One-Fourth of John

George Little, deposed manager of
Jack Johnson took preliminary steps
yesterday to recover one-fourth of the
$4,000, which is said to be the total
amount of Johnson's earnings in his
fight with Jefries at Reno. This
amount is due because Johnson broke a
contract for no valid reason, declares
Little.
After consulting with his attorney,
Adolph Marks. who advised a suit, Lit
tie ordered whatever steps were neces-
sary to have the case heard in the Cir
cult court of the United States.
Little admitted that he had received
s30,500 in settlement, but said he was
going to resort to every means to OBJ
tain his slice of Johnsons earnings
The erstwhile manager intends to leave
for New York today, not to see John
son but to collect some money which
he says he wagered on Johnson.
