interest would be at low tide instead
of approaching enthusiasm, as now is
the case.
The semi-windup, which will be the
Marty-Gene McGoveTn scrap for side
bets amounting to $1,000, also is eXcit-
ing no little interest, if Wagers upon
the result are to be considered as any
criterion. The fact that these boys
have put up their $500 apiece in real
cash causes the fans to wonder what
sort of fighters they are. AS a conse-
uuence the Maud Junction pavilion,
where McGovern works every after
noon. and the Eastside club, where
Kane is training, are crowded every
afternoon. Betting is at even money
and both boys are being literally sup
ported by the fans They will make
122 pounds at 8 o'clock next Tuesday
afternoon.
The card that has been arranged for
this night is unusually strong, both
from the viewpoint of class and as con-
sidered in the light of popularity of
the fighters. Every number on the bill
brings out boys of proved ability, and
there should not be a moment without
plenty of action and excitement. Prac-
tically two match bouts are on the bill
as Marty Kane and Gene Nc
Govern are fighting for a big side bet
and Paul Roman and Andy Rivers
have asked for the longer route in
order to test their abilities in an in
dividual supremacy contest.

Saturday Manager Tom Jones took
along Bad Bill Aldridge as assistant

appear in a preliminary to the big
fight Will act as sparring partner for
Ad. The latter will go into the ring
at a fraction less than 13S pounds, but
not less than 1872 pounds, as Manager
Jones puts it. The entire Wolgast
party is filed to overhowing with con-
fidence and defeat, if it comes, will
be a terrible disappointment to them.
Lew Powell left on the Owl last
night and should arrive this morning.
He has engaged training quarters at
Jack Doylas Southside club and will
lose no time in getting down to hard
work Mensic is preparing for a long
siege of work. despite that he is in
excellent condition now, and will try TO

glory of being the greatest gladiator
of the age are to be won, but the
S150,000 that is waiting for him for his
ten-months cruise around the world
depends upon a victory for the Cau-
casian race. According to the terms
of the contract that has just been en-
tered into between jeff and the syn
dicate that wants first call on his SER
vices, he will begin work July s, four
days after the fight, and wind up
somewhere in Bombay or Jungletown
about next May, one year hence. With

fight purse, $150,000 for his stage con-
tracts that are about completed now
his interest in the fight pictures and
then the S15O,O00 that he will get for
the long tour of the world, jeff figures
to pick up close to half million dol
lars if he whips Johnson. To lose, he
will have to sacrifice fully one-han OF
this amount. With these facts lndls-
putable. the average fan would like to
have grouchy old John L. explain how
Jeff can afford to enter into frameup,
such as he positively asserts has been
arranged. The world that knows Jeff
also knows that he would give every
thing he has or ever expects to have,
even his life, rather than let johnson
whip him. Sullivan has lost lot of
friends by his unjustifiable and silly
utterances. His show may be dtmmed
in luster and losing in popularity since
Jeff went on the road, but that is no
excuse for the ridiculous stories he
has stood sponsor for in the last lew
