There's another angle to the question
which is bound to engender bitterness OF

Johnson is allowed to rest In peace there
will come time-and then succeeding
time-in which the colored men will say
THE first negro that was given a
chance became the champion of the world.
They couldn't defeat him. and so. not
to block the wheels OF progress, he step
ped aside and allowed them to arrange a
fresh deal. The chain of destruction
which began with Figg. and Mendoza
ended with Jack Johnson
Joe jeanette. through his manager.
Dan NICK ettrick. is the first to lay claim
to the crown left on the bureau Of Jack
Johnson. Mckettrick says that his man
has shown himself superior to Sam Lang
ford on various occasions, and that it
wasn't SO much Australian gold as de-
sire to evade jeanette that sent Lang
ford scurrying to the land Of the kan
CARGO.
This is the first shot In the new cam
paign. and Jeanette probably has as
much right to fire it as any other man.
But how are things to be brought to a
focus? With Johnson on the retiring
list. astute Hugh Mcintosh is sure to bill
the impending Sam Langford-Sam McVey
! fight as worlds championship struggle,
and who is to gainsay him?
Maybe the best thing for jeanette to
do is begin wedding out at this end. Let
him hook up with Jim Flynn. who seems
to be regarded as the best of the white
| heavies, and let the winner Of that affair
journey to Australia or coax the winner
of the McVey-Langford bout back to this
city. Then he will begin to get a line on
the situation.
Tom O'Rourke. or some one back in
New York. has expressed the opinion that
a white man would be champion Of the
world again before long. 1t is not easy
to see how the conclusion is arrived at.
If there is a white man in the lists at
present who is capable Of defeating jean
cite. Langford and McVey, he is being
kept under cover.
No. sir. So far as the palefaces are
concerned, there is little hope in the out
look right now. And the shadow of john
son is liable to fall athwart the prospect
any time during the next few years. JEFF
fries. on the occasion of his first retire
ment said he would hop back into the
game If a foreigner ever won the cham
pionship from America, and Jack Johnson
will make up his mind to don his war
paint again II the supremacy Of the black
race is threatened.

He may be a good man for us. for Tom

much When McAleer left here he said
that if Hughes was not retained here he
would take him to Boston. McAleer con-
siders Hughes the best pitcher in the
country to stop a batting rally, and he
would have taken him to Boston for that
purpose. Griffith shares this opinion. and
he will use Hughes in a similar manner.

San FRANCISCO. December 4.-When
Jack johnson first talked Of retiring
many thought it was merely one of the
champions whims, and that he would be
back In the game with both feet the first
time proper inducements were made to
him.
Now corroborative testimony is forth
coming that Jack is through with the
frivolities of the ring and that he is
plagued with ennui to the extent that he
does not care a continental who succeeds
To the title.
He valves all right to a voice in the
bestowal Of the laurels. and says he has
no suggestions to make as to the heavy
weights best fitted to wear them.
This is bad. 1t means there will be a
cloud on the heavyweight championship
for years-that the man who assumes the
prerogative without licking Johnson will
be regarded as a pretendeT, jackal mas
querading in lions skin.
There must be continuity in thing OF
this kind. Each succeeding champion is
merely link In chain OF destruction
The newest manor the latest model, one
might say-licked champion who licked
another champion, and so, link by link
we trace our latest prize ring here back

or the barley Arabian.
When a broken link appears there is q
blot on the escutcheon of the man whose
reputational pedigree we are investigat-
ing and so 1t will be If Johnson escapes
from the game unlocked and some one
Srabs his title.
This line of argument is easily proved
sound. John L. Sullivan defeated Paddy
Ryan. who defeated Joe Lewis: Jim Cor
bett defeated Sullivan; Bob Fitzsimmons
defeated Jim Corbett; Jim Jeffries defeat
ed Bob Fitzsimmons, and Jack Johnson
didn't 90 thing to Jeffries.
Just think of the mental suffering OF
the sporting editors of the future while
trying to explain to Old Subscriber and
Constant Reader that the old line OF
champions ended with Johnson and that
the new breed Is only kind o. Manchu
dynasty.
Something must be done to stall OFF the
confusion that threatens the fisic his
torians of the coming years. We mus,
drag Johnson back at any price-and thi:

''I'm glad to be with you," said Mr
Wilson. tAl Of my boys play foot ball
and I'm proud of them only hope thai

this year to be on team which shall
win from Yale. 1t would be worth as
much to me as to my sons. Every boy thai

youngest has been pressed into service
on his school team. 1 thought that III
was little too light, but somehow he
couldt keep out of the sport, and the
teachers say that he Is likely to make q
clever and skillful player"
One week later there was no Princeton
student so proud Of the victory of the
Tigers over Yale as a certain man, with
hair and mustache Of snowy white, who
wanted to get to Tom as quickly as ne
could and hug him for sheer JOY.

REFERENDUM
PETITIONS
READY
Turner's to Fight Club Booze 0rdi-
nance from U. S. Constitutional
Basis. = Claims it Inteferes
With Rights of Men.
ORDINANCE is UP TOMORROW

Petitions of referendum. to put the
proposed ordinance of the city coun-
ell, which is to be legislated to curb
the liquor traffic in clubs in this
city, up before the people as soon
as it comes for final passage in the
council, have already been prepared
by the Turner's club of this city, ready
to use in case the ordinance is
passed.
The council will take up the ordi-
nance next Tuesday, and within 80
days from that time, until January
26, the petitions signed by ten per
cent of property holders, can so be
fore the council as a protest to pass
ing the ordinance. If the council
sees fit it either drops the ordinance
or puts it up to a referendum vote
of the people within 80 days from
that time.
We are going to fight the ordi-
nance from constitutional basis,
said a prominent Turner yesterday
The rights of man will be the ba-
sis, the fourteenth amendment Civ
ing the grounds of the legal battle.
The following article from Oklaho-
ma shows the basis upon which the
Turner's will fight:
of Oklahoma may keep more than
a quart of whiskey or other intoxi-
eating liquor. in their places of bus
mess if they choose and they may
sequestcr more than a gallon of it
in their residence according to an
opinion handed down yesterday by
the court OF criminal appeals Tha;
portion of the Oklahoma prohibition
law which limits the amount of liq-
uor citizens may have in their pos
session at one time was the issue.
The court held that 1t violates the
fourteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, which provides that no
state shall pass any measure which
deprives any citizen of the United
States without due process of law.
The Oklahoma statute made the mere
possession of more than the stipulated
amount of intoXicants proof of guilt.
This angle TO the enactment is what
moved the court to declare it uncon-
stitutional. Scores of bootleggers
have been driven from the state by
the operation of the law.
