-IS a pathetic story of pugilism,
pride and pity that the sport
page carried Thursday. Referring
to the suicide of Jacn JohnsOn's wife
at her home in Chicago.
Those FL PasoanS who Journeyed to
Las Vegas on the fourth to see the
mill between Johnson and the white
man, Flynn, remember Johnson's wife
as a demure, little white woman WHO
sat in Johnson's corner with enough
diamonds on her slender fingers to
start a gem store. Extensively
dressed and the center of interest, be-
cause johnson insisted upon address,
ing her during the fight, she attracted
more attention than die Johnson's op-
The fact that johnson had white
wife has been a fly in he fight game

the prejudice to johnson in New York.

home town. The negro fighter has
his wife was negress because of
strain of negro blood back in the fam
lily. This has been as often denied as
repeated and little credence has been
placed in il by sporting men,
The ostracism, which the white
woman experienced as the wife of
negro, as notorious as her black hus-
band was too much for her and she
took her own life surrounded by her
negro maids and amid luxury which

Coincident with the announcement
that Wolgast had Cancelled his match
with Mcfarland in New York, came the
report from the governors office IN Al
bany that he Gov. Dix, would not
stand for this fight and would have
the police stop it If this extreme ne
cessity arose. Freddie WEIGH was to
have been substituted for Wolgast in
the original shift Of fighters, but
whether the governor viii stand for
this match or not has not been made
public The fight game has never been
on easy avenue in New York, due to
badly handled and poorly executed
matches, and the prospects OF further
fights over the short course do not look
any too brilliant Just now.

When the day arrived there, rebels had
