San Francisco, Oct. HAS anybody
here seen Kelly?
K. F. double L. Y.
They say Jack Johnson is singing
this song with much feeling back in
Chicago just now. Possibly he is ac-
companying himself on the Bull fiddle
an instrument from which the cham
pion, by applying the soft pedal to his
uppereuts and down chops, is able t.
extract the most plaintive music.
The particular Kelly Johnson is IN
quiring about is w. c. ]. Kelly, VINO
arrived in this country several weeks
ago as special envoy from Fight
Promoter Hugh Mcintosh of Australia.
kelly's mission, it is understood, l.
to engage Johnson for series of glove
contests, under McIntosh's direction at
the Rushcutter's Bay stadium, near
Sydney Kelly was empowered to Offer
Johnson $4,000 for bouts with Lang
ford and McVea and was so we'll equip
ped with funds that he was in po-
sition to place $4,000 confidence money
at Johnson's call in a Chicago bank.
Is it any wonder Jack is looking for
him
But to proceed
When Kelly reached Chicago the
worlds champion was mourning the
death of his wife and Kelly thought
it best not approach his business, but
leave Johnson alone with his sorrow
for a couple of weeks.
Kelly went on to New York and
Johnson took occasion to remark that
he would be quite ready to enter into
a deal when Kelly returned.
1t may be that Johnson was slightly
overanxious in the connection and that
Kelly noticed it. This is to be in
ferred from the fact johnson said he
would welcome any proposition that
would afford him any chance to travel
and fight and forget his troubles.
Kelly was due in Chicago several
days ago, but Johnson has neither
heard from nor seen him. The Aus
tralian envoy has vanished so COM
pletely that Louis Parente's record for
sudden disappearance has been practi-
cally eqUaled.
1t may be, of course that K. E.
double L. Y. is in Chicago all this time
and is lying low and keeping Johnson
on the anxious seat. In view of john
sons prediction for retiring at ir-
regular intervals, Kelly had better not
remain under cover too long. If ne
fails to connect with johnson when
the latter is in the right mood, he may
find when he does put in an appearance,
that Johns desire for travel has pass
ed. 1t is a rare thing for Jack to re-
main in the one frame of mind for a
whole week.
