Did Jack johnson deposit that $4,000,
which it was reported a few weeks
ago he did in Chicago, to cover the
$4,000 deposited by effries with sport

question fight Tendon is asking, and

search has failed to reveal even five

ago deposited $500 to meet Ketchel,
with a sporting writer, but withdrew
the amount and there is no record of
Johnson ever having again deposited
that money with anyone.

veIoped that the willy Britt had shipped |,
Stanley off to the Mendocino hills. with +,
a guard sufficiently strong to insure
him staying far from the white lights
and the smell of gasoline, to enable him
to get into good shape again. Britt re-
allied that in the fight with Papke
Ketchel did not show his true form.
and told his man that if he intended TO
fight any more topnotchers, while I'M
der his management he would have to
get down to business. So it was ar
ranged that a small party should go up
into the California hills and to see that
Stanley got plenty of hard work, good
food and 10 hours sleep each night
Ketchel was willing. So one night,
about six weeks ego the party, like the
Arabs, folded their blankets and stole
silently away. Britt remained in San
Francisco, and his misleading state
ments undoubtedly saved Ketchel from
much annoyance. When the Michigan
