EDDIE JOHNSON IS THE.
PSYCHOLOGICAL Hope

Full may a time and oft we have
sat down before the old typewriter
TO tick off a tale, but seldom have
the KEYS of the old mill sounded let
ters of triumph-ever they seemed
to glibly glide into a gloomy grist
of words telling a story of the prize
fight game
On the battered plate of the vener-
able machine we see deeply imprint
ed in the rubber by the unduly smash
of heavy finger the name of John
ME Dunn. which calls to mind the
four fistic engagements in which this
sturdy boy emerged with the laureis.
There was a time when you could
just say Dunn to this rattletrap and
1t would start running off sheets of
copy about the achievements of the
local favorite.
new game will be on speaking
terms with the Underwoor family to-
day-the name of Eddie johnson
of Pueblo, scrapper and gentleman of
conversation. Ever meet Mr.. John
son? No? You shall know him bet
ter next Saturdy night If you feel
like Witnessing the merry ten-round
go.
The boxer from Colorado is plan
ming to disorganize Dunns pugilistic
aspirations. However a large por-
ton of the population in this neck
Of the woods maintain fixed residence
in Missouriyille. Missouri county,
Missouri.
Many time and oft pugilistic fan
eiers have witnessed the ruination OF
an opportunity to take the local fa-
yorite into camp, and heir efforts
have proven real annoying.
Johnson is Chambers physocho-
logical hope. The promoter of the
coming fistic attraction is confident
that he is going to pull off stunt
that will have the uneompromising
punch of a pile driver.
The Bio hall will be the scene of
the mixup. Ii the devotees of fistinia
have any other plans for beating
Dunn they are not discernible TO the
naked eye-not at the preseut writ
ing-not right this minute. He is a
hope--no. not hope, either, the
hope. Mr.. Johnson will resume op-
erations at the hoping business on
the eleventh month.
The place where the bout will be
staged has seating capacity of $50
nd Mr.. Chambers is confident that
there will be that many in attendance
when the gong brings the two welter-
weights together. Suffering subma-
rines. both boys are planning on an
ace high, straight flush finish. With
stout hearts, willing spirits and fight
ing instincts undaunted by fear that
comes to many men seeking the
trenches under fire. they will be on
hand with their death dealing misles.
Or perhaps, We are using a figure of
speech that Is not right. They will
not exactly be on hand-they will be
on foot on ankle, and soon.
oh, heckibus. oh. darnorium. or
bunkibus, cusserium.
But to get back to the goal post:
Interviewed. Dunn gave vent to the
following: He amt got nothing on
me. Watch me hand that JAZZ an
artistic trimming. / can lick any
thing from postage stamps to stick
candy. You can tell Johnson for me
that l am going to be As cordial as
a Frisco flea. Don't think I've gone
loco. when l say the bout is in right
now"
His newspaper statement should
read: II am confidence personifed.
My preparations are being made
along cautious lines. have no de-
sire to underestimate Johnson's abil-
ity as q ring general. intend to
impress the onfookers with my ag-
sreseiveueoe, ana cont be surprised
II you see my opponent lying supine
on the rasined floor before the con-
test Ia termined."
johnson got this out Of his system:
1T will be awfully awful, when I
get through with Dunn. Take this
from a guy who knows. It's dollars
to doughnuts that the fur will fly
when ! step inside the roped arena.
Did you everr see an elephant tread
Ion a peanut or a Baldwin locomo-
tive walk over a grarshopper? 4
