u OnOIt NOW Has 1t LIldL JACK JOnu-
k sen, Leay yweight champion, has
been thinking seriously of break
Ting loose from his manager, George
Little. Billy Nolan, the fight poll
tician" who went to Johnson's camp
ostensibly to prevail upon the black TO
accept Eddie Smith as the referee, is
mentioned as Little's successor. Nolan
is clinging to Johnson like a leech.
johnson hints he has about closed with
} Nolan.
1t is said that since Jim Corbett
reached the Jeffries headquarters both
Y camps lave established literary
Aureaus. Since the Corbett-Johnson
controversy began both Gentleman
Jim" and the champion have been pay
ing more attention to their correspond
ence-that Is, debating letters extend
ing compliments to one another, etc.
Some are of the opinion that the Cor
lbett-Johnson bout given so much
space recently is only a press agent
stunt, Corbett certainly was bitter.
He held johnson In contempt when he
was here. He would not care to cast
the slightest blemish on his record by
drawing the public on and then back
Ing out. Jim will certainly try to show
johnson up II they meet and it looks
now as thougs, an eight or ten-round
boxing bout will be a certainty, unless
johnson is bluffing.

Bflfy Leary has returned from Con-
necticut. where he was working with
Leach Cross, n is winding up his
training for his bout next Monday
night with Kid Wilson, of Orange, at
the Municipal A. c. with the big fell
lows at Woodlawn Inn.
In q letter to a friend in Orange
Leary says he is going to win over
Kid Wilson Monday night, and hints
that he is in fine condition for boxing.
He Is full of confidence.
Ask Wilson II I get that 800 when
I get in the ring with him. says Leary
in his letter, referring to an assertion
made some time ago. "Also tell Jim
and Danny Savage to come down Mon
day night to the bout. Tell them / am
q welterweight yet, too, and willing to
make the weight any time there is
money in II. What do you think of my
fight with Wildfang? He has not hit
me yet, has he?"
Kid Wilson'S friends are saving
wood, but there Is all kinds of conf
dence in his camp. They believe their
man will surely get the verdict, and are
booming him to go higher in the game.
Wilson, although he has not been
fighting for over two years. has always
taken good care Of himself, n should
be in shape.
Danny Sullivan, Jack Goodman's
trainer, was in the Office a few minut
yesterday before he went back to Fair
Haven to keep the New York light
L. -L1-N R~r n4acfH1A hatff
with Tommy Murphy, for whom Good
man is willing to make 1873. Comment
ing on the Walsh-Moore fight, Good
man declares that Driscoll must have
been in bad shape when Pal Moore
beat him after Pals showing with
Walsh.
Guess our old friend Larry sutton
who is now out looking for more Mil
lers and Wheats. didn't pick a wonder
In Jake Daubert, the Brooklyn first
sacker. He is now being doomed as a
close runner-up to Hal Chase.
.
Benny Meyer has been at bat twice in
two days and has driven in four runs.
/ guess he's q pretty good bench
warmer. It's a pity that such a man
as Meyer is kept on the bench.
Some people criticised the Tigers
harshly after yesterdays game. While
the criticism is not deserved very
much. yet the team should take 1t as a
warning and get more life in them.
.
Sailor Burke is just as courageous
as ever. Yesterday he crawled out of
the proposed match with Stanley
Ketchel. Sailors nose needs attending
to. declared Burke. Guess he'd rather
have a surgeon at 1t than Ketehel.
