Johnson and Wells.
THE COMING PRIZE-FIGHT,
(Per Press Association.—Copyright.)
LONDON, Sept. 23
Lord Lonsdale objects to the ineCjUality between Johnson and W ells, and says that on that account the forthcomingi contest will not be a bona-fide one.
The fact that Johnson lis getting £6OOO and Wells £2(100 is, he adds, proof that inequality between the combatants is recognised as existing. Lord Stanhope, writing to the Times, reca'ls a conversation he had with a Suva policeman, the latter stating that he had more trouble in dealing with colored people since th? Burns-Johnson fiaht.
