LUCKY FOR THIS

WASN'T SAME ELEPHANT

San Diego, Cal, June S.-Having
heard of the length and tenacity of
an elephont's memory, and remem-
bering a trick he had played on one
years before, Private Don o. Davis,
of the United States marine corps,
begged to be excused from participat-
ing in the elephant maneuvers recent
yield by marine on the exposition
grounds in this city.
"I remember, when a kid, of slip
ping fine large 'chaw' of plug to-
bacco into the throttle of a pachy-
derm that strangely resembles that
big fellow over there" he told his
commanding officer.
But marines never flinch-no mat
ter what the danger--and Davis was
ordered to take his place eby the side
of the elephant he feared.
A d then-nothing fiat all hap-naE
And then-nothing at all happened
The elephont by Davis side wa:
not related-not even by marriage
to the elephant he had wronged in his
youth.

COT TO FIGHT IN
THE ARGENTINE
BOXERS GOING ON SOUTHERN
TRIP FIND AUTHORITIES
STRICT-NOTES OF ATHLET-
les.

New York, June 8.-The boxers
who will make the trip from this
country to Argentina to compete in
series of bouts in Buenos Ayres will
finds conditions governing contests
there considerably from those exist
ing in North American rings. Az
cording to the regulations, which are
to be made part of the contracts, the
pugilists will not receive the sums
stipulated in their arrangements UNI
less the spectators are thoroughly
satisfied with the contests.
While boxing is still far from an
established institution in Buenos
Ayres, the city authorities have GER
tain ideas regarding the conduct of
the sport, one of which is that the
pugilists must give the spectators
their moneys worth. AS a result the
principals are never paid until those
who purchased tickets have signified
that they are satisfied with the ex-
hibition. This has been made clear
to the boxers who will shortly start
for Argentina, by the explanation that
if the spectators are not pleased with
the efforts of the pugilists their
money is returned to them before
they leave their seats and the con-
testants get nothing.
In the party will be four negro
heavyweights, Sam McVey, Joe
jeanette, Sam Langford and Harry
Wills, and the understanding is that
they will box a round-robin tourna
ment for the Legro championship of
the world under these conditions. The
men will be drawn by lot for the bat
ties, the two winners to meet in a
semi-final and the losers to meet for
third place. All the bouts will be
twenty round contests with referees
decision if they go the limit. These
bouts will be fought during July and
August and before the completion of
the tournament it is expected that ar
rangements will have been made with
Jack Johnson to box the winner for
the negro title. Johnson is at pres
ent in Spain where he has figured
stood that he has tentatively accepted
the proposition to appear in the Bue-
nos Ayres ring.
The promoter of the bouts in Ar
gentina is an amateur boxer of consid.
cradle repute and man of wealth. He
has spent several months touring the
various countries in search of pugihs
tic talent for the coming ring tourna
ment. During his recent trip t,
France he offered Georgefs Carpen
tier, the French champion, something
like 100000 for two bouts in Buenoi
Ayres, with further percentage o.
the gate for the French Red Gross
fund. He secured the official consen
of the French army authorities fo
a three-months furlough for Carpen
tier, but when he made his offer t
