1t remained for Johnson to so inten-
sify the color prejudice that GShts be-
tween blacks and whites are forbidden
in many states and probably will be
all over the country. This phase of the
question, however, probably gives
Johnson very little concern, not nearly
so much as the fact that he is PERSONA
non grata on both stage" and ring and
must go to work soon if he wants to
eat.
Johnny Lore would like to hnx Tom

But Tommy has his eyes on d chance
to fight for the lightweight title and
isn't likely to waste any time il small
er matches as long as Ritchie is on
the map. Murphy has been very sue

1t looks now as If the International
lightweight championship battle be-
tween Willie Richie and Freddie Walsh,
which was scheduled to be fought at
Vancouver, B. c., on September 20, will
not take place there, but instead the
men may be matched to meet for 10
rounds at the Garden Athletic club,
on or about that date. They were to
have posted their forfeit for the con-
test yesterday, bat Harry Pollock man
ager for Welsh, failed to put up his
money and Richie thereupon declared
that unless Pollock did so today and
Jim Griffith of San Francisco consent
ed to referee the battle that he would
declare the bout off.
Griffin has already sent word to the
managers of both fighters that he will
not oHiciate in the contest, which
means that the mill Is off. AS Billy
Gibson has been sending kilograms to
the fighters Offering them a big per-
centage of the gross receipts to box at
Madison Square Garden 1t Is almost cer-
tain that they will accept.
Why is 1t that when prize fighter
receives an injury which is fatal there.
is great hue and cry and the sport
gets black eye? Prize figtins is no
pink tea business and the man who
enters the game must expect to be
hurt.
As matter of fact the percentage
of fatalities in the ring is extremely
small in comparison with the lines of
sports.
If man is accidentally killed in
any of the lines of sports there are
no arrests, no charges of mansiaughter,
and no sensation of the sport. Why
should it be so in boxing?

Of white clay Of extraordinary light

Kowates was noted in Pesth for his
skill In carving. and Count Andrassy
took his chunk Of light white clay to
him and said;
Make. fellow. something pretty out
Of this"
The ingenious Kavol. a great smok.
er, thought that the porousness Of the
white clay adapted 1t we'll for pipes.
and accordingly he made two from 1t,
one for himself and one for Count
Andrassy.
The pipes were charming. and they
smoked superbly. The fame OF them
spread. In course Of time meerschaum
mining and meerschaum pipe making
became two Of the recognized indus.
