Lester Johnson challenges "Battling" Levinsky to a bout for the heavyweight championship. Johnson is the colored boxer who knocked out Jim Savage in two rounds recently.

In Selling Races for Meeting at Juarez. The Jockey Club Juarez has fallen in line with the Kentucky and Can- |adian tracks and has amended the rule regarding the bidding up of the winners in selling races. The practice of open bidding has been abolished, jand in its place has come the gealed- bid system, now in vogue on many of the eastern tracks. The rule was amended at the request of many of the horsemen and went into effect last week. It was believed the change would result in curbing the activities of Jim Shilling, who has figured as | chief of the halter brigade, That the amended rule is not altogether work- ing to the satisfaction of those who requested the change is evident by the fact that an agitation is already on foot to have the rule further amend- ed, so as to restrict the privilege of bidding on the winners in selling races to those owners represented by horses in the rate. A petition ask- ing that this be done is being circulat- ed and signed by many of the horse- men. ~-- RACING AT HAVANA. Sport Will be Held Saturday, Sunday and Monday. .

Almost to a man the managers who wére here expressed the opinion that the Giants will have a walkover next summer. As Pat Moran, of the Phillies, deeclar- ed: "The National League board of directors might just as well vote $100 to the Giants now for the next sea- fon's pennant, for there'll be nothing to it but the Giants. Unless the other clubs in the Tener circuit are able to strengthen their teams the Giants will be able to win the pennant with Inter- national League pitching." Pretty strong, that! oy "How are you going to stop the Giants?" asked Wilbert Robinson, manager of the National League champions. In those eight words Robby seems to express the senti- ment of the entire league. George Stallings, manager of the third place Braves, whose team was in' the running last season until the last week of the season, made it unanimous when he said: "The only team the Bfaves care a whoop about are the Giants. won't count." Sure McGraw Wants Him. While John McGraw admits that he would like to have Al Mamaux, he says he never told Mamaux so, and that Barney Dreyfuss" allegation that he has been tampering with the player was without foundation: "As a matter of fact," says the Giant's manager, "1 would not know Mamaux in his street clothes, and to say that I would ask him to join the Giants is a reflection on my in- telligence.
