fpHG news that John Arthur Johnnon, former champion Itenvyu eight
pugilist, lind arrived In ,11a vanu, Cuba, Is not much of n surprise, for
the dusky warrior for years has been Marking up n determination to return
to his native land and answer the charges which made him n fugitive
from Justice. Johnson li clote to the tTn!ted Stutei at clotc as he ever
has been since escaping the Indictment brought nsalnst him in CIiIctko
In 1912. He toured Kurope, welcome In some count! lei and not bo welcome
In others. In England he was nshed to depart after playing In the prin
cipal cities with his theatrical troupe. They grw tired of him In Paris,
and nt the end tho big black located In Itarcclotia, Spain, where ha wan
Bald to havo been fairly well llxcd.
Now he Is close to the -shores of America and plans to go to Mexico
City to -..gago In ile boxing contests. That Is tho story which Hashed
over the wires, but it is believed he soon will oomo back to his native land
and serve n prison (sentence If that will Insure his freedom in the future.
Jack has been a man without u country for nine long years. He has
been a compulsory exile, cut off from hli home and friends a fugitive
who was "wanted" by tho police, lint there never has been a moment of
his exile that he did not long to return to America, Perhaps the fact that
ho couldn't return made the longing all" the keener, and those who met
him on the other side were deluged with questions about the old scenes
and old acquaintances.
It Is haul that the best Jack got was a little tho worst of It when ho
fell afoul of the law, but no grief was expressed when ho left tho country
for foreign shores. Jack had a faculty of getting In bad with tho authori
ties and neer being able to get out of trouble.
11K WAS arrested on a white stave charge in Chicago anil faced
a long term in prison U'tien he u lelcascd on tail, lie es
caped into Canada and fium lliere tailed for liitulaml. Jlc never
has bten bach.
I'rospcrtms in Chicago as Cafe Proprietor
JOHNSON was getting along nicely In Chicago before his last Jam with
the police. He owned a big cafe on the South Side, where colored elite
used to gather. The furnishings were magnificent and Jack took special
.pride in telling his friends all about the cuspidors, which wcie made nf
silver and cost $70 each, llusiness was good because the champion was
popular and everything was done on a cash basis.
But troublo came to the prosperous cafe and soon the owner was
among those missing. Jack hud no desire to don a striped Milt and qualify
as a hophomore in the stale penitentiary. He put up ?3S,000 In cash us a
bond and then made a clean getawuj.
Jack Is u shrewd person. lie knew he would be closely watched, su
made his plans accordingly At that time u coloted baseball teum ;is
touring the country and .luck Joined It as trainer. Dressed in old, hhabby
clothes and wearing a cap pulled down over his cjes, he looked lil.o u
typical roustabout, and finally worked his way ftito Canada. From then
he took ii steamship for Kngland and decided to live there until he played
out his string. j
However, ho had a penchant for setting Into tumult ami soon was a
frequent visitor In the couits. Ho drove a big racing cur, had an utter
disregard for the speed laws anil the authorities soon grew- tlied of hlni.
.Jack was making lots of money In Kngland. for in addition to his theatrical
troupe he sold uutomoblle accessories, such as headlights and tires, adver
tised them from the stage and the public felt honoied to buy from him.
He also was a traveling agent for one of the most popular cars la 1'ng
land and his sales were enormous.
It has been said that Johnson wus broke, but such Is not the case.
Economy never Was part of his routine, but ho ulvvajs had some inoney
laid aside and saved It for the "well-known rainy day. He was considered
a -wealthy man in Spain, for Lieutenant lien Clime, who saw him In lladrld
less than a year ugo, said Jack was one of the Inllueutlal citizens and u.
favorite of the head-waiters. A guy must havo money to bo affluent with
the czars of the big cafes.
JOIIXSOX has always loved jeuvls. motorcar ami other expensive
luxuries, and nevir denied himself iiij of these. Ills puco has
been a rapid one, but Iiis keen sUrctcdiiesi kepi hit account on the

Too Old ami
Nc
'OW ho Is back to the scene of Ids
Jess "Wlllard relieved him of
twenty-six rounds of grueling lighting. Jack now s.as tin? bout was a
frame-up; that ho laid down for $30,000 and a promise of Immunity from
tho Chicago courts. This never has been believed, for every one at tho
ringside is willing to take an oath that the bout was on tho level.
Hut even then three years ago Johnson wanted to get back to his
old home. Perhaps tho promoters did promise to do something for him
when tho match was signed, but Jack should havo known better than
placo any dependence on those persons. Making promises is their long
suit, l'crhups In- has fallen for some more of that immunity stuff in sign
ing for those'tlve fights in Mexico City.
But the qiiestiou now arl-es, Can Johnson como back as a boxer'.' At
Havana, before' the Wlllard fight, he admitted ho wus fortj-ono years of
Age. Tho record books hud him ut thirty-nine, but Jack admitted he
cheated a couple of years on his uge. Ho could not get into condition then,
and it Is unlikely that he can do It now, at tho ago of forty-four.
When ho first reached Havana, In 1916, after a roundabout Journey
from Franco,, to Buenos Aires and then to Cuba on a fishing sloop. Jack
worked ha'ro; and apparently was making a desperato effort to get him
self right for tho tight. Without any warning, however, ho "soon knocked
off the more strenuous features and confined himself to very light work.
It muy be that ho saw ho could not get Into condition and guvo It up
ns d bad Job, trusting to his ring generalship and experience and. the
possibility of Willurd's Inexperience to get b. Whatever tho reasons, he
certainly did not train as ho used to train and his dally workouts a week

NO RISE IN PRICE OF
AMERICAN GOLF BALLS
Last Year's List of V. S.
Makes to Remain, but
Foreign Styles Show. In
crease KNIGHT AFTER RECORD
By PETER PUTTER
THE new revenue bill has Just one
ray of light In It nnd that Is that
golf balls will not cost any moro this
year than they did last year. But this
has been arranged In such a way that
the dealer carries tho tax and docs not
pass it on to the player.
There has been d'scrlmlnatlon against
the manufacturer of sporting goods. For
Instance, the taxes on automobiles and
talking machines and a lot o things
jumped from 3 to S per cent, but In the
case of sporting goods manufacturers
It went from 3 to 10 per cent and If
that Is not discrimination Just what Is
It? Brhjga' cartoon in Monday's Even
ing: Puiilic Ledger hits the nail on the
head, for It Is shown that tho small
boy buys most of tho baseballs sold.
There Is an effort on foot on the part of
tho sporting goods men to have the tax
cut and it ought to be. They aro will
ing and anxious to do their share In
paying tho freight of the big war, but
there Is no reason jvvhy they should be
taxed more than any other class of
manufacturer.
As a rule the consumer pays the
tax. The manufacturer passes the buck
to tho dealers and Jobbers and they to
the retailer and the retailer to the con
sumer and as there Is no one left the
consumer pays. Fortunately the dealer
will pay the 10 per cent this year and
golf balls will not cost any more than
they d'd last year.
Foreign Balls Expensive
Foreign balls, like the Radio and the
Silver King, have gone up. for Radios
will cost M.05 and the Silver Kings
$1,25. Spalding had ?2 balls last year.
This year there will be four the Thir
ty, Forty, Fifty and Sixty, and tho
only difference between the first, two
and the last two will bo that tho" new
balls will have a tougher cover. The
softer-covered balls had only one ad
anlage, and that was that they could
be driven farther ; but what was the ad
vantage of a ball that could be hit
twenty to forty yards farther than an
other type If at the end of a round It
was cut to plecec? Last fall the writer

Columbia University committee "on ath

yesterday over the selection of a rowing:
coach for this reason. It was announced
after the conference that lit was Impos

It Is understood that the sentiment ot
the committee is in favor of the engage
