NAME CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE
Yankee Boxer In London 10 Detained
by English Officials, Accused
Of Being German Spy.

The kaiser is now In pretty bad
with Johnny Schiff. the tow.headed
featherweight, who is boxing In Lon.
don.
BY reason of his German name,
Johnny was accused OF being a spy
and was detained by the English of.
fcials. Whereu1on Johnny came back
at the British foreign Office by proving
that his real name Is not Johnny Schiff
at all, but Porter Newman. He was
released. Henceforth. In England at
least, he boxes under the name of
Porter Newman.
Johnny got the name of Schiff In a
peculiar way. While still little boy, he
went out into the world seeking ad.
venture and achievement. After going
to sea as a cabin boy, he wound up in
San Francisco cafe, selling cigars.
His employers were firm named
Schiff. and on his cap was embroidered
the firm name The customers did not
know his name, SO when they wanted
him they hollered, Hey, there, Schiff."
The name thereafter stuck.
