Cuevetgte. 1018, by The Prom Putting Os. (rhs New Tort World). ANADA having announced that Mr. John J. Johneon of Chicago, formerly heavywelght champion, fe off the visiting Met, sald Johnson Row finds himself in @ peculiar position. Canada's Immigration Department will Fefuse to allow him to cross the boun- ary line of Canada, should he ever attempt to do so. No doubt England wit support Canada, ané bar him from the shores of the British , and Australia and other British colonies wil! fellow eult. Then the other countries, Ret to be outdone by Hngland, will put ‘ap the bars. While all this ts going on the U. & 18 impressing it upon Mr, Johnson that his presence here in America, right in Chicago, County of Cook, Miinots, ts very much desired, Johnson is “The Man With a Coun- try.” His predicament 1s the exact epposite of the hero of Hale's great tory “The Man Without # Country.” Johnson ought to get that book and fead it. He might feel more content in Chicago. He might as well fee) con- tent, for it doran't seem to be Artha's fate to do much more travelling in for- ign lands. ‘T 1s announced from Johnson's quar- I ters in Chicago that Johnson is 20 fat that he bas given up all hope of ever getting into condition again, weighs 300 pounds; that he haa given &p the idea of boxing Palser in Paris, ena that anyhow has pneumonia. All of which can be taken for what it fe worth. A couple of weeks ago th source of information gave the Public to understand that J. J. never ‘was in better shape; that he had been training lightly and wasn't fat; that as @00n as those legal cloude roll by he'll begin a grand world tour, boxing a ehampionship bout every fornight or oo OOR K. 0.! Those of us who saw some of the right-handers Rivers cut loose at Leach Cross had a @neaking notion that he could land them on Brown, and that not even the eturdy little Dutchman's jaw could Stand the shock. Rivers has the goods fn the punching line. Little K. 0. deserves @ world of @redit, even though he has been knocked out at last. He lost like man, not lk Wolgast. He took his Deating when it ca: nd didn't try te foul or | on a technicality, In- @tead of that, floored three times, he Fese opce again and pushed his chin @ut valiantly for the final wallop that @tretched him for @ ten-second sleep. Fortunately for K. O., he was a w! ttle fellow, in one way. When the feoney was coming in he gave it to his mother and let her put it away for Bim. He has a “stake” now that will Keep him on the sunny aide of Easy etreet for years to come, even if his bed Power does suffer something @ slump after fe © slump: of this fret reversal of OLGAST, from all accounts of the fight with Tommy Munphy, Must be in pretty good shape.

At second Jack Miller is @ holdout. For shortstop Tilly Shi would come in handy, and as third baseman Bobby Byrne of the Pirates just about fills the bill. In the outfleld the blacklist team would be represented by Ty Cobb, Sam Craw- ford and Duffy Lewis or Harry Hooper of the Red Sox, By the way, Steve Yerkes of that team is still holding out and he could be used as @ substitute. To sum it up, the All-Amerioan Blacklists would line up something like this, and any old club would have a tough job beating them: First base—Konetchy. Second base—Miller.

August Belmont May Be Ap- pointed a Member of the State Racing Commission, ORSEMEN all over the State are so enthusiastic over the prospect of racing around New York this spring, now that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has handed down ‘a decision upholding oral betting and re- Meving the directors of responsibility for betting on their tracks, that they are planning to meet some time this week to outline plans for the coming season.
