JOHNSON EXPLAINS
REFUSAL To FIGHT
Fears HOld-up If He Goes to
Mexico; Cannot Afford to
Lose the Money
Special TO The Telegraph

El PaSo, Tex, March .. An en-
tirely different angle is put on Jack
Johnsons present attitude regarding
the HaVana-JuareZ-E Paso contro-
versy by private letter received from
the black champion.
Johnson never at any time was wor-
ried about the means that were Sc
lected to get him into Mexico and up
through the rebellion cursed country.
What he was chiefly concerned in was
how he was to get out of Mexico with
his $4,000 after the fight with Jess
Willard.
The champion felt satisfied. he said
in his letter, which was dated at the
Barbados, Il. w. l., that he could get
into Mexico without anything but the
loss of a lot of time.
But it appears that n lot of people
have told him things about conditions
in the northern section of the republic
This got him to thinking. He figured
out that if he was paid off on the Mexi-
can side he would either have to send
the money into the United States with
some trusted friend, or run a big risk
of being held up on his way out
1t was a tough proposition and
Johnson could not fathom it.. That's
why he did not come to Juarez and bat
tie Willard. At least this is the inti-
nation in his letter.

NEW YORK YANKEES
ANXIOUS FOR BAKER
Offer Big Price to Connie Mack;
Nothing Doing, Says Athletic
Leader
Special to The Telegraph

New York, March Eff Connie
$25,000 for ]. Franklin Baker. This
offer was made yesterday by Jacob
Rupert, Jr., of the New York Yam
KEGS yesterday. The Athletic leader
says his star is not for sale and New
York Americans cannot have him If
they offered four times as much.
Mr.. Rupert is anxious to obtain the
services of the Athletics third base
man, feeling that the addition of
Baker will add considerable batting
strength to the Yankee team, but he
declared that unless Mack accepted
the Yankees offer as it now stands,
there will be no deal.
Should Mack reconsider his decision,
Colonel Rupert will be ready to offer
Baker salary of $4,000. That
amount he feels certain will bring
Baker back out of his announced re-
tirement. The negotiations for Bakers
services, according to Colonel Rup-
pert, were started at the suggestion of
Bill Donovan, the Yankees new
manager.
Local fans are not giving up hope
that Baker will yet come here this
season. They feel that the other
American League club owners may
prevail upon Mack to accept the offer
of the new Yankee owners and that if
n cash deal cannot be agreed upon an
amended offer involving Fritz"
Maizel, the Yankee third baseman,
and n cash consideration may bring
about suitable adjustment of the
deal

Special to The Telegraph

Washington, March 2.-Manager A.
j. Williams, of the Washington and
Jefferson college baseball team, has ar
ranged to install an automatic baseball
pitcher in the gymnasium cage, to de-

the same wonderful prowess that char
acterized his cousin when a college
twirler.

STUDENTS TO MAKE

an admission charged.
Tt would mean the wiping out of
athletics at the local high schools
should Island Park be made a free
playground. High school sports, es-
pecially football, would be out OF the
question without enclosed grounds.
There was an awakening to-day to the
fact that Harrisburg is not only likely
to be without Tri-State baseball, but
football games and other sports as
well.
DIR. Eager Gets Busy
DIR. Charles B. Eager, Jr., OF the
Technical High school was the first
to enter a protest and he was rather
surprised to learn of the serious re-
salts contemplated. He announced his
intention to get busy at once and ar
range for a meeting.
In addition to the protest a commit
tee will be appointed to act Jointly
with a committee from Central high
school, and try to lease Island Park
for a term of years until some arrange
ment can be made TO secure grounds
elsewhere.
Prof Bertam w. Saul, of Central
high schoo1 was also emphatic in his
disapproval of the efforts to kill base
ball and other sports in Harrisburg.
gested by DR.. Eager, and would try to
have a meeting of the Athletic Asso-
citation to-day or tomorrow
Both high schools have booked their
games at Island Park for the football
season. Tech has also arranged to
play a number of baseball games
there, and the contract for the annual
game between Bucknell and Gettys-
burg football teams has been com
pleted. Taking the lease of Island
Park out of tho hands of the Pennsyl-
vania Exhition Company, and max
ing 1t a free park would make all con-
tracts for this year impossible.
