forced this announcement from me.

time came for me to say when, | just
said it. Why should that black fellow
question me? He's the most notorious
faker and 'run-out man in the history
of the game. He says for me to go
and put up $4,000. What for? Is
there any one who has cause to doubt
my determination to regain the ring
honors?
Here's the situation. I'm not 60
ing to pay the least attention to him
I'm bound by theatrical contracts for
twenty weeks to come. I'm longing
for the last performance in that con-
tract Then, and not until then, will
Johnson get a chance to address me,

my talking with my fists. 1t will be
the greatest lire Of conversation the
maduro champion ever listened to.
Gee! Wait until I get him.
4 never felt so full of fight in my
