EXPOsTU[ATING
WITH 7. BURNS

LONDON. May 16.-Lord Lonsdale
has taken a hand in the public de-
bate over the proposed fight between
Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson for
the heavyweight championship OF the
world.
Lord Lonsdale sent Burns a tele-
gram last night telling Burns that
he ought 10 fight Johnson on the same
financial terms that former heavy
weight champions took on their OPP
ponents. He also said that he didn't
think Burns had the right TO decide
the size OF the stake.
Burns is fast losing favor with the
general public owing to his generally
excessive demands.
