HO BOUT FOR KETCHEL VVITHTHEGHAMPIOH Johnson Refuses to Meet Him as He Failed to Post Forfeit. BRITT'S TRIP IS FRUITLESS Journey to New York Proves of No Avail, as Mcintosh Goes East. of Jack Johnson will not box Stanley Ketchel. This was the positive information received by "Willus Britt, man ager of Ketchel, when he reached Chicago yesterday after a Journey from New York to arrange matters. Just as Britt reached here Promoter Mcintosh departed in the opposite direction, heading for New York, where he hopes to get the signature of Jeffries for a bout with Johnson. Mcintosh left at 2:45 p. m. over the Pennsylvania limited, so Britt was not able to make any arrangements with him relative to sending Ketchel to Australia next August. Johnson and Britt met at the Trocadero theater last night and a lengthy argument took place, although most of It was done by Britt. Johnson was Imperturbable. "Ketchel didn't cover my forfeit as he promised," he said. "I want some guarantee in my battles. But I tell you what I'll do. I'll put up the $5,000 as a side bet that Sam Langford can whip him If you do the same." Brltt argued in vain. Johnson has more than hinted that he thinks Ketch el is trying to use him for advertising purposes and says that if he had been acting in good faith he would have complied with his original promise. "I am not trying to arrange any Ketchel and Langford bout," he said. I simply say I am willing to back Sam if they are matched." Johnson and a party of friends at tended the moving pictures at the Au ditorium last evening, but departed early. He was applauded by the crowd when he appeared in a box. Bat tling Kelson was also on hand. EST IS BE Hi Cure Wins Opening Match in National Cue Tourney From Chicagoan. New York, March 23.

At the end of the third inning the score stood 14 to 10 in De marest's favor.
