Jack Johnson, who reached Adelaide from Western Australia on 7th February, was asked by a press .representative whether he was aware < that Burns was anxious to meet him again. “You can say from me,” he replied, “that Jack Johnson does not want to interfere with family affairs. Burns’s wife does not want him to fight again, and I don’t want to interfere-with family affairs at all.” “Are you likely to box him again?” was asked. “I can’t say,” answered Johnson, “but if I should it would only be under the same conditions as the last fight.” “Burns says you would have had no advantage over him had the rules of the fight provided for clean breaks and no in’fighting. What do you think of that?” “He would not have a chance in the world,” Johnson answered. “I did just what I told the people I would do. Burns was like a mere child in my hands, and you can say from me that I have forgotten more about boxing than Barns ever knew. ” Johnson stated that after fulfilling his music-hall engagements here he would go to London and the Continent to fulfil -engagements, and then return to the 'United States. In America ;he would probably meet Stanley ;Ketohell.
