JOHNSON LIKES THE LIMELIGHT. Champion Will Not Begin Hard Training Until June. HAS HIS OWN METHODS. 8aye He Dots Not Need Mora Than Three or Four Weeka to Fit Him For Coming Battla Will Wolgh About 198 Pounds When Ho Tacklae Jaff. Until recently the all absorbing ques tion was, Will Jeffries be able to get iito condition? Now they are asking If Jack Johnson will be able to do him elf Justice July 4. Some people are Worrying because the negro is having a good time at his Seal Hock quarters, near San Francisco, and has not set tled down to the real hard training. There Is no need for any worry. John ton knows how to get Into shape for a battle. The negro champion needs only the fraction of the time Jeffries Is using for the preparation, as he has been fighting often and can get Into shape very quickly. Just at present he Is getting all there la to be had out of the sensation of being a prominent figure in the public eye. lie seems to feel that the hard grind of the training season will be on whenever be makes up his mind to for sake pleasure and meet it face to face. While training for his fight with Tom my Iiurns in Australia some of the well meaning visitors did not like Johnson's style of preparing for a world's championship fight, and they made suggestions. Johnson heard them and was quick to resent. From these training camp experiences devel oped the feeling of dissatisfaction which resulted In Johnson turning Sam Fitzpatrick, a valuable, conscien tious manager and advertiser, adrift. Johnson has some sound logic of fan epigrammatic nature in his comments on training. He says: "A fighter when in the ring may wish he had some of the strength he wasted on a wood pile. ' "No heavyweight fighter needs to starve In order to be fast enough to enter the ring. "It Is tax enough on any one's strength to fight, so it is better to save all your power by refusing to worry.' Johnson says he will begin real hard training about the first week in June, Then he will get busy with, the weight machines, the medicine ball and the four round tilts with the human punch Photo by American I'rest Association, LATEST PICTURE OF JACK JOHNBON. log bags to be in fit fettle to meet Jef fries, lie can reach the prime condi tion notch In three weeks. If he started sooner he might find himself stale. He knows what's good for him and doesn't have to monkey around to find out how long he should train or what kind of work suits him. Johnson has his mind set on being at concert pitch by July 1 aud then be able to hold himself In trim from then until he faces Jeffries In the ring. When Johnson arrived at the train ing camp he tipped the scales at 220 iwunds. After u few twelve mile runs on the roud he weighed 210. In talk ing about his weight recently John son said; ' "It never worries me bow much or how little I weigh. My training is all bused on how I feel and perform. If I could hit as hard, be as fast and feel ns well 1 would not enre whether I weighed a ton or 1.T0 pounds. But common sense tells me that 108 or 200 pounds Is enough for me to weigh and be at my best. I do not expect to weigh an ounce more than 108 when I meet Mr. Jeffries. It is not necessary for me to tip over buildings or wrestle with bears. All I need la some out door work, a little boxing to retain npeed, and I will be there without an excuse prepared." Manager Little has taken every pre caution to safeguard Johnson against any tampering with his food. The ne gro has a special cook and waiter, and every enre Is being token to see that raw as well as cooked food is free from anything that will harm the heavyweight, So that the new cook may not find the time hanging heavy on her hands Little has hnd special chicken yards in stalled tit Seal Itock House and Is also liigconhollng the roof cots so as to in crease the squab outfit. "Jeffries mny be able to outbox this fellow, but Jack can give him cards mid spades eating chickens," sold Man ager Little recently. "He only gets nway with six squabs at a meal."

Value of. a Surplus of Energy In th Battle of Lifo. In every department of life phys ical, mental unci n iral reserves are of incalculable valuo. Many people work so hard that they exhaust their physical energies each day. They make it a matter of con science to wade through just as much work ns possible every day, no matter how painfully it is done, not realizing the tremendous value of keeping oneself vigorous, buoyant. No life can be vigorous if it is not kept fresh, responsive, by great physical and mental reserves. As hibernating animals, like the bear, in cold climates sustain life through the winter wholly upon the reserve fat and nutriment stored up in the tissues, so patients who have splen did physical reserves and resisting power are carried through severe sickness and sustained through se vere illnesses by this reserve sur plus, stored up vital power, while those who lack it, those who have dissipated it in abnormal living and excesses, often lose their lives even in much less severe illnesses. Great business men accomplish marvels with their reserves. Many of them work but a few hours a day, but they have such tremendous physical reserves and so much stor ed up mental energy that they are ablo to . accomplish wonders in a short time because of their ability to work with great intensity and powerful concentration. rcople who keep their physical and mental surplus drawn down very low by working a great many hours and almost never taking va cations, who do not fill their reserve reservoir by frequent vacations and by a lot of recreation and play, do not work with anything like the freshness and mental vigor of those who work fewer hours and con stantlv accumulate creat reserve power. There comes into every life worth while a time when success will turn upon the reserve power. It is then a question of how long your stored up energy will enable you to hold out. There wul often arise emer gencies when your success will de pend upon how much fight there is m you. Success Magazine. Tho Tree Moved. M. Thouar during his explora tions in South Africa had occasion to apprehend an attack from hos tile natives. lie kept his men on the watch for six days, though they were worn out with fatigue. "Once a sentinel slept leaning on his gun," he wTote. "I woke him and warned him that one of the least dangers of such a sleep was that a Toba spy would fall on him and kill him with his own gun. While we talked 1 observed that a little tree which I had noticed ear lier now occupied a different posi tion. I fixed ray attention on it and saw that it moved almost im perceptibly. I had seen such a phe nomenon before. The sentinel and I prctcnded.to sleep. Tho tree con tinued to approach. Suddenly I raised my gun and fired. We rush ed forward. There lay a Toba wounded in the leg and grasping the branch with which he had dis guised himself as a tree." jjjj sutii bend. jjjj Scivcr was a visitor to Monday morning on the WHO IS BEST THIRD SACKER?

I started a frog farm, and the frogs swallowed all of his snails." "Well, you got satisfaction any way, old man. "Only for awhile. Jed got 60 all fired hot under the collar, blamed if he didn't start a snake farm, and in two days they had swallowed ev ery frog in sight.

W ...PRICES Boston Americans' Star on All Around Value Said to Outrank Hia Competi tor Davlin of Naw York Second Choice. "Who Is the best third baseman In the big leagus?" 1b a question that Is being much debated at present, and the debate In fact has been one of ex treme keenness ever since those past masters Jim Collins and Lave Cross passed out of the fast company. Bill Bradley of Cleveland, who would have been a strong candidate, has fallen away of late, especially In batting, and Tommy Leach of Pittsburg, another corker on the farther sack, Is now play ing In the outfield. The best man In the third base game today Is hard to choose, and every candidate has parti sans who back him strongly; but, tak ing all things Into consideration, Harry Lord of the Boston Americans classes ns the top liner of the present day. Arthur Devlin Is counted by many fans, especially New Yorkers, as the leader. He hns been a wonder In his day and Is still a star, but Lord Is the stronger player as a batsman and a base runner, while there Is little If anything to choose between them In fielding tho position. Lord therefore outranks Devlin in net value to a team, and where outside of Devllu has he a fit competitor? Sweeney and Ilerzog of the Boston Nationals cannot class anywhere near Lord. He won't get any opposition In his own town. Brooklyn, with Leu nox, shows n remarkably strong play er, who may take the topnotch laurels In n year or two. Lennox Is a strong nlnvs third in a fitvle that Is ns perfect mechanieaily as any iraMMMMMlSMIia one can display. Steinfeldt of the Chicago Cubs comes just a little short of Devlin lu batting. base running and territory covered. Steiny is aging, but is still a wholly competent man and far from the has been division. Lobert of the Reds when in proper form is a good, husky third baseman. Eddie Grant of the Quakers is steadi ly gaining in all departments. The champion Pirates now use Bobby Byrne on third, a midget who does his best, but Is not to be considered a topnotcher. St. Louis has Bnrbeau and Mowrey. Of these Barbeau is even smaller than Byrne and hardly as efficient. Mowrey is an unfortunate player who is growing old in big league uniforms, yet wlthont having a really fair chance to show whether he is a winner or a dub. Devlin therefore mny be rated as the star of the Nntlonal league, with Grant a faint shade below him. In the Amerlcnn league Baker of the Athletics is a tearing, murdering bats man, almost as frequent a hitter ns Lord and more on the long range, clean up pnttern. He is not ns fast on the bases aud hns a good deal to learn about the fine work In fielding the posi tion. Tannehill of the Chicago White Sox is still a beautiful player when it comes to fielding the bnse-the equal of nnv nnp tint hns BlWOVS been 0 weak hitter and is growing no younger, rurtell. who bids fair to cop the Job from Taunv. is a good hitter and fast fielder, but quite a way below the Lord or Ilpvlln standard. Bradley of Cleveland, once a wonder on the base and with the suck, is a weak batsman now. He can still field i.HiHimtiv but is outclassed In the batting line. Terrlng, his niter oate. In a good second rate plnyer. uot a star. Moriaritv of the Tigers Is un improv Inir nlaver. a Kxd batsiuau, a iasi run ner-a man who will be up uear the top within another year's gain in skill. Austin of New York Is a fairly good vount performer, but certainly cannot be rated as a leading star, emier us n Vmtter or a fielder. Wallace of St. Louis Is growing Old i and slowlug up. lienee can nuruiy ue counted u a competitor. Conroy of Washington Is a veteran, a fair cinBS performer, but no longer among tne headline!-!. it looks like Lord for the leading honors, all right, and he is quite likely to hold them through the season.
