the adulation of scores of dusky
skinned admirers, who havo flockeJ
horo from the American side. John
son, In striking raiment, and accom
panied by his handsome whlto wlf
attracts more attention on tho streets
than an Indian potcnatc. Johnson
will make his first nppcaranco in tho
ring prior to beginning his theatrlc.nl
ongagomont In England tonight,
when ho will box Donvor Ed. Martin
six rounds before tho Vancouver
Athletic Club. In order to make tho
performance n bonoflt for tho club,
Johnson has made a great hit with
tho Canadians horo, who declare tho
negro fighter has shown, rare spor'.n
mannhlp. "Hotter look out for yourself.

cussing tonight's bout with "Denver

that I havo gotten rid of my sea logs,
and I fcol just like eating up some

"Donvor Ed" smiled doubtfully,
but snld that tho champion would
have to "stop livoly."
"This tnlk of Jcffrlon wanting to

regulation size. In caso we fight fo'
tho chnmplonshlp, does not xenro mq
a bit," snld Johnson today.
"You would consent to fight in n
smallor ring thon?"
"I will fight him In n 10, 12 or
even a 10-foot ring, if ho wants to
havo It that way," answered tho
ponderous African. "Tho Jimallar
tho ring tho hotter it will milt mo.
I will have to do less chasing after
him thou, and can flnlh him off
quicker."
Such Is the colored champion'
confidence In hlumolf that ho firmly
bollevfts a light between himself nud
Joffrlmi will not last many round If
thoy ovor moot.
When It counts right down to oloso
questioning, howovor, Johnson says
ho bollovos that Jeffrie will nover
