UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY Johnson May Not Be Able to Fight for Some Time to Come Owing to Auto Accident. Copyright, 1012, by The Pree Publishing Oo, (Tre'New York World) JOHNSON has been bumped by an automodile at last. Result, the \ champion has a badly sprained back “which may put him out of the fighting (aime for some time to come. The despatch from Pittwbureh telling this heart rénding news reads as follows: ‘Jack Johnson,,¢he heavyweight cham- wae injui severely, it is be- here late to-day when @ large bile truck ran into the rear of his thine, The champion had several na in his back sprained, while his es, Were torn and te wal covered ‘with mud.

The Gutomeile truck belonging to a whole- gale liquor firm followed. Without warn- i big truck ran into Johnson's bile. Johneon was ansisted to a Bearby hotel and received :nedical at- @ation from a police surgeon.” VEN if Jack isn't very seriously tne jured I imagine that his feelings muat have been severely lacerated, {s proud of his automobiles, and Dave a truck catch him and run into im from behind must have been ex- ly humiliating. 0 interesting detail in this story Is one left out.
