to work at top speed.
Johnson will train at the Seal Rock
house. He has engaged his quarters and
will begin work late next month. The
negro also prepared for the Stanley
Ketchel fight at the Seal Rock camp.
Arrangements for the transporting
of fight enthusiasts to the scene of the
other details have already been provid-
ed for. Within month the sale of cou-
pons for the fight will be opened in the
principal cities of the country. Ut is the
plan of the promoters to sell these cou-
pons in advance at prices ranging from
$40 to 500, the same to be exchanged
at the various entrances OF the arena
on the day of the fight for regular seat
reservations. 1t is hoped in this way
that the possibility of tickets falling
into the hands of spectators will be
reduced to a minimum and that every
ton of the country he halls, will have
an equal chance.
That large portion of the spectators
are expected to be residents of other
sections of the country aside from
San Francisco and it's vicinity, is
shown by the arrangement which the
promoters are making to handle an i'm
Fmense transcontinental pilgrimage
both before and after the battle. 1t is
understood that Richard and Gleason
will have a controlling interest in these
tours, although the actual details are
the tourist agency of this name. These
special trops VIII be conducted on
varied plan. One of the most original
schemes in connection with the tours is
an installment payment whereby it is
possible for the fight fan to pay so
much a week until such time as he has
on deposit the amount necessary to in
sure his being at the ringside when the
big men square off. The other extreme
is reached in a train de luxe which
will be confined to party of so, with
only the sky as the limit.
The minimum figure for the trip has
been placed in the neighborhood of $3.50
which will include admission to the
section of the stand allotted TO SIe
seats. No maximum figure has been an
