er from the drop Of the flag. johnson will
arrive in Baltimore this afternoon ac-

ity of besting the other and a good deal
OF money has already been wagered on the

good trim and will present interesting
bouts. The heavyweight contest espe-
clally causes no end of comment among

guarantees good clean boxing with plen-
~ of "tobasco'' sauce.
