JOHNSON WILLARD?
NOT IN CUBA'-RICE
Never Will Allow Mixed Bout,
Says Leading Sportsman
Of Havana. Here.
BLACKS VS.. BLACKS ONLY

Capt. Cushman A. Rice OF Havana.
the Cuban sportsman who will become
president of the new National Sporting
club of Cuba. arrived in New York
last night. When seen at the Army
and Navy Club Capt. Rice said
Things have stirred a bit since !
came away. Jack Johnson landed the
day ] departed. | understand Curley
has left Juarez for Cuba with the idea
OF either getting Johnson out for
Juarez or OF going in with tho Cuban
promoters on a Johnson-Willard fight
Now. let me say for myself as well
as every man of means on the island
that a bout between Jack johnson and
Jess Willard will not be tolerated for
a single moment.
THE race question is too delicate a
subject TO ever allow a White man TO
battle with "A negro. our interests are
too valuable to allow the ilaines of
race feeling TO be famed into "A RIOT.
I will leave for cuba in a day or so
and II | lind that they propose TO pitch
a battle ground for the pair ! Will
rally all the powerful interests at my

We tolerate mixed bouts. Two colored
men can fight IL out to their hearts con-
tent, SO can the whites, but mixed

hat.
The Cuban negro doesn't want II,

OF an individual from your negro OF
the South. Whites and blacks fought
D sidA hr SiIa AGAINST Sn4in for tlplr
ideas Of liberty. He's not DISTINGUISHED
down there. lie votes and he votes as
often as he can. which is not unlike a
lot OF voters l know.
" want a wide open Havana. but
we want II straight and clean. | would
be one OF the first 10 aid a PROPOSE
ton to build "A Monte carlo there.
That's us. Let the leisure class spend
their money If they want to. Bar those
who can't afford It.
We've got some wonderful clubs
there-greater than any you rave in
New York. They've just completed the
Galliago Club there at a cost OF
$4,000. 900. They have the creates
dance floor in the world in that club.
$500 couples being able TO aance on
It at one time. The Dependencies or
Clerks Club OF $4,000 members has u
dance floor that will accommodate l,l0o
couples.
