and 1t is said that Jimmy Johnston,
the new manager of the st. Nicholas
A. c., has practically clinched the
match. Johnston has been in tele-
graphic communication with Langford,
and the Tar Baby it is said, has
agreed to fight Jeanette Joe, of
course, is always willing, but Sam
would much rather meet someono
else. But there is no one else in
sight who would seem to be match
for sam. unless it be Jeff Clark, the
Philadelphia Ghost" or Jim john
son. who has given Jeanette just
about as good as Joe could send.

A Langford- Jeanette fight would
revive aslot of white hope talk and
that is about the best boost the game
has had in years If sufficient inter-
est could be aroused to have Jack
Johnson take chance with his title,

come back into possession of the
championship. A victory for one over

bout might mean that johnson would
meet the successful one in Europe.
Presuming, for argument sake, that
Johnson would be beaten, then there
would be high hopes that we would
be able to dig up some big white fell
low who could beat either Langford
/ or Jeanette, both of whom, along
with Johnson, are very close to passe
stage. 1t may take some time to
bring the situation around, but the
time will come, just as sure as you're
alive. as the boys say.
