TO OPEN FIGHT BIDS

Gotham Sports Do No
Think Best Offer Will
Exceed $4,000.

NEW YORK. Nov. 3o.-The big fight
promoters are all in the game, and but
for their statements, il would be hard to
IMAGINE that there is as much real
money in the world as they are going
to offer for the privilege Of holding the
Johnson go.
The bids are to be opened tomorrow
morning in HOboken. Tom McCarey,
the Los Angeles promoter, is the latest
arrival on the scene and he has several
thousand dollars with him to act as his
forfeit. All the other big managers are
gathering.
Now that the period o. doping has
passed and the period OF action Is at
hard, the figures to be offered for the
fight are being shaved and conservative
sports think the purse which finally
/ lands the battle will not reach any
where near the much Wanted S100.OoC
ma rk Although Stakeholder Bob Muir

| Il Is not believed that more than -four
/ or FIVE OF them will receive serious con
