KARL JOHANSSON IS STRANGER TO FEAR, BUT CONGRESS IGNORES HIS HEROISM

i-v

Karl Johansson.

The sto- iea of the heroic exploits of Karl Johansson, of the TJ. S. revenue cutter service, would fill a book. Ashore and afloat he has time and again displayed his dauntless courage. He pulled a woman from under th very wheels of a locomotive while in the crowded station women dropped fainting and inen grew sick. His strong arm dragged from the rough water the captain of the ill-fated liner Republic after , that ship had aunk under her master's feet." Three years ago he rescued five half-frozen men from a wrecked Canadian steamer. Canada voted him a beautiful gold watch, suitably . inscribed, for his bravery. The American law forbade him to accept the deserved reward except by act of congress. A bin was Introduced last session. But congress was so busy with politics it forgot Johansson. The bill Is in a neglected pigeonhole, and Johansson goes humbly about his duties .With his great Seat unrecognized. "

meeteing and a good attendance is desired. II. A. Carpenter, pastor of the Christian church, spoke in the Christian church at Hammond last night.

THE WAY TO CELEBRATE We wish to announce that, in spite of the protests of the ministers, we are going to have a New Year's orgy. The table is reserved, we have the prettiest girl in town dated up, and the orgywill start in the dining room as soon as she gets the kids to sleep, being prolonged until midnight. We've promised to wash the dishes if" she'll let 'em go till morning. Hugh Fullerton in Chicago Tribune. PACKEY WILL MAKE 135 FOR RITCHIE GO Sets This Notch for Four Hours Before Battle in Answer to Nolan. Packey McFarland will do 135 four hours before the fight if Willie Ritchie will consent to do battle with him. This Packey, indignant over a dispatch from Los Angeles yesterday, announced last night. "If Packey McFarland will declare himself on the weight question and stop talking in riddles as far as his actual poundage is concerned Willie Ritchie will give him a fight." . says Billy Nolan, according to the dispatch. Nolan further said that he will not hold the stockyards idol down to ring side weignt. and will let him in at a fair figure provided it Is not unreason able. A substantial forfeit will be de manded, the story goes on to tell. All of this makes Packey extremely wroth. Ritchie is the fourth champion i to arise while McFarland was a contender for the crown. Joe" Oans. Bat- I tllng Nelson and Ad Wolgast have all been matched with the sturdy Irishman, but something always prevented the championship go. Packey was matched with the : old : aster when It was almost assured that the next battle would be his last etiamnlonshln fie-ht hut tho nlana Tiln4ait i , r u . "' f vrivuvuf Nelson got the fight and the cham--Packey asserts he taught Ritchie most of the boxing that brought hira the lightweight title and believes that he is entitled to a mach. "I am offering a reasonable weight." says McFarland. "Let Nolan accept the 135 four hours before the fight If he isn't bluffing." If the two ever get together it will be a battle of master and pupil. Ritchie got his first real fights while under the direction of Emll Thlry, manager . of McFarland. As a substitute for Packer in Philadelphia, when the star rlngman was indisposed he made a creditable showing against Toung Erne. and. his climb has been rapid since. Last spring he was abandoned by Thlry, because handling two men of practically the same weight was inconvenient, and he was without a manager until Billy Nolan annexed him some months later on the coast. Ritchie will arrive in Chicago in a few weeks. BERGER III FIGHT FOR SOX SHORTSTOP JOB Sensation of Coast League Signs and Will Try to Cop Weaver's Job. We came back from the well-known vacation to find that the chief subject of discussion in the big city was shortstops. Some dope had been spread about to the effect that Joe Berger, Sox recruit last year and next, was holding out. - f "Nothing to it." quoth James J. Cal lahan, who ought to know. "We Just sent Berger his contract last week, and we Just got it back, signed. He never said a word that would lead one to believe he was dissatisfied. In fact, he never said a word at all until he returned his signed contract. There was a letter accompanying it, and the let ter led us to believe that he was con-? tent, and that he expected to 'make a better chowing than he did last spring." Mr. Berger came to Waco last March several pounds overweight, and Joe is a large person. He couldn't show his true form because he was Cat. Furthermore, he knew it. He Juet eased along, doing the best he could, and, at that, he made a favorable impression.

Joe lost out and was sent to the Pa- Wednesday's ' battle cine Coast league. He made good out' break the tie. -there. In fact, he was spoken of as the- . , . . -

best shortstop the league had seen' for yearg. The Sox had a string on him. Mant ager Callahan sent him a contract, and l he signed It forthwith and simultaneously. There was no balking "because of the probationary rule. As soon as Joe had time he mailed the signed doci ument back to Chicago, and stated, in black and white, that he would be on the jijb in the spring, in condition to compete on even terms ' with Weaver and other candidates for a Sox short- ; stopping job. WICKS LEADS 111 DELHOIITE GOLF Salt Lake Player Wins the Medal and Sweepstakes on Coast Links. Del Monte, Cal., Dec. 31. Those who could not arrive in time to qualify in the golf tourney yesterday went at it today. Aside from this feature and the sweepstakes, the interest of the day was centered in a four-ball match between the well-known amateurs, Vincent Whitney and Robin Hayne, paired with the two Smiths, "Mack" and George. While the golf was not of the highest order from a medal standpoint, from the match or real test of golf aspect the contest was one of the most interesting and closely contested that has taken place on the Del Monte links. They were all even at the eighteenth, and as it was medal play, the match did not count. E. "B. Wicks of Salt Lake, who pulled down the big prize yesterday, came through again and captured the ball sweepstake, .making an 85. In the pairing for tomorrow "Bobbie" Hayne has been allotted to take care of the Salt Laker, conceding him eight strokes. The match between Mrs. J. Parker Whitney and Mrs. R. Y. Hayne, in the women's tournament, will likely be a contest worth following. Mrs. Hayne concedes her opponent three strokes. CHRISTY AND DILLON READY Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 31.
