LANCFORD TO CHASE
JOHNSON FOR FIGHT
Joe Woodman Displays $780,
600 Certified Check Which
He Is Willing to Put Up.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1s.-With a
| businesslike piece Of water bond
pinned to his inside vest pocket. upon
| which is written certified demand on
New York bank for $4,000. Joe Wood
man, manager of Sam Langford. the
nemesis of one Jack johnson, dropped
into a local newspaper Office last night
Just off the train from Reno" was his
greeting. and to prove 1t he pointed to
the creases in his shoes from which the
alkali dust Of the plains had not yet
been routed Thought I'd just drop In
and deposit this with your sporting
editor
from the folds of his ministerial-lookine
waistcoat. he thrust it into pigeon hole
of the sporting editors desk THAT
goes to cover that loud-talking money
belonging to Jack johnson. Just write
piece in the paper saying we'll fight him
any time, anywhere, for any old purse
at ALL II 1t would sound all right just
say we'd rather fight In his cellar; then
they wouldn't have to carry him Sc
far
Woodman was chock full Of fight. He
acted it, shouted it, talked it and later
admitted that he dreamed it and some
times digested it. All the same 1t was
refreshing. altogether unlike the press
agent yarns Ilat nave LuTueO TIC puUAC :
minds upside down since John Arthur
and James ]. agreed to maui each other
in Reno.
It took long time to convince him
that to place bet In such manner is
not altogether good form and quite out
Of the ordinary in the decorous sanctum
of the sporting editor. Such things are
allowable tor state senator's, but for a
sporting editor to be stakeholder for a
prize fght-never.
Amy way this goes" as he famed
himself with the gayly coiored check
ANY time Jack Johnson thinks he's going
to shake US he gets fooled. Wen chase
him around the world. just like Tommy
Burns did, and he'll either have to fight
or acknowledge fear.
IF they do fight, 1t will likely take
place in England. There is less racial
feeling there, and both are favorites."
Woodman was impressed with the big
fiasco in Reno. much the same as other
promoters and knowing ones.
Jeff could have licked Johnson a week
before the battle he said. 1T was a
plain case Of nerves had on one or
two occasions heard Jeff's gameness
questioned, but his fight disproved all
such rumors. He was game to the core. "

mines at Kimberly, South Africa.
For Williamson, the notorious buyer
of illicit diamonds, was back again
from exile, ubiquitous and smiling
and evidently prosperous.
NathansOn's first move was to
purchase some waste land adjoin-
ing the Phoenix and to set up ma
tive store. Therein were displayed
goods calculated to drag the money
from the native laborers' pockets
blankets, beads, mirrors, hair oil,
canned foods, glass jewelry-all the
miscellany of the trade. And thith-
err flocked the natives of the Phoe-
nix mine, to the detriment OF the
company's own store.
Native laborers in South Africa
are recruited from the interior viii
lagos by contractors. They work
for a year or more and then return,
to purchase wives from fathers of
daughters with their accumulated
savings, thenceforward to exist in
idleness while the women work for
them. But a good portion of the
natives earnings is spent in the
stores.
At once a furious competition
broke out between Williamson and
the company. Prices were cut be-

The brides were late, and the train

Where were the brides? Time

one could find them. Slowly the
train pulled out, and, as it passed

to touch his hands or his clothes,
while one, emerging from the crush,
triumphantly declared that she had

A motherly appearing woman,

the aviator's lapel.
Escaping from his besiegers,
Paulhan laughed and shrugged his
shoulders. In his native tongue he
