j Johnson fGtlFcS from tiie ring lapot
Day, as he has said he will. who will
be champion Of the world?
-BnxING FAN.
Answer. Jack Johnson.
The public will recognize no ether
until some white man comes along
and gives johnson what Johnson gave
Jim Jeffries. or gets All admission that
the newcomer is able TO do it.
Tommy Burns cannot succeed to
the title, aud Sam Langford and Joe
Jeanette will not be tolerated Jim
Flynn, Bomhardier Wells. Al PalZer
and all the other white hopes will
have to fight 1t out among themselves.
Palxer appears to have the call. he
has made up with Tom O Rourks, and
while the latter has not the greatest
reputation in the world as sports
man. ne can, and does, handle prize
fighters I'm the most approved style.
When he cannot use persuasion he
uses a club,
Retiring and handing over cham
piansh!ps has seldom led to a satis-
factory settlement of the question. Jim
gorhett retired and tried 10 hand
the championship 70 Steve O'Donnell.
one Of the cleVerest boxers VINO ever
donned a glove, Peter Msher put
Steve away with one wallop and Cor
bot had 20 take his title back again.
Tommy Burns is the only man who
got away with the title as the result
Of the retirement Of the acknowledged
champion. and even his claim was
looked upon as that Of q pretender.
Jcnrics gave the championship away
to the winner If The Jack Root
Marvin Hart bout. Hart got the de-
cisiau and last 10 Tommy Burns, @he
beat Jack o Brien. who had beaten
old Bob fNitZsimmons, ana had some
sort Of claim to recognition. But all
the nile Jeffrles was regarded as the
real hampton, Until Jack Johnson de-
featsd him at Reno. that memorable
July {. 1919.
Barns was regarded as the best Of
hest of them ali outside of Jeftries.
all the boxing fraternity, was regard
ed an the real champion Johnson's
title was not considered bona fide until
ne had whipped James L Jeffries. Ii
Is safe to say that the next recognized
champion Will have to lick johnson,
in or out Of the ring.
Mr.. Dooley says that the only
reason one man is champion is he
cause someone else doesn't take II
sway from him. Some day husky
white man with confidence as well as
skill! with his hands will give Jack
johnson what Johnson gave Jeffries,
If Jack can he lured into the ring
after he "retires."
