fellow to re-enter the arena against
Johnson or a man TO be selected.
Before starting Smith said:
THE plan is to bring Jeffries and
Johnson or any other man In the class
together, or match Burns and John

ship. A purse OF from 10000 to $40.-
600 ought to be an inducement at this

for fight between Cans and Nelson.
Mcfarland or Unholz will be $4,000,
similar amounts being offered for bat
ties between Attell and Moran and
Ketchell and Papke.
The battles probably VIII be pulled
off within couple OF hours ride to
Spokane next summer or fall. We
expect to run special trains from vari-
Gus parts of the Pacific northwest, in
GLIDING the California coast.
Regarding the canceling of the fight
tournament last year, Smith said
"The 100000 fund for the battles
was practically subscribed. the arena
