JOHNSON-WELLS FIGHT.
London, September 21
Mr White, the promoter of the Johusou-Wells fight, proposes that the Rev. F. B. Meyer should nominate six and the “Sportsman ” newspaper another six persons, and if these decide that cinematograph pictures of the fight are degrading the negatives be destroyed. A condition is that Mr Meyer shall open a fund to repay the five thousand pounds paid by the photographers. Mr White suggests that three men control the fight, in order to avoid offensive elements.
Mr Meyer declares that it is his intention to persist in his opposition, owing to racial considerations.
