OMMY 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 h in twelve rounds. Johnson has been boasting that he is calling his bluff. Giving details of his earlier fights to the Australian newspaper men, Burns says that eight years ago he fought Fred Thornton in Detroit for a purse of $25.

He has heavy shoes and the rocky roads to struggle over, while indoors he has a smooth track that becomes a beaten path after a few miles, Then his opponent is with him all the time, and either one is setting the pace.
