Woodman. For Ketchel we will make
15S pounds at 3 o'clock, or will make
that weight in the ring. If Sam were
to meet Johnson he would probably
enter the ring under ITO, while johnson
would no doubt weigh 203, as he did In
the fight with Burns in Australia"

tention to 1t, for just at that moment
both Ketchel and Johnon were In need
of advertising. Both were being sadly
overshadowed by the presence OF Jim
Jeffries in New York. When Jeff left
the center of the New York stage to
take, the center of the Boston, stage
the bet and match we're forgotten.
AS to Jack Johnson, the largest purse
that ever came his way was $4,000 for
his end In the contest with Tommy
Burns at Sydney. Before that time
johnson had thought that $1,000 was
fortune. There is now little doubt
that the national club or the Fair
mount club of this city, or the Mara
thon club of Brooklyn would pay him
$4,000. to get into the ring for ten
rounds with Langford.
{ A ten-round bout with Langford on
one end and either Ketchel or Johnson
on the other, would draw more money
than any other possible match in which
Jim Jeffries didn't figure.
