JACK JOHNSON
ANNOUNCES HE
HAS QUIT RING
CHICAGO, July 30.—Champion Jack
Johnson has retired. The negro heavy
weight ended his ring career at mid
night last night. Asserting that he
was disgusted witli the game and that
he had given every fighter entitled to a
chance he voluntaiily moved up the
date of his retirement which had been
announced to take place on Labor day.
No more fights. Jack is adamant on
that proposition. Even a hundred
thousand big shiny dollars couldn't
tempt him into a pair of gloves again
for a real fight, he said.
"They won’t let me fight a whiteman
in New York and there’s too much red
tape connected with the shorter bouts.
I've got all I can get out of the, game
now. Let the others tight it out among
themselves,” he said.
"There's no chance for me to come
back. I’m through and that means
that there can he no inducement of
fered which will be sufficiently strong
to tempt me to don my fighting clothes
again.
"I may do some exhibition work, but
as far as a real bout goes there is noth
ing doing. I stated before my fight
with Flynn that I was through on La
bor day,-but as the promoters don’t see
lit to give me what I want it is good
bye to tlie arena. I feel that I have
given every fighter who was worthy of
a chance a bout and before 1 annexed
the title I was willing to tight for not
much more than a square meal. Now
I have the championship, the promo
ters think 1 ought to do the same.”
Jack said the reports that he was
quitting in order to avoid a tight with
Jeannette or Sam Langford were un
true.
KOLEHMAINEN MAY COME
TO RACE WITH A. WOOD
NEW YORK, July 30.- An effort is to
be made to bring to this country Hannes
Kolehmainen, the Finnish champion, who
carried off so many of the long distance
honors of the Olympic games. It has
been reported that the Finn would turn
professional now that he has won the
highest possible amateur honors. In view
of these reports, A. E. Wood, the English
runner, who set new world's figures for
fifteen miles when he beat the American
champion, Queal, at Celtic park this
spring, has forwarded to Kolehmainen a
formal challenge for a rate at any dis
tance from ten to twenty miles. Wood
had just reached this city from Toronto
and believes that a race with the Finnish
wonder can be successfully staged here
for a purse of $5,000 or even SIO,OOO.

By Janies G. Lester.
(Secretary Atlanta Clearing House
and an Old-time Fan.)
I HAVEN'T much to say about
my team. The line-up shows
what it would be worth on the
diamond. But I believe that it
could beat any other aggregation
that could be picked and stacked
against it. And I have been watch
ing baseball for well over 30 years,
too.
I have always been a great ad
mirer of Frank Chance and the
Cubs. 1 am sure that Chance is
the greatest leader that ever lived
and that is why I pick him as
manager of my All-Star team.
Speaker. Jackson and Cobb are
in a class by themselves, although
Fred Clarke, of the Pirates, when
at his best, would give any one of
them a hard fight. *
Daubert today is the greatest
first baseman. I think he has the
edge on Hal Chase, of the Yankees,
right now. And I am sure that in
another couple of years Daubert
will have improved his game a
whole lot. Collins Is a remarkable
second baseman. although he hasn't
very much on Lajole. Wagner and
Baker are. without any doubt, the
greatest infielders to the left of the
keystone.
Archer and Meyers are a pair of
catchers that can’t be beat. Rucker
and Johnson are the greatest left
and right-hand pitchers that ever
worked

Kid Wolfe, thp Cleveland lad recruited
by Tommy Atkins for the Cracker club
and farmed by the Crackers first in Rome
and later in the Sally league, will be re
called at the end of the South Atlantic
season and given a brief trial this fall
with the Crackers.
Wolfe was a semi-pro picked up off the
lots in Cleveland by Tommy Atkins. He
looked mighty good, however, and when
the Crackers let him go they kept a string
to him. Soon this string will be jerked
and Wolfe will don a Cracker uniform
again.
