OFFER JOHNSON $4,000
TO BATTLE JEANETTE
French Boxing Promoters
Hang Up Huge Sum for Two
CoIored GIadiat0rS.

NEW YORK, June 15.-John Arthur
Johnson is certainly a lucky man. The
French boxing promoters, through Victor
Breyer, have cabled an offer Of $4,000
to the champion il he will fight Joe jean
nette thirty rounds in the fair city of
Paris. And that $4,000 goes whether Lii
Artha wins. loses or draws.
All the Parisians want is to see John
son fight Jeanette. The reason they will
guarantee Johnson SO much money is
that he demanded this sum last year
when they preached such battle to him.
Now that they see a way of arranging
the contest they are ready to talk bust
ness. All they ask of Johnson is to post
$4,000 forfeit to bind his word. Not that
they doubt John-nothing Of the sort
but simply as a matter of business.
John is now out in the sunny cline
of Las Vegas. n. NJ, preparing for his
coming affair with Jim Flynn. for which
he will receive the small sum of $31 600,
no matter which way the tide of battle
turns. When he has that sum packed
away in his jeans and travels across the
briny to clutch the $4,000 offered there,
whew! what a rich man he will be.
johnson will hardly turn down this gilt
tering offer unless Mr.. James Flynn man
ages to slip one over on the glorious
Fourth, which is rather doubtful.

There used TO be a pale-v.saged kid
around Milwaukee named George Fales
and nobody would have picked him out
as a guy with wallop: but for a young
ster he had a good punch and wasn't
afraid to mix.
Up in Ripon, Wis, there was family
named Zero. One of the boys had a
detective agency at Oshkosh. and the
others were town terrors. AL Zero was
the town pug, and was wont to strut
the streets Of the little college town with
white flannel trousers with red stripe
running down the seam.
AL began to like himself pretty good as
a scrapper, and fitted up a little gym
nasium on the public square, where he
taught the boys how to master the manly
art. lie got real chesty about it, too. and
began issuing challenges-which is the
counterpart of pride, the goat that pa
rades before fall.
There was solemn-looking travelling
man (who sold undertakers' supplies) sit
ting at the ringside one night when Zero
was Iacing the turpentine out of rube.
1t aroused the ire of the drummer, and
he got up and made speech.
"Fero," he said in sepulchral tones,
"methinks you weigh about 10; am
right?'
"You arer' Zero replied. as he watched
the frantic fight of his yap adversary be-
tween rounds just to catch his breath.
Gould you lick boy of, say. l3o?
Tut, tut" Zero answered. lis mere
child's play. l fight men-not infants"
But l have any part of five hundred
bones to say this boy l have in mind can
wallop the daylights out of you in ten
rounds How about 1t
Zero never had five hundred at one time
in his life. but he had some hackers. and
they based their judgment on the con-
test before them.
The match was made, the money was
posted. and the solemn man of crepe and
caskets went back to the Cream city and
brought the glad tidings to George.
The little hall up in Ripon didn't hold
any terrible mob, but 1t was filled. 1t
was winner take all. including purse and
gate. 1t was worth while.
Zero strutted into the ring with the
importance OF Caesar and the federation
OF a saint. He felt that swipe or two
and the money was his.
When Fales ripped into the local pride
it was pity and shame-and also the
the gatling gun with uppercuts corkscrew
punches. jabs and swings and hooks. 1t
was all over in round one. with the
brides singing and the crowd silent al
though most Of them liked the result first
rate.
After AL had come out of it he looked
up at George. who was then donning
his clothes. and said: kid, you didn't

nesses of opposing teams and players
are discussed. The meeting this morn
ing took up Detroit.
Connie is not counting Detroit out OF
the race. He says:
at any stage Of the game. You can't
safely count them out OF 1t.
The Mackmen are up to their Old tflcKs
of stealing the opponents signals
In Cleveland day or so ago CHIEF
Bender stood on the third base line ana
tried to get the signals that were hasheo
to George kahler.
He was unsuccessful and he changed
his position to first base.
From there he could see and Cleveland
lost that day.
And though Bender wasn't pitching,
he was largely responsible for the VIC
tory.
