WRITER
GlsILLS JOHNSON


The following from the pen of
well known New York sporting writer
will give some idea of the chance any
promoter would have to stage Jack
Johnson in a fight in this country
l. is safe to say that this expresses
the sentiment of the men who write
boxing to a man:
when Jack Johnson sneaked over
into Canada there wasn't a person
acquainted with him, including his
lawyer, but who was convinced the
burly black was making getaway.
never to return to the United States
if he could avoid doing so. If there
is one thing Johnson breads, ii Is
confinement in prison. The very
thought of paying the penalty for
trafficking in women made a moral
and physical coward of the worlds
champion pugilist, and everybody who
knows him even in the slightest de-
gree, felt he would make his escape
if ever he got the chance.
To-day he is in France laughing at
American laws and the fool author
tiles that let him get away. Johnson
is disgrace to his race, and to the
boxing game. 1t was the saddest
thing that ever happened to the ring
when this ignorant, bestial black con-
quered Tommy Burns, to lord 1t over
white men.
He is an object to be Stunned by
every man and woman like leper.
His place is in Jail, and there it is
sincerely to be hoped he will fetch up.
In the meantime any club in Europe
that gives him an opportunity to fight
is as great disgrace as the degener-
ate and libertine himself.
Before this vicious and deprave1
specimen of man is permitted to pa
rade himself in the role of defender of
the worlds championship this law of
the nation should be applied to pre-
vent such an exhibition"

dust on the diamond and the jumps

strikes across on Taylor when a reg

players back to the grandstand ani
within a minute converting the
grounds into mudhole. The game
was called but it was some rinne be-
fore the crowd could leave The anel-
ter of the grandstand, for most Of
the fans had left their coats behind
them.
The game started out like a good
one. Big Chief Gordon was hopping
them over for the Yakima Braves and
Jameson was doing the hurting act
for the Buckarooes. jamie showed
better form than he has for long
time and retired the Yaks in ore, two
three order. Pendleton got men OF
second and third in the first inning
with the assistance of a couple Of er-
rors, hit by Haworth and a steal,
but there were two down and Dean,
the new outfielder, flew out. In the
second Osborne, who was playing
second, made his way to the second
bag when Netzel threw the ball away
but Fords catch of Jamiesou's foul
after long run retired the side.
Augustus was out of the game yes
terday, Captain Lodell refusing to al
low him to play because he quit prac-
ticing during the warm-up period.
Augie complained of being sick and
the cap ruled that if he was too sick
to practice, he was too sick to play.
Osborne was on short, King on third.
Dean in left field and Reid in right.
