I Jack Johnson Offered a King’s
Ransom to Fight in Australia
By XV, W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. IS It
is rather a curious coincidence
that within a comparatively
few hours of the death of Jack
Johnson's wife by her own hand a
special representative of Hugh I).
Mclntosh, of Australia, should ar
rive In this country with a view
of inducing the world's champion
to engage In pugilistic contests in
the land of the kangaroo.
The gentleman in question is YV.
C. J. Kelly, who acts as the agent
of A. G. Spalding & Bros. In Aus
tralia He has power to treat with
Johnson for matches with Sam
Langfond and Sam MeVea and he is
under instructions to deal with so
many other pugilists in regard to
matches at the Antipodes that this
country is in danger of experienc
ing a tight famine if lie is half way
successful.
$30,000 For Johnson.
The terms to be laid before John
son are that he will receive thirty
thousand dollars for engaging in a
twenty-round bout with Sam Lang
ford. For boxing Sam MeVea the
champion will be paid fifteen thou
sand dollars and a similar amount
for meeting Joe Jeannette. In ad
dition tn all this. Johnson will bi
given five thousand dollars for
training expenses and three round
trip tickets to Australia.
"The reason Johnson is being of-,
fared more for the bout with Lang
fond Is that Langford is regarded
as his most formidable rival.'' »x
--plalned Kelly. "Out in Australia
they are willing to admit that John
son is the greatest boxer that had
ever visited that country and they
reckon Sam Langford the next best.
The question of superiority between
Langford and MeVea is considered

Kelly says that men of the light

Australia, is heavier than the Amer
ican scale would permit. But
what is lost in one direction is
gained In another, for fellows like
Packey McFarland would be able
to till the Australian requirements
with pounds to spare.

TESREAU NOW PREMIER PITCHER IN NATIONAL
By Damon Runyon.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Sep- '
tember 14, 1912, was one of
the most apprehensive days
| in the book, being marked by a
general clean-up of certain lawless
characters who have been at large
so long they were gradually being
edged light off the front page of
the papers. They were "Lefty
Louie," "Gy p the Blood,” Sidna Al
ien. Wesley Edwards and "I.urid
Lou Richie. The latter is famous
for liis remark when Officer Tes
r.'au broke down the door "Put up
your gun," says I.urid Lou, "I ain't
got a thing."
< liarles Massive Tesreau is most
assutedly in the league. By tear
ing off Lou Richie, the Ironton Av
alanche pushed the comical t'qb
out of the pitching leadership of
the National league, assuming that
proud position himself with seven
teen games won and five lost.
Richie had that very same record
up to Saturday. when Charles
’’made" him. Jeff is now running
true to his fall time performances
over in the International league
last year. During the earlv part of
Hte season he had little success,
but he closed with a series of ex
clamation points.
Charles has the ideal tempera
ment for a gunner, which is to say
no particular temperament what
ever. It is Charles’ general notion
that he was employed by McGraw
to pitch the baseball, and he per

Joe Mandot Is Only Card Left
For Champion Wolgast to Fight
By Sol Plex.
Chicago, sept, is.— ag Woi
gast and Tom Jones are in a
fine predicament. The cham
pion is aging a bit as a fighter,
and wants to make his money rap
idly now. And there is just one
boy who can weigh 133 pounds at
the ringside, the weight the cham
pion insists on, and draw the sort
of coin Ad wants to fight for. Joe
Mandot is the lightweight we mean,
and there are those out in Los An
geles who say that Mandot is in
no great hurry to lock horns with
the champion. They figure it that
way because he asks a prohibitive
price.
YY olgast can get big money fight
ing Packey McFarland. Jack Brit
, ton and Willie Ritchie, but. sad to
relate, they are all three too big for
him. and probably too good if he
lets them in heavy, as the ring
birds say. McFarland and Wol
gast will draw a mint of money
anywhere, but they can’t agree on
the poundage. Britton and Ritchie
are coming to the front with rapid
strides, and will be great cards
this winter. But Ad can't risk a
clash with one of them after that
appendicitis operation, which un
questionably has slowed him up
some.
Mandot spoiled the real financial
plum for Wolgast when he laced
Joe Rivers, the Mexican marvel,
on Labor day. The Wolgast-Riv
ets fight had such a peculiar end
ing that half of I,os Angeles be
lieves tn this day that Rivers won.
and tile other half believed, until
the Mandot fight, that Rivers would
have stopped Ad had they fought
