Jack Johnson Offered a King’s
Ransom to Fight in Australia
By W. W. Naughton.
S\ N KUAX< 'lS< ’( i, 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
jqiecia! 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 as 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
matches at the Antipodes that this
country is in danger of experienc
ing a tight famine if he is h ilf way
successful.
$30,000 For Johnson.
The terms to lie laid before John
son are that be will receive thirty
thousand dollars for engaging in a
twenty-round bout with Sam Lang
ford. For boxing Sam McVea the
chnmpion will be paid fifteen thou
sand dollars and a similar amount
for meetliig Joe Jeannette. In ad
dition to al! this. Johnson will be
given five thousand dollars for
training expenses and three round
trip tickets to \ustralin.
"The reason Johnson is being ol
fered more for the bout with Lang
ford is that Langford is regarded
a his most formidable rival," ex
plained Kelly. "Out in Australia
the.' are willing to admit that John
son is the greatest boxer that had
ever visited that country, and they

Kelly To See Many Fighters,
Other boxers who will be ap
proached by Kelly in Mclntosh's be
half are Joe Jeannette. Jim Flynn,
Frank Klaus, Eddie McGoorty, Al
Palzer. Abe Attell. Ad Wolgast.
Backey McFarland. Harlem Tommy
Murph? Joe Mandot. Willie Ritchie
and Johnny Kllbane.
It can readily be seen that with
this bunch expatriated, the promot
ers of the various boxing centers
in the United States would have to
make overtures to Bob Fitzsim

Battling Nelson and a few others
or else go out of business.
Kelly says that men of the light
weight division do not have to hold
themselves down to 133 pounds in
Australia, a.s the weight limit of
the class named in that country is
140 pounds This is somewhat of
an intimation that Hughle Mohe
gan, the lightweight champion of
Australia, is heavier than the Amer
ican scale would permit. But
what is lost in one direction is
gained in another, for fellows like
Backey McFarland would be able
to till tin Australian requirements,
with pounds to spare.
It is learned from Mclntosh’s
envoy that the Australian promot
er is also working on a Tommy
Burns-Sam Langford match. If
the proper arrangements are made,
Burns and Langford will meet in
the Rushcutter's Bay Stadium,
Sydney, on December 26, which is

HERE’S “HOPE DESTROYER”
WHO REALLY LOOKS GOOD
CHICAGO. Sept. - 18. —Another "white
hope destroyer” looms up on the pugilistic
horizon He is Art Nelson, of Wyeville,
Wis . a woodchopper in that section of tlie
country. In stature he is almost a giant,
standing 5 feet and 1.1 inches in his stock

but weighs only 190 pounds Charles La

but 22 years of age. when Lavine took
Jumbo Wells up to Bangor. Wis.. as Art's
opponent. Wells looked like a pretty good
hope at that time and was in grand con
dition when the pair sparred off in the
opening round. Almost from the tap of
tlie gong it could be seen that Nelson
was some hope, and after hammering
M ells almost out of shape he crossed a
right over in the sixth round that spelled
knockout.
He was matched to go against John
Wille, but Hie sheriff halted the go. Nel
son lias had some ten tights in the Wis
consin towns, Frank Ryan and Jack Par

sting of his nunches. He put Ryan away
in six roufids and beat him so badly that

Kline Nelson is all tnuscld and bone, but,
unlike many of the hopes, his muscle is
useful in that be is not muscle-bound.
And he knows how to use his mitts both
in giving the wallop and warding it off.
He lias a god foqt action and for a big
fellow steps around rather lively He is a
straight puncher and doesn't waste many.
Lavine is anxious to get Ned Carpenter,
tlie Burlington hope, in the ring and will
secure a club for the pair if Corpenter
will consent to a match. A few more
tights and Lavine will send him against
men of Palzer's eloss. It is his manager's
intention to bring him here and gel some

foe Mandot Is Only Card Left
For Champion Wolgast to Fight
By Sol Plex.
Chicago, sept, is.—Ad woi
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 Packey 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
are 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 da)'. The Wolgast-Riv
ers fight had such a peculiar end
ing that half of Los Angeles be
lieves to this day that Rivers won,
and the other half believed, until
the Mandot light, that Rivers would
have stopped Ad had they fought
again.
