JOHNSON TIRES
OF SIMPLE LIFE
Champion Heavyweight Again
Teams For Excitement.
WOULD BE A SPEED PILOT,
Pugilist Would Like Nothing Better
Than to Be Driver of Auto In One of
Big Races May Fight Again In Near
Future.
According to Jack Johnson's latest
utterances, he has become weary of
leading the simple life and for no other
reason has made Dp his mind to return
to the ring. The big black declares
that be craves excitement and, not find
ing it in the cafe business, has decided
to return to the more lively occupation
at which he has been so successful
For a time, he says, he found a few
thrills in cracking the speed limit with
his big car, but now he has about ex
hausted the possibilities in this direc
tion, and such simple pleasures have
begun to pall.
It lias long been Johnson's ambition
to shine as a pilot of a car in one of
the big races, tie has repeatedly tried
to break down the wall of prejudice
that keeps him out, but to no purpose.
The racing authorities remain firm in
their stand to refuse his entry, and the
best Johnson has been able to do is to
tune up his car when the course was
not occupied by the licensed drivers.
Johnson also declares that recent
events have made him become tired of
Chicago and he is anxious to go abroad
again. He will even dispose of his
place of business if he can get a suit
able offer. If nothing comes of the ne
gotiations with W. C. Kelly to make
the trip to Australia, Johnson says he
will try for a match in Paris.
But with all his expressed disgust at
his present environment Johnson has
not become so reckless as to neglect to
demand a fancy price for his services.
Nor have his troubles caused him to
lose any weight He appears to scale
at least 250 pounds and is packing on
flesh steadily. Whether be is serious in
declaring that he is willing to take on
Langford and McVey in Australia re
mains to be seen. He has been so prod
igal of statements that contained little
fact that those who know him pay lit
tle attention to his war talk. But it is
very evident that he is becoming rest
less and is looking for a change of
some kind. No doubt he would jump at
a chance to meet another opponent of
the Jim Plynn type. But whether he
is reckless euough to go through the
loug training grind necessary to meet
an opponent of Langford's caliber Is
extremely doubtful.
BACKS BRITISHERS HEAVILY.
Hall to Bet $100,000 That They Can
Lift the Polo Cup.
W. A. Uembert Hall of the Polo
Monthly has announced that he will
have $100,000 of English money to bet
that the English polo team will lift the
cup from the American team next year.
In his statement he says that the Eng
lish feel quite confident this year that
they will win the international match.
So confident are they that money is
now on the way here to cover some
American bets. "We have one lot in
England of $50,000," says Hall, "and
another lot with a New York banker of
$50,000 to place in New York that the
English team will win three straight
matches." He goes on to state that for
months agent of the Duke of West
minster have been searching for polo
ponies and now have practically all
worth having in England.
Belvasia to Be Retired.
Belvasia, 2:0fii4, is to be retired to
the brood mare ranks, and it is expect
ed that she will be bred to The Har
vester next spring.

employ the system which they learned
at their alma mater and soon have a
winner.
Notable examples are Bill Hollen
back and Bob Folwell of Pennsylvania.
There are many others. A decade ago
the small college had no coach from
the big university. The physical di
rector or a graduate taught the foot
ball men the little he knew. Now,
with the advent of the coaches from
the big universities, the so called "little
teams" are learning football. And in
many cases they have the material t
execute their lessons.

ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large or
small, thereby furnishing any required amount of light.
Furthermore, electric lamps can be located in any place
thus affording any desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, there
tore it is not surprising that electric lamps are rapidly
replacing all others in modern establishments.
