What's become Of old Jack John
SOM queries some one in the sport
ing world every now and then.
Yes, what has become of the Big
Smoke?" some one else remarks in
differently.
Those who remember John Arthur
in the days when he was the cham
pion heavyweight fighter Of the world
and Jack was in all his glory until
April last-frequently have speculated
as to whether the huge negro is down
and out, or whether he is still swag-
gering around somewhere with that
golden smile" of his and that half
arrogant, half-childish grin he used to
wear. They have wondered not
too interestedly-if Jack still was
leading a fried-chicken- and-racing-
automobile life, or whether he was
down to ham bones and street cars.
Well, if anybody really want to
know where Jack Johnson is and
what he's doing. here's the answer:
He is a volunteer recruiting agent
| for the British army. and Just at pres
ent he's trying to interest the youth OF
GLASGOW, Scotland. in the proposition
of donning khaki and going out TO fight
the Germans.
| Jack has big white automobile
still has his white wife with him and
is playing profitable vaudeville en-
gagements throughout Great Britain
He is doing his recruiting work on the
side-and, of course, the publicity be
