JEFfRIES AND GARDNER
THEY MAY FIGHT IF LATTER DE-
FEATs BOB FITZSIMMONS.
Champion Will Not Consider Any
Challenges This SeasOh-He Will
Never Meet n Negro.

Champion James ]. Jeffries is deeply in
terested in the coming battle between Fitz-
simmons and Gardner, to be fought next
Wednesday in San Francisco. Gardner has
said that if he defeats Fitzsimmons he will
Immediately issue a challenge to Jeffries.
The champion will meet him, says New
York special.
The big fighting machine has been very
quiet for the past few weeks. He has been
resting himself and enjoying himself and
has thought as little of the roped arena as
possible. But with the coming bout on
Wednesday the champion could not help
just having little SAY" on the matter.
1T would be better for me to talk after
Thursday night" said JEFF. Il would know
then more of the subject on which 1 am
talking. L have heard that Gardner is anx-
ious to meet me. Well, If he is good
enough let him come along; I'm still in the
game. However, he still has a proposition
before him that will keep him busy for
bit Wednesday night. After he has been
'walloped' by Fitz he may not care for any
that L may be able to give him.
Il have not seen Fitz for some time, but
l think he can trim Gardner. l have to
judge by the reports in the newspapers how
good he is; ;, If the old man is really good
Gardner will have all he can do. l do not
think Gardner will win / would not VEN
ture on the number of rounds the fight will
co. that will depend upon Fitz's condition"
Ii any challenges come his way the cham
pion will not take them UP this season. He
has in view several theatrical engagements
that will keep him busy until next fall
When these contracts expire Jeff says he
will take on any man that has proven him
self to be a true candidate for champion
ship honors.
When spoken to regarding the recent
challenge from Johnson, the colored heavy
weight of the Pacific coast, JEFF said:
when there are no more white men in my
class to fight 1 will give up the game and
IL needs be go back to riveting boilers This
L would do before L would fight a negro. /
am honest in my contentious The best
| white men, but no blacks for me-"
"Jen'' does not believe that Fitz and Cor
| bett will ever come together again. Cor
bett Is out of the game. His day is over
| and he knows that he can get along better
| outside of the ring than in it, continued
| Jeffries. He has fought some good bat
| ties, but realizes now that it is all over for
| him.

FitxsimmOns and Gardner Are I'm
Shape for Their Battle.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.-The contest
between Bob Fftzsimmons and George
Gardner for the light heavy weight cham
pionship will be brought off at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion in this city Wednesday
night under the auspices of the Yosemite
Club. The men will meet at 1873 pounds,
and both are said to be in the pink Of con-
the older man, Fitzsimmons, is at present
the favorite in the betting at 10 to 6. He
is in hard training at his quarters at Ala
media and yesterday boxed eight rounds
each with a series of big fellows, while
Mrs. Fitzsimmons's held the watch To-
day he did less strenuous work.
Eddie Graney, who will referee the COM
ing battle, after trip to Alameda to watch
Fizsimmons at practice, said: His physi-
cal condition Is perfect, so far i can
judge. He is big, strong and confident and
promises to make the battle short, sharp
and decisive"
George Gardner has stopped his boxing
practice, but was on the road this morning
and punched the bag for half an hour this
afternoon. He says he feels he has suffi-
Gent strength to meet any fight F1tzsim-
mons may put up. and, therefore it is un-
necessary for him to continue heavy train
ing. Moreover, it would be dangerous
thing to slug with his sparring partner
when the battle which means so much to
him is so near.
THE fact that Fitzsimmons is hot ia
vorite in the betting does not disturb me a
bit" said Gardner to-day. 81 expect it.
About all can say is that If Fitzsimmons
wins he must win in quick order. 1 don't
distance, while the longer 1t goes the bet
ter I'll get"

with a few exceptions. have not shown the
proper spirit.
Roy Pike, Of Indiana University, has been

pie. During the last few years we have wit
messed a marked change In the attitude of
our church leaders toward free thought
among its lay members You know de-
tractors have sometimes referred to us as
an oligarchical church-a church governed
by a few-a church in the hands of its
bishops and presiding elders. But that is
no longer true. Our conferences now adj
nit lay delegates. and with the free discus
sion of church affairs which has character
lied cur body in the last few years all the
sting has been taken away from such criti-
cism, and to-day We are as truly democrats
as our friends, the Congregationalists and
Presbyterians.
But these new opportunities have heaped
upon US new responsibilities. IL the policy
of the church is no longer a subject for
discussion solely in the preachers meet
ings where is il TO be discussed? If the
lay members have voice in IL. where is
that voice to be heard? Certainly our
church papers are not open to the frank
discussion of many questions that are agi-
tating us now. Perhaps il Is right that
they should be closed against many of
these questions. that they should be in the
hands of censor, so to speak. However
that is. il remains that they do not fully
voice the thoughts and feelings of the mass
of our church-going people.
THE PRESS.
"The church press and the secular press
bear a totally different relation TO their
readers Our secular press papers are open
to the nearly unlimited criticism and dis
cussion of any one who cares TO have a
voice, even IL the positions taken are most
untenable. and even where they are OPP
posed TO the beliefs of a great majority of
the readers and hostile to the policy of the
paper itself. Whatever may be the justi-
fcation for II, IL there be any justifica-
ton at all. our church papers are not open
