claimed a copy rend or on the (porting
desk of a prominent paper once when
told br his city editor to hand'.e a story
having to do with the shooting of one
race track man by another.
And ho was right. When a sporting
man. or a man from any other walk In
life, becomes entangled In I ho meshes of
U10 Jaw, he la meat for tho reporter, who
keeps the public Informed In regard to
crime and Ita causes.
So, much baa boon written about Jack
Johnson and his topics of late that to
add a jot of criticism to the things that
are being said would savor of turning
the hose on a drowned rodent. Hut there
Is a sporting angle to tho Johnson cose
and It Invites discussion.
It scorns to tho writer that Johnson
has been eliminated an thoroughly from
the puglllstlo outlook as though he had
been signally defeated by some rival
heavyweight. Even the regret that no
one has been found capable of beating
Mm is expressed no more. The disgust
at his alleged misconduct Is such that
jk one wants to think about him In any
connection.
The last straw came when Hugh Mo.
ntosh of Australia cabled his agent to
all off negotiations with Johnson At
onoe. The action was so spontaneous
that one can readily Imagine how quickly
foaling against the big negro was aroused
In Australia when news of his latest
eeoapade reached there. If tho deal with 1
Mcintosh had gone through Johnson I
would hare reoelved iSO.COO, so that It i

Of course there will be no Johnson
Lemgford fight now so far as Australia
is concerned and there is equally small
chance of the pair mcotlng In this coun
try or England. The writer Is Inclined
to think, however, that the tightening
of the colls around Johnson so far as
the boxing outlook Is concemod Is not
bothering Jack, lleoent revelations con-
nernlnar hi nrivnta llfn Ai.v. n .K.ntfilnn
that Johnson has had no serious- thought I

Ills present environment.
The exposure made may moke Johnson
feel like leaving this country for awhile
that Is, If ho continues a free man
and such being the case he might enter
tain one of tho offers placed before him
some time ago by the Paris promoters.
There Is a possibility, pf course, that even
Paris may withdraw Its Invitation to
Johnson to appear in a French ring, and
if this Is done the champion will be as
completely corralled, puglllstlcally, as a
steer In a pen, for the chain at disbar
ment will reach around the world.
Even with matters as they are now
there Is a good chande for the white
heavies to engross the public attention
It they have sense enough to rise to the
occasion.
I) own to White Hope.
White hopes have bloomed and white
hopes have faded, but we stilt have with

Bo far nary a one Of the hopes seems
to be displaying undud Iirtpatlenco to get

Ju Palzer's case, of courso, that tho big
Iowart was held back by tho deadlock
With Mr. O'Rourkc. but now that amica
ble relations have been re-established,
Palter should be heard from.
Just what Jim Flynn's little game Is Is
not clear. A few months ngo he com
plained bitterly that ho could not get a
chance to show how good he wna. Now
ho flits front place to place and when
questioned about his rln plans, Is won
derfully noncommittal for Flynn. Even

manager, which Is the samo tlilng-ao-

t,artny match Is suggested.
Mornrthr In Itftlrctnent.
As for Big Luther, he has remained un
der cover since his two-round victory
oyer At Kaurman and has not attempted
to make canttal out of that achievement.
He is still In Ran Franclsoo for all the
writer kpows to the contrary and tho
ports hereabouts are wondering It ho has
determined to retire from ring pursuits,
"Nothing of tho kind," says a friend of
McCarthy when appealed to. "Here Is
the situation: There Isn't much compel!
tlon. between promoters nowadays and
the business of matchmaking has to bo
cpnaucted with the greatost secrecy,
ThaCs why you hear so little of what Is

If you hear that McCarthy and another
prominent white hope are to box the first
of a aeries of white heavyweight cham
plonshlps in .San Francisco early In No
vember. I would not say for certain, but
I have an Idea that McCarthy's opponent
will be AI Palter."
If the event is arranged it will most
certainly arouse Interest. Tho San Fran
cisco sports . have Just seen enough of
McCarthy to create 11 desire for more,
They think his match with Kaufman was
too brief and one sided lo give an Idea of
McCarthy's general ring qualifications,

TYEUS COBB, CZAH AND AUTO
CRAT OF BASE BALL.
T. Raymond Cobb Isn't a bit bashful. He
admits that he Is the beat ball player In
the major Uagues and that 1 far and
away the greatest drawing card In Ban
Johnson's circuit. Cobb has notified
President Navin of the Detroit club that
he Is ready to sign a throe-year contract
at the mpdeat sslary -of lis. 000 a year.
He says that if Navin cannot comply
with this request be will, retire from btso

Cobb's value as a player Is not, ques
tioned, but many base ball men believe
that when he was suspended for assault
ing a fan In NeW York and the Tigers
went on strike, n sympathy with htm the
Detroit club received a knockout blow'
which eost many thousands of dollars,
Navin built ,an expensive, plant In De
troit with the Idea that the Tigers would'
remain high tn the pennant race. The,
slump In tho tem after the Cobb Incident
caused a big ailing off in the .attendance
at homs and consequently heavy losses
In rovenue which were entirely jmex

demand for a three-year contract calling
for a total ef 1 14,000 is pronounced en
tirely out of order.

this feeling, engendered by the "Itoyal

tions that are likely to' cause great harm
to tho American league cause tn the City
of Culture.
Luckily for organized base ball, the
