Johnson Ousts Little in Boxing Manager Feud
San Francisco June 5 news reports an open war between Jack Johnson and his manager George Little. Johnson discharged Little after a confrontation at the arena. Little claims a contract through May 1911 and threatens legal action, while Johnson asserts no binding agreement. The dispute delayed fights, though Johnson completed a heavy schedule weighing 213 pounds. In nearby Ben Lomond J J Jeffries sparred five hundred spectators with Choynski and Corbett, the latter now allied with Choynski.
