JACK JOHNSON
NATURAL FIGHTER
Berger Tells Why Negro Has
Achieved Such Success
in Prize Ring.
BY r. /. GOLDBERG.

New York, Jan. 24.-In a recent article
written for a San Francisco newspaper.
Sam Berger tells why the negro has
achieved such wonderful success in the
prize ring Although comprising very
small percentage of the populstion Of
this country. the black man stands pre-
eminent as an exponent of the manly art,
Berger gives as the chief reason for the
coiored mans success the obstacles that
are placed in his way by racial prejudices.
1t is the natural instinct Of the human
being to fight in the face of great OBJ
stacles-the greater the obstacles the
harder he fights

people are gathered up from incidents
which occur In the practice Of the legal

A very strong cas- was made against
the defendant, whose counsel turned
rather despairing toward him and
asked: do you want to take the wit.

"Well, lawyer" answered the negro, X
think I had better remain neutral"
Another anecdote relates to a young
American lawyer who, in arguing q
case in the Court Of Appeal, commenced
By citing = dozen authorities in support
Of some very elementary proposition.
The presiding Judge interrupted him in
the process by saying: You need not
cite any more authorities; you may
safely assume that the court knows
something" III your honor would
permit me- to proceed" replied the un.
daunted young advocate, II should like
to do 90 In my own way. l may say
that the assumption that the court
knew something was the mistake l
