WILL TRAIN JOHNSON
Tommy Ryan Announces That He
Will Put Black On to
Jeff's Style.

Chicago, March 1s.-Jack johnson,
heavyweight champion. has an even
chance with Jim Jeffries, according to
Tommy Ryan, retired middleweight cham
pion. and the latter will back his claims
by training the colored pugiIist for his
coming battle. He helped TO teach JEFF
fries and he believes that he will be able
to land his new pupil a winner over the
former. He said today:
II am not going to undertake to teach
Johnson how 10 box. He is a master of
the fine points of spaTring, but l can tell
him lot about Jeffs style, and, by the
way, Jim has but one system of fighting,
and that is to hide behind the crouch.
He has followed that so long that 1t VIII
be impossible for him to change. He will
have to give up his defensive tactics to
a certain extent, because he must go in
to win and win quickly.
Il am Of the opinion that Jeff will be
In good shape for the battle, but then
the question arises whether he could ever
have whipped Jack. Jim is hard worker
and will train right for his contest. He
has gone about things in the right man
ner to get into shape He has taken
nearly two years TO get to it and Will
climb over the ropes in fit condition.

There is no more interesting study IN
the Rise and Growth of Basebalf' than
this wage question. which is really g
phase of economics which would make a
hit in a college course. They may say
that baseball is not producer of worlds
goods ard that nothing material is
gained which give the non-particiPants
anything tangible. As result, the ball
player is ranked with the actor. the lee
turer. the lawyer and the physician. Not
a bad plane to occupy, by the way.
1t is fact that few men outside the
magnates themselves know what actual
salaries are paid. For instance. the gen
eraI belief is that Tyrus Cobb of the De
troit Tigers, receives a salary of 5000 q
year, and that he has signed a contract
for term of three seasons. Is 5000 for
seven months or so of actual work a good
salary? Well, rather. Those grave, dig
nified men who occupy the United States
Senate and who have to live in grandeur
are not any better off as regards coin OF
the realm IN a salary way.
From all quarters comes the report that
Hans Wagner of the Pittsburg Pirates,
gets in the neighborhOod of $4,000 for the
same amount OF work. This would amount
to 81 600 or more a year if he PLAYED that
