fight to go 45 rounds. many have be-

happen if the battle goes the full

the fighters.
Jeffries, it has been asserted within
the past few days with more con-
fdence than at any time since he de-
clared he had come back can go

claim is made for Johnson. But what
if they go 45 rounds without either
having a sufficient shade upon which
to base a verdict? Will Jeffries
( stand for a draw with all the clamor

On behalf of Johnson. Tom Flan-
agan, his manager, declares unequiv-
ocally that If the fight goes the pre-

ing able to call a winner. Johnson
will be perfectly willing to go as far
as necessary to arrive at a decision
even if a knockout is demanded
I'VE don't anticipate that the fight
will go the limit" said Flanagan
because we feel confident that Jack
will win long before the 45th round
is reached For this reason we never
figured on the contingency of going
farther than the limit called for by
the article of agreement. But, if al

is unable to pick the winner, then we

was to be "for men only. II was re-
ported that there were to be some dances
of the "Salomc" kind. In consequence
the affair was the talk OF Connell street.
That the dinner was just ordinary and
devoid of any sensations was probably
due to tho part the police took in the
matter. Sometime during Thursday ar

word over the telephone from an attor-
ner in the city. who informed him that
he was told there was TO be something

hall players and friends on the inside were
going to give that evening. Just where
the affair was to be held, however, he
had not heard. and the police had some
trouble TO locate the place designated In
the invitations which were extended for
the affair.
Dariy in the evening a beer wagon
drove up to the Music Hall and unloaded
six kegs Of Joy water Later the good
things provided by a local caterer ar
