Jack Munroe, seemed to have done well
in engaging Clark Ball as his manager.
The Butte miner. who is just now travel
ing on his reputation Of being the only
man. who ever knocked Jim Jeffries off his
pins, assumes championship airs, and says
Jeff must put out Mexican Pete Everett
before engaging him again. MunrOe is
wise in his generation. Without paying
attention to the: claims Of Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons that the latter let 1Munroe
stay four rounds. to please the crowd at
Butte, there is little doubt that the cham
pon would put out Munroe in short order.
if lie met him again. But Munroe coached
by Ball, is just foxy enough to make what
money he can while his prestige lasts.
When he can make no more money in the
show business, he can take on Jeffries,
and stand to lose nothing, no matter who
wins the fight. 80 -.
Munroe maybe the man to put Jeffries.
out but he must go a long way before he
is regarded seriously as a championship:
possibility. Meanwhile. Jeffries, despite
stories in regard to his escapades with
vaudeville actresses, will retain the title
and the confidence of the public. ::
-.,-.- How to- Put Jeffries Out. >.
The New York Journal has compiled a.
symposium of, opinions by prominent
pugilists in regard to the best blowsto put
the, schampion-ssto the boards Here are
| sorne of them: 4 - .-@ ~ ~ " -.
|. 3Bitzsimmons: A punch on the, jaw will
put Jeffres out if they can hit him there
with enough force. In regards to the
press notices that Jeffries was knocked to
his knees, they are, malicious falsehoods
Mui1roe- was never in the game during the
! four rounds. I told Jeffries to put him
out after the first round, and .J eff said
No. that he would let him stay and
give the people the worth of their money
| ", l,c,
Justice I am surprised at: the news
papers doing such injustice to an Ameri-
| can champion. = - -
James j. Corbett: The best punch to
put Jeffries out is a left-hand swing to the
! stomach. With any other fellow 1 would
prefer to try for the jaw, but this is
Jeffries' strong point He has jaw like
3iron. and you are apt to do more damage
to your hand than to his jaw in landing
a punch. A solar picks punch would
surely do the trick. It would render
! Jeffries helpless at least for ten seconds.
| 1t is strange but nevertheless: fact.
! that no fighter ever made any. great effort
to get at Jeffries' stomach. l believe gthat
| is his weakest point, and there is no doubt
| but that he knows it, for he takes particu
! lar trouble to defend his stomach at all
times. 49,. S#1E. -. = =
J Tommy Ryan, think a, boxer of the
Corbett school has the. best chance tt
|
leading, and by fighting Jeffres' body he
would have a good. chance. His BODY Is
the weak spot, in my opinion. When he
fought Corbett he was very tired at times
from constantly missing Coroett when the
latter would feint. / don't think slug.
l ger can beat him. 49,, e. -
Kid McCoy-Jeffries like al, othe,
fighters. can be knocked out and the bes
punch to do the trick is the right ha nc
swing. 1t is an easy: blow to land on tn,
champion. as a, little feinting would caus,
him to raise. his guard and leave the iay
exposed. The swing has greater fore
than any other punch. and the law is tn
: best place to land it ~. I. :sss.2.~:. /
Terry McCiover1l---7'ne easiest way t.
) knock Jeffries out would be with a left
hand hook or jolt to the jaw. In ass,im
ing a crouching position Jeffries leave
his jaw exposed and it is always starin
an opponent in the face. A sston1a q
} punch would be effective but it is alrnos
impossible to land a blow there on tn
