MAN WHO MATCHED JOHNSON AND BURNS HITS OLD BROADWAY

Dnsky Champion Lost Many Friends in

Special from United Press.l

Especial from United Press.l
 New York, March 12.-Hugh McIn- tosh. promoter of the Johnson-Burns fight in Sydney, Australia, is in town today trying to arrange a match be tween Johnson and Jeffries for the Antipodes. He arrived on the Mature tania and is said to be ready to out bid all others for this stellar pugilistic card. The fight interest throughout Australia, is at fever heat, Mcintosh says, and a bout between Jeffries and Johnson would draw a record breaking crowd at record breaking prices.
 Mcintosh says that just after John son had defeated Burns, he asked the new dusl1y champion if he would fight JeffrieS.
 ''Yes," Johnson told Mcintosh, ''but you won't be able to get Jeffries to fight me. You won't be able to drag him into a ring with me. If you do, I'll beat him in 12 rounds. He would be easier than Burns.''
 Mcintosh says Johnson is not at all popular in Australia, where his per sonad habits, the promoter says, alien ated most of the friends that he won by his clean-cut victory over Burns.
