High School
Athletes Get
Track Medals
Youths Who Took Honors of Indoor
Meet Competitions Are Pre
sented with Frizes.
Omaha High school tecelved the priges
won. by Its athletes at the Auditorium In
door meet, Monday. The presentation was
made by Lieutenant Mlchaells at a mass
meeting held by George Geib, the student
track manager.
Harry Kulakof.-ky received the gold
medal for first in the COO-yard handicap', and
the shield, was given to the high school
because J ts relay team won first In the re
lay race open to high schools. Lieutenant
Mlchaells made a Bhort talk In which he
praised the track squad for the good work
they had done. He urged that Omaha High
school should hold the reputation of the city
In the Missouri Valley meet to be held at
Dea Moines next Saturday and at the stats
high school meet to be held at Lincoln on
May 20.
Besides the trophies won by the high
school at the Auditorium, Prof. Graff of
the hlgl school presented the athletes
with medals won In the recent class track
and field day.
Mr. Gralf and the athletic board were pre
sented with a unique situation In the case
of awarding the gold and sliver medals to
the Individual athletes in this meet who had
the most number of points. John Rayley, a
senior, and Robert Wood, a freshman, had
each won an equal number of points In the
meet and thus the gold medal which was
to go to the boy having the greatest num-
Der or points was a disputed honor. To
make the matter even harder for the board.
both youths had generously offered to :
low the other to have the flrat honor while
he took the second.
The matter was finally settled by allowing
th,e two winners to have the two medals In
Joint possession for the year, one' to wear
the first one for the first half of the year
and the other for the second half. As Ray
ley waa graduating this year It was decided
that he should be allowed to wear it for the
first half of the year.
Prof. Graff alo presented all boys
who won places In the meet with a ribbon,
naming the place and dale. The names of
the four boys who composed the Victorious
relay team of the Indoor meet will be en
graved upon the shield presented the high
school. The members of the team are:
Robert Wood. Harry I-'rafer. Hugh Millard
and Halleck Rnue.

Jack Johnson
Settles Down to
First Real Work
Colored Pugilist Trots Off on Twelye
Mile Jaunt Trainers Drop by
Wayside.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10. -Jack Johnaon
did hla flrat training for hla coming fight
with James Jeffries Monday and although
there waa no gymnasium work or boxing
scheduled, a large crowd of spectator was
attracted to the beach.
The heavyweight champion was out on
the roada bright and early with Oeorg
Cotton. Barney Furey and Marty Cutler,
and the pace he set them for the twelve
mile trip waa so stiff that Cutler dropped
out long before they had gone half the
distance. Johnson admitted when he re
turned that he guessed It was to long a
trlp for the first time, but he showed hla
wind was in great condition as he was
not even breathing hard upon hla return.
He Immediately gave notloe he would bt
on the road late In the afternoon and
that he would keep up this program the
rest of the week.
After the luncheon hour, In accordance
with his promise he stripped down to
fighting togs to give the newspaper
photographers a chance at him. . A battery
of tight camera men was hard at work
nd Jack talked good naturedly to them
aa they made pictures of him In every
conceivable pose. He stood Just where they
told him to stand and posed as directed for
more than half an hour. When they
were satisfied Johnson returned to his
room and after entertaining a few friends
anounced that he would take an automobile
tide before the afternoon walk.
Although Johnaon has not weighed since
he reached San Francisco, he stated as his
opinion today that he would tip the scales
at 228. Men who watched him, however,
while pictures were being taken, wers of
the opinion the colored man weighed
stripped considerable under his own esti
mate. The boxing program will begin Sunday
afternoon, and thereafter for at least two
weeks he will box three days a week, Sun
days, Wednesdays and Fridays. Later he
wilt Increase the boxing to four days a
week, but says that right up to the day
of the fight he will Switch from spsrring
at least three days out of tho seven.
"Personally I would be glad not to com
mence boxing for a couple of weeks." said
Johnson, "for I ought to know best my
condition, but the public demands It and
I will show the people just what Is my
condition."
BEN LOMOND, May lO.-Jeffries made a
poor showing in the ling Monday. Com
pared to his work of laat week he was slow
of eye and foot and the spectators, among
whom were Tex Rlckard and Jeffries'
father and brother were disappointed.
Jeffries slept late and when he appeared
In the ring atrlpped for action, he lacked
the life he has shown on other days. To
make matters worse, 'the grouch that
Jeffries displayed during the early part
of his training siege returned In double
force and the fighter was as affable as a
gorilla. Sevan round In all. marked the
ring work. Three with Joe Choynskl were
featureless, except to show the ex-
champlon was not up to form.
In the second round of his bout with
Bob Armstrong, the spectators were led to
think he had dropped the negro, for Arm-1
strong stretched bis full .length on the
mat.' It developed, however. It was only
a slip. A few "momenta later Jeffries
stepped on his own foot and went down
In the spot where Armstrong had fallen.
At;er the boxing, the striking bag came
In for a hard trouncing and later hand
ball was Indulged In. As a whole, how
ever, the day was filled with . disappoint
ment. Rlckard will leave here tomorrow
morning. - He said that he and Berger had
not discussed the referee question.
CHICAGO, May . In a letter received
today by Emll Klank, manager of Frank
Gotch, world's heavyweight champion
wrestler, ftom James J. Jeffries, the big
fighter refuses to release Farmer Burna,
who was to have conditioned Gotch for his
125.000 bout with Zbysxko, the Polish giant.
May SO. Writing from his training camp
at Ben Lomond, Cal., Jeffries says:
"Burns Is needed here. He Is one of the
best conditioners In the w.rld, and as I am
eager to be as fit as I ever was in my
life to step into the ring against the col
ored man July 4,' I cannot spare Burns.
If Gotch were to be able to come on here
In a few days to take the place of Burns
It would be different. I must have Burns
Gotch must spare him."
