Tuskeee Institute, Ala. Paris, June 12. Jack Johnson Is us ing the same tactics in preparing for his light with Frank Moran that ho employed In Australia when he was getting Into shape to " fight Tommy Burns for the championship. . "Daddy" VIenne, promoter ot the Johnson-Moran contest, called up Johnson's mansion the other morning. Intending to speak to Johnson's valet.

Johnson's present condition is a sur prise to those who can Judge. Several days' work has taken oft several pounds of superfluous flesh. He has regained much of his speed and stam ina, looks trained to the minute and his sparring shows little of a long period ot Idleness. All the talk and deduction about his being "all In" falls to make good. Experts agree that he Is all there CALDWELL & CHAPMAN Hair and MiHinery 1 8th and Paseo, Kansas City, Mo.
