WHO WILL WREST ' BELT FROM NEGRO Fight Followers at Sea as to Whom They Can Turn. Xew York, July 6.-For the first time in the prize ring, a negro is the undisputed - heavyweight champion of the world. And what white man Is there in sight today who can wrest that tit'e from John Arthur Johnson? That is the question which the fight followers of New York, as well as of the whole country are asking today The only answer is an echo "Who?" The only hope the fans can see to day lies in Al Kaufman, but it is ad mitted generally that this hope has not a very solid foundation. Kauf man, while young, big and strong, ha hardly given evidence as yet of pos sessing the qualities of a first-class fighter. Aside from him the pugilistic horizon can be scanned In vain. Despite this situation, however, followers of the game are cheering each other by recalling some not too ancient ring history. It is pointed out tha after Sullivan had defeated KH rain. It was predicted that no man could be found to defeat the mighty John L., but along came Jim Corbett. the young ex-bank clerk, who sent Sullivan down to bitter defeat. Ad mirers of Corbett. calling attention to his admittedly great cleverness and quickness, were equally 3ure that there was no man in sight to wrest the title from him. And yet Bob Fitzsim mons. at that time fighting as a mid dleweight, came out of his class and took the crown from Gentleman Jim. And so. they reason, somewhere there may be even now a sturdy youth who is destined to bring the ring laurels back to the Caucasian race. CEDAR CREEK PICNIC.
