seageiias UP-TO-DATE AND NEWSY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MeeTB AN Jaek Johnson Will Be Hard to Find While Willard Is in the Field. err, Re Yak hen wee . CHICAGO DESPATCH says: “Tom Jones, manager of Jeas Willard, bas left for New York en route to London im hope of clinching @ twenty-round go at Juares, Mexico, between Willard and Jack Johnson. Jones packed bis avip in a hurry when be learned that a Gicker wea on for a bout between Gunboat Smith end the negro at Tia Juana.” Tom Jones may find Johnson ia London, and be may not. Johnsoa isn't easy to find. Nobody knows this better than one of Willard’s other managers, who got Johnson's London address from Panis and apent a lot of money cabling him. John- son didn’t take the trouble to reply, even when apeured that he could have the $80,000 he usually demande, with all expenses and a cut in the moving picture rights. And thie in spite of the common report that Johnson is busted so flat he has nothing left but a few quarts of dia- 1.onds used to decorate his family. And even if Tom does find Johnson, and gets his valued signature to a pape? purporting to tle him tight for a scrap at Juares—or anywhere else— how's he going to make sure that ‘ohnson will be there? Johnson fights when he fobla like it, and breaks hie agreements when he doesn't feel like ighting. He might feel a whole lot ‘ig gerne a meters oarrveient!| Role Suggested That cig Willard's dimensions, why, “that yet, again, Mawruss. ee can't be tied down to fight.
