BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

easily as the dnge defeated Burns. But now-well that's another question.
 And Johnson is getting a deal of mo- toriety himself Fa, too is something of an advertiser Tsxas has come out in cold type, saying We will tolerate Johnson if he enters and keeps quiet but he must not bring along that Phila- delphia woman whom he calls wife"'
 And Johnson, in spite of his prominence in fighting circles, will not run against this threat. The woman has gone east
 Johnson is due to pass through Bir mingham, incidentally, in the near fu- ture. But it is safe to say that there will be no gathering to cheer him along. We can't keep him from passing through, you know
 Isn't it strange that in spite of anti legislation, protests of religious sects, and prayers of the faithful, the fighting game continues to thrive. It is brutal sport-the most brutal But still the game has it's attraction and draws well everywhere. There are more fighters to- day in spite of the opposition encoun- tered than ever before. and new cham pions are born every week.
 The game is just opening up in the south. The greatest boost was the pass age of the bill in the Tennessee legis- lature recently allowing pugilistic contests in that state, but forbidding prizes and decisions. Several fights of the smaller fry have recently occurred in Nashville and Memphis, and Atlanta and New Or leans have had some live little engage ments The lightweight pugilists are gradually turning towards Dixie, and some of these days a regular battle will occur.
 Incidentally Corbett whipped Sullivan in the south and at a little way station in Mississippi, Richburg, John l.. and Jake l1iran went P rounds
 But still it's a brutal old game.
