JOHNSON TRIES HIS CAR
Match Race with Oldfeld To Be
Five Mile Heats.

Jack johnson made his first appearance
as a racing driver before a large crowd Of
railbirds yesterday afternoon at the Sleeps
head Bay track Plotting his big car John
son cut the corners OF the famous course
with as much reckless abandon as Barney
Oldfeld showed during his practice spins
yesterday morning Those who thought
that the negro would cut of power on the
turns were disappointed. and several of
OIdfelds admirers who were interested
spectators gave the champion puEiIist a
better chance in the match race between
the TWO on Thursday.
Johnson posed for an army OF photog-
raphers and seemed TO enjoy his death dar-
ing stunts as much as though he was dodg-
ing policemen on the Boulevard.
OIdheId and johnson met late in the
afternoon at an uptown hotel and decided
on the number and distance Of the heats of
the race. It was agreed that OldfieId was
to name the distance Of the first heat. John
son TO select the distance OF the second.
and the third TO be decided by the toss of
Il coin
Barney said five miles would suit him for
the first heat. and johnson replied that as
he had an engagement after the race he did
not want 70 be detained too LONG after he
won. five miles suited Jack. George
Considine then produced a coin and started
to toss it. Hold on there" spoke I'D John
son. nothing like that for an old crap
shooter. We will decide this by rolling the
bones"
The champion thereupOn drew a pair Of
dice from his pocket and. handing one 70

threw a two, while Oldheld tossed a six.
