E..J0hns0n and
B0rrieau Uiu
Fight in Ely

Tom Chambers who has shown sig
nal ability as a promoter of fistic en-
counters, has succeeded in bringing
together Eddie johnson of Pueblo.
Colorado, and Frank Barrieau. the
Canadian champion, two of the best
welterweights that ever stepped
through the ropes.
The men will meet in ten-round
go to take place here on February
5th. The articles of agreemtnt will
be signed within the next few days
when both men will meet in Ely.
Outside of general matters govern
ing such matches, through kilograms
between all the parties it has been
agreed that the boys shall make 147
pounds at II O'Clock on the day of
the fight. I
Honest Bill Langdon" will doubt
less referee the match as he is now
in the district, and his nation wide
reputation for ability, honesty and
square dealing in the sporting world
is SO well known, that when 1t is
possible to secure the services of Pro-
fessor Langdon further discussion is
unnecessary.
Tom Chambers has wired four
first class tickets to each of the prin-
cipals to permit them to bring their
managers and handlers here, and
both boys will work out all over the
district in order to give the sports
an opportunity to size up the men and
pick their choice before the battle.
AS to Johnson, nothing need be
said, since his magnificent perform
ance here in December when he de-
feated Johnnie Dunn, sending that
, clever and sturdy boy down for the
count of ten in the ninth round. be-
fore the largest audience that ever
witnessed an exhibition of the game
here. Johnson is one of the pref
tiest pieces of fighting machinery
that ever pulled on a glove. He
fights from gong to gong like forty
cars of pig iron running away on a
down grade with a Kansas cyclone
behind it to help it along. He has
q punch like pile driver and knows
the game from every angle, never
overlooking any opportunity that may
be presented to end the fight, and his
defense is marvellous.
As to Barrieu's record. that like
wise is too well known to require any
comment. While he is known as the
Canadian champion because of the
fact that since his appearance in the
ring about five years ago he has ap-
peared most frequently in Canada,
nevertheless, he halls from Seattle
and has recently appeared in Idaho,
where his success has been just as
pronounced as it was in Canada. Per-
haps his memorable battle with Leach
Cross will be considered sufficient
warrant for the statement that he
will give Johnson the battle of his
life. Barrieau is well within the
weight, while in range he has some
what the advantage. He is regarded
as one of the fastest, cleanest and
hardest fighters at his weight now
before the public.
1t is seldom that such a match is
ever witnessed in any city in the
world and the sports of the district
are indeed fortunate in having such
an exhibition arranged for their en-
tertainment.
Tom Chambers is going to an ex-
pense of approximately one thousand
dollars to stage the event and II
seems certain that no follower of
the game will miss this golde oppor-
tunity
