AN INTERVIEW WITH J. JOHNSON

The only criticism ever made Of john
son was that he was clumsy when forced
to carry a fight to man. When the
other fellow came to him he always was
wonderful. Johnson understands that
Dempsey is an aggressive fellow. always
tearing in and taking chances. That's
the kind Of q Fighter Johnson loves TO
box and he actually seems positive ina !
if Dempsey fights him that way that
he can recover tbs laurels he lost or
tossed off to Jess Willard after twenty
five and a fraction rounds under ter
ribly hot sun at Havana some years ago.
REGARDING THAT
HAVANA SCRAP.
We asked Johnson about the story
that he was accused of giving out in
Europe and later on in Mexico to the
extent that he Topped to Willard at Ha-
was a fake In which he allowed the Kan
san to win when he could have won him
self. Johnson was silent for while and
then declined to comment other than
this: That's past history. Guess we
had better forget all about 1t. 1 have
nothing to say about that. l am still a
great fighter, can whip either Dempsey
or Willard, but prefer to fight Dempsey
II understand Willard won't train any
more, anyway, and is out of the ques-
ton"
Johnson was to start demonstrating
his physical and boxing prowess at the
bIFdulduu NdIe' oozo oouIH otdOo 500,
today. Johnson will have some sparrlng
partners there every day, but says any
man is welcome to bring out the tough
est heavyweight he can find. He bars
none.
johnson, asked II he had seen a really
great fighter during his eight years or
so Of travels, answered in the Affirmative.
But the man to whom he has reference
is still In Leavenworth and will be for
year or more. Johnson says his name
is Brock and he thinks the first part Of
1t Is Leo. but he is not certain about
that. He weighs about 1GS pounds.

The Indians lost four games here, the

pected to see them wallop the Blues all
over the lot, but it was a different story.
The Indians took the beatings and the
final two beatings were decisive.

in the two games Sunday. three in the

BY SAM HALL.

Chicago Herald Examiner Sports Editor.
CHICAGO, July 1o.-Jack Johnson,
while insisting that he wants to fight
Jack Dempsey first, is not going to keep
on demanding such a match without
showing something. He is particularly
anxious that sport writers who s9W him
fight when he was good watch him in
his training work Jack aims to convince
them that he still is a great fighter, the
old defensive master with the great left
hand feint and the powerful right hand
uppercut That he believes 1t himself Is
evident from his conversation or else he's
a great and convincing story teller.
Jack was about Saturday to put In
his plea with the boxing critics concern
ing a fight with Dempsey. He thinks 1t
will draw even better than did the Demp-
sey Carpenter match. and, of course,
would like very much to have Tex Rick
ard put 1T on in that Jersey City arena
Of 81 000 seating capacity. Johnson will
be ready any time any promoter says
the word, and is going to New York soon
to see what can be done about it. He
says that If all the promoters turn 1t
down that he will manage to promote 1t
himself somewhere If Dempsey will give
him a chance to regain the crown he
once so proudly wore.
CALLED TURN
OF TITLE BOUT.
johnson, you know, called the turn
on the Carpenter fight, He boxed with
Georges often In France and knows him
to a I. The ex-champion never has seen
Dempsey, but he said in advance of the
Carpenter fight that if the title holder
was half as good al they claimed he was
he would take the Frenchman ia a hurry,
He did 1t is Johnsons opinion that
Dempsey has done so well because he
has not yet met q really formidable
fighter with great defense He stlpulateS
that once Dempsey finds he is up against
a man he cant hit that he win be diff
ferent looking sort of a fghter-one that
won't look nearly so good johnson con
tends that he is the party that Dempsey
can't hit.
johnson claims that men Of the
Dempsey style are duck soup for him.
