"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.

LESTER'S TEH SEWED BE ■TO DEFEAT Veteran Fan Picks This All-Star Team Speaker Left Field Collins Second Base Cobb Center Field Wagner Shortstop Daubert First Base Jackson Right Field Baker. Third Base Archer, Meyers Catchers Rucker, Johnson Pitchers Zimmerman Utility Chance Manager 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 - A luxurious J '''"' f train to the Rockies! “What way?” to go to ’ ' Colorado concerns you now —and comfort, speed, convenience, all answer “Frisco Lines.” The Frisco Lines is the short cut to Colorado from Jackson ville, Atlanta, Birmingham and Memphis, via Kansas City providing service right through to Colorado resorts.
