And that's about as much as anyone
knows OF the man who, according to
cable, is to meet Jack Johnson In

II Is true Curran Is known to have

Irish and Scotch heavyweights, but
where he gets a license to meet the
black panther for the worlds title Is
more than anyone In this country can
understand.
II was supposed when Tom Flana-
gan went over with Johnson that the
smiling Canadian would frame up
scrap between Johnson and Bob Day,
the Canadian ex-amateur. In fact Day

for the call from Erin.
