BURNS MAY FIGHT
BIG JACK JOHNSON

NEW YORK. August H-(,harfey Haryev
who acts as eastern representative Of Jamea
Conroth, the western fight promoter. an
onunced last night that he had received a
Telegram from Conroth saying that he
had matched Jack johnson and Tommy
Burns to fight forty-ave rounds at Coln,a
September for a purse OF $4,000. COT
froth asserted in his telegram that Burns
had agreed to fight and Harvey said last
night that johnson is only too glad to Sc
cure tho chance to fight Burns
The battle will be the big attraction at
Colma on admission day. when a tourna-
ment OF sports will be held at various
places in California. and will also be for
the heavy-weight championship of the
O'Brien Burns has been claiming the title
and his quick defeat of Bill Souires. the
Australian heavyweight champion. has
served to strengthen hts claim.
Johnson has defeated all tho big men
whom he could induce to fight him, and
for long time has been striving to get
Burns to agree to fight. Immediately after
the Johnson-Fh zsianuons fisht. which the
dusky heavyweight won in the second
round, Burns announced that he was will
ing to fight johnson. But when johnson
showed alacrity in accepting the match
Burns declared that his wife would not let
ihm fight the negro.
Mrs Burns objections seem to have been
oyerruled probably because Of the big
amount offered for the battle and she has
given her consent and viii allow her pu-
giustic husband to fight johnson lust this
once"
For a long time followers Of hsticufSs
have been clamOr!ng for q fght between
johnson and one of the other prominent
heayyweigfts but until Burns agreed to
meet Johnson the big black has been una
BILE to secure a match with any Of the
white heavies. Hts match with Fitzsim-
mons was justly regarded as a Joke, for
poor old Fftz was long past his usefulness
and effectiveness as fighter when he met
Johnson in the Philadelphia ring
Both Of the fighters will begin light train
ing today. and after two weeks will go into
active preparation for tho contest.

Sells English Estate.


Special C4ble3ram to The Star.
LONDON. August 6-The Yorkshire Her
aid. one of the leading provincial newspa-
pers. has just published a letter from Lord
Masham bidding his tenants on tho Jervaul
estate farewell and explaining why he sold
It after having held 1t for nearly twenty
years. During that time he said his rents
had been reduced and doubtless the profits
OF the tenants had become less, but stf1l
they had got on pleasantly and had reached
q level satisfactory to both. and might have
continued another eighteen years. His lord
ship adds:
What caused me to part with the estate
has been nothing but the proposed land
legislation Of the present government and
their undisguised hostility to landlords I
too large a holding to be prudent. and that
1t would be wise to reduce It. Hence my
parting with the Jervaulx estate.

The Controller was quoted as saying: or
course, everybody knows there is graft in acQulr-
ing school sites or any other kind of sites, and
there always Will be long as Supreme Court
