ORDERS EXCLUDE
JOHNSON FROM
ENGLISH SOIL

" UFFALO, n. Y. Feb. Boy
~ the terms Of a general order
issued by the Canadian gov
eminent to the immigration in
spectors at all border ports of the
Dominion. Jack Johnson, the pugi-
list, has been barred from admit
lance into Canada The official rea
son for this action is that Johnson.
who IS now said to be i'll of pneu-
monia in his home in Chicago has
been designated as an "undesir-
able" Under the Canadian immi-
grafton law Johnson is debarred
from entry by reason Of moral
turpitude"
Johnson endeavored to leave the
jurisdiction OF the United States
courts at Chicago a month ago. al
though under indictment for violat-
ing the Mann white slave" act, his
destination at the time being To
ronto. He was arrested at Battle
Greek. Mich, and returned to Chi
cago, his departure from the latter
city having been tipped off to the
United States authorities.
Johnson has two nigh powered,
expensive automobiles in Toronto
which We're shipped there in ad-
vance of his attempted flight from
the United States. It is intimated
at Toronto that communication
from the department Of justice at
Washington TO the Ottawa author
tiles resulted in the order prohibit
ing Johuson's entry into Canada.
At any rate, Johnson's arrest at
Battle Greek precipitated the order
for his exclusion. 1t is pointed out
that this is likely to have the eff
feet OF barring Johnson from land
ing anywhere on British soil, which
makes heavyweight white hope"
supertluous.
The Canadian order against
Johnson, it appears. Kill him in a
sporting sense in any Anglo Saxon
country. whether he be convicted
on being placed on trial at Chicago
next week or not.
The action Of the Dominion au-
thorities is in response to public
sentiment throughout Canada

Accident Policy of
100000 Taken 0ut
By Giants on McGraw

hIEW YORK, Feb. 25.-John j.
~ McGraw, manager of the
Giants. who is reported to
receive the highest salary ever
paid a baseball manager. has just
been distinguished along another
line. The New York National
league club has taken out an acct
dent policy for 100000 on the Lit
tie Napoleon. Not another man sc
lively engaged in the pastime car
ries such a heavy policy
Secretary John Is. Foster. OF the
Giants. yesterday afternoon made
the announcement of AIcGraw's
record policy.
I'VE carry heavy blanket insur-
ance on the rank and file of our
athletes said F'oster. In the case
of McGraw. however. we figured
somewhat differently. He had just
signed for five years at a greater
salary than that paid to any other
man in the game proving that the
New York club fully appreciates his
value
In case Of some unexpected ac-
cident, which would deprive the
Giants of McGraw's services for
ever, it would take at least the full
face value OF the policy to provide a
competent successor. Figure it out
any way you wish and the policy
can not be considered unusual in
the light of McGraw's value.
All of which cheers the soul of
Christy Mathewson, the insurance
broker who landed this prize risk.
The sta" pitcher of the champion
Giants is Just as good an Insurance
agent as he is d pitcher. But not
every day does q 100000 policy fail
into his NAV.

qualified second but was beaten
in the second round. During the
same year he broke the record Of
the Tuscumbia course and thus
won his first prize. a cup which oc-
cupies 81 prominent place among his
trophies. The following season he
went again to Tuscumbia and put
