The Angels’ big Tead has been cut down on the road, and when the Seraphs go home it looks like they won't have such a cinch on the Coast rag after all. ‘TWO GAMES BILLED TODAY Seattle and San Francisco meet twice today.

The most prominent citizens of the Mexican capital visit him daily bis train ing camp and are his pupils in the art of boxing s Learns Real Stuff In working with Johnson and Cutler, Captain Roper has one tremendous advantage lacked by the Toledo gladiators—trainers and sparring partners of. the highest class and ability. Neith. er Willard or Dempsey has had such an opportunity as Roper enjoys, to learn the finer points of ring craftemanship. Johnson seiected Roper from all | the young fighters of his acquaint ance.

If he ever gets that white man into the ring, he will him to a pulp. He will fight fike Bob Roper and Jack Johnson put te gether.” “What if Dempsey wins?” he was asked. “Dempsey can't lick the man that beat Jack Johnson,” replied Johm son. “But if he does, he'll have to beat a man that knows all Johnson can show him.” BARTFIELD LOSES BUTTE, Mont, July 4.—Soldier Rartfield lost the decision to Bat tling Ortega, San Francisco middle weight, here last night, after a stiff 12-round battle Yesterday's winners: » Los Angeles, cisco.
