The agitation in England against
the Johnson-Wells prize fight which
has led the public prosecutor to begin
legal proceedings to prevent It has a
curious interest for Americans. The
action of the British government in
interposing TO stop an exhibition of
the manly art would be surprising
enough If based on moral grounds-if
it were due TO one of those spasms of
morality which Macaulay remarked
upon as a characteristic of British

outburst of sentiment which has
prompted the interference has its ORR

ability to beat the black champion.

of the printers who played in that
game had worked at the trade so long
that they had acquired that slow
