Orator Johnston Is PaIed by
Challenge of Max to
Talking JouSt.
BY JOHN LARDNER.


n YEW YORK, February 22.-You
nj can't keep a good man down.
but you can't keep Max Baer
down, either.
Mr.. Baer's brass throat has been
fairly silent for the last year or so,
and his fighting lungs have floated
at half mast, but the moment Max
returned to fast company this week,
to prepare for his fight with Running
Bob Pastor, those famous tonsils began
to churn again with the old-time
speed and power.
They seem TO be as good as ever,
those tonslls. Inactivity has not af-
fected them. Indeed, there is evi.
dence that Mr.. Baer has been work.
ing them out in secret, with the idea
of regaining his title as the fastest
and most durable conversationalist in
the fight game.
Look at those vocal organs" said
Mr.. Baer proudly, pointing down into
the depths of his celebrated NAV.
Not an ounce of fat on them, is
there? And the pipes are better than
ever. Each note is pear-shaped, and
clear as a bell believe I could talk
six hours without feeling it. That's
the kind of shape I'm in. Bring on
that Jimmy Johnston!"
Mr.. Johnston, the matchmaker,
frankly quailed at this challenge. A
grand bartender in his own right
perhaps the strongest talker in the
world, pound for pound-Mr. John
ston has never been able to keep pace
with Baer in a free-style encounter. 4
under the Queensberry rules.
Admits Max's Superiority.
lies got too much weight on me-"
confesses Jimmy ruefully. Talk
ing against him is like boxing a stone
wall"
During Baer's absence in the hinter-
lands Mr. Johnston enjoyed himself
no end. He usurped Makes lands and
titles. He flaunted the diadem and
outshouted every rival. including such
game and gifted tonsil-waggers as
Blunt Bill Brown, Joe Gould, Harry
Lenny, Gen. Phelan. Hymie Caplln
and Yussell the Muscle Jacobs. He
chewed each ear off cleanly and nailed
his trophies to the wall.
But Mr.. Johnston's collection OF
ears, though it represents years Of
field work, exploration and plain hard
labor, never will rival Mr.. Baer's. Mr..
Baer does not talk in spurts like Mr..
Johnston. He works steadily, with
the effect of phonograph needle
or riveting machine. Then. too, his
lungs were built for power. He Is
a throwback to the good old days Of
ear chewing, when the boys went
60 and 10 rounds instead Of the
paltry Is allowed them under the mod
ern code.

" one of Americas best tennis
L players for half dozen years,
gave the 1887 Davis Cup prospects Of
the United States boost today by
announcing his return to competition.
Ready to start West. where he plans
to begin a comeback campaign by
practicing with Don Bulge, the coun-

fully recovered his health and had

LIE PLAYED in only few tourna-

an appendicitis operation in January.
In addition, he had been bothered by
stomach trouble for c couple years, he
said. After his elimination by Henry
Culley in an early round Of the ma
tional singles championship last Fall
Wood went to California, where he
has been working in gold and sulphur
mines.
Although handicapped somewhat by
his slender build-he weights only 143
pounds now, and says that's heavier
than he ever has been-Wood is con-
sidered one Of Americas greatest ten
mis- stylists. His brilliant shotmaking
earned him a place ON the Davis Cup
squad in 1881, when England beat the
United States in the interzone final.
He also won the Wimbledon title that
year through the default Of Frank K.
