JOHNSON HAS 2O-WEEKS'
ENGAGEMENT WITH SHOW
Black Champion viii Not Hurry to
Fight. Despite His Protests
of Combativeness.

NEW YORK, April with chal-
longes being hurled back and forth
aid no decisive action taken, the
heavyweight pugilistic situation is still
lin the air." The sporting public is
clamoring for the big fellows to get
into action. but outside OF two match
es made with second class fighters
the leading heavyweights have not
been brought nearer together.
Today Big AL" Kaufman seems to
he the logical candidate TO meet John
SON. He is as big and as heavy as
the Negro champion and IL is believed
the public would rather see two men
evenly matched get together than 10
have one of the contestants over
weight and tower above his opponen.
as would Johnson should he meet
Kctchel, despite the fact that the lat
ter has many admirers who believe
he ooull beat the Negro.
Kaufman will be seen in action
against Tony Ross. the New Castle
fighter, on April 10. Ketchel nights
Sailor Burke on April 20. Johnson
will not be seen In action for at least
six months. The Negro champion IS
now ieaping the benefits of his victory

The pictures plainly show that tho
police acted very hastily In stopping
the fight. and that while Johnson APP

contest, Burns was still able 10 stand
a lot more punishment before being
counted out.
These films will undoubtedly be OF

cut It to 1925 apiece.
1--WE cannot get the kind OF horses
we need for less than $500, however.
and that means that we must purchase
fewer horses than we had intended"
feed and bedding are also much
higher in price than few years ago
and the garbage division has hard
