Show JOiSON HAS i N 6 H T WATCH SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 10. With two days of hard work ahead of him on Saturday and Sunday Jack Johnson shunned the gymnasium this afternoon and although Al Kaufman was plugging away merrllly, the champion busied himself with his automobiles, au-tomobiles, both of which were in need of slight repairs. For that reason, Johnson spent several hours In a down town garage and did not, return to his quarters until well Into the afternoon. He was out on the road as usual in the morning and took his 12 mllo comm.- in IHsurely fashion, completing complet-ing the distance in something like an hour and 35 minutes. "The best time over the course" said Trainer Tom Flanagan, "was one hour and 21 minutes. Johimon tested hlmtseli out on the day, but the fight is too far oft for him to be continually continual-ly sprinting. Tho last week wo will be cutting down the distance and speeding up.': The suit that has been commenced by George Little, in which tho promoter.-;, Mrs. .Mulrhead, who conducts the training quarters, and all others Interested are warned against paying over to Johnson any money before the 2Z per cent claim is udjuated, does not seem to bother Johnson In the least "I am not worried about that" he said. "George Llttl knows that he hasn't a chance to beat mo In that fight and unless he slows down I will do som talking and then he will be aorry about It." On Saturday and Suuday afternoon Johnson nnnuonces he will box four rounds with Al Kaufiman in addition to going several rouuds with his regular sparring partners. The latest wrinkle at tho Johnson camp Is a nlshtwatehman. Cal. Me-Vey, Me-Vey, one time famous as catcher for thy old Cincinnati rods is the man "on tho Job" and he patrols the beach from dark until the sun rises. His beaten path Is directly under the rooniH occupied by Johnson.
