sporting circles today. 1t is openly
charged by men "in the know" that
the preliminary negotiations between
Johnson's and Wells representatives
have taken on many suspicious as
poets.
Johnson, sporting circles hear, is
willing to LAY down to the English
man because he is sore on the way
he has been treated by the American
sporting men. He also realizes that
he is getting along in years and
wants to clean up as much money as
possible in a lump. incidentally the
promoters of the fight expect tc take
in million dollars at the gate by
holding the fight at giant stadium
which will seat 100000 people.
The fight is to be pulled off by a
syndicate supposedly headed by
James White of Manchester, we'll
known promoter. The identity OF
the members of the syndicate has
been carefully guarded, but it is
learned on authority today that the
real hackers are Terriah Hooley
world famous promoter who is now
in bankruptcy because of the failure
of some of his biggest schemes. Bot
tomley is also in financial difficulties

him amounting to s475,000. Holey

Mr.. Hawk, whom it is said all the

Burlington and with the exception OF
one inning he. befoozled the Keokuk
aggregation to finish. The star in
the poke events was Watson of Burl-
ington, who garnered two home runs
scoring five men thereon. Lamb also
got home run, the ball hitting inside
the enclosure and bouncing out into
the cruel world, which was lucky for
Lamb. Before forgetting it, it should
be duly announced that Burlington
won, to 3.
