JOHNSON PREFERS STATES THAN FOREIGN COUNTRIES New York, Feb. 26—If Jack John- son, the former hesgyweight cham- pion of the world, Iives up to his ex- pressed determination to return to this country and surrender himself to the authorities within the next few weeks his action will terminate a long period of wondering through foreign climes. Johnson who had been con- victed of violating the Mann act, slipped out of the United States near- Iy seven years ago. He had been sen- tenced at Chicago to serve one year and one day in® prison and to pay a fine of $1,000 but he forfeited his bail and after evading the federal authori- ties. landed in Canada in June, 1913. When Johnson left Chicago he start- ed on a journey which brought him through most of the European and Latin-American countries. During his period of wandering Johnson ini- tiated Russians in the mysteries of wrestling and_boxing, appearing in vaudeville in English music halls, and fought bulis in Spain and Mexico, lost s championship title to Jess Willard at Havana, Cuba, and took part in over 100 ring fights in several parts of the two hemispheres. When the war brokeout in Europe Johnson and his white wife were in Moscow, Russia. Aided by some mil- itary friends the pair secured places iboard the last frain leaving Moscow for the west. ‘They passed through Pioland and Germany and crossed the Belgian frontier finally reaching Parie. Later Johnson went to England and thence to South America. From Bue- nos Aires he returned to Spain where | he lived for some two years. Last summer Johnson arrived in Mexico via Cuba and up to a few weeks ago vas a resident of Mexico City. is gamut of experiences as a fu- ve will soon conclude according to his own statement with a return to United States as he desires to t home again no matter what punishment the courts of justice may in%ict on him. With this object in view. he is expected to arrive here within ashort time from Vera Cruz with the intention of surrendering to the federal officials at Chicago.

EXTENDED TO POLO FIELD baseball, foot- , inercollegiate rivalry may | s00n be extended to the polo field. Re- | action at’ several eastern %tni-| dicates the adoption of po- an interco leglate sport.

The movement for intercollegiate \polo grows out of the war depart- ment's recent endorsement of the| sport. Objection to the game prev ously has been largely one of expense, is obviated by the depart- ‘ent’s offer to furnish mounts and ! equipment where paying fields and | s ables are available. As Yale, Har- ard, Princeton and Cornell have ar- ery units of the B. C. T. C., each will obtain this federal assistance.
