 The waiter complied Then things began to happen. The woman's com lanion apparently didn't like John sons attentions to the fair charmer. He was plainly peeved, and he mani fested his peevishness by throwing several beer bottles at Johnson's knob. Jack displayed his cleverneSS Dy GCdging some of the missiles. but some of the bottles landed.
 The sport appealed to the other pa irons of the cafe, all White folks, and soon Jack was being bombarded from all sides by bottles, glasses. chairs, and other assorted glassware and fur riture. It was a, dozen or more to one, and Johnson, although he cor nered two or three of the fellows and knocked them cold, was soon himself laid low. The crowd had just com lnenced to kick and jump upon the prostrslte form of the pugi1ist and all present. were enjoying a good time, when somebody gave the alarm and the cops arrived. Johnson recovered himself enough to drag his battered body out of the place before the har- ness bulls broke in There wasn't a person left the hell hole when the officers reached the scene, but their coming had saved Johnson from a drubbing that might have killed him.
 Shortly after defeating Jack John son. Marvin Hart claimed the heavy weight title, Jeffries having retired. He defeated Jack Root in a battle for the championship, but a few months later lost to Tommy Burns, who in turn was whipped by Johnson. Hart was a kentuckian and, in his prime, a good fighting man, although as heavyweight champion he was con- sidered pretty much of d joke.

KAUff TRANSFERRED
 TO BROOKLYN CLUB
1y Cobb Of "fsdeTd League" Will
 Play In lhj East This Year.

New York, March 27.--Wbile the Federal league officials transacted quite little business at their meeting in the Biltmore hotel yesterday, con- siderable work was left to be com picted today. A good part of the session was devoted to approving the contracts whereby the Indianapolis club was transferred to Newark and the Kansas City club went back lto Missouri.
 An accounting was rendered Charles c. Madison, head of the Kansas City club, and it was said that matters had been amicably adjusted. The Kansas City folks also put up q bond for $40,0 as required by the league constitution and the court agreement, that it will fulfill its obligations Thes schedule was touched upon. but nothing definite was done. Robert B Ward and Lloyd Rickart, president of the St. Louis club and an old hand at the game, each has prepared a schedule and the good points of both will probably be combined and adopted this morning. The, season will be opened on Saturday. April 10.
 The tangle of players involving the Newark, Brooklyn and Kansas City teams took up good part of the mag mates time. It was finally decided that Benny Kauff, the "Ty Cobb Of the Federal league" was to be transferred to Brooklyn, but that Fred Falken- berg, the pitcher, was to remain with the Newark club. Ward, in con sideration of the cancellation of an In- dianapolis debt of s10,000, had taken. over both Kauff and Falkenberg, but Pat Powers raised a howl that could be heard all the way across to Newark

giant was unable to find any more challengers, but he often gave spar ring exhibitions in that part of St. Marks street between St. Marks and St. Germinian's churches-a site long favored by the mountebanks of Ven ice for displaying their tricks and sell ling their precious remedies for curing all diseases.
 Beaten by Bob Whitaker.
 At one of these exhibitions Carini attracted the attention of William Pulteney, afterward Earl of Bath, an Englishman who was then visiting Venice. He induced Carini to return with him to England. and there, with the assistance of James Figg, the first champion of Britain, the big Venetian was matched to fight Bop Whitaker, a big Yorkshireman.
 When told of the sad fate of the Leghorn pitman, Figg said:
 1T doubt it not, for the Lord knows Italians are brittle enough; but I'll wager fifty guineas he won't break Whittaker's jaw
 King George IT., his beautiful mis- tress, the Duchess of Yarmouth, and a host of notables witnessed the battle between Carini and Whitaker on a May day in 1733. Only the aristo- cracy were present as the lowest ad- mission fee was five dollars. It was a terrible conflict. Early in the bout the Venetian landed such blow that Whitaker was sent hurting through the air and landed on the-heads of the spectators. The bulldog tenacity of the Yorkshireman was such that ho immediately climbed back on the stage and resumed the battle. In the end Carini was worn out and beaten down by the Englishman and he was forced to admit that at last he had met his master
 Carini had no desire to fight an other Englishman and he soon re- turned to Venice. where he became a man of substance and no longer had to fight for a living.

TO-DAY IN PUGILISTIC ANNALS.

1S18-A great pugilistic tournament was held at Deptford, Eng, for the amusement of Prince George, then Regent of England and soon after ward King George ". and his suite, which included many nobles and army officers who had fought with Yelling ton al Waterloo. The Regent visited Deptford to give proper send-off to an Arctic exhibition, and the display of boxing was one of the features of the celebration. The bouts were held in a tent holding a thousand people, and on the platform in the center the leading lights of pugilism spared for the pleasure of the prince, who hearti- ly applauded their efforts. Tom Spring boxed with Ben Burn, Tom A)liver with Harry farmer. Aby Belasco with Dan McCarty, and "Non- pareil" Jack Randall with Jack Scroggins The bruisers boxed with gloves. but there is no doubt that the Prince would have found more enjoyment in a real set-to with the Ira w'uns."

New York March 27.-Lovers Of the good old game of golf-and who Is it who isn't in love with the splen- did sport of the links nowadays ?--- will be glad to learn that Harry Var don is coming here after all. The famous English professional player has just cabled that he will be on hand for the open championship at Baltusrol in June. The presence of Vardon in the American classic will add considerable luster to the event. It will no doubt cause even more in terest in the eevnt than in 1913, when
 Vardon and his teammate, Edward
 Ray, were just nosed out for the title
 by Francis Ouimet, the now famous Massachusetts player. When Vardon was here before there wasn't half as much interest in the sport here as

Two more players were signed yes- terday by the Jersey City club. They are Barr, an outfielder ,and Jensen, a pitcher, both from the New Haven club of the Eastern Association, which was recently thrown out of the league. They were acquired by pur- chase. and ought to strengthen the Skeeters. =,

The addi- tion of Jensen and Barr gives the Skeeters six new men from the Eastern association, and brings the roster up to twenty one.

now At that time few people believed that an American player had a chance to successfully compete against the British stars, and wnen the youthful Ouimet defeated the foreign crooks it won thousands of new admirers for the great outdoor pastime. Ouimet will undoubtedly try to capture the open championship again, and it would be a great pleasure for him to do against such players as Vardon. The presence of NardOn would inspire Ouimet defeated the foreign cracks 1t player, to greater efforts.

 BY 'tGRAVY."
ONLY TWO WHITE MEN HAVE EVER LICKED JACK JOHNSON.
BY GRAVY"

EOnly two members of the proud Caucasian race have ever whipped Jack Johnson in his long ring career d fifteen years. It will be just ten yfars tomorrow since the big smoke experienced the sting of defeat at the lands of a paleface--tnc only defeat ne has suffered in the last decade, eN- cept for losing on foul to Joe ]Gnette. Marvin Hart was the man wao took the measure of the hurley hhck on March 2S, 1905, in a San Francisco ring. It was d twenty rnnd bout and at the -nei of it the reeree raised the hand of the white mtn in token of victory.
 Johnson was not in good condition atthat time, and fought in a listless a1l don't-careish sort Of way. Even so, Hart did not win by any wide .nagin. The only other time John soi was licked by d white man was in l9h, when he was knocked out by Jot Choynsli in the third round at Galveston. Jack was then a novice wih only few bouts under his belt, wflle the California Hebrew was a vetran of about fifteen years stand
 ;ngand had fought Corbett, Fitz- simmons, Goddard, Godfrey. Tom Shskey, Kid Mccoy, Peter Maher, .'jm Jeffries and other great heavy Weihts.
 Twas not in the ring, however, that theGa1veston negro had his hardest bate with white man. In the early
 daY of his pugilistic career, long be- fore he became cham pion, the big

TO RE0RGANIZE AN
AUTO ASSOCIATION
Secretary TiIburnc Would
Act as Secretary and
Put in Some Pep.
PLANNING SOME TRIPS


Whats the trouble with the Auto
mobile association
This question has been asked q
thousand times or more and sull it
goes unanswered
Yesterday Secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, T., O. Tilburnc,
partially answered the question, He
explained that a plan is now being
arranged whereby the automobile
association win be reorgan2ed and all
persons who were members of the dis
rupted association win be accepted as
members in the new organization and
The money they paid as dues accred-
ted to thenn.
There were several hundred mem
0ers of the association last year but
improper MANAGEMENT soon resulted
in the organization attaining no par
ticular result Lack of inter-
est soon was manifest and regular
meetings which We're held for time
We're abandoned,
Under the plan presented To "a re-
porter by Secretary Tuburne. how
ever the association may be made
one of the principal factors of It's
.lind i'm Tulsa. There are more than
one thousand five hundred automo-
plles in Tulsa and at least two-thirds
of this number would come into the
association, in the opinion of Secre-
tary Tilburne.
1t has been suggested that the work
of the association be handled through
he Chamber of Commerce, Mr. TIL
hurne acting in the capacity of sec
retary. This plan was evolved by
automobile owners and is well taken
by the Chamber of Commerce Secre-
lary.
The assistants now working with
Tilburne could easily handle all the
detail work while Tilburne would be
N active charge of the more impor-
tant work
81 believe that we could handle the
work and build up a great organ
zation," said Mr. Tilburne yesterday.
1T is something we should have here
and regardless of the ultimate dccis-
ion of the leading automobile dealers
and owners, l am strongly in favor
of the association and will do every
thing | can to help it along"

l AIR SHIP FLEET
Fabric for Balloons Now
Being Made at the United
y States Rubber Company.

The first Of the proposed fleet Of
'dirigibles for the United States is
now under way and the important
order for the balloon fabric has been
awarded to the United States Rubber
company. The work of constructing
the fabric is now i'm progress at one
of their large factories. 1t requires
much skill and care in manufac-
turing inasmuch as the success of
the airship depends largely on the
strength and capacity of the en-
velope.
1t is regarded as a tribute to their
leadership i'm the rubber industry
that the United states Rubber com
pany were selected TO supply one Of
the most important necessities for
this new "dreadnaught Of the air"
The airship is bein built by the
Connecticut Aircraft company Of
New Haven Conn Capt. T. s.
Baldwin, chief constructor Of. the
Connecticut Aircraft company, super
yised the building of the first Ger
man drigiblc, and of the only di-
riCible ever owned by the United
States Rubber company were best
equipped TO make the balloon fabric
for these important navy airships.
The enormous envelope will be Of
q new and improved shape, which by
test has been proved to offer mini
mum wind resistance, and which,
filled with gas. will have a trcmen-
dous lifting capacity. This airship
when completed viii be shipped to
Florida where it will be tested.
