He will arrange" them all right,

Johnson Is a physical wreck. The
press and public had ocular proof OF
the fact at Las Vegas, and since
then. his closest cronies have admitted
that the once powerful negro was a
mere shell in his fiasco with Jim
Flynn.
Since then he has had experiences
which must have meant keen mental
suffering to him, no matter how case
hardened and defiant he might try to
appear He has gone through enough
TO break any man down, and as he
was already broken down before his
troubles began his present condition
can be guessed at.
WHATEVER boxing contests"
w johnson may figure in will
scarcely be regarded as sporting
| events. They will be hippodromes
of the worst order, and they will
bring discTedit on the heavyweights
who assist him
He says Sam Langford will be one
Of his opponents. Well Sam has just
finished a series OF SIX - eight
"hghts' with Sam McVea IN Aus

to the boxing game than the Antip-

pugilstic comedy Johnson and Lang

There was TO be big gilt cross on the

could not understand the star. They
inquired. The architect said the kaiser
bad added the star to the plans.
The plans were examined. Then 1t
was found. that In revising them the
kaiser had let fall drop of ink from
his pen, which hit the paper just above
the cross. The architect studied long
time over this blot OF ink. There could
be no appeal. no inquiries. He finally
decided that the blot Of ink signifed a
star above the cross. and he put the
star there. making 1t to correspond as
nearly as possible with the outline Of
the blot The star is still there.
