“BATTLING" JOHNSON MAKES HIT
WITH LOCAL FANS ;BOXERS READY
FOR LEGION SMOKER NEXT WEEK
“Battling” Johnson, holdt r of the
amateur welterweight title of West
ern Canada, who meets Joe Brady,
Douglas welter, at the American Le
gion smoker next Tuesday evening,
as a real fighter and took part In a
more serious pastime than the ring
game. For three and one-half years
Johnson fought the Ileinies in France
as a member of a Canadian organiza
tion and brought home something
besides German helmets as souven
ir*.
The one which w-ill last him long
est is a disfigured, feelingless, right
hand. On his arm just above tin
hand is a scar from a bullet wound
while the entire palm is marked
where a bit of shrapnel almost robbed
him of the hand. Skilled siliceous
fixed him up until it is about as
good as riew as far as looks are
concerned and, for the purpose i of
the ring game, sHghtly better. For
in the process of healing, operatioi'
was necessary which left the tight
hand without nerves. The [,j get s
are as flexible as ever and circu
lation not impeded in the slightest,
but as for the- sense of feeling there
is none. To that extent it might us
well be a hand of stone, said John
son.
Confident of Winning
Johnson is supremely confident
of winning his fight with Brady.
When told that the Douglas boy is
a tough customer possessed of a
kick in both mitts, the Canadian bat
tler nodded contentedly and without
the least sign of boasting declared
he was glad of it. t Plainly he is
not looking for a set-up. He wants
It to be a good scrap.
If he wins Johnson will take no
prize money hack to Port Althorp
with him. Not that he has spent
It or owes it to someone; he has
ulready donated it to the Legion to
be added to Us building fund which
is being raised to erect a home for
the local ex-service men’s organiza
tion. He is employed at the Deep
Sea Salmon Company’s plant at
Port Althorp and during his ab
sence he draws no pay. He has
been here since last Sunday and will
remain until after the Fourth, paying
Ills own way, asking nothing in re
turn but a good scrap, because, as
he says, he loves the game.
In Ring Seven Years
He has seven years of ring ex
perience but is a modest chap about
his battles. Since the war he served

a hitch in the Canadian Mounted l'o
j lie e. In his workouts at the Par
I ochial gymnasium tliis week, he has
attracted considerable notice. He Is
j working with Sinc lair Brown in put
iting the finishing touches on the
latter's training for the bout with
j Joe Collier.
Brown in Shape
Brown is in first class physical
i condition and openly asserts he is
going to put Joe to sleep. Such a
thing as failure doesn't enter his
mind for a minute.
Collier is equally confident. Joe
is going Into this setup with a grim
determination of winning by a kayo.
Not only that, but he has declared
when Ik1 does so, he will have earned
a right to meet Ford Butler, the
soldier boxer who took his crown
away several months ago, and he
will ask for another chance at But
ler. Collier is training as hard for
his coming fight as any in his car
eer. He believes he can beat
Brownie but is taking no chance of
not being fit for the hardest scrap
of his life.
One Bout Cancelled
The bout scheduled between Bill
Beaudin and Tommy Wilson ims been
cancelled, it was announced today by
J. W. Kc'hoe, chairman of the Legion
smoker committee. Beaudin has
been suffering from an attack of
rheumatism and is in no shape to
go on. In place of this bout, Joe
Williams, of of Collier's sparring part
ners will meet Jose Salgada, a
clever Filipino. Williams is a light
weight while the rilipino is some
seven or eight pounds under the
132-pound class. The latter has some
strong backing and believes he can
win despite the weight he is giving
away.
One other bout remains to be ar
ranged. Several men are anxious
to go on and this will be closed up
today or tomorrow.
Tickets Begin to Move
Ticket sales are picking up for
the- smoker and indications are that
Klks Hall will be filled to capacity.
Reserved seat tickets are on sale at
Burfords,’ the Brunswick and the
Alaskan Hotel, and at Guy's Drug
Store at Douglas.
Demands for reservations coming
in from nearby points indicate that
all of the better seats will be vir
tually exhausted by Saturday night

GIBBONS BEST
BOXER DEMPSEY
HAS EVER FACED
NEW YORK, June 28—(By Asso
elated Press.)—When Tommy Gib
bons, St. Paul heavyweight, gteps
into the ring at Shelby, Montana.
July 4 against Jack Dempsey, the
champion, he may be compared in
some respects to "Gentleman Jim"
Corbett when that dapper boxing
vizard squarred oft against John
G. Sullivan at New Orleans in 1892.
Gibbons’ chances against Dempsey
have been belittled by a majority of
the experts, and indeed, the Min
nesotan hardly appears heavy punch
er enough to flatten the Coloradan.
But like his middleweight brother
Mike, “The Phantom,” Tommy is a
master boxer, cool In combat, always
clever, always fast and a puncher of
no mean ability.
At least a year older than Dempsey,
an Inch or two shorter and really a I
light-heavyweight, Gibbons may not
be able to stand before the cham
pion for 15 rounds. Except in age—
Corbett was much younger than Sul
livan when they met in New Orleans
^-Gibbons and Dempsey will be like
"Gentleman Jim” and "Terrible John
G." In that famous scrap of 31 years
ago*
Sullivan's terrific punching power,
like that of the Dempsey of today,
caused many a sturdy opponent's
knees to quake when he thought of
it, and many of them were defeated
by fear before Sullivan laid a glove
on them. Not so Corbett. When
Jim took his corner at New Orleans
John Ij. scowled, shuffled his faut |
and spat on the ring floor his cuj-|
tomary greeting. Jim laughed and
chatted with ringsiders as the gloves
were being pushed upon his Lands.
He paid no attention to Sullivan.
Through the rounds, as agile Jim
sidestepped Sullivan's hull-like rushes, j
the. champion became infuriated.)
Cafhe the famous .twenty-first round,
i Corbett still strong ami smiling. The
wear of the fight had told on Sulli
van; ho. was angered, but even then
had lie been able to punch Corbett
solidly he would have rethined the
title. Corbett landed five crashing
blows to the jaw.
Sullivan kept his feet, but his
eyes began to roll, lie was totter
ing. Corbett measured his man. The
i right landed on the jaw point. Old
John's knees sagged and he keeled
slowly over.
The great champion, batterer
down of a hundred heavy-hitting op
ponents, had been defeated by a mas
ter boxer.
Dempsey, as champion, has never
met a man as well-versed in the game
as Gibbons. Carpentier. the one
punch man, could not evade th
Dempsey rushes. Dill Brennan was
more than once a punching hag.
Awkward Billy Mlske was anotlm.
Willard, stunned by the first of
Dempsey’s blows, wag an easy target
until the end.

contract.

Ex - soldiers Have Stronger
Lineups—Burts and'Mook
Opposing Moundsmen.
With a strengthened lineup, the
American Legion entry In the City

Juneau aggregation at the City Park

the Elks last Sunday won himself a
high standing with the fans, will
work on the mound for the ex-sol
dlers. .
MacSpaddeh, wfho put up n stellar
game with the ore-sorters last week
on his first appearance, has been
sold to the Legionnaires. He will
replace Hanna behind the bat, the
latter going to an infield position.
MacSpadden has a fine record as a
receiver and his addition to the Le

strength. 4,
Mook will probably do the twirl

BASEBALL CASE
NOW IN COURT
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. Unit
i ed States District Judge Patridge
j has denied the petition of Charles
! Lockhart, one of the owners of the
j Seattle Club of the Pacific Coast
League, a temporary injunction to
compel President William McCar
thy, of the League, to seat him as a
director.
Application for a permanent in
junction is still pending.
The ownership of the Seattle Club
