Only a little more than Itaroo days to wait, and tho world's heavywight championship, tbo blue ribbon of pugilism, will again be decided. Any ottaor little tnilta to bo pulled off this week aro oclipsed as topics of conversation iu sporting cir cles bv the bout in far away Sydney, Australia, which will settle the long mooted question of supremacy betwei Tommy Burns mid .luck Johnson. Al though the battlefield is more than H, 000 miles from Broadway, the interest is just s intonso us if it was to be staged at some nearer polut. Is it a fake?1 ia the question which all the fight fans aro asking each other tu.t;i ; and the answer id not yet agreed' upon. There are many sport who be lieve that a Barns victory will be proof positive of a "fixed' Affair sine they hold that with Johnson in good condition and fighting for all that is in him, Burns has no chance whatover to retain the title. Granted that the match is on tho square,-: it oortaittly looks as if the next world's champion will We a black man. Among the few who believe that the mill is on the level Jack Twin Sullivan. Twenty-Four Foot Bin. . , The news that Burns and Johnson will fight In a 84-foot ring haa caused considerable comment on Broadway. Burns is practically in charge of the arrangements for the mill, and has everything his own way, hence the con clusion that he is responsible for the 114-foot ring plan. Tommy has boen brag ging that ho will chaso Johnson all about the ring, and It is evident that he wnnta nil the room possible for the Marathon. If Tommy was so certain that ho would be tho aggressor, it seems likely that he would havo wanted o rirg as small as possible, and this leads to some iete-i-'ting conclusions unnec essary to set forth. The sir.o of the ring may prove useful, in case Johnson should divide to do some of the chas ing, and Tommy should consider discre tion the better part of valor. Canadian Tommy, as a rule, does tit tle footwork when in tho rinfr at least, he hasn't when fighting the inferior scrappers that he has been going up against during the lust year. Tt is pos sible that he realizes that Johnson is an entirely different sort of proposition. Johnson is macho like Joe Gans in his style of fighting. While he shifts from aide to side he needs very little room, and coold do his best fighting in a ring half as big as the ene erected far the coming bout. In recent yearn 84 foot rings have been decidedly out of fashion, and very few important boots have been fought in rings of such size. Twenty feot Is the average of the modern ring, and many clubs use 18 foot enclosures for the fighters. Still, it must be admitted that the larger the ring the better the chance of getting away from an aggressive opponent. And Tommy Burns always was a canny lad, with both eyes peeled for the main chance. He Isn't going to let that titlo Blip away from him for lack of precautions.
