MOTES
FIGHT
Carl Anderson will not be in the ring
tonight to fight Tony Caponl. The hard luck that has pursued Anderson
in his pugilistic career is still follow
ing him, and last night in boxing Frank
Childs, a large negro who was training him, he overreached in attempting
blow at Child's face and injured his
hand so badly that it Is out of the question for him to fight.
No one feels worse over the accident
than Anderson. He has been training
for this fight for several weeks and
all of the time and expense have been
for naught on account of the accident
which happened at the last minute.
The bones in the hand were not brok
en, but the nana was injurea so mat it would be out of the question for him to attempt t fight. It is doubtful if he could get the hand into a glove on account of its swollen condition.
While the management of the Co
lumbia Athletic club regrets very much that Anderson will not be able to appear, they were very fortunate in be
ing able to secure a man, at the last
minute, who- will put-up as good a fight as Anderson. The man who has been selected is Joe Gorman. ' That Gorman is a good man is shown by the fact that he lasted seven rounds with Billy Papke, the Spring Valley whirlwind, who has a peculiar habit of knocking out his men in a round or two. He won a draw with Toung Ma-
honey, got the decision over Billy
Rhodes and went ten rounds to no de
cision with Terry Martin, according to
Burns and other Hammond fight fol lowers.
They say Gorman mixes freely, and this will probably make the fight even more interesting than It was expected
to be. But one of the chief drawing
cards this evening will be the mill be tween Eddie Sterns, the "fighting con
ductor of Laporte," and Bobbie Burns.
The Hammond fans know what Burns
can do and they also know what Sterns
can do, and so this fight is sure to be interesting. There will be other good
preliminaries which will make the con tests tonight well worth seeing.
"I'LL GIVE JEFF $2,000 TO SAY
yes; wo to say iv-johiso
Jack Johnson, champion pugilist of
the world, yesterday made the startling
announcement that he would give Jim Jeffries $2,000 if he would say "yes" In answer to a question, "Will you fight me?" and $1,000 if he would say "no."
And Jeffries will get the chance to
earn this money, either way, in a very
short time, for Johnson will leave Chicago for New York Sunday afternoon
and will arrive In Gotham Monday, pre
pared to make good his statement. Jef
fries is In Boston this week and will be there next week. Johnson has an engagement at the Hub City in a short time and the men are sure to get into
the same town before many weeks have
gone by.
When they do it is Johnson's Inten
tion to call on JeffrieB personally if the
former champion will agree to see him.
If Jeff refuses to see him Johnson will
send his business manager, Abe Arends, to see the big fellow. Whoever makes the call will offer money for just one little word.
Johnson is in no hurry to fight Jef
fries, but he wants to know as soon as
possible whether or not Jeff ever in
tends to meet him. That is the reason
of his offer. He will fight Jeff any
time, but would prefer to wait until
after he has made all the money he can out of theatrical engagements and
exhibitions. But he wants to form his
plans with knowledge as to Jeff's In
tentions. Figure AnnYver Worth Money.
Johnson figures it easily worth $2,000
to know that Jeffries will fight and
worth all of $1,000 to know that he
will not. Whether Jeffries will accept
Johnson's offer remains to be seen.
Johnson will wind up a week at a
local theater Saturday night. The next
day, accompanied by Mrs. Johnson, Abe Arends, George Little, "Kid" Cutler, his
sparring partner, and Mrs. Cutler, he
will board a fast train for Gotham.
Johnson has engagements In New
Tork, Brooklyn and Boston theaters and
will be In the east for some time. He
feels certain that he will see Jeffrle3 before he returns to Chicago. He is due back here late in the spring for
more stage work.
"I want to know just what Jeffries
is going to do," said Johnson yesterday. "It's worth money to me to find
out. You can say for me right now that J will not fight Sam Langford in
London In May. The reason I won't fight Is that I won't go all the way to London to fight for $5,000. Repudiate!! London Engagement. "If Sam Fltzpatrlck, my former manager, agreed to have me fight Langford in London, I now repudiate that agreement. I repudiate all agreements that Fltzpatrlck has made for me. I am my own manager and will arrange my own battles in the future. "I can make more money not fighting at all than I can by boxing before the National Sporting club in London. I am entitled to rage In what coin I can, and certajlnly I am going to do so. The only man who can drag me into the ring on short notice Is James J. Jeffries. I'll cancel anything I have on to meet him, but not to meet any other man." WIllus Britt, manager of Stanley Ketchel, realizing that Johnson had no Intention of meeting the middle-weight champion, left for New York yesterday afternoon. Britt has his hands full getting Ketchel ready for his ten-round fight with Jack O'Brien Friday night.

GOHHY TO SEE FIELDER JONES
San Francisco. Cal.. March 24.
Thursday morning will probably see Fielder A. Jones, for five years manager of the White Sox, confronting the greatest problem of his life. President Comiskey and his party left last night for Portland and the Old Roman is determined to land his lieutenant for another season. He will have about seven hours Thursday In which to argue with Jones before the train for Seattle leaves, and he believes he will be successful. "I have received no further message or letter from Jones," said the Sox manager before leaving, "nor have I answered his letter announcing his retirement, so no offer of $20,000 has been made. But I believe I can make Fielder see that leaving the club in the lurch at the time the training trip begins is not fair to anyone. I still believe he will be back in center field. It's too
late for him to quit.
PACKY GOT VICTORY
New York, March 24. Packey McFarland, Chicago's clever boxer, outpointed Leach Cross for the second time in their battle here last night. The New Yorker made a better showing this time than he did in the first meeting of the boys, but Packey proved the better man all through the mill. In almost every round the stock yards fighter had the honors. He outboxed and outhlt Cross. McFarland won as far as a man might toss a stone, and once more It has been demonstrated that a knockout punch wins a man no money unless it lands somewhere. Leach was full of knockout punches last night. He filled the air' with them. He shaved Packey's chin with them and he rammed them into gloves and elbows and shoulders, but not one of them got home on the chin, which is the point from which they begin to pay oft.
SUTTOfl IS DEFEATED
New York, March 24. In a see-saw
game between George Sutton and Ora
Morningstar in the third match of the international 18.2 billiard tourney at
Madison Square Garden last night
Morningstar won by the score of 500 to 490.
it was a slow and tedious game,
something on the order of the after
noon contest, in which Cutler defeated Kline by a one-sided score. However, last night's battle was close and as
Morningstar In the middle of the game
had assumed a respectable lead, only
to be passed, the spectators were kept
interested.
Toward the close it looked as If Sutton had the game sewed up, when in
the thirteenth inning he passed Morn
ingstar by making a fine run- of 44 to
the latter's one. This put the Cham
pion in the lead, 451 to 444. In the
' thirty-second inning Sutton cut loose
, with 31, which made him 490, counting
. the 8 in the thirty-first In the thirtyj third Morningstar got the ivories to
i work and clicked off a total of 43,
which passed Sutton's total. A. G. Cutler of Boston and Harry P.
Cllne of Philadelphia played the second game of the tournament In the after
noon. It was a tedious contest, lasting three hours and twenty minutes, Cutler winning by the score of 500 to 294. The Boston man took a commanding lead
early In the game and in his sixth In
I ning he made a run of 93, the highest

Rowing Candidates. New Haven, Conn., March 24. The
Yale rowing squad was yesterday given its biggest cut down of the season and Bob Taft, eon of the president, was dropped. He has made a plucky try
for a seat In either the big varsity eight or on the four, but he Is totally Inexperienced In rowing, though Coach Kennedy thinks that the young man has made remarkable Improvement.

Harlemite Claims He Was Robbed of Decision. Boston, Mass., March 24. Owen Moran was awarded the decision over Tommy Murphy at the end of their twelveround bout at the Armory A. A. last night. There was considerable dissatisfaction with the decision as rendered by Referee Mafflt Flaherty. Murphy made a speech after the bout, claiming that he did not receive the fair treatment he had expected and was robbed, the worst he should have received being a draw. Moran easily finished the stronger of the pair, carrying the fight, while Murphy refused to mix, trying to catch Moran on his lead. Murphy was showing signs of weakening, which was the chief cause of his losing the decision.
