SAILOR BURKE VS JOHNSON
 BIG FISTIC EXHIBITION
Tomorrow Night-Terry Mo. Govern and Young Corbett
 to Box Three Rounds. I

Tomorrow night when Sailor Burkd and Jack Johnson face each other i'd the ring in Bridgeport under the aus pices of the Liberty Athletic club in d| six round bout, patrons of boxing will probably see one of the greatest exl hibitions of the fistic art ever pulled off in the east. It will be a spectacll of fearless middleweight, who is thd greatest natural fighting machine noy| in the ring, against a giant African! who has been side-stepped by all o4 the other men of his weight Ordinarj lily one would see nothing else than deI feat for the smaller man, but, strang as it may seem, there are hundreds o7 students of the game who are conH Ivlnced that Sailor Burke has an eve chance with Johnson. They reaso3 that Johnson is clever and big an8 would be able to protect himself fror1 most of the heavies now in the rindi but against Burke these students d& I the game question If Johnson, with a E his science, can keep Burke from bull7 rushing his guard and hammering hirR down with body punches. It has bed the smaller, hard hitting men wh have always given the big fellows tf trouble. For instance, look at Joe Wa colt. He was a terror for big mel simply because the big fellows eoul not get down to where he was an Joe always found an opening to the stomach. This is what Sailor BurlM believes he can do when he meeF Johnson.
 Burke has been training for mont at Bonds training quarters in stra ford and is in perfect condition. He in trim to fight like a demon and is fit to take punishment and stand 1 His one trouble has been to get spa ring partners, for he has put out. e eryone that has been there, except tl last one who arrived on Saturday. I is Jim Savage, the fighting Halter Orange, N. J., and Savage, who is heavyweight, saysthe sailor is iike to tap him for count at any momeE E of their boxing. Burke will insist the smallest ring possible for prac cal purposes. He wants no runni ! race, for this fearless sailor man req thinks that he will make Johns break ground when he rushes him.
 One of the additional attractions this great boxing show will be
 appearance of those two great lit men, Terry McGovern and Young Cd belt, in a three round exhibition. r will be the first appearance in riH ! in Connecticut of these once grd rivals since their memorable bout M Hartford on Thanksgiving day alm six years ago. They were rivals tn they are close friends now. But
 three rounds they box are pretty wal In addition to this there will be t other six round preliniinaries betw fast little men.
 A special train will be run from N York to accommodate that bunch,
