BURNS AND JOHNSON AWAIT
CLANG OF STARTING GONG

SYDNEY, n. S. W.. Dec. 25.-Chan-
pion Tommy Burns will enter the ring
at Rushcutter's Bay 10 TO 8 fayorite
over Jack Johnson. the giant colored
man. who will try TO wrest his worlo 5
championship title from hinR
AT these odds nearly 100000 will
he In the balance when the men get
together, for never in the history ~
the game. either here or In any other
part OF the world. has fight aroused
such interest. Some OF the moneyei
men have made .wagers amounting 10
thousands OF pounds, but they have nc
monopoly at this game, for laborers
and every class OF people have riskod
their money on the big go" and the
sum total OF the shillings that have
been put up would be astounding could
1t be got at.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-12-25

The men, each as confident as a
fighter e->f was, are resting up for the
battle. and that they will fight TO the
last ounce OF their strength Is certain,
for never was there such bad blood
between boxers as has cropped out In
this case. 1t is certain that could the
men kill each other. they would do so
with punch. Burns has made thou
sands OF friends here. as has the
Negro, and these outsiders have taken
up the fight for their favorites In the
most rabid manner. Several fights
have resulted recently from arguments
over the ability OF the boxers.
The whole of Australia Is interested
in the contest. Although every effort
has been made by an association or
clei gymen TO have the big mill
stopped. there Is no chance of any IL
reference. so great is the demand
that Ii be held. Premier Wade. an
old athlete himself, is intensely inter
ested in the bout and will be in o
choice seat at the ringside when the
men put up their hands. With him
will be hundreds OF the best" people
OF the land, SO the fight is not au
AFFAIR for the riff-raff only.

 Prescott is fortunate in her location. Whenever a citizen of that town desires to see a little fun and excitement he just comes to Hope, without much loss of time or expense.
 Several attorneys from Hopes pretty little suburb, Prescott started to Washington this morning by the wagon road, but the team baked and it was fully an hour before they could be persuaded to go. The poor crea- lures evidently thought they were going to Prescott.
 There's a letter in the Prescott post office addressed to the pret- tiest girl in Arkansas. The letter was evidently misdirected and beyond question was intended for the Hope office.
