Johnson Loses Salt.Jack Johnson varied the monotony of training at San Francisco, May 20, by appearing in one of the superior courts to answer to a suit brought by Sam Fitzpatrick, his former manager, for a balance of $187.50, said to be due him for services. Johnson received a knockout blow at the hands of the court, which awarded Fitzpatrick a judgment for $118 and costs.J ohnson was accompanied by manager, George Little and Barney Furey, one of his staff of trainers. The fighter explained he had never agreed to pay Fitzpatrick the sum claimed for acting as manager of the training quarters while he was getting ready for his fight with Ketchell.Johnson appealed to the Bible to witness the truth of his statements, and called forth a rebuke from the court: When the decision was given against him, he only smiled and said:“If Fitzpatrick had aBked me for the money he could have had it at any time. •9It was announced Friday the scheduled boxing Saturday afternoon at the training quarters would not take place, as Johnson intended to rest up and do some extra work on Sunday.“Johnson does not want to go stale,” t was explained. He has forty-five days yet in which to get into shape for the match, and why should he rush. Before he gets ready for the fight he will be boxing every afternoon.
