bat. The Vol pitcher would have walked
Bris as usual, only for the fact that the
sacks were full and there a nothing
else to do but let him hit.
The right field fence is held up by
some stobs, Lord took a couple Of cuts
at the ball, and on the third pitch he
met the pellet squarely and away to-
ward right field 1t went The ball
looked good to hit the wall and drop
back, but as fate would have it, the
sphere struck one of the stobs squarely
on top and bounced Owe the fence

The Michigan
Circuit

In the days when a 2:2O performer
was a champion on a half-mile track,
Splan, Turner, Mace. Van Ness, and
Hickok usually opened the season with
a trip through the Michigan circuit,
arranging their routes so that they
would be ready for the word when
the bell rang on the mile tracks in
Chicago, Saginaw or Detroit. Such
grand old warriors as Hannis, Charley
Ford, Bonesetter, Voltaire and Darby
left the imprint Of their shoes on the
Michigan courses and at times when
the conditions were favorable and the
odds right, there were a number Of
spirited contests between them. When
they passed, others followed while the
/, Michigan circuit continued to flourish
from year to year, the rate of speed
dropping gradually to 215 with the ad-
vent of the bike sulky in 1892 until at
the present time a 2:10 performer is
considered an every day affair in the
faster classes.
Among the present day reinsman who
have cut a wide swath in the Michi-
gan circuit during the past two years,
the Canadian reinsman Vic Fleming is
the leader, the returns for both years
placing him at the top of the list of
winning drivers. OF the horses he has

cult, which will this year open a.

THE SMOKES STATEMENT.

on this page yesterday was a state
ment made by Jack Johnson, a buck
negro, who at one time held the heavy
weight championship OF the world, but
who lost IT. when Jess Willard flattened
his somber bulk on the canvas at Ha-
vana, Cuba, on April 5, 1915.
The smoke says his bout with Will
lard was a frameup and that he was
paid to quit and let Jess win the title.
1t has been four years since the fight
occurred. 1t has always been believed
that willard won on his merits and
the ring authorities at the ringside were
unanimous in the opinion that the ne
gro had tired in the late rounds and
was an easy mark for n of Wizards
smashes.
But now, after the negro has been
barred forever from this country and
la an exile, he announces that he per-
mitted Willard to knock him out for
his price to get down on the level with
all other snakes,
Johnson's character Is as black as
his skin. and his charge of frameup
