friends OF Peter jackson think his match with
Ed Smith an Ill advisod ono. Said one OF them
to-day: 1T Is to be presumed that no expects
to best Smith easily. but even II he does there
lie no reputation for him In tho performance,
for, until now, Ed has never been pitted against
n really ilrst-class man. and the money ho
will make will hardly pay for the risks
he takes, for Parson Davies will take
half Of the profits. smith, ftom reports, Is q
big strong fellow, who will 20 into the ring
Weighing 1876 pounds. lie is hurricane
fighter, and Muldoon will be shrewd enough to
point out to him that Jacksons record shows
that he is not a fast fighter. and that no has
never knocked man out In less than a dozen
rounds. Ho will say to him, Go right at this
fellow and muddlo him as often and
rs hard rs possible. II you can hold
him anything like even for the nye
rounds it will be tremendous thing
for you, and should you make a stand of with
him it will DO as big thing for you rs

will do his best TO circumvent Smith. but II tho
cx-Denvorite is as good as Bob Masterson says

That Is ono bad Wow of the case. but there
Ia a worse. Suppose jackson, in beating Smith
off, should break an injure his hands
severely, IA Jimmy Carroll of Brooklyn did
when he defeated Billy Smith. In either event
he would risk his chances with John l.. Suli-
van. But there is still darker view vet. Sup
pose Smith should BIO good fighter AS Mas
terson says he is. and. stimulated by the pro9-
poet In view should best Peter In tho co. In
that event would not the California Club de-
mand that he fight Smith to a finish and clear
