These prices will include war taxes Turns Down Speculators “My chief trouble will he with the speculators, but I will do my best to balk them. I already have had an offer of $100,000 for a specified num- ber of reserved seats, but of course I declined the proposition. T shall put the tickets in the hands of responsible persons in the big cities, with in- structions to keep them out of the hands of speculators and sell only to boma fide patrons of the bout.” Rickara will leave tonight for Toledo, where he goes to arrange for| the purchase of lumber for the arvena | and to complete other details of the affair. The promoter will keep mov- ing between this city and Toledo up to the time of the contest. Fe has notified the boxers to report at the scene of the contest on May 20, and to begin active training for »lhe bout.
