johnson, Freed, Wants Chance
TO Proue Ability in Comeback
Menke Advocates Giving Burly Negro Another Whirl at
Ring Game-Worse Sinners

charges against him were trumped
up in spirit of revenge.
Victim OF "Frameup." :.
1t is said that a group of persons
aimed to work a shakedown on John
son. They demanded huge sum of
money. Johnson laughed at their or
ders. Then. when they began to
threaten him, he in turn threatened
to expose them on the charge of
blackmail
Then the group, practically trapped,
decided to beat Johnson to the legal
punch. They feared he would go
through with the blackmail charge.
So they got busy, according to infor-
mation-ran him into a trap, trap
which involved him with a woman and
the interstate laws-and then had hiIn
"jugged" on the white slavery charge.
Johnson was convicted and released
on bail. He jumped the country and
remained for years outside the juris-
diction of the United States govern
ment. At last he came back, served
his sentence-and now he's free and
asking for another chance.
Johnson is an illiterate negro, and
without much moral structure. He's
one of those men who never did grow
up; who ever will be a big, good
natured, fun loving, pleasure loving
negro from the levees of the South
land. But in the days when Jack
Johnson had money, no man-friend
or stranger-ever went to him for
help and came away empty handed.
Always Helped Friends
1t was come easy for him in those
days-and go easy into the pockets
of his friends. If Johnson now could
collect the money he loaned or gave
away in the golden era of his life it
wouldn't be necessary for him to want
another chance at the boxing game.
But he can't. That money, like the
rest which he spent in riotous living,
is gone forever.
Johnson is freed from jail-and
broke. He wants chance to fight
again. Perhaps he has gone so far
from his greatness that he is just a
human hulk. If so, the first fight will
prove it. If not, he still might be
able to furnish some entertainment
for men who like to see big blacks
mingle in battle within the roped
arena.
Johnson erred If the boxing game
were one where only the pure and
the untainted are privileged to mix
it in battle, or participate in any man.
ner at all, then Johnson should be
barred from any form of ring activity.
But the fistic game is about the rot
tenest thing in the world. 1t includes
more INHALED crooks, more double
crossing sure thing men and more
social lepers than any other branch
of human endeavor.
And it countenances in high stand
ing men who served prison terms for
worse crimes than Johnson
So why should those on the inside
now become snobbish and try to bar
a man who paid the penalty for the
crimes which he committeeman
wants just another chance?

Nothing provokes a greater laugh
than the announcement of some per-
sons connected with the prize ring:
Jack Johnson should not be allow.
ed to fight again"
The golden molared negro, fresh
from Jail, wants to get back into ring
harness again; wants to battle anw-
body, anywhere, anytime-just so long
as he gets little money for it. He's
broke-and he admits it. He knows
but one trade. one profession-and
that is boxing He needs money.
knows but one way to earn it-and
some men try to stop him in his
honest efforts.
The negro insists that even though
he is AZ. he is still able to step a little
faster, punch a little harder and pro-
tect little more effectively than any
black men now identified with the
knuckle showing pastime. Maybe he
is-maybe he isn't He should get. e
chance to prove it.
But certain promoters, certain man.
ayers, certain fighters shrek to the
heavens:
johnson has disgraced pugilism
He should never be allowed to fight
again"
Down on Under Dog.
The strange thing about it is that
the noisiest yowl comes from white
men who, inwardly are perhaps a
whole lot blacker than Johnson. The
only difference between some of them
and Johnson is that Johnson was
caught-and they have escaped the
tolls of justice. They have committed
sins against boxing and against hui
mainly worse than Johnsons ever
were-and they know a moral struc-
ture no stronger than that of the
negro.
They live in glass husband dare
to toss bricks.
Just how guilty johnson was of the
charge that landed him in prison ever
will remain debatable question.
Those who profess to know the inside
of the case insist that Johnson was
"jobbed" out in Chicago-that the
