had not known before that
Switzerland and the Swiss were
strong for the boxing game. If 1 re-
member correctly, enough, Bat Nell
son once said sOmmething about Ad
WOlgaSt being a cheese champion.
While Johnson has been deprived OF
his title by regular parliamentary
procedure, the sports in this country
viii hardly take the verdict of the
Il. 3. l." seriously. Still at the same
time the future must look rather
gloomy to Mr.. Johnson. Barred in
this country by jail sentence and
popular sentiment as well, not wanted
in England or Australia, and finally
given the gate in France, the cham
piOn" is getting his in punches.
Judging by the many imitation
fighters who have posed as American
champions in France in the past, and
what's more got away with it,
thought the sports over there would
stand for most anything IN the line
of pUgilism- But it looks as If there
is a limit and in this particular in
stance it stops at the bounds of COM
mon decency.
Nearly everywhere boxing is per-
mitted under the laws, the bars have
been put up for Johnson It may be
that he viii have to come back here
after all And if he serves out his
sentence it might happen, if he takes
his medicine like a man, that he may
in the course of events be allowed to
defend his title rights here in the
L. S. a.

Speaking of fighters who like to
show their wares before foreigners,
advices reaching me lately are not OF
the sort which would encourage the
youth of the country to pack up and
cannot a boxer but one who follows
the sport closely-tellS me that our
boys are not getting any money worth
while in Paris. Even Jeff Smith who
recently boxed Georges Carpenter, the
French idol, drew down very little
coin although the house" was a big
one. The French have always been
celebrated for their thrift and tight
end of every match he engages in,
SO my correspondent informs me-
Danny McKettrick has a big stable
on the other side at the present time
with some real talent in it, too. Joe
Jeanette is among the bunch, so IS
Frank Moran, and this pair looks good
enough to clean up everything IN the
heavy weight line they have in Eu-
rope. But McKettrick has not yet
in finding work for his big
fellows Leaving here Dan said
Moran had been matched with John
son and that Jeanette was to box Sam
LangfOrd at an early date The stable
has been over there about a month
and the only member to get a match is
Young Ahearn, and he is not very
much as some hitherto unknown
French welter-weight put him out in
Is rounds.
McKettrick is thought to have a
fair bank account made out OF the
lighters he took abroad when the
game was soft, and if he is willing to
Zig into it and keep the stable in
eats" until something turns up IL may |
De he viii get his investment back.

Still in the face of the bad reports |
rom abroad George Chip says he is I
going to France. However. Chip [
stands a better chance than the I,
lverage visiting boxer of getting the /
money. He beat Frank Klaus and 4
frank was one of the Americans who /
stood well with the Parisians. When /
Klaus beat Papke and trimmed Car +,
Dentier he established his class and /
he man who beat him in turn is /
ure of a warm welcome
Eddie McGOOrty is another boxer /
Il class and reputation who an I
lounces a foreign campaign Only /
eddie Will hike in a different direc- /
ion from Chip which kills whatever 1
hances may have existed for a meet
ng of that pair in the near future
With McGOorty's inclination to pack /
n weight, to Judge by Billy Papke's /
nd others experiences in Australia,
