BOXING NOTES

Jack Johnson has been exposed. This
weeks issue of the London John
BUR publishes the whole story. The
authority for the statements contain
ed in the story come from Johnson 5
manager, Henri Wolf John Bulls
story doesn't sound very plausible in
all its points, but what it says is this:
johnson wanted McKetrick, Moran's
manager. to agree to have Moran lay
down inside of eight rounds. II Me-
Ketrick agreed to this, he was to get
40 per cent of the gate; otherwise,
Johnson was TO get 80 per cent. of the
receipts" McKetriek, according to
John Bull" agreed to this to get
Johnson in the ring and then told
Moran to go ahead and fight to the
limit Moran did this, and Johnson
found himself double crossed. He got
the 80 per cent. of the gate, however
John Bull" says Johnson financed the
entire affair and was the club be-
hind the match.
Gilbert Gallant is not satisfied that
-Matty Baldwin is a better boxer than
he and he wants another chance to re-
gain the New England title. Gallant is
not offering any excuses, but figures that
the worst he should have got in his bat
tie with Baldwin at the Atlas A. A.
Tuesday night was a draw. If Baldwin
will not box him again until he has met
some one else. Gallant is ready to do 50,
no matter who il is. As Eddie Murphy
wants a return engagement with Gal
liant, II is likely that the pair will be
matched and the winner will get the
chance to meet Baldwin.
Jack Johnson must be figuring that he
will be able to return to this country
shortly without being arrested. He
offers 10 meet Jess willard in a six
round bout in Philadelphia in November.

Johnson says that he will not ask high
price for his services, as he only wants
to show Tom Jones' manager Of Willard,
that Jess does not class with him.

HANSON ESCAPES
HOULTON OFFICER
AFTER ARRESTED
Y. M. c. A. Imposter Goes Out
Back Door After DecOying
Officer at Home

Houlton, Me, July 20.-Cyril 7. Hanson,
who has been denounced as an imposter
by the State Y. NJ. c. A authorities at
Waterville because of his activities in
soliciting funds for that organization in
Aroostook and Washington counties, has
made his escape from this town, where
Sheriff Guion because of an alleged debt
1t is claimed he has owed Leonard p.
Berry of Littleton for over a year.
Hanson has been active in soliciting
funds for the Y. NJ. c. A. and other re-
ligious organizations among the people
of this section of Maine for some time
past. He seemed surprised when Deputy
Sheriff Guion placed him under arrest
IF you'll just come up to my boarding
house with me I'll pay the bill" he told
the officer, who obligingly went.
On arriving at the house he entered his
room for the ostensible purpose of get
ting the money. Instead of doing so,
however. he slipped through the back
door and disappeared. Sheriff Guion seiz-
ed his suitcase and found it contained a
number of letters addressed to Cyril I.
Hanson, which allowed he owed numer-
Gus bills through this section of the
country.
Hanson claimed here that he was work
ing under the direction of Y. NJ. c. A.
Sec Jeff Smith of Waterville, but Mr..
Smith informed the authorities here that
Hanson's collections were entirely unau-
thorized.
Hanson is described as being small
and slender, with a light complexion and
smooth face He is % or % years old.

HIDE
FOUND MONDAY IN
PORTLAND HOUSE
Door Covered with Cement and
Rocks to Match Wall
Conceals Liquors

Portland, Me-, July 20.-Deputy Sher-
ifs Hunt, Doughty and Hermann
searched A Center street this noon
and found hide of unusual effective
ness and nicely. Stone and cement to
match the cellar wall had been fasten-
ed to door in the walls so artistically
that the keen eye of Deputy Sheriff
Doughty and the insertion of his jim
my in a narrow crack were all that
made the discovery possible. They
took PA half-pints out of the hide
which extended back under the side
walk. 1t had a capacity of about a
barrel of half-pints.
This wall is in the cellar of a dwell
ing and there was suspicion that liq-
uor was being handled in that corner.
These officers went down to look
around. They went into the cellar and
sounded the walls and partitions to
find if a hollow sound would be tell
tale sign. Rough rocks and cement
form the wall. A section had been
taken out and a board door fitted to
a framework set in the back of the
wall. A lock was attached and a long
kew was evidently required to reach in
through the small opening which was
hardly large enough to betray the
fact that such a device was in that
space The joints were nicely conceai-
ed and the wall looked solid. 1t was
impossible to connect anybody with
the place but the door and the other
evidence of the purpose for which the
hide was constructed were taken to
the office in the county building.
