JOHNSON-WILLARD BOUT POSTPONED:
 (LOUD APPLAUSED

Fl Paso. Tex, February 22.-Virtual postponement of the Jack Johnson-Jess Willard boxing bout was admitted late today by the promoter. It was believed that Johnson could not arrive at Juarez. Mexico from Havana by way of any Mexican seaport by March 6.
 Jack Curley, the promoter, declared, however, that he believed Johnson would arrive at Juarez within short time after the original date. Carranza officials have announced they will arrest Johnson on the gound that he is fugitive from justice from the United States.
 Johnson cabled from Cuba today that if it were considered impossible to hold the fight in Juarez the bout could be held at Havana. Curley, however de- clared he would not consent since. all matters had been arranged at Juarez.
 Curey declared again today that no other boxer would be substituted for Johnson. He said that Johnson would need at least a weeks training at Juarez before the fight This week, with the time required for Johnson's trip through Mexico even should he encounter no great difficulty would make it impossible for him to fight March 6.
 Willard Is continuing his training at his camp on this side of the boundary.

IN the sudden death of President
 kavanaugh the Southern league
 undoubtedly has been dealt a seri- GUS blow. It has taken from the head of that association one of the most efficient league presidents in the en- tire country. and it has removed from the executive department of the asso- citation the strong hand so needed at present to guide the league through the stormy times of general business depression and baseball dissension
 The death of Judge kavanaugh came at most inopportune moment. Not since the days when he first toAk charge of the association--then a loosely or. ganized circuit on the very brink of complete disintergration-has the Southern league been more in need of A leader of sound business judgment and true executive ability than it is today
 Baseball is passing through a crisis

TINY TAD TRAFFIC
 OFFICER FOR A BIT

The tiniest officer who ever regulated traffic in Birmingham stood at Second avenue and Twentieth street yesterday and waved the big cars and the street cars and the drays back and forth with Imaginable dignity. The youthful traffic regulator was Frederick Hamm, whose father is stationed there. The young fel- low. measuring about three feet. stood beside his father and seemed to obtain considerable enjoyment from his odd ex- perience. His authority was short lived, however for his smaller brother aged about three years, was at the street corner and started fuss because of the advantages enjoyed by his bNother. That spoiled the broth and alaster Fred relinquished his authority of directing traffic to his dad. And thus most wonderful epoch in the young life of Freddie.
