JACK JOHNSON ORDERED OUT OF MEXICO; U. S. FEDERAL AGENTS AWAIT HIM AT HORDE I
FORMER GLOVE
CHAMP GIVEN

HE’S HEADED FOR JAIL
By W. BOYD GATEWOOD,
International News Staff Correspondent.
TLA JUANA, Mexico, June 15.—Jack
Jehason, neftro, former heavyweight box
inf champion of the 'world, who for eight
year* has been a. fugitive from Justice on
a conviction of "white slavery” in Chi
cago, will be in the custody of the de
partment of Justice of the United States
late today or early' tomorrow, according
to announcement emanating from the
executive offices of lower California to
day.
Johnson has been given twenty-four
hourfc in which to leave Mexico, believed
to be the last place of refuge on the
face of the earth for him.
DRIVE AGAINST
UNDESIRABLES ON.
Caught in the country-wide drive
against the undesirables, which la now
sweeping hundreds of "men without a
country" out of Mexico, Johnson is be
ing reported as an "undesirable alien.”
United States officers are waiting at
the international line. There is no place
he can go except to Jail, it is said.
Deeplsed by the Mexicans, disowned
by the better class of Ms own race and
boned by the Americans from their
establishments here, Johnson gradually
naa been getting himself marked for de
portation.
Such la the information given out in
a statement made today by Superior
Judge Luis Cacho of the Tia Juana court,
before whom charges of lawlessness and
"offensive arrogance” were filed against
Johnson.
Some ot the charges are theee:
Johnson hag a white valet, a poor
.American boy, said to have been shell
shocked and gassed in the Argonne.
He is Jack Johnson’s slave, to ao the
black man’s every bidding, the victim
of a weakened mental force from hU.
war experiences and of which weak
ened condition Johnson is said to take
outrageous advantage.
There are two sinister charges on file
against Johnson by two young girls.
JBKRTAL ATTACK
ON MEXICAN MAID.
One charges a brutal attempted attack
en Ylncenta Espinosa. 20-year-old maid,
formerly In the employ of the black man's
white wife, bet who was forced to take
haveft in another house to escape John
son's alleged abuse.
The other charge Is one of a similar na
ture brought by an Americanized Mexi
can girl, by whose beauty Johnson was
drawn.
Then there is the common story of two
white girls accosted by the negro, but
protected when their friends intervened.
These charges are actually filed with
the Mexican Judge.
The Mexican courts move slowly here,
but Judge Cacho explained that thesc
complaints were part of a chain of evi
dence gathered by the Mexican authori
ties as a basis for the procedure to de
port the prize fighter as an undesirable
alien.
Part of other evidence concerns the
mysterious shooting of Jack John
son’# nephew, €us Rhodes, a young negro
whom Johnson has taken around with
him all over the world.
Rhodes was shot when Johnson, his
white wife and others of a party were
en route from Mexico City to Mexicala.
TWO STORIES
Ok SHOOTING.
Rhodes’ right arm was shattered bv a
revolver ball. Johnson told one story im
mediately on his arrival at Mexicala with
the wounded nephew and another story
Biter on. ...
The first story was that Rhodes had
shot himself. But the wound was in the
right arm. The next was that Johnson
himself had shot him—accidentally.
The Mexican authorities are working
on the last story, eliminating the acci
dent angle.
The motive for this family shooting
was a domestic one. the Mexicans claim.
They base tbeir findings on the testimony
Gs Mrs. Johnson's former maid. x
Americans here have interested them
selves into Johnson's white boy vaiet
and are now conducting an investigation
of his circumstances.
He claims his name is E. W. Brown,
formerly of Chicago. He says his mother
lives in Clevela#!. 0.. and that her name
is Mrs. Ruth Prentiss, she having mar
ried again since theydeath of Brown's
father, which was ' before the boy
gravttated across the border into the per
sonal service of Jack Johnson, fugitive
from the law.
Meanwhile Jack Johnson's days of
fteedom a-e numbered and are growing
few.
Mexico h*s moved to evict him and
Uncle Sam's officers are waiting at the
boundary wirh bracelets of steel.
Jack Johnson's pathway has been long
and sometimes thriving, but at Its end
there leoms an American Jail.

Around the A. A.
—WITH EDDIE ASH—
The national commission has taken
a hand in the 0111* O'Mara case and
for the present the Jumping Tribe third
baseman is barred from organised base
ball. There ia only a slight possibility
that he can be reinstated and Vice
President Smith of the Indians went to
Chicago today to confer with Ban John
son to test out that remaining possibil
ity.' The Indianapolis club stand* to
lose heavily if O'Mara is barred becauan
h represent* about SIO,OOO In cash or
the equivalent in players.
H was the most sought-after player
In the A. A. when he Jumped and It
would have been an easy matter for the
Indianapolis club to have received a
big price for him, but due to the fact
that Owner Fmith though/ It would
have been unfair to local fan* to have
sold him he tried to hang on to the
star.
Smith had met O'Mara's own terms and
he thought the player would prove man
enough th stick by the contrsct. but as
the case has worked out the Tribe presi
dent stands to lose enormously by try
ing to be loyal to Hooeter fans.
The day O Mata lumped Smith Imme
diately got busy and tried to do the next
best thing—trade him to the Red Sox for
a number of players who would bolster
the Indians. Smith made the deal, got
O'Mara's consent and was on the point of
receiving the men he sought when the
national commission decided to bar Ollte.
Indianapolis fans hope that Ban John
son will relent and let the deal go
through, not for O'Mara's sake, but for
the sake of the Indianapolis club, which
bus suffered heavily through the Inroads
of the outlaw*.
Owner Muehlbach of the Kansas City
club Is in the city with the Blues and
he also Is trying hard to get players to
make up for the hole* the outlaws put
in his team.
Pug Cavot allowed only five hits yes
terday, pitching one of th* best games
of his career with tbs Indians. In six
of the ten innings not a Blue saw first
base.
Pug Is a hitting pitcher as well as a
pitching pitcher. He got two more safe
ties yesterday—a alngle and a double.
Zmilling made a shoestring catch of
Good s drive to right in the fifth. F-<ldle
also whaled out a fly In the sixth tbat
sent Miller back against the big sign in
right field. Miller caught It, but If the
wind had been In that direction It would
have cleared the atgn.
McCarthy's double in the fifth was the
first hit off Cavet. '
Outfielder Herb Hunter, bought from
the Red Pox Monday, Is on the way to
Indianapolis, according to word received
by Manager Hendricks from Ed Barrow
today.
The leading Ba'nts lost another yes
terday. A few more defeats and the A. A.

CAVET IN TOP FORM
With one K. C. game stored away in
the old bat bag the Indians today saw
visions of annexing their first complete
series of the season at the oxpense of
the Blues. ,
The success scored by the Trlbesmep
yesterday, when they copped the aeries
opener, 2 to 1, in ten Innings, made the
team’s followers feel mighty good be
cause the victory brought the Hoosiers’
recent record up to four wins out of the
last six games played at Washington
park.
Rogge or Whltehouse was slated to per
form on the mound today and If the In
dians were in hitting form the prospects
were glowing for another win.
The Hoosiers picked up to some extent
in their fielding yesterday and gave Pug
Cavet good support, although the manner
In which the tall southpaw worked would
have beaten almost any club.

PITCHERS GETTING SWAT IDEAS
By HENRY FARRELL,
United Frees Sports Editor.
NEW YORK. June 15.—“ Pitchers ain’t
paid for hitting,” a Giant bug chirped
In the tenth inning of a game when
Rube Benton hit a weak roller In a
pinch.
His logic came down from the pas’.
Pitchers of old batted mostly because
the rules prescribed nine men in the
batting order.
The worth of,a modern pitcher, how
ever, Is measured a great deal by hia
power with the stick.
Joining In the van of sluggers, hurl
rrs In tne major leagues this year are
helping to make It the hlttln’est of years.
(Eleven games have been broken up so
far by nie timely clout of a pitcher.
Big Jim Vaughn of the Cubs has won
two of his own games with the stick.
Although his longest clout last season
was a double, he tripled in the ninth
with the bases full in a game with the
Pirate# this season and won A 'l”'
the Cards in another game he singled
in the ninth and got tne decision.
Jack Quinn, the veteran Yankee box

Junior tennis tournament will get under
way on the Indianapolis Tennis associa
tion courts Monday, June 28, and be con
cluded Saturday, July 3.

not in shape at that time.
Charles V. Trask, director of the event,
stated today that the I. T. A. ground
keepers are making rapid headway an
the courts sit this time and they will be
In readiness June 28, if weather condi
tions are agreeable up to that time.
Heavy rains the last two days have
set the work on the courts back some,
but it Is not believed tbat a second post
ponement will be necessary.
