Tommy Burns Arrives in Reno.
The ends Of the world began for the
first time TO get In touch at Reno this
morning, when the delegation from the
Antipodes. headed BY Tommy Burns. the
former champion, came down over the
mountains from San Francisco. Antici-

the ex-champions who were handy TO

Corbett. who writes sporting things for
the Australian papers, and Bill Lang. a
heavyweight from the South Seas, whom
his manager, Mr.. Mcintosh, would like "a

After the delegation from Australia
had moved by easy stages to the cOrri-

negro as against a white man, you know;
but really this Johnson fellow IS a very
very clever chap, and no big bull-like
person such as Jeffrfes can ever hammer
him down. You people over here say
that the colored person has, what do you
call, ahi yellow streak But 1 can't for
the life Of me understand why a black
man is not just as game fellow as a
white man. l have backed the black
man for a hundred quid with my friend
Tommy Burns here. and really I viii
hate awfuIly TO take the money. I think
the whole bloody mill viii be over ir

that any fellow can stay out of the
game for five or six years, you know
and be the same sort OF chap in hit.
