the game delight to heap on the players.
There is a growing suspicion that Jack
Johnaon's show against Jim Flynn will
be his last unless Dame Fortune should
turn on him later and take away the.
substance he has gathered together in
the last three years. Johnson Is thirty
four years of age and the sun must be
setting on his physical prime. Added to
this is the fact that he intends turning
publican shortly. Whatever Time has
overlooked is pretty apt to be taken care
of by John Barleycorn. Only necessity
will drive him into the ring after July
4. and that doesn't seem imminent now.
Besides. Johnson does not like fighting.
He has persistently sidestepped oppor-
tunities to engage in battle against men
with real chance to beat him-men OF
his own race.
There is scarcely a doubt that johnson
fears Sam Langford. Every inducement
has been offered to get the champion
to enter the ring with jeanette, Landlord
or McVey, but the golden smile Is al
ways the prelude to a negative when the
question is raised.

Mr.. j. T. Meany, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir: You are authorized on behalf
of the Olympic committee to solicit funds
for the purpose of sending a team OF
American athletes to the Olympic games,
to be held at Stockholm, Sweden, in June
and July.
On the financial support received from
the lovers of athletic sports depends the
strength of the team that will represent
this country, and repet ton Of the VIC
tories of 1896, 1900. 1904, 1908, in which
this country each time won first place.
Yours very truly, A. II. CURTISS,
Chairman Finance Committee.
The interhgh school track meet will be
held tomorrow. The event will take place
at the Maryland Agricultural College. 1t
is probable that but three schools will be
represented, Western, Technical and Cen
trail. Business and Eastern are not likely
to send out teams.
1t is not likely that the time in any of
the events will be very fast, as the two
or three days rain that has taken place
will probably cause to be soft and
heavy. The performances should be very
creditable, though, judging by what was
done last week.
1t is a certainty that Central will land
