Curley Offers Jack
Johnson $20,000
to Fight Flynn
SALT LAKH CITY, Utah. Dee.
Jack Curley of Chicago, munager of Jim
t'lynn, the J'ueblo, heavyweight, an
nounced .loduy that he would guarantee
Jack Johnson 10,000 for bin share of the
puree win, lose or draw-for a finish
battle with Uiynn for tho heavywelgh.
championship of the world.
Curley deolared he would select Nevada
as the battle ground, as he insisted tha
the fight be a finish, and he did not think
It ton lil ba staged onewhne.
Local sporting men declare that the
proposal to Meg another battle In lleno
would hi lug out the inhabitants of .that
town with riot guns.
Curley expects to Uuve for Chicago to
confer with Johnson, afiei t.ie Flynn
Capont bout, scheduled here for tomorrow
night.
CHICAGO. Dec. "U.-Jaok Johnson to
day declined to 'Say positively whether
ho would accept the offer to meet Jim
i-'lynn.
"It Is doubtful IC I do." he deolared.
"Tom O' Hour He of New York has offered
Ijiio a 2i,tW puree, my opponent to be
picked later, and I am considering an
Australian trip, which will net me even
more than that."
1 KRNO, Nev., Dee. 2.-From a letal
standpoint there Is nothing to prevent the
stalling f the proposed Flynn-Johnson
battle on Nevada 0I1. The law enacted
In isi for tho benefit of the promotera of
the CorbeU-Fltasiminons bout Is still In
force.
Tha announcement from Kelt Lake City
will be received with mixed feeling by
Nevada people. Many believe that so
topf aa the law permitting finished fights
re In force t Interference should not be
tolerated. On the other hand, there are
many who are of the opinion .that public,
decency would be violated should the
fight be allowed, and there Is no- doubt
but what there would be a strong demon,
stratum of disapproval' In 'case the
Promoters endeavored to bring the men
together In Nevada.
Later Johnson waa positive In assert
tng that be would not fight Flynn for
leas than a 10.000 purse.
"I am witling to meet Flsnn anywhere
In the world," be said, "but the purr
must be e'10.000. The O' Hours offer la
for ten rounds and that louka pretty good,
to aay nothing of tho Australian proposi
tion." G0TCH BEGINS TRAINING
