"Jack" Johnson, pugilist and speed maniac yesterday was arraigned In the Harrison street police court and fined for runnig his automobile at a rate of thirty miles an hour down Michigan avenue where there was imminent danger that he might kill some one on the busy thoroughfare. Johnson simply smiled his "gold tooth" smile when arraigned in Municipal Judge Gemmill's court. That Johnson Is in the habit of using the courts to advertise himself was made plain and that he seemed to care little for the punishment that was about to be meted out to him was also apparent. Considering the fact that Johnson has been arrested in different cities of the United States and even in Canada for speeding he escaped luckily yesterday. He was fined $15 and costs by Judge Gemmill, the whole thing amounting to $25. Judge Gemmill said after the case was over that ho had fined Johnson heavier than he did most offenders of

scorch, but he was never brought into my court before," said Judge Gemmill. I generally fine first offenders $5 and costs, but I made it three times as severe in Johnson's case." The police declare that the court would not have erred on the wrong side of Justice and mercy if Johnson had been given a $200 tine. Johnson lias participated in one automobile accident which nearly cost one woman her life and which resulted In marring her looks for life. Johnson, it Is claimed, is automobile crazy and his big racing car is sent along at a terrific clip when the colored lighter is at the wheel. When he was brought into court yesterday he had the ingenious excuse that he was "trying to catch a train bound for the Pacific coast. "I thought that I was going about twenty miles an hour and thought that the law allowed fifteen miles," said Johnson. "I was going to the Northwestern station to take a train for Frisco and was afraid that I would

If the weather man will be so kind as to let the sun come out tomorrow and shut off the rain, the St. Joseph baseball club of Hammond will play in St. John, their opponents being tho Kennedys, formerly the Kennedy and Grasks, of South Chicago. The Kennedy baseball nine is one of the strongest and fastest teams in this part of the country. The team has not lost a game this year and will probably give the St. John people an exhibition of one of the best games that have been played at Spring Hill grove this season. The St. Joseph club Is also playing fine ball at present and expect to cop the game from the crack South Chicago team. The baseball game will be tho feature of the afternoon, and tho teams are expected to put up a good battle. Anyone wishing to go to St. John with the team Sunday can take the 10:14 on the Nickel Plate to Gibson, where they will get the picnic train for St. John.

BURKE KNOCKED OUT BY LEWIS 111 SIXTH New York, Aug. 14. In one of the most vicious fight that New York has seen in several years, Willie Lewis snuffed the light of Sailor Burke last night at tho Faixmount Athletic club. Lewis scored a knockout over his rival in tho sixth round. When the fight ended Burke was helpless on the flat of his back. Up to the time Lewis connected for the knockout the sailor had the shade of the advantage. He concluded to end it in a hurry in the sixth and rushed Lewis, planting a left to wind. But in the onslaught Burke left an opening to his jaw and Lewis quickly availed himself o ftho opportunity. He slipped a hard right over Burke's jaw as a flash followed with a left to tho same spot. Burke sank dazed to his knees. He tried to respond and finally did manage to stagger to his feet at the county of six, but without being hit.

and fatal count continued.

JOHNSON DEMOS BIG FORFEIT

Jack Johnson declared last night that he would demand a forfeit of'20,000 the day that tho final articles are signed by himself and Jeffries. "You see, I don't believe that Jeff means to flgfht," said the champion. "He Is simply looking for more advertising at my expense, and if he wants the publicity he 13 going to have to pay tho price. "It would bo the simplest thing In the world for Jeff to sign up to fight me within six months, post a forfeit of $j,000 and then go on the stage and make so many times that amount that ho could afford to sidestep me and let me claim the forfeit. He knows he never can get Into shape to fight me,

and I am going to call his bluff the

day we get together to close tho match,

If he wants to fight he will not be put

to any great hardship by my asking a $20,000 forfeit, and if simply looking for publicity he will hesitate a long time before he puts up $20, 000." JohDMiu In Ilht Trail. Johnson has struck the proper keynote at last and If he will stick to the above statement he will put himself square with the fighting public and will do a whole lot toward clearing up the haze that now surrounds the JeffJohnson affair. It is only fair to the public that when the final articles are signed a forfeit of sufficient size should be posted to guarantee the appearance of the men. Not only should a large sum of money be put up. but it should be posted with a reputable stakeholder who would see that there was no sidestepping without the paying of the penalty. Johnson's demand for a $20,000 forfeit should fill the bill that is. if he sticks to the damnd. as is his right as champion.

Big Fellow Pitches an Excellent Game and Sox Clinch Fifth Place.

New York, Aug. 14. The White Sox put a strong nail In fifth place yesterday when they beat the Yankees for the second time in the series by 4 to 3. The locals cannot displace them in the race on this trip, and a tie is the worst that the Chicago men can get out of their battle here today. Ed Walsh celebrated his return to form by pitching an excellent game after the first round. The big fellow got away bad in the opening round and was touched up for four of the seven hits made off him in that inning. Warhop was the New York pitcher. He was hit hard and often by the Sox, a total of ten hits being made off him. Isbell made the longest hit of the day, getting a threebagger Into center In the fourth, which turned into a home run with tho aid of a wild throw by Demmltt.

2:08 pace In which the 4-year-old Tony Swift was favorite and displayed a great -flash of Fpeed. The horse took three straight heats, although In the second and third he was hard pressed by Governor Searles. In the second heat, he tried to beat the 4-year-old pacing record of 2:04. and made the mile in 2:05i. The 2:09 class trot was won in straight heats by Brace Girdle In easy fashion. In tho trial of Sonoma Girl to beat tho track trotting record she made the mile in 2:04 by quarters as follows: 1:31, 1:024. 1:33 -4. 2:u3. She was driven by MoMahon, was without a wind shield and was accompanied by a runner. McMahon claimed he made the mile three-quarters of a second faster, and many watches caught It at 2:03'i.

SAYS JEFFRIES WILL NOT BOX

Johnson Continues Gabfest in Letter to Brother.

Galveston, Aug. 14. "Jim Jeffries does r.ot intend to meet me." This was one of the sentences in a letter sent by Jack Johnson to his brother here, and the colored boxer elaborated on the theme. He said that not matter what conditions he made Jeffries would never agree to oppose him. Johnson made one statement which comes as something of a surprise. This was to the effect that he had plenty of money. He said that all the reports about his squandering money were a mistake except so far as they related to using automobiles. He admitted that he had bought one machine and that he had epent a considerable sum In renting autos in various cities where he made flying trips. He said nothing about the numerous occasions on which he has been fined for exceeding the speed limits.
