JACK JOHNSON
PASSES THE LIE

New York, Dec. 23-Jack johnson.
heavyweight champion pugilist of the
world. returned to America Friday
on the steamship KronprinZessin Ce-
ellie and stated emphatically that he
had not retired from the ring. and his
appearance belied the cable dispatches
that the champion was fat as n prize
porker. He stepped upon the dock
scales n showed a p%oundage Of only
23S, saving, as he did so. that he
weighed 245 when he started to train
for Jeffries.
ITS purely a question of money. as
It always has been. whether I fight
again or not" he said. II was in
prime shape for B0mbardier Wells
when jealousy among promoters stop
ped that bout. l can get ready again
on short notice il some one shows me
a pure worth while"
Johnson left for Chicago today to
spend Christmas. He will be in his
Chicago home this evening. He
may come back eXt week ia see some
OF the white hopes in action here
abouts. In n event he will return
soon to start on a 20 weeks theatrical
tour Ii there is nothing doing in tho
boxing line he will return to France.
OF England he has had his fill, he
says. "
With tho champion came the IA
nous thirteen trunks full Of clothes

NAVY OFFICIALS
DEMAND TRAINING
Middies Compelled to Com
pete in Athletics or Take
Long Walks

Annapolis. Dec. 23.-The policy Of
the authorities of the naval academy
is to keep every mdishipman busy at
athletics during the entire year.. if
possible. and those who have recent
ly been engaged at football, with
are now looking around for some
thing to do in some other branch of
sport.
lhese mldshipmen VINO are not reg
ular candidates for one of the athletic
teams are compelled to take a long
country walk every Thursday after
noon. besides other regular exercise,
and in this way the authorities in
fiuence the large majority of the mid
shipmen to engage in some sport or
ether all through the year
The cross-country squad numbers
about 200. which is the largest number
ny far that has hiked around Ann
apoiis since the new academic year
began. though it represents only about
one-fourth of the whole body of mid
snipmcn. Considering the fact that
nearly 900 Of tbs midshipmen were
actively engaged in football up to the
end of November. and that sport had
finished for the year, the showing was
not bad.
Football Players Arc Active.
Nearly all of the regular football
players and substitutes have found
something to do in athletics already.
capt; Dalton is coaching a squad of
mldshipmen who are learning soccer,
Dalton having become proficient in the
game before he entered the academy.
Later he will try to clip IL second or
so off his own academy record in both
of h hurdles. Several of the other
football men, notably. Howe. Redman
and Latimore. will probably come out
for the weight events on the field
and track team.
is captain If the lacrosse twelve this
year. and the stickmen are now in
training and will get on the field as
soon as weather permits. Weems. the
centcr on h team. is the light heavy
weight champion wrestler of the
academy. and has begun work for the
grappling aggregation. The wrestlcrs
would like Brown or Howe to try for
the heavyweight event, but it is prob
able that they will O go into this
branch OF sport. However. Vaughn,
substitute tackle. will join the mat
squad. and should prove Il useful man.
though he will be much outweighcd
in the heavywei- 1T class. Two other
football men, Sowell and Scofield, are
champion wrestlers in their class.
Baseball Practice, Starts Soon,
Byrd. a substitute back. is ca ptain
OF the gymnasium team, and is now
working with the other members of
the squad. Wakenlan. left guard, ia
one of tho best pitchers in the acade-
my; Cochran. substitute halfback, is
the regular catcher of the nine. and
McPeaNy. end. and Nichols. halfback,
viii be other football men who will
Join the baseball squad, which will cct
busy in the cage in a few DAYS and
out in the open as soon as weather
permits.
AS soon as tho wrestling season is
over. Weems will Join the rowing
squad. He is one of the best oarsmen
at the academy. as well as a crack
football player INC wrestler. Brown.
tedman and Ingram were members
or the crack fourth class crew last
season. and all have excellent chances
OF making the first or second crew
this SnuSnn.

Pitcher O'Brien of Denver, who was
sold to the Boston Americans, is in u
class by himself. He went through the
season without making an error. and
won 26 out of 33 games. Kenworthy
Of Denver, who also goes to Boston,
won nine out Of twelve games.
Leaders in fielding among the third
basemcn is Quillcn of Denver, who

This department of play has its
staunch adherents and supporters, and
its equally strong antagonists and OPP
