already promised to take the trip, and
one or two more may accompany them.

set for late in November and the pre-
liminaries for one week prior to that
time.
Efforts will be made to send either
Carl Behr. the former intercollegiate
champion. OF II. E. Hackett with the
other pair, and it is possible that both

BURNS SAYS He

The following article is clipped from
the Denver Post, paper of which
Otto Floto, Of circus fame, is sporting
editor. Opinions and articles from the
Post are always well worth noting. as
Floto Is one of the surest authorities
on all kinds of sport dope, and the
paper has recently added to its staff

Examiner, and one of the greatest
slang-sGngers on the continent.

have care or Sam Langford viii beat
him TO the big fellow. Langford is now
setting sail Tor Johnson and Ketchel.
He does not care which of the pair he
meets, all he wants is q chance TO fight
somebody. johnson has not TO date re-
piled TO Langford s challenge, and
probably viii not do so, for he once
upon time tackled Langford for if
teen rounds at Boston, and will not
forget the experience. He does not
care TO again tackle the hard hitting
Sambo.
"Ketehel has also failed to reply TO
Langford, and viii probably draw the
color line. We can t blame Ketehel
for refusing to meet Langford: he is
coming to the top fast, and by drawing
the color line viii remain for some time
to come
.'Below is letter written by Tommy
Burns just before he sailed for Aus
tralia, and it has some interesting dope
for the fight fan:

NICARAGUA ADOPTS
EMBLEMS OF PEACE
New Coat-of-ArmS Filed by
the Central American
Republic.

The Republic of Nicaragua has adopt
ed a new coat-of-arms, a copy OF which
was today filed by Senior Don Luis +
Corea. the diplomatic representative,
with the Bureau of American RepuD-
lies.
In view of the era of peace and tran
guilty which it IS hoped has been es-
tablished in Central America, the de-
sign has been prepared expressly with
regard to its peaceful significance. The
main details OF the old cOat-Of-arms
have been preserved. There is the same
group of I'VE green covered mountains
separating the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. with the red cap of liberty sus-
pended above.
But in the .old design, flags and bay
ouetted muskets appeared on either
SIDE and two crossed cannon below. In
the new design all Of these embiems OF
war and victory have been eliminated
Instead. me mountains. representing
the FIVE states of the republic, and the
red cap. are enclosed ia an equal-sided
triangle &c signify equality. Above the
cap Of liberty appears a rainbow de-
noting peace and fraternity
The whole makes a highly ornate
shield with nothing suggestive of aught
but good will and peace TO men.
