JACK JOHNSON FAILED 10
BEAT THE SHIFTY O'BRIEN
(By United Press.)
PHILADELPHIA. PA.. May W? ;
Jack Johnson, the negro heavy weight
ihainpiou. failed to score a victory
over Philadelphia Jack O" Brier. after
Mx fast and furious rounds of fighting
!>? fore th.- National Athletii club last
night. If a decision could have been
given under the law. it would have
b.- >n a draw.
O'Brien showed his old time form
and the negro was unable to connect
on the elusive Irishman with solid
p inches. O'Brien's lightning left Jabs
frequently found the big negro's face
:? s*d he outpointed Johnson by a wide
margin. although t lit- white man's
blows carried little stinir.
Three times in clinches Johnson
i"s<"l h's fill sirei;::'..i to roil:;!: ? '
Hrien off liis feet. but no clean knock
?o\vn was scored by eith<r man. Fast
foot work saved O'ISri -n mere than
once ami through! tlx- fiult l he out
M'nerallrd Johnson.
Johnson enteral the rint: weighing
:ii)ont 1!?2 pounds. O'Rrien weighs!
171.
Fight experts here think that
Ketcheil has a chance to l?at John
son, as he scored a decisive victory
over O'Brien recently.

| Delegate James Wickersham of Alas
ka called upon President Taft thb
morning and mace an earnest appeal
that the President withdraw the nom
ination of Walter E. Clark as the suc
cessor to Gov. Hoggatt.
Delegate Wickersham stated that
if Clark were made governor of Al
aska it would be simply a contfnuanc
of the Hoggatt-Guggenheim regime
which is so distasteful to the people
c? Alaska, who have repeatedly repu-|
oirled the Hoggatt party at the polls.
Mr. Wickersham stated that Clark
was practically the press agent of the
; Guggenheims and the combination
that for the past three years have
been opposed to the regularly elected
j delegates from Alaska.
In conclusion Wickersham stated
j that he would not antagonize the ad
ministration by fighting the confirm
ation of Clark but would rely upon
the administration to withdraw
Clark's name after a fair represent
ation of the facts. He said that a
non-partisan and independent man
should be appointed.
