Whether Negro Wills will get a chance to step into the ring wtih the champioon must yet be decided. According to reports which have been circulating locally, Luis Angel Firpo boxed with Jack Johnson in a workout and the later made a monkey out of Firpo. This all was supposed to happen before Firpo and Dempsey stepped into the ring. Johnson in his day was a great boxer and he never met his equal while he was in fighting . will not be long before the small boy as well as the grown-u- p can again fish on the banks of the Jordan. The civic associations of the west side are contemplating the. building of a drive along the Jordan river, the straightening of some of the ungainly banks and curves and stopping the pollution of its waters. If the asociations go through with present plans many beautiful homes would be built along the banks of the river, but under its present condition the farther one gets away from the filthy and slimy banks of the river the better it is as far as his smelling sense is concerned. It could be made a great stream for boating and it would be very popular if the citizens become determined to clean up the present fitlhy stream. treasurer. OLMPIAN GAMES WILL DRAW MANY AMERICANS On the executive committee, Mrs. H. J. Hayward and Mrs. B. John Bier According to present estimate over 300 American amateur athletes will sail early in June from New York en route to Paris, where the worlds Olympic games will be held. Utah will have at least one representative in competition. The entry will be Sam Sharman, who will compete in the trapshooters tournament. Gus L. Becker of Ogden may also go as one of the trapshoot- ers. Owing to the great interest shown in athletics in Europe since the world war, it is said that the Americans will have muca harder competition than heretofore, and it is doubtful if the Americans will be able to carry away most of the honors, as they have done in the past.
