JOHNSON-WELLS FIGHT.
MAY TAKE PLACE IN PARIS
London, September 26
Johnson and Wells have have signed to box under National Sporting Club rules, in order to prove that the issue at stake is the right to box. • Wells, interviewed, said that if the match were stopped it would be transferred to Paris.
White, the promoter, said that if the legality were upheld, the contest would proceed; if illegal, that would finish it as far as England was concerned.
The “Sporting Life” says that even if the promoter was bound over and the match proceeded, no subsequent legal action could be taken, unless an illegality causing a breach of tho peace occurred.
