was charged with drunkenness on
duty.
From the bowling records made dur?
ing the past week a person not postul
would naturally conclude that a pro
longed match with Skagway had been
on. Had the "200" board been ex
changed for a 119 board the past
week the list of nameB recorded would
have been much longer. As It was
only three players were in anything
like form. They were Ell Htime, 223,
F. E. HarbotUe 203, Bert Fowler 200.
While the pinsetters worked as many|
hours as usual, they did not handle

ed to fight Johnson," said Frank Sla
vln, the well known retired fighter,
when he learned that the negro and
holler maker had signed articles. "I'm
very much afraid that Johnson Is too
clever and that Jeffries will not be
In shape for a gruelling match.
"Jeff may think he is in good con
dition, but he has been out of the
ring too long to be in his old time
form. When he faces Johnson he
will not be the Jeffries of old. Then
Johnson is a better man than Jeff
ries 'ever fought. He is as big as
Jeffries and much more clever."
Mr. Slavln expects to see the Jeff
ries-Johnson fight If It is held before
May.
