The chances are that Mr. Mcintosh will arrange a big match for Johnson in London and also in Paha, for the Frenchmen are very anzioua to see Jack in action There are three jcolored men who would be big drawing cards with Johnsou-in Londoa .aiid l'aris, namely, Sam Langford, Joe Jeanett and Ram McVev. Thev need not look for "white hopes" over there; they can use the four colored men and then let the winner meet Bombadier Wells and the best white men. Ad Wolgiist, world 'a light weight champion, doea not seem to be worried a great deal about his fight with Owen Moran in Kan Francisco July 4 and ia ruling a 10 to 7 favorite on the coast now. Home cannot figure why Moran is not an even money bet. Thia ia easv. Moran beat Nelsoa in les time than Wolgast did, but he beat Nelson long after Wolgast fought th battler and Nelson was not the same lighter after Wolgast irav him a lacing. Therefore, that dope ia hardly a good thing to use in figuring the comparative compara-tive ability of Wolgast and Moran. , Wolgast is champion. He has been improving im-proving every day aince h fought Nelson Nel-son and hat shown in hia recent fights that he baa a punch and can take more punishment than any light weight aince Nelson was' in his prime. - Moran ia a great two-handed fighter, having a right that will knock out any light weight -if it lands. However, be was beaten easily in bit abort bout with MrFarland and has been outpointed by other good men in ten-rpuna contests. Moran outpointed Wolgaat a long time ago in a short bout, bv that does not mean that he can do it now. Wolgast ia a tough, rugged fighter and the boy who beats him will be the best light weight in 'the world without a shadow of doubt. Thia is going to be the best fight that -has been staged since Wolgast Wol-gast heat Nelson because it ia going to o some distance. Men who paid large sums to cross the continent to aee John, son and Jeffries fight, and saw the poorest poor-est battle in- years, would consider a bout like thia a wonderful treat.

There i a flavor of the last and best chortle in the recent performance of the athletics, duplicating Detroit 'a remarkable re-markable run at the start of the season, sea-son, when the tigers won twenty out of twenty-three games. Mique Donlin made his little splash into the game without causing any boats to npset. Bent in to run for Chief Mevers at St. Louit the other dav, the ek aetor struck a stage attitude atti-tude and was picked off the bag neatly neat-ly by Bresnahan, who know naught of footlights. Ever aince the Langford Caponi fight at Winnipeg I have wondered just how thing were arranged ao that the Caponi could hold Langford to a draw. A letter received yesterday from a friend at Winnipeg brings the real "dope." Langford had hia choice between be-tween "not hurting Caponi" or Buffering Buffer-ing arrest. Before the bout the police are aaid to have instructed Langford that he must be gentle with the Italian Ital-ian and that a knockout or aevere punishment pun-ishment meant the lockup for him. Naturally Nat-urally the colored boxer had to go easy and only at times did h forget himself and let loose. In the seventh round he eut loose with on and thinga looked badly for Caponi and the police jumped into the ring and stopped ' the bout. Langford apologized and the bout waa permitted to go on the full ten rounds. Th aerap ia said to have been a joke from start to finish. Paddy Pevsner and Fred Christian- . son, two wrestlers who have been our.'' ing a rich harvest around Boise and Pavette, Ida., pulled off another of "those things" on the dear ptihlie last week. Just who was to have laid down is hard to figure out, but something went wrong. Devanry fell down, on hia knees and claimed that ke had been injured. Christianeon took the money while the poor "bugs" held their nostrils. nos-trils. The following ia a copy of a letter let-ter alleged to have been written to Devaney by Chriatianaon just prior tc the match and which will give local -fans an idea of about waa going on: "Pat Devaney, Dear Friend: Well, everything is arrnged for the match here' the fifteenth. Now Pat, I don 't hardly know how to work thit match. There ia a few that thinka you are going go-ing to beat me thia time and they will bet quite a little on it. Now. no matter mat-ter how this match cornea out they want as to wrestle here the fourth, ao I thought like thia, me win thia match and take the money that 'a put up oa you. and then there will be a better chance the fourth. (You know.) "Let me hear from you aa soon at you get thi. -You haven t answered mr last letter yet, so I don't know if you got it or not. Write soon old Pat. "Your friend, "FRKD CHRIcJTI ANON". " Devanev will be remembered, especially espe-cially in Ogden, as the heavy weight who came to the junction city in 190(1 with a guarantee to throw Mike Yokel four times in an hour. In eleven minutes min-utes Mike had the big fellow's shoulders shoul-ders on the mat and the match was over. The world's cycling championships, both sprint and motor pared, were held at Rome, Italy, last Monday afternoon. Jimmy Moran, the American paee follower, fol-lower, waa a contender in the latter and he finished third. Parent, the Frenchman, won, while Darragon, another an-other Frenchman, waa second. The distance dis-tance was 100 kilometers, (sixty two and one-half miles). Thorwald Klle-gaard, Klle-gaard, the Dane, raptnred the sprint Conors, defeating Pouchios, a Frenchman, French-man, who was second, and Haurlier, another an-other Frenchman, who waa third. This is Kllegaard's sixth world' title, which ia more than haa ever been won by any other evclist. The distance was two kilometers (a mile and a quarter). Three men only were in the final heat. Ellegaard, who' it known ss "the grand old man of European cycling," has been in America aeveral times. In a week of match races with Frank Kramer Kra-mer at Madison Kquaro Garden the American champion defeated him every ev-ery night. Bis 'victory, therefore, somes as somewhat of a surprise on this aide of the water. I am in receipt of a letter from Clande Freed of thia city, who doea a little fishing and hunting himself, occasionally. oc-casionally.
