Show t 1 Carter work out It was the last boxing box-ing stunt he would do before the battle, bat-tle, and scribes from soveral Frisco papers took tho trip. Gardner had been winning right along out therci and wo hadn't seen Carter, so this was simply wising the gang up, and they were willing to bo wised. The kid worked the pulleys, and then called for Johnson and the gloves. Of course, ho wanted to make a showing, ami started to pummel his pparrlng -partner, as most lighters do. Tho best the sparring partner ever gets Is "thank you." He tore atter Johnson with the big gloves and Jolin-pon Jolin-pon took what was coming tor a minute min-ute or two.and then hooked the kid on the stomach rather hard. It was very gaily of the sparring partner, indeed, to hit, the boss hard, und Carter tore oil an oath and started start-ed to deau up tho gym with his dusky antagonist He was given the surprise ot his life, and we almost fell on! our chairs, ire change svas so great. ' instead ot belling Johnson, It was Carter hlmseir who was beaten, and only lor the Intervention In-tervention of Billy Jordan, the tight promoter, there might not have been anything left of Carter but a few black eves, He was beaten at every turn, un-'ible un-'ible to land on the clever colored follow, fol-low, and the more he missed the madder mad-der he got. They stopped the right and tiled to make peace, but Johnson lost his job. Next day every sporting WTltcr in Frisco told of the marvelous colored fellow they had seen trim Carter, Car-ter, and he was given such a boost that after Carter was beaten by Gardner Gard-ner he was yiven the next chance. Three days before the light John-t-iin was taken sick, and only the clay of the fight came out of the hospital. He went into the ring and made uard-ner uard-ner look like an old woman. After that the big fellows out there r.'ould Iwne nothing to do with him. only the foolhardy, such as Jack Jel-fries Jel-fries (Jim's brother), and Joe Kennedy, Ken-nedy, would give him a chance. Both we re carried out of the ring. Jonn--cn worked his way l'Jast then, trimming trim-ming all that he met. until there was jio one to meet except side-stepping Trmmy Burns. After two years' cnas-ii-g he finally landed the Canadian M.d then well, what's the use ot rubbing rub-bing it in? Most of us knew what was going to happen. " 't did. SANTA ANITA RESULTS.

How Johnson First Attracted Attention (By Tad.) New Yorr Jan. 22. Kid Carter s temper gave Jack Johnson his chance to become a world s champion. It does seem a bit strange mat a little thing like that would give a man bucIx a chance, but that's as true as anything that was said, and old liiiiy Jordan, the Frisco announcer, was the man who helped Johnbon ho his start. It all came about when Kid Carter. 1he former Brooklyn middle weight" wat trnlnlng at Croll's garden, in Ala' M i.i mi. i ,, i ,.,, ,, meda, for his light with George Gardner, Gard-ner, which was to take place In Kris-co.
