JACK JOHNSON
AND LAWSON TO
MEET MAY 80

Ell PASO, Texas, May 25.--on the
possible verge Of the greatest come
back in pugilistic history. Jack John
son has trained down to his best
fighting weight preparatory to his is
round fight with BoE Lawson in the
Jualez Coliseum on May 80
The heavywcight champion t:p.
ped the beam ut 22O pounds when
he opened his I'll E'aso camp-a mark
within three pounds of the weight
mace in the fight with Jeffries. He
expects to enter the ring at ?l5
pounds, which is 80 pounds under his
fighting weight when he lost the
championship to Jess willard
Johnson started his comeback by
whipping Fat Lester in Nogales. He
will go one step further if he beats
Lawson as the alabama BearcStt is
rated several notches about the Ari-
zona heavyweight Lawson is the
legitimate negro light heavyweight
champion of the world, winning -his
title when he Knocked out Kid Nor
folk in the second round He is a
shifty. two-fist fighter with a
reputation for stopping his opponents
in short order.
JoLn nson, however, figures that the
Lawson fight is already as goo1 as
lin" and a syndicate of Ell Paso and
Juarez sportsmen has already been
formed to match him with Harry
Wills in the event that he dlsposes
Of the Arizona Bearcat. To- show
good faith in the Wills offer, the
promoters have posted 100000
check with the American Trust Il
Savings bank, of Ell Paso. Wills will
probably want half of that amount
before he agrees to sign while John
son has already agreed to fight the
Black Panther at any figure named
by the promoters.
Il can eliminate Wills as a cham
rionship contender and I'm not going
to let financial considerations hold
ur the match" Johnson sal dthe
other day "All I want is a chance
at Harry"
In the event that Wills is signed,
the Juarez coliseum will probably be
enlarged to twice its present size.
1t now holds 10000 people.
