STORIES OF SPORTS TOLD BY EXPERTS BURNS WILLING TO BET $10,000 THAT HE TRIMS JOHNSON ReRGE Senenertte > enunnnennre ‘Has Posted $5,000 to Be Wagered on' Outcome of Battle and Like Amount to Call Colored Man’s Boast of 12-Round Finish. MMY BURNS has posted two bank notes in Australia with the provision that they are to be wagered on his chance of defeat- ing Johnson. One sum of $5,000 is to be bet that he will win, and the other that Johnson will not stop him in twelve rounds. Johnson has been boasting that he will turn the trick in this time, and Tommy is calling his bluff. i. Giving details of his earlier fights to the Australian newspaper men, Burns says that eight rs ago he fought Fred Thornton in Detroit for a purse of $25. Since that time, not counting his earnings in the coming fight, he has picked up with his fists about $150,000. | Hugh D.
