OF the statements of the Toronto party
was that Longboat would be glad TO

the fact that he doesn't expect TO

but does say that he will make John

AS neither Johnson nor Burns could
agree upon a referee for Saturday 8

referee the battle. Burns and John

The Australian public sympathizes
with Burns because he is white man
and the feeling was reflected in the
betting yesterday. which was 2 to
on Burns. Experts said those odus
were unfair and today they slipped to
to 5. the odds against Johnson being
due to the rumor that he has not
trained properly.
The Australian sporting papers
criticised Johnson to some extent for
being around the streets and cafes
OF Sydney when he should have been
at his training camp, but in the face
OF this. several letters from Sam Fitz-
patrick made It appear tina; Johnson
was giving himself a serious prepar-
alton. and that the Negro was In bet
ter shape than he ever had been on
the eve OF a contest In this country.
II Is now midsummer in Australia,
and as Christmas weather there Is in
variably the hottest OF the year. IT
goes without saving that Burns and
Johnson will fight beneath the blaz-
ing sun. The hour set for the con-
test is an unusual one, but the reason
for 1t is obvious TO all acquainted
with Australian sporting matters One
of the biggest race meetings OF the
year will begin at Randwick course

allow the sporting public TO attend
