Tonight johnson, accompanied by
Sam Fitzpatrick, hts general mana
ger, visited the national sporting
club and witnessed fight between
Jem Bowker and Griffin. The latter
won. Burns was present, too, and
won pot of money by backing
Griffin, whom he seconded.
Burns cordially shook hands with
Fitzpatrick, but tho African wouldn't
even nod. johnson was then intro
FEaced to the club, and was given a
nne reception. as he appeared in the
ring. Tonight Sam Fitzpatrick said:
I'VE have a meeting tomorrow
with Mr.. Betlison, manager of the
National Sporting club, who offers a
$4,000, purse fo~ Johnson and
Burns. 1t Is agreeable to us to give
Burns two thirds Of this, win, loose
or draw, and bet $4,000 on the side
that Johnson stops him inside of 20
rounds.
This talk about Burns wanting
$50, 900 as his end strikes me as hot
air.s He says he is offered that
amount, but / cannot discover who
has made the offer. We. came over
here at our own expense, not looking
for any the best Of it, but simply
seeking fight. Johnson is ready
to meet Burns at any time"
