H JOHNSON
ANNOUNCES HE
HAS QUII 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
vas disgusted with the game and that
he had given every fighter entitled to a
hance he voluntarily moved up the
'ate of his retirement which had been
mnounced 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 white man
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 fight it out among
themselves,” he said.
"There’s no chance for me to come
back. I’m through and that means
that there can be 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
is far as a real bout goes there is noth
ing doing. I stated before my fight
with Flynn that I was through on La
ho: day, but as the promoters don’t see
tit to give me what 1 want it is good
bye to the arena. I feel that 1 have
given every fighter who was worthy of
i chance a bout and before 1 annexed
■he title 1 was willing to fight for not
much more than a square meal. Now
I have the championship, the promo
ters think I ought to do the same."
Jack said the reports that he was
quitting in order to avoid a fight with
Jeannette or Sam Langford were un
true.

By Janies G. Lest Yr.
(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 stackqji
against it. And I have been watch
ing baseball for well over 30 years,
too.
1 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 Clatke, 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 Meiers are, a pair of
catchers that can’t be beat. Rucker
and Johnson are the greatest left
and light-hand pitchers that ever
worked.
