JACK JOHNSON MAY
NOT TACKLE joey

NEW YORK, August Is 1t As more
than probable that Jack johnson ana
Joe Jeanette will not settle any argu~
ment as 10 fstic superiority IN TINS
city The Mcmahon brothers are going
ahead with the work Of preparing Tor
the match but the wise ones believe II
is a certainty that Johnson never Will
collect a cent Of that s25. 900. not next
month anyway. The State athletic
commission has rule written in IN
deubie ink in the big book up at Al
baay, absolutely barring Jack 1ohn-
son from boxing in the State of New
ork. This Punishment is due partly
TO Johnson's annoying way of seek
Ing publicity in New York. partly TO
the fact that Governor Dix has noted
that every time Johnson appeared IN
the ring there was trouble Of some
kind after the affair, and also to the
fact that assurances were given the
governor when he signed the Frawtey
bill that no prize Nights would he
staged IN the State, At that time
Johnson's name was put on the list
u undesirables.
There has been no official notice
from the State athletic commission,
and that body Will meet the latter part
cf this weeE. but there IL no hint that
amy change in the rule against John
son will he made. The rule Is a part
Of the State statutes, and put IN the
book TO stay,

MIA trainer has been In Ill health for
many years. and has found the burden
OF handling college track and field
teams incr eaAingly heavy.
The care Of the Olympic athletes
was the last big undertaking that
Murphy felt himself fitted for. and
he has cast about for means of en-
pioyins his knowledge OF the condi-
tiontng of men under circumstances
that would allow him a little ieisure e.
The whole thing depends largely on
Murphy's health and the matter may
not be settled for some time. The idea
Is not new one, for the trainer has
been considering the proposition for
some time. and his friends have urged
him to give up the hart, work OF train

He stopped. The front door opened
lightly. There was sound of quick,
soft footsteps in the hall. A voice
called: "Gyp, come to mel" But Gyp
did not come. Miss brakes lips set
in a firm uncompromising line as the
frolicsome little Pomeranan ran into
the room and leaped at Toms out

head and cot a good full look at tho
French girl.
Slender, dark, she looked indescrib-
ably attractive in her short, black
velvet walking costume, trimmed in
dark fur. The fur toque set lightly on
on her brown hair, her cheeks were
flushed from her walk in the bracing
winter air, her lips were parted eu
pectantly, cad her dark eyes glanced
half wistfully from one face to the
other. Surely she did not look like
a far-sighted adventures, and yet
Miss brakes lips did not relax.
Tom performed the Introduction
