JOHNSON MAKES GOOD

expressed by a dusky admlrer
of Jack Johnson at the conclusion of

a few sparrlng evolutions with two
partners as q wind-up for his high

out of handouts and chains galore,
which the audience" or spectators,

Kid Critic and Bernstein gave a couple
of exhibitions in which the gore flowed
p%rofusely. So far so good. But when
they brought out a tattooed freak billed

much to the enjoyment of the
Turk who threatened to wallop the
audience collectively If they persisted
in annoying him. 1t was a pretty good
fake, but didn't take. Johnson, who
had previously made his bow, her APP
peared in green tights with a red ban
danna around his waist and proceeded
to make BLACK Bilrs" kinky hair stand
up straight with fear. This siesta was
followed by a three-round sparring ex-

champions opponent, in which Jack
simply fooled with Monte, though Cut
Ter tried hard to land on the black.
Johnson handled himself with such ut

mind Of those present as to his ability.
Jack Is clever. His ranginess and his
reach give him a great advantage, but
he never has met anyone quite as good
as Jeffries was" and therein hinges
the solution of the problem. Many
who witnessed the exhibition comment
