency, the fastest time
made was hours, so minutes, but this
was believed to be exceptional. The
distance from London to POntefract is
about 172 miles. The birds were also
competing for the honor of POntefract
and Otley, which latter place through
its parliamentary representative Hast
ings Duncan, challenged Booth s con

CREW TAKES HIKE.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 2O.-To
keep down the weight of his men,
Coach Hiram Conibear, of the Univer-
sity of Washington varsity eight, an
nOunced today that from now until the
intercollegiate regatta next week he
probably would put the crew through
rowing practice twice day, the same
as the other oarsmen entered in the
big race.
The weather was frosty this morn
ing, with a stiff west wind blowing,
which kicked up white cOmbers on the
Hudson. Syracuse, Wisconsin, Colum-
bia, Cornell and Washington took ad-
vantage of favorable conditions last
evening and remained on the water un-
til dusk. Instead of venturing out this
morning, Conibear took the Washing
ton crew for long hike. A stiff
workout was planned for this after
noon.

FIGHT DATE CHANGED.

San Francisco, June 20.-Cable ad-
vices received here today said that the
90 round bout between Champion Will
lie Ritchie and Fredie Welsh in London
has been put over from Saturday night
July to the following Tuesday might,
July 7. The change was at the sug-
geston of the promoters, who figured
that many persons who might other
wise attend the show would be working
on Saturday night.
The same dispatches reported that
Gunboat Smith and Georges Carpenter
had deposited $4,000 each as a guaran'

While Odds Seem to Favor Champs in
Another Duel With McGraw's
Tribe, Against Braves 1t
May Be Differer1
HAVE GIANTS GOAT
(By Frank G.. Menke.)

New York, Sept. 12.-Down in Wall
street there are some folks who are
willing now to bet to l that the
Athletics win the world seres, no mat
ter who their opponents happen to
be.
If the Giants oppose the Athletics
it seems to us that the longend bet
tiers have good chance of collecting.
The Athletics, as previously pointed
out, seem to have the Giants buffalo
ed. The Giants have been beaten so
often by the Athletics that it's be-
come habit with them to take a
beating.
The Athletics outclass the Giants
this year in every department of tho
game. Their pitching staff seems far
stronger and more reliable, their
catching staff is steady and can hit,
their infield so lar over shadows ~
Giants that there's no comparison
and even in the outfield the Phila-
delphians have big edge.
Added to all this is the biggest
factor in favor of the Athletics-they
seem to have the number of he
Giants.
But, if the Athletics go against eth
err the Braves, Cards or Cubs, there
might be a different story to tell when
reviewing the result of the 1914 world
series. None of the three teams men,
toned seem any stronger than the
Clans blu hey would go inc battle with
a diffrent spirit than he Clans. There
wouldn't be that feeling akin to fear.
And, furthermCfe, the Athletics who
are SO familiar with the offensive and
defensive tactics of the Giants would
be UP against different proposition
ii they had to face another team.
The Athletics have batted against
Mathewson, Vanguard, Tesreau and

The clip of the Braves during this
stretch was almost unprecedented in
big league. Winning thirty-nine
games Cut of fifty played is some
thing almost beyond Imagination.
While fans in the other seven cities
were kicking against their home pride
for losing a majority of games played,
they did not stop to think that the
trouble was caused in almost every
instance by just one team Nearly
every club that lost a majority of its
games during this time would have
been winner of a majority of it's
games if it could have beaten the
Braves instead of losing to them by
a margin almost four to one.
Four COrnered Battle.
Many fans who still have faitn in
the third and fourth place clubs to
close up the slight gap that separa-
ties them from the Giants and Braves
will speak of the National league PEN
nant race as four cornered battle.
TO be sure it is by no means impos-
sible for Chicago and st. Louis to
land one-two, in event that the
Giants and the Braves should fall
into evil days within the next couple
of weeks. Beginning next Wednes-
day, there is going to be all the OPP
portunity in the world for ,Kaleid-
oscopic changes in the appearance of
the standings. From then on through
October6. two days before the end of
the season, there is not single one
without at least one game in which
two of these first four clubs meets.
So called crucian series come one
right after another in rapid rotation.
Giants Have Strcng Opposition.
The next Wednesday the Cardinals
tackle the Braves in Boston. That
series ends Friday and the following
day the Cubs file into the Polo
grounds to assail the Giants. The
Cubs move out then on Wednesday
September %, when the Cardinals
come into the New York lot for a
erie that lat three days. Then, on
Saturday, September 26, the Cubs
enter the stronghold of the Braves.
That battle winds UP the trip of the
westerners in the East. The Cubs
