Jack Johnson Offered a King’s
Ransom to Fight in Australia
By TV. AV. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18—It
is rather a curious coincidence
that within a comparatively
few hours of the death of Jack
Johnson's wife by her own hand a
special representative of Hugh D.
Mclntosh, of Australia, should’ar
rive In this country with a view
of inducing the world’s champion
to engage in pugilistic contests in
the land of the kangaroo
The gentleman in question is W
C J. Kelly, who acts ns the agent
• of A. G. Spalding & Bros in Aus
tralia. He has power to treat with
Johnson for matches with Sam
Langford and Sam McVea and he Is
under instructions to deal with so
many other pugilists In regard to
matelu- it the Antipodes that this
country is in danger of experienc
ing a tight famine if he is half way
successful.
$30,000 For Johnson.
Th' terms to li, laid before John
son are that he will receive thirty
thousand dollars for engaging in a
twenty-round bout with Sam Lang
ford. For boxing Sam McVea the
champion will be paid fifteen thou
sand dollars and a similar amount
for meeting Joe Jeannette, in ad
dition to all this. Johnson will b.
given five thousand dollars for
training expenses and three round
trip tickets to Australia.
"The reason Johnson is being of
fered more for the bout with Lang
ford is that Langford is regarded
as his most formidable rival," ex
plained Kelly. "Out in Australia
they are willing to admit that John
son 18 the greatest boxer that had
ever visited that country, and they
reek m Stun Langford the next best.
The question of superiority between
Langford and Mi Vea is considered

Kelly says that men of the light

gained in another, ‘for fellows like

Richie had that very same record
up to Saturday, when Charles

Joe Mandot Is Only Card Left
For Champion Wolgast to Fight
By Sol Plex.
CHICAGO. Sept. 18.—Ad Wol
gast and Tom Jones are in a
fine predicament. The cham
pion is aging a bit as a fighter,
and wants to make his money’ rap
idly’ now. And there is just one
boy who can weigh 133 pounds at
the ringside, the weight the cham
pion insists on, and draw the sort
of coin Ad wants to fight for. Joe
Mandot is the lightweight we mean,
and there are those out in Los An
geles who say that Mandot Is in
no great hurry to lock horns with
the champion. They figure it that
way because he asks a prohibitive
price.
Wolgast can get big money fight
ing Backey McFarland, Jack Brit
ton and Willie. Ritchie, but, sad to
relate, they are all three too big for
him, and probably too good if he
lets them in heavy, as the ring
birds say. McFarland and Wol
gast will draw a mint of money
anywhere, but they’ can’t agree on
the poundage. Britton and Ritchie
arc coming to the front with rapid
strides, and will be great cards
this winter. But Ad can’t risk a
clash with one of them after that
appendicitis operation, which un
questionably has slowed him up
some.
Mandot spoiled the real financial
plum for Wolgast when he laced
Joe Rivers, the Mexican marvel,
on Labor day. The Wolgast-Riv
ers fight had such a peculiar end
ing that half of Los Angeles be
lieves to this da.v that Rivers won,
and the other half believed, until
the Mandot fight, that Rivers would
have stopped Ad had they fought
again.
