OUGHT
 TO HAVE FIRST CHANCE AT JOHNSON
"B.g AP' Kaufman is Also Clamoring for
 a Chance at Big, Black Man.
Special from United Press )


 New York. March 31-The heavy weight pugilistic situation today is in a muddle. Jack Johnson $5.0C0 which he posted whei. he arrived here, for fight with Jim Jeffries or any other fighter, has been covered by both Will lus Britt. ma nager for Stanley Ketch- ell, middleweight champion, and by Billy Delaney, manager for Big Al'' Kaufman.
 The sporting public believe that Ketchen should be given the first chance against the negro champion They base their conclusions on the fact that Ketchell has always been flanker- ing for a match with Johnson, while Delaney only a few weeks ago stated that he was not ready to meet Ketch- ell or Johnson, nCeferring to wait a year or so before he would let the big Californian tackle the negro.
 In addition to the two live ones who have covered Johnson's forfeit. there are today two has beens" who are willing to meet the negro champion Tom Sharkey and Jim Corbett. But the public look upon these two chal- lenges as simply advertising lodges.
