JOHN L'S IDEA OF
CHAMPIONSHIP
Says Johnson Can Nevex*
Dictate to White Men
and Hope for Match.
BOSTON.—Despite Jack Johnsons
decisive victory over Tommy Burns
he will never have the prestige of a
white champion, according to John i..
Buliv. on.
"It does not matter if Johnson is
the champion,” said John L today,
"if Jefferies, Corbett or any white
man consents to meet him they will
do the dictating. Johnson will have
to accept their, terms or go without
a match, and without a match how is
he going to get any amount of mon
ey? Of course, he will play the
theaters, but it is JCmbtful if he will
be a great drawing card.
“If any of the ex-champions agree
to meet him they will make Johnson
split the purse. There is no winner
take all basis in the ring nowadays.
Corbett ahd I were the last ones to
eox under such conditions.
"It’s ridiculous for any one to think
that Corbett has any chance of de
feating Johnson. He has reached
tne age, where he is going back.
wliT.e Johnson is coming along. As
for Jefferies, if he can ge* in shape
he lias a good chance. He knows
better than anyone else whether or
not he can get in shape.”

Murder Prince Crun, the Regent, shown on the
right.

PULLUM Miff'
lIIiyiSEBILL
Head of National League
Says This Season May Be
His Last.
CINCINNATI.—President Pulliam,
of the National League, Is one with
the statement that this may be his
last season as head of that organiza
tion. He declares that he Is sick of
the continual wrangles which are
bound to come the way of anyone in
his position and thinks he needs a
change.
If Pulliam can see where it will
profit him to make a change, he will
turn In his resignation next fall, he
says. It Is said he contemplates tak
ing over the controling interest of a
certain National League club on the
eastern end of the circuit, and that
his Interest In league affairs will go
no further than participation as a
club presided.
Pulliam's administration has been
rather a stormy one. He may not. al
ways have been right In his conten
tions, but he had the courage of his
convictions, and never attempted to
straddle issues, It Is said. He has
b««n criticised In New York as much
as anywhere, but as the seasons roll
by the club owners have grown to
have faith In him and his honesty
FINISH IN MARATHON RACE
«. ■***••.. MW?7 i\ ,* >
But Pulliam has his enemies, and he
declares he Is disgusted with petty
annoyances and concealed daggers.
Knowing just what condition ev
ery National League club Is 14, Pul
liam might, avail himself of an op
portunity to establish himself in one
of the cities. He was secretary and
business manager of the Louisville
and Pittsburg clubs, quitting the lat
i ter city to accept, the presidency of
the league. He was one of the most
efficient and popular business man
agers In the league, and as the presi
dent of a club should enjoy Just as
much popularity.
As president of the league and a
member of the National commission,
Pulliam has had his troubles. He is
not the sort of man to speak soft
words to persons whom he thinks
are hts enemies, and he makes no
secrets of his likes and dislikes.
Among the prominent baseball men
not on Harry’s calling list are Pat
Powers, president of the Eastern
League, and “Orator Jim" O’Kourke.
There are others, too. Pulliam and
Powers had a “run-in” last winter,
and since then the former declares
that Pat has never overlooked an op
portunity to harass him.

DENER —When asked as to wheth
er there is any truth to statements
to the effect that he may re-enter ih-t
ring, Corbett, who is playing a thea
trical engagement here, said:
"I have been so often misquoted
of late that I am almost, afraid to
say anything. A week or no ago I
made a kidding remark to the ef
fect that If nobody else would fight
Jack Johnson, I would on tempted
to take a chance at nlm because I
hated to see a colored heavvwteght
champion. ,
“Since that time It has been pass
ed the length and bread,h of the
land that I would fight Johnson un
less Jefferies did, and many other
such statements as the result of be
ing taken seriously when 1 was jok
ing. I burled my pugilistic ambitions
long ago and they were replaced by
v desire to become an actor pleasing
enough to the people to win applause
regardless of the memories of my
days la the ring.
“I would like to see Jefferies fight
Johnson, for the reason that with

blow. Because Johnson boat Burns
Is no reason for figuring him a won

"Instead of facing tough opponents

blows to vulnerable jpots In ‘Pacing
