Showing in Ferguson Bout.
Manager Zekc Abrams does not believe
his coorcd charge, Jack Johnson, was ac-
corded fair treatment by the press and
public when he fought Sandy Ferguson.
Some Of those who knocked the fight the
hardest doomed Ferguson as the coming
heavyweight champion before the men
met.
There is just little inside history to
that fight that has never come out" said
Abrams recently, "and it is this: Just
before the contest Ferguson said he would
not fight If they did not break away clean

rules suit Jack the best. When Ferguson

Agreeing to break clean just tied his

roughcd it with him. and knocked him
down three times. If he could have
fought the same way against Ferguson you
would have seen something drop. There
is nothing to that. Now to satisfy the
sporting world that Johnson is entitled
to meet Jeiires we are ready to make this
proposition: The sporting writer can Sc
lcct any heavyweight, Munroc or Sharkey
preferred, and if Jack does not lick him
we do not want cent. The writers can
pick any man they want to and Johnson
will fight him. If Jack beats him, then
he wants to fight Jcifries, which he would
be entitled to. There are no two ways
about it, Jack wants to meet the big
champion, and he will agree to most any
terms to get on with him.
