up is one that Is to be considered. And then
the question arises: How far has the negro
gone back? Is he out OF condition and to-
tally unfit TO put up championship fight
as has been reported half a dozen times
Has there been any real Improvement in the
last year In the ability Of Moran. who only
year ago was q second rate white hope -
Certain it Is that II Moran hasn't improved
much over what he was a year ago he will
have a mighty slim chance against Johnson,
even II johnson has receded a considerable
distance from where he was when ne fought
Jeffries.
Always Has Been Giddy.
Considerable stress is being laid On the
fact that johnson has led a fast and siddy
life since he became a champion Yet he
was quite as giddy young blade tefnro he
won the championship as ne mas been since.
The fact that II IS not generally OWE IS
simply bee use IN the days before he became
a champion he was given scarce notice in
the newspapers and his personal doInfs
weren't chronicled as far and as wide as
they have been since. OF course. johnson
is ! bit older than he was in 1910. And age
hasn't helped him. nor has his dissipation
helped him But the main question is:
Has Johnson gone so far back III four

Saturday; Betting Is SLoW
Few Days May Bring About Cancellation of Bout Is Be
lief or, Even if Staged, 1t May Not Be Real Battle
Many Believe It Will Be Frameup or Slaagh-
ter of Moran if Johnson Is in Fair Shape.
BY FRANK G. nrENKE.

FEW YORK June z4.-This is TO re-
~ mind those who care to be reminded
that J johnson. an ebony hued per
son formerly OF the T. S. A.. and
Francis Moran, who comes from Pittsburg,
are scheduled TO stage fight on June y in
Many things may happen during the next
few days to bring about a cancellation Of
this much talked OF bout Who can say that
johnson during that period Will not be
pinched for auto speeding. smoking in the
subway, treason, arson piracy or sneezing
into the face Of a Paris policeman
And Francis. too, must be considered as a
possibIe-even probable cause-of calling of
gladiator may experience a sudden change
OF heart and also Of foot temperature before

all that. but brave as he Is he must feel
he must dare what so few have dared-get

but only about two percent OF the general

percent Of the remaining IS think the bout

It will be a slaughter with johnson doing
the butchering-
This proposed Johnson-AIoran affair has
caused about as much discussion as any
fight since the negro grabbed the crown
from Jeffries. So many things are to be
considered in an attempt to dope" out the
result that the betting fraternity is baffIed

piled a record Of ten games won out Of

That Jack Johnson likes glory too
