bout between Johnson and Fitzsimmons
Tomorrow night at the Washington
Sporting Club is exciting those pugilis-
tically inclined. and the Elks. or some OF
them. are not going 10 miss seeing the

Both fighters VIII arrive In the city to-
morrow Reports from their camps make
it appear that both men are In the best
of shape for the contest and that some
thing real will happen
Neither man has been in the ring for a
long time, but Johnson, because Of his
fewer years. Is better liked. It Is be-
lieved that Fitz is about all in as a bat
tier and that Johnson, If he extends him
self should be the winner
1t is also thought that johnson must
fight. for unless he makes good against
Fitz, his career Will get a setback that
he cannot afford. II he wins by a mar
gin. then he will have a future It is on
this reasoning that tie bout Is expected
