It's always queer to me why a real
champion, a man who has fought his
way into the position by whipping
all the men acknowledged to have the
least bit of a show for the title.
should have to put up with so much
slush from men who have not a look
in as a victor.
Nowadays there's a a great deal Of
money in championship fight provid-
ing the champion is careful and
makes a business deal of every fight
he enters. By passing up the weak
ones he insures an interest when he
does step into the ring. The public
will believe he is meeting a man
worth paying to see. Public conf
dence is the one great asset of the
champions. Without that they might

Anent the visit of the worlds
champion to Spokane, it might be said
there is little chance of the big fellow
getting on another championship
match soon. In fact, JEFF and his
hackers seem to think that he has
fought his last battle owing to the
lack of other championship material
that can be brought into shape for
the boilermaker. The fact that JEFF
fries can not find an opponent worthy
Of meeting him is q curious condi-
tlon in the fighting world.
Yet to hear the other fellows talk
you would think the woods were
crowded with men able to give JEFF
an argument. Simmered down to cold
facts. however. there's nothing in it
but the dope of a lot of writer's who
are working up popularity and recog
milton for a bunch of managers of
colored men who lay claims to pugi-
listic reps.
The noisiest Of these negro claim
ants at this time is Jack Johnson, the
dusky pug who lately whipped Den
yer Ed" Martin in Los Angeles. The
pair fought two rounds which ended
in knockout and this. the johnson
people say, entitled their man to a
chance at Jeffries. And how they are
bowling over JEFF drawing the color
line. Everybody-that is everybody
with a colored mote in his eye-de-
clares the champion has no right to
draw the color line.

good to see. Anyway the boxing will

Do the people who give a sort Of
support to every such batch of pre-
tensions ever stop to think what they
are asking. They certainly know
that it's worth thousands of dollars
to any man to be recognized by JEFF
fries. regardless Of whether he ever
raises his mitt in the ring when once
there. The losers end in a cham
pionship battle is more money than
most Of the pugs see in a lifetime.
And this money they are demanding
that the champion pass over to them
simply because they happened to
knock out a man who weighed over
ITO pounds.

Jeffries suffered once from being
mixed up with big dub who couldn't
fight but whom a lot of people really
believed would gain the championship.
That was the greatly punctured Butte
miner-Jack Munroe. Time and again
Jeff tried to explain that the rdlner
was no match for him, but the cIevet
advertising of the vaudeville circuit
forced Munroe into a false popularity
and compelled the champion at ,last
to recognize the dub. True 1t Is that
Munroe's advertising made him s9fne.
thing of a financial proposition, but
at the same time, the champion adj
hered from the start to the fact that
going in against a man who was in
no wise a match for him might injure
the game and give Munroe profits he
was not entitled to.

That's about the sum and substance
of the demand of negro Johnson for
recognition. That coon and his man.
ayers know as well as Jeffries' man.
ayers do that he has no more chance
of getting a match with the cham
pion than of going to heaven in an
airship. But they also know there's
just enough suckers alive who can be
made to believe that JEFF is afraid of
the negro and that's making the ne
