A Close Game.

There was surprise in store for
the basketball team of the Boise
High school when 1t clashed with the
Meridian High boys in the local gym
nasium Friday night. The visitors
won by score of 81 to rs, but II
was undoubtedly one of the closest
and most strenuous games that either
team will experience this season.
The Meridianites apparently had
the best of it up to the last three
minutes of play, but when time was
called their opponents had forced
the score up to tie, Is to %. A
foul throw by the home guards and
the first field goal by the Boise boys
gave the latter the game and the
final score.
The fast Meridian five which
Coach Lindsey has developed this
season consists of John Williamson,
right foreward; Jesse Evans, left
forward; Lloyd Hutchinson, center;
Roy Hutchinson, left guard; Clarence
Irwin, left guard. The team has
thus far two victories to its credit
one at Ustick and the other over the
Y. M. c. A. seniors of Boise.

JOHNSON SWEARS
HE IS NO CRIMINAL
EX-Champion Applies for
American Passport to Leave
Cuba for Europe.

HAVANA, April Slack johnson has
applied at the American Legation for a
passport for himself and his wife, swear
ing TO an attidavit that he had never
been convicted of felony in the United
States, that no charge was pending
against him. and that he was not subject
to arrest II he returned to America
johnson also swore that he possessed
American passports when he came to
cuba, but that these had been stolen
from him while here. In his affidavit
Johnson said he was an American citizen
and that he purposed to return to the
United States within the next three
months,
On these statements passports were
made out for Johnson and his wife. The
FORMER champion said he purposed to go
from Cuba 10 Jamaica and thence 10
England and France, where he hoped to
make more money before retiring TO the
life OF farmer In France johnson said
no expected TO ally himself with moving
picture concerns In Europe and that he
probably would lecture before and during
the exhibition OF the pictures of the night
in which Willard defeated him.
Johnson, however. has told so many
stories concerning his future plans that
nobody in Havana knows Just what he
will do, The belief seems to be growing
that he has no definite ideas as TO The
future.
There has been much doubt In Havana
as to JohRson's legal standing in the
United States reports having been cir
eulated that his friends were attemptinR
10 arrange for his case in Chicago under

HAVANA FIGHT FILMS
MAY BE SHOWN IN US.
Loophole in Courts Delay May
Be Used to Exhibit Motion
Pictures.

NEW YORK, April S-There Is a bare
possibility that the jess Willard-Jack
Johnson fight Aims may be seen in the
United States In spite of the Federal
statute which expressly forbids not only
the interstate transportation OF fight
Aims. but the importation OF such films
from foreign countries. 1t was learned
at the Federal District Attorneys office
yesterday that the chances of the pic
lures being shown depend entirely on the
decision in the case OF the Welsh .Ritchie
pictures taken In London last year
These Aims are being held up by the
Treasury Department on the ground that
they are a violation of this law, which
was passed by Congress July 81, 1910, q
days after the Jeffrics-Johnson fight at
Reno. New, and which resulted from
fears on the part OF many members of
Congress. especially from the South, that
riots would follow attempts of the pro-
moters to show the fight In the movies
When an attempt was made TO import
the Ritchie-Welsh pictures promoters con-
tended that they were not prizefght pie
lures. inasmuch as the laws of England
prohibit prizehghting. They contended
that the pictures were merely reproduc-
tions of q boxing match.
The United States Government placed
; libel on them. which is tantamount to
an attachment, and the case is before the
United States District Court. The Gov
ernment holds that the Ritchie- Welsh |
bout was prize fight in spirit at least. |
Should the Government lose the case 1t |
Nill be appealed 10 the United States /
Supreme Court.
And here is the loophole through which
the promoters OF the Johnson Willard
pictures hope 10 squirm. After the de-
elsion in the Ritchie- Welsh case the pro-
meters Of that film intend to appear in
court with a plea to allow them to pro-
auee the pictures under bonds while the
Government's appeal Is pending AS it
Hin be year or so before the appeal Is
aefed upon the picture people viii have
zmple time 10 spread their films all over
me country.
The Johnson Willard hlm promoters in
end to do as the English picture people
propose. They had special permit from
he Cuban Government allowing them 10
'pnduet "a boxing contest" They
sol.ked always on the theory that their
.eninrs vas not a prize hght The Cuban
government granted permission because
