PAPERS SPOILED FIGHT.

Rivalry between opposing sporting
papers in London is said to have had
more to do than anything else with
the calling off of the Johnson-Wells
match
One of these papers, while it didn't
promote the match, stole a march on
its rival by having the articles signed
up within its sanctum. The other
sheet started hammering, and, with
a decidedly weak bout, had a splendid
opportunity
Opponents of boxing were enlisted
and finally the authorities put stop
to the bout. 1t was whispered around
that the fear of what might happen
if Johnson whipped white man was
responsible for the action; but back
in the beginning was the bitter strife
between the two newspapers that are
entirely devoted to sporting news.
