ACk JOHNSON, champion heavy

from Paris.
My next fight will be In this coun-
try" the champion said, In talking of
the report II am my own anage
and II any one has me tangled up in a
fight over there I am not to blame.
When h time comes for me to sign

ing to a battle, Jack John on VII m Ike
all arrangements, and l VIII continue
to do this until I appoint someone to
act as my manager"

sicians assured him his broken arm
was strong enough.
I'm regard to my demands, they will
stay just where they are said VOL

meet me under these circumstances my
manager will meet him and close a bout

months, this battle to go the route and

Young Ahearn, a pocket edition of
Jack O'Brien, handed out an artistic
trimming to Charley Griffin at the
Brooklyn Beach A. C. last night.
The mill went the ten rounds, as per
schedule, but at no stage was there
anything to 1t but Ahearn. He proved
himself one of the ~cleverest light
weights tina ever climbed into a ring,
and what's more he displayed a dandy
right-hand punch, a short hook. VIII en-
carries a kick with only a six-inch
jerk.
Young Critic, the shiftiest of 'em all
in his day, who, by the way, vas
Griff1n's chief second, said after the
fight hat Ahearn was the cleverest lad
he ever watched perform. And hat is
some boost for the young Brooklynite.
Johnny Dohan put up a game scrap
with Charley Lawrence at Browns
Gymnasium last night, and managed
to earn a draw at the end of ten ourds
although he was o~utweighed by six or
eight pounds. Dohan carried the fight
to Lawrence from start to finish, but
the weight and superior reach of the
latter was too great a handicap for the
smaller man.
Jack (''Twin'') sullivan and Frank
Mantell are to battle in a ten-round
bout at the National Sporting Club to-
night. Both men are in good condition,
and as they have already fought two
twenty-round bouts in California, Man
tell winning the first. while the sec
ond ended in a draw. the chances are
that they will fight hard every second
of the contest.
Abe Attell, the featherweight cham
pion, and Joe Coscer, the promising
boxer of Brooklyn, nave been matched
to meet in a ten-round bout at the
stag Of the Vanderbilt A. C. formerly
