OCTOGENARIANW WANTS FIGHT.
Henry High of Wilson, Kan, Willing
to Meet Negro Champion.

Colorado Springs, Colo. July az
The state of Kansas is the only state
in the Union that can claim an octo-
genarian who is willing to step forth
to defend the white race against Jack
Johnson. Henry High of Wilson, Kan,
who is spending the summer with his
daughter Mrs. Adele Dawson of Colo
RADIO Springs, is the man who thinks
he can do what Jeffries failed to ac
complish. In a statement made here
High emphatically declared that he
was in as good condition, despite his
age, as either Jeffries or his black
conQueror.
He says that he has not used as
much strength in his life as either JEFF
fries or johnson and therefore has
bigger reserve force to draw upon. He
says that for that reason he is really
a younger man than either of the two
pugilists. He can walk, run, jump or
flirt with the best of the young ones"
he says. He is also confident that he has
forty more years to live.
High is a veteran of the Civil war.
He is a retired farmer and will return
to his farm in Kansas after the sum-
meF.
