Naughton. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. JL Here is a cablegram which came to me a feVv days ago: "Sydney, August 28.—Naughton. Examiner, San Francisco: Kelly, Spalding's manager, sailed steam er Venture today, representing final adjustment Jack Johnson and other boxers’ contracts. (Signed) "HUGH D. M'INTOSH." Here, then, is one promoter who does not believe that Johnson will remain retired if a lucrative offer is put before hiFn. What is- more, the Australian fight handler must feel that he, of all men, can name terms and conditions that will induce the champion to affix his name to arti cles of agreement. Otherwise, Mac would scarcely go to the expense of sending a special envoy from far Australia. Mclntosh surely possesses the temperament sanguine. This man Johnson has fooled him many times, but that does not seem to act as a deterrent. In the present case, it looks as though there has been an exchange of cablegrams and that something sent from this end has given Mc- Intosh fresh courage. Personally, I believe that in due time it will be announced that Johnson has decided to go to Aus tralia, and that Al Tierney, the Chi cago sporting man. who acts as Johnson's adviser in business mat ters, has been made the custodian of a big wad of confidence money. "Wowser Element” Quieted. From the way Mclntosh is keep ing after Johnson, it is evident that the “wowser element." as the oppo nents of boxing are called in Aus tralia. must have taken a back seat. Following upon England's refusal to permit the Johnson-Bombardier Wells bout, there was agitation against the introduction of Johnson into Australia. Quite a controver sy sprang up over the boxing sit uation generally, and it is gathered from recently arrived Australian papers that the wowsers received a setback. Many influential citizens of Aus tralia. including several members of parliament, went to bat also for the Queensberry pastime, and the opponents of sport ceased opposing for the time being. If Johnson accepts Mclntosh’s terms, it goes without saying that the champion will be required to figure in matches with McVey and Langford. These are the only men suitable as opponents for Johnson ftp) iul ♦wThf YOU SAVE MONEY by smoking John Ruskin Cigars. The ■ John Ruskin is a 10c. cigar, but sold at sc.

Johnson would act as a bell wether." Joe Jean nette is averse to going to Aus tralia and leaving Johnson in this part of the world, but if Johnson took steamer, Jeannette would be sure to follow. It may be that Jim Flynn, too. would have a touch of Australian fever and that Bombar dier Wells and Al Palzer would join the grand congress of black and white heavyweights at Sydney. Seeking Talent Everywhere. This fellow Mclntosh is surely going in for fight promotion in a big way. He has had his Rush cutters Bay stadium roofed over so that it is no longer a fine weather pavilion, but an all-the year-round affair. He is reaching out in all directions for talent, it being doubtful 1 if there is a. ring man worth his salt either in this country or England who has not had a proposal of some kind from Mclntosh. On the face of it, it is evident that Mclntosh is figuring on pull ing off two world’s championships within the next year. His course is plain as far as Johnson is con- • BADEN CAPTURES SIO,OOO EMPIRE STATE CLASSIC SYRACUSE. N. Y., Sept. 11.—Baden, piloted by A. S. Rodney, of Jersey City. N. J., won the SIO,OOO Empire State stake for 2; 14 trotters, the feature event of yesterday’s grand circuit pro gram at the New York state fair, in straight heats, Forced to her limit by a classy field of rivals, Baden trotted the three fastest heats of the year, in the second heat being forced by Es ther \V. to clip iter record to 2:05 3-4. In every heat Baden led from gong to gong, though at times only by a head. In the final test, horse and driver were tendered a noisy ovation by the thousands of spectators. LEACH CROSS LOSES ON FOUL TO Jt.MMY DUFFY NEW YORK, Sept. 11—A bright ring future is predicted for Jimmy Duffy, the Buffalo lightweight who won from Leach Cross, the “Bowery Den tist,” last night at the St. Nicholas Athletic club on a foul. Cross persisted in using the Kidney punch, a blow which has been barred by the state boxing commission, and in the fourth round Referee Din Tone stopped the contest, thus technically gi.ing Duffy a victory. cemed, and it looks as though he is holding Hughie Mehegan in that country in the expectation that he will be able to lure Wolgast or Wolgast's successor to Kangaroo Land. It was given out some months ago that Mehegan. who is the un disputed lightweight champion of the Antipodes, was coming to this country to seek a match witli Wol gast. But he djd not. come. In stead, Grov. r Ilnyts left for Aus tralia a few days ago and will be sent against Mehegan during the Christmas holidays out there. With his newly roofed stadium to keep going - "the largest boxing pavilion in the world.” Mclntosh proudly calls it —the Sydney matchmaker is not likely to let a fine card like Mehegan get away from him. If Mehegan wins from Grover Hayes in anything like clean-cut style, an attempt to lure Wolgast to Australia will surely be made. Johnnie Kilbane is another American fighter Mclntosh would like to get his hands on. In fact, the only men Mclntosh is not both ering about are the middleweights. Tile reason is that he recognizes probably there is neither head nor tail to the middleweight division. MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT CAUSED BY PARALYSIS NEWARK. N. J.. Sept. 11.—That the motorcycle accident on the Vailsburg motordrome Sunday, which has thus far resulted in seven deaths, was due to a sudden attack of paralysis suf fered by Rider Hasha is the opinion of Dr. Thomas Pascall. He declares that Hash probably became suddenly blind and helpless from a paralytic condition resulting from sudden hemorrhage of the brain. The physician had been treating Hasha for an ailment which at times had seriously affected his eyes. This was due to pressure of blood upon his brain during his speed demonstrations.
