SEEKING
CONTEST

Fight Winner of Dempsey
Carpentier Bout.
CALEXICO. CaL, March SI. (L N. S.)
Jack Johnson, former champion
pugilist of the world, arrived at Mexi
can, across the border from here, today.
He has opened negotiations for a fight
with "some promising battler" here in
the near future.
Johnson was accompanied to Mexicall
from Mexico City by his wife and her
maid. He carried a passport said to
have been given him by the United
States embassy at Mexico City.
MEANS BUSINESS
"I -tame to Mexicall to be near enough
to Los Angeles to arrange to meet the
winner of the Jack Dempsey-Georges
Carpentler fight," said Johnson In J1
seriousness this afternoon.
"I expect to open negotiations with
Jack Kearns and with Carpentier's man
ager, and I mean business, mister."
Asked if he intends entering the
United States, Johnson replied, giving
his golden smile its famous play:
WOCLD BETTJBN AFTER BOCT
"Not right in the immediate future.
But after my fight with the winner of
the next world's championship bout 111
surely return to the good old U. S. A."
The former champion looks splendidly
fit. He is well groomed and struts
aronnd Mexican's cafes with a cane and
a fine air. He was met by Fred Dato,
Governor Cantu's brother-in-law and
right hand man to the governor of Low
er California. It is rumored that Dato
