shadow OF Jack Johnson is again
looming up in The background OF Fis-
tiana.
From the Federal prison at Leav-

ming a comeback.
While Lii Arthur" insists that he
would like another chance for the
worlds title, he is cleaning his guns
particularly for the colored heavles
who are usurping a place that he
claims.
Johnson argues that while he lost

the Rickard belt and the crown which
Kid Norfolk now wears.
The former champion wants TO
prove that he is not a "goner,' by tax
