COUNCIL WASTES
 LITTLE TIME

Tae town council held the sec ond regular meeting for November lass Monday night, and 1t only took thirty five minutes for the city dads to transact the business that was up for immediate attention.

 The only bill to come before the meeting was that of the Aiasaka General Electric company for phone service for the month of November amounting to $500 which was al- lowed.
 The matter of the gasoline stored at the approach to the wharf be- longing to Martin ItjeR came up for discussion, and as 1t was tho general cousensus- of opinion that should 8 fire break out in that geo. tion, the oil would spread over 'he t,ae land and cause conflagration' it was decided to leave the matter up rJ the committee on public works and pul lie property to gee that the ordinance prohibiting the storage of gasoline within the city limits be enforced.

OF mummy just received from Egypt.
Raymond Owen, his rascally private
secretary, helps lift off the front of
the case, but leaves old Mr.. Marvin to
remove the mummys bandages alone
Marvin during fainting spell, sees
the half-exposed mummy come to life,
step out of her case, take bracelet
from her wrist and try to force it into
his hands, while her lips reveal a
strange message from the remote past.
Restored to consciousness by Harry
and Pauline, the old man believes it

skeleton wrist. He promises Pauline
one year to see life and places her in

renowned their usual expression of

glazing at those he sought to harm.

abrupt in the manner of one less love-
ly.

said. Il am sure-at least I think l

Has Jess Willard a Chance
TO Win From Jack johnson?

Those who retain a memory of less

hard to con1ure up picture OF the
stllt-legged, scared-eyed Kansan max
ing real light against the Dubious
black champion at Havana Monday.
he may do 1t, Of course. Willard
may go tearing into Johnson at the
tap of the gong with all the fury of
an exasperated giraffe, which is
species of evaporation we have never
observed, but which Is the only smile
we can think of i'll connection with
willard, exasperated or otherwise;
but If he does-if Willard does this
thing-he will be going contrary to all
the laws of that beneficent nature
which intended him to be just large,
strong. healthy specimen of humanity
with no traits of violence.
He may do it, all right, and we hope
he does, for it would be an imposing
spectacle, but it is hard to brush away
the recollection OF Jess's singularly
mild and inoffensive countenance,
with his mouth gaping wide in fool
ish grin as his glovcd hands fumbled
futilely, before him as If to ward off
an attack without any resentment
which is our chief recollection of the
jayhawker In the role of q fighting
man.
1t is hard to brush away that re-
collection, and to replace it with a
mental photo of this gangling, awk-
ward string of humanity charging
boldly up against the great black
barrier to the hopes of our well-known
white race known as John Arthur
johnson.
Here you have a hastily manu-
featured. practically inexperienced fell
low flashing out with wild wallops at
one of the greatest opponents of de-
fensive fighting that the ring has ever
known; a fighter who has behind him
years and years of fistic warfare;
finished phase of the Marquis OF
Queensberry code, turned and polished
IN the mill of his craft, and yet we
are expected to believe that the novice
has chance.
We are not only expected to be-
lieve it. but. speaking for ourself, we
do believe Ito certain extent We
believe it because we believe that the
law of the prize ring is against the
champion. Itis history that fighting
man. no matter how good he may be
in the days OF his youth, can't travel
far beyond SO before he bows down
beneath the burden of life-especially

Jack johnson, 81 Today, Is Nearing
the Aae Limit.


Jack johnson will celebrate his
thirty-seventh birthday today Every
year on the thirty-first of March, the
big dinge" celebrates q birthday, and,
while none O. US white folks run up
the flag or make the welkin ring with
our jubflation, the event has certain
Joyous significance. We may regret
for our own sake that Daddy Time is
such persistent cuss, but we can find
consolation in the fact that Jack John
son is also growing older, and that we
may live to-see the day when he will
be white-haired-or would be IL he
had any hair-and tottering beneath
the weight of years. Then, perhaps,
the white race will have a chance to
recover it's lost laurels.
In the FitZsimmons case the New
York boxing commission decided that
40 is the age limit for f1sttc knights,
and. under that ruling, Johnson has
but three years to go. In the mean
time. of course, much may happen, and
then, again, much may not. OF course,
Johnson may relinquish his crown to
another African, but this case where
any change is for the best. The pugi-
listic world is suffering from too much
Johnson.
If the smoke" retains the cham
pionship five days longer he will have
equalled the best modern age record
for heavyweight title holders. Bob
Fitzsimmons was five days past his
thirty-seventh birthday when Jim JET
fries took the pugilistic honors away
from ham. No other heavyweight
champion of the Queensberry era has
come anywhere near the record of
Johnson and Fftz Jeffries was. SO,
when he was defeated by johnson,
and had retired some years before.
Corbett lost the big title when he was
80. and Sullivan was nearing his thirty
fourth birthday when Corbett gave
him his quietus in New Orleans.
Among the older school OF Amrei-
can champions, Paddy Ryan was de-
feated at the age OF 20, and Tom
Allen at SO. Joe Goss was Al when
he lost TO Paddy Ryan in the memoir
able S7-round battle In West Virginia.
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-03-31

At that time. however, Goss vas only
claimant OF the American title. and
had never been generally recognized
as champion.
Among the old-timers Of the British
ring the champion OF 40 was not so
rare as now. although even then few
men were at their best at Johnson's
present age. Altogether and by large
ii seems that Jack must soon take the
count from Father Time.
Colored champions, as a rule, have
not lasted very long. Joe Walcott was
an exception for the Barbados Demon
was past "a when he lost the weller
weight title, and his passing as a ring
star was more due to the accidental

shooting of hole through one of his
hands than to the ravages OF time.
George Dixon lost the title OF feather
weight champion at 80. and Joe Cans
was SO when Battling Nelson took
his measure. Peter jackson was all
in at 80. Tom Molineaux, the famous
American negro fighter of century
ago. was an early victim OF dissipa-
