been. mixed considerably. Lii Arthur
has stated that he wants to see the
money up before he starts. which IS
right, but Jack has been the one to
delay the posting of the money Mr..
tically $4,000 to Johnson for the two
bouts and the champion signed articles
for the same at Las Vegas
1T was stipulated in the articles that
Mr.. Mcintosh was to deposit at least
$4,000 with any Chicago bank that
Johnson might name al a guarantee
that he would go through with the
contract, and this Mr. Mcintosh was
ready to do, when Jack insisted upon
having the $4,000 and also $4,000 ex-
penses posted with Al Tearney, the
of Chicago After spending another
800 in cablegrams, Mr.. Mcintosh
agreed TO post the $500 but insisted
that the money be placed with any
bank Mr.. Tearney might name, as he
considered that it was only fair to
both, and he also offered to let Mr..
Tearney draw up the contract to place
with the money in the bank-that is,
rhe contract or agreement which the
bank would be expected to follow. Mr..
Mcintosh also cabled as follows to Mr.
Johnson: 1T is unreasonable to ex-
pect me to deposit so large an amount
with a stranger. / am quite willing
to deposit the $4,000 guarantee and
also send $4,000 expenses. Mr.. Tearney
can name the bank. All ask is fair
treatment
From the above it will be seen that
Mr. Mcintosh has been most fair
throughout the negotiations and has
been willing to take a big chance with
no guarantee to him that the others
will carry out their part of the agree
ment. All the guaranteeing is being
done by the Australian From the
trend of affairs since Jack Johnson
decided to come back" again it is
evident that the cOlored champion in
tends to take on several matches in
the near future, as long as the big
money holds out, but after that it will
be to the Cafe de Champion for Ar
thur. If Jack is really in earnest
about taking on the .wo Sans in Aus
tralia he will no doubt make the trip.
