FOR S5O,OOO PURSE.
Hugh Mcintosh Will Endeavor to Enticc Jim Jeffries to
 Re Enter Ring.
TO FIGHT JACK JOHNSON
Receipts from saturdays Battle Ag- grcsalc Sia0OOO-squlrcs Chai-
 lCngcs Negro.

sydney N $, w. Dee 21 Amos. the sole topic of conversation here now is the Johnson Burns fight and the probability of getting James J Jer- fries to emerge from retirement and fight the new champion for the laulels the Californian once held
 Whether 1t Wiil he possible to ar- range q contest at Rusheutters Bay between Johnson and Jcffries ls not known, but certainly every effort to do so will be made hy Hugh Mcintosh, the fight promoter, who announces that hr will leave for the United states hy way of England January and hans up a purse of S5Oo0o in an endeayor to en- iice Jeffrios to come across seas anu meet Johnson
 That Mcintosh can afford to offer 8 monstrous purse for another cham pioushp go" is shown hy the fact that the receipts from Ihe Johnson Burns dght aggregated &l5o,01o
 Ths amount 1t is believed here l. the greatest ever taken in for a single prize fight or this sum Burns recely cd $So00o and Johnson SL5oo, Including $2.too for his travelling and training expenses.
 Thus far "Btn squires. the local heavyweight who thrice has been hanliE trimmed by Burns. Is lhr only man who has issued ( deh to Johnson and Che big Texan has slgnided his willingness to meet squres for $lo0Oo side, believing that a fight with the Australian would be like finding SO much money In roadway
 lt ls unlikely however, in view of the impression Johnson has made hero as lighter, that Squires will be able 10 ind a packer
 Johnson ls in ane condition and shows no marks of the battle with Burns While his end of the nurse for defeating thc champion was small in comparison with the amount received by Burns Johnson Is now enabled to pick mp a considerable sum of easy money on the vaudeville stage He has been engaged by q sydney music han for term of five weeks for an act consisting of bag punching and the methods employed by him in training For ths work hc will recover S1,75O DOT week In February he win sail for London where hc expects to nght sam Langfora tho tmcrican colorcd heavy weight, on Derby day before the Ma tional sporting club
 Burns also is in good condition ov- aept for diseoloratlons about the eyes and q badly swollen jaw Al first it was thought that tho ncgro's heavy swings had broken tho white mans jaw but ii now turns ont that it wns only badly bruised The French canadian adheros to the decision he made prior 10 thc meeting of John son that that would bc his last fight despite the result He says ho has made during his fighting career S2Oo.oOO and that this is enough 10 keep him from want
 When Promoter Mcintosh sails for londou next week he will take with him the moving pictures Of the entire Johnson Burns fight
