Jack Johnson Offered a King’s
Ransom to Fight in Australia
By W. W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18—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 D.
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 W.
C. J. Kelly, w’ho acts as the agent
of A. G. Spalding & Bros, tn Aus
tralia He has power to treat with
Johnson for matches with Sam
Langford and Sam MaVea 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 fight famine If he 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 fiam Lang
ford. For boxing Ham McVea the
champion will be paid fifteen thou
sand dollars and a similar amount
for meeting Joe Jeannette. In ad
dition to all this, Johnson will be
given five thousand dollars for
training expenses and three round
trip tickets to Australia
"The reason Johnson is being of
fered more for the bout with Lang
ford is that Langford is regarded
as his most formidable rival," ex
plained Kelly. "Out in Australia
they ar* whiling 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 McVea Is considered

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 z were gradually being
edged right off the front page of
the papers. They were "Lefty
Louie," "Gyp the Blood," Sidna Al
len, Wesley Edwards and "Lurid
Lou” Richie. The latter is famous
for his remark when Officer Tes
reau broke down the door. "Put up
your gun," says Lurid Lou, "I ain’t
got a thing.”
Charles Massive Tesreau is most
assuredly in the league. By tear
ing off Lou Richie, the Ironton Av
alanche pushed the comical Cub
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 early part of
the 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
mits no extraneous matters to dis
turb him when engaged in that oc
cupation. Under fire the big boy is

HERE’S~‘HOPEDESTROYER”
WHO REALLY LOOKS GOOD
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Another "white
hope destroyer” looms up on the pugilistic
horizon. He Is Art Nelson, of Wyeville,
Wls., a woodchopper in that section of the
country. In stature he is almost a giant,
standing 5 feet and 11 inches in his stock
ing feet. He is built like a Frank Gotch,
but weighs only 190 pounds. Charles La
vine discovered the youngster, he being
but 22 years of age, when Lavine took
Jumbo Weils up to Bangor, Wls., as Art’s
opponent. Wells looked like a pretty good
hope at that time and was in grand con
dition when the pair sparred off in the
opening round. Almost from the tap of
the gong It could be seen that Nelson
was some hope, and after hammering
Wells almost out of shape he crossed a
right over in the sixth round that spelled
knockout.
He was matched to go against John
Wille, but the sheriff halted the go. Nel
son has had some ten fights in the Wis
consin towns, Frank Ryan and Jack Par
res being some of them men who felt the
sting of hie punches. He put Ryan away
in six rounds and beat him so badly that
Frank changed his fighting name to Frank
Kline. Nelson is all muscle and bone, but,
unlike many of the hopes, his muscle is
useful in that he is not muscle-hound.
And he knows bow to use his mitts both
in giving the wallop and warding ft off.
He has a god foot action and for a big
fellow steps around rather lively He is a
straight puncher and doesn't waste many.
Lavine is anxious to get Ned Carpenter,
the Burlington hop*. In the ring and will
secure a club for the pair If Corpenter
will consent to a match. A few more
lights and Lavine will send him against
men of Palzer's closs. It is his manager's

loe Mandot Is Only Card Left !
ForChampion Wolgast to Fight I
By Sol Plex.
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Ad Wol
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.
Wolgast 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
ers fight had such a peculiar end
ing that half qf Los Angeles be
lieves to this day that Rivers won,
and the other half believed, until
the Mandot fight, that Rivers would
have stopped Ad had they fought
again.
