PRICES TO COME DOWN.

NEW YORK. Aug. 12 -, Eastern light promoters plan sort of fistic union to jab in the jaw the high cost of boxers. Billy Gibson is scheduled for president and general manager and the head of the Ath- letic club has this to say about the aHarice of the near-champions:
 These fellows either run their de mands up into the tens of thousands because they want an excuse for avoiding matches, or they have not brains enough to realize that no ten round no decision contest can be worth the price they want. They don't stop to think that few years ago, when the boxing game was run ming at it's best here. with 20-rouni bouts and decisions in every bout men fully as classy as they boxed their 20rounds for purses of $2.50J or less"
 Gibson means what he says, and the rest of the Eastern promoters are hanging on to the same rope If Ad WOlgast is to fight here. no will have to be satisfied with a gift of much less than s22,50O As for Johnson and his 80 0,OOO. three men who stage bouts in New York ra- gard the big black fellows talk. and the champion himself, as just huge joke
