TEMPTED BY
SEATTLE'S 100000 OFFER

gate returns of the Burns-Johnson battle
In Australia showed there would be al
least some small margin of profit even
| with an offer of S150.O00. and 1t was ar
gued that with the tremendous advertis'
ing such a meeting would necessarily have.
coupled with the attraction of the exposi-
ton. there would be no deficit at even
the extraordinary figure of 100000.
What might be the disposition of the
purse as to the relative shares of the win

ers themselves. though it probably would
be either 70 per cent, and 30 per cent. or
50 and &C. In the former event 1T would
mean $40, eco to one and $4,000 to the
other. and in the latter Sl20,000 to the win
ner and $4,000 TO the loser.
In any event. exclusive OF royalties from
moving pictures. the losers end would ex-

Sharkey mill, S2l.OW
Johnson got only $4,000 for his fight
with Burns. and, so far as reasonably re-
liable records go, his next biggest receipt
was 5000 for his go with Squires. Both
men could fOrego many of their theatrical
engagements for the princely prize offered
with the perfect knowledge that success

SEATTLE. Wash. Feb. 1.-THE offer
of a guaranteed purse of 100000 for a
worlds championship battle in this city
