NEGRO FIGHTERS RECORD is A
LONG. BAD ONE. HAD HARD
4uAFE GETTING A START.
nv W. J. McConaughty.)


stupid-looking black, in the tow OF a
round little gray-haired white man,
was hunting the Offices of the sport
INC writers. The black man was
humble and hungry. He could not
get any white man to offer him mon
ev to fight another negro. The white
man. sam Fitzpatrick, told the sport
ing editors pathetic stories of his
efforts to make money through the
prowess of the mighty negro.
There was no doubt that he had a
ease, and he lived on borrowed mon
CIV and took his big burly darby all
around the world, borrowing money
10 nav expense, until at last the white
champion was cornered on the edge
of Australia and went into battle.
Immediately thereafter a new fig
pre appeared in the news columns.
In place of the humble and respecta-
HE negro Champion Jack Johnson
sprang forward with a new wardrbe
and diamonds in his teeth and more
diamonds on his fingers and shirt
bosom. He told the white man who
made him prosperous that he had no
further use for him He married
degenerate white woman and return
ed to this country to the horde OF
lesser parasites that prey on the sub
PARASITES of the Johnson type, re-
gardIess of race, color or previous
condition of servitude.
Rush of Prosperity.
These completed the work that the
sudden rush of prosperity had start
ed. and the glorying of marrying a
white woman, however soiled, had
furthered He had more money, made
in few hours a year, than any OF
his race or millions of the dominant
race could hope to earn in lifetime
And this money was in the hands of a
stunted child of the world, thick
Tipped, dull-brained, fattery-loving
brute-the model and finished prod
uct of the sport that inculcates the
spirit of manliness and fair play into
the youth of our cities. -
His future life was easy to fore
cast. In intelligence he is one small
degree removed from an ape, and he
aped all the rottenness Of white men
who gain large sums easily and spend
them eyilly. His first care was to de-
velop a taste for champagne, because
''rich white men drink it." He
bought an auto and rode over the
speed laws of every city where he
appeared, because it was quite the
thing for the rich to drive autos along
streets and highways in defiance OF
the efforts of the community to pro-
tect life and limb. He bought &c.
600 diamond necklace abroad and
perjured himself before the custom
officers to get it in free of duty. Don't
all our society people do that?
White Wife a Suicide.
He was as good or better than any
body else socially and financially. Ev-
erybody about him told him so. The
unwritten law of race segregation
that intelligent negroes, for the
peace of our race, hold as sacred as
the whites, was not for him. Wash t
he the champion prize fighter of the
world, and hadn't the other cham
pion prize fighters disgraced them
selves to their hearts content with
white women? When his white wife
committed suicide and he seemed to
have some difficulty in getting anoth-
er white wife he brazenly abducted a
white girl.
He had been arrested about thirty
five times. No one knows the exact
number He had served two or three
Jail sentences. He has abducted white
women and assaulted little negroes.
He has said that he doesn't think
much of the United States, and has
renuonced his allegiance. He has
tried to kill witnesses who dared APP
pear against him in his various legal
troubles and has contracted all sorts
of debts without the slightest idea of
ever paying.
He tried to send his own brother
to the penitentiary and explained
that this was brother love-" and
there is no case on record where he
has ever shown the slightest graft
tude for the help that was given him
in the lean day when he was often
hungry Contracts, written or YER
bal, were forgotten the moment he
