Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-09-19

present time, remarks prominent Chicago sporting writer, has not yet been developed, and by the time he has been, Jeffries will be sans teeth, sans hair, sans everything. At the present time there Is no man who deserves a match with the champion. Scour the whole world and you cannot find any pugilist who has the right to challenge Jeffries even. Undoubtedly he will re- ceive many challenges, but they must come from men as unworthy of notice as was Munroe. To develop fighter who would have a chance against Jeff fries and would have right to fight him for the championship will take several years at least. The champion IS no longer 8 young man as fighters go and in a few more years will have reached the age limit for pugilists- that is, what is considered the age imit-a rule which is proved by the
 remarkable exception in Fitzsimmon's rase. Supposing within the next four pr five years some new heavyweight makes his appearance and works his way into national prominence. finally, as continuation of his fighting career, challenging Jeffries. It would not be contrary to his right and to general good sense for the champion to refuse to accept the def He well might say that during the years of his active pugilistic life he fought all corners, and that now, having aged considerably from the athletic standpoint and re- tired from the ring. he refused to en- ter it again. Of all the heivy-weights In this country there is not one who can be named as fighter worthy of chance with Jeffries. The men who gave him his hardest battles have all been beaten at least once and are out of the running. Sharkey. who gave him the hardest battle he ever fought Is has-been. Never, since he fought the champion and lost the decision in Deffries, only championship fight which. went the limit, has the sailor been the same man. Tn that battle his ribs were smashed and battered so that for years afterward he was obliged to wear steel corsets Sharkey, by the way, is the best man Monroe ever fought before he met the champion. The fight be- tween these two took place in Philadel- phia. and consequently there was no decision. Munroe, however, is credited with having had the better of 1t, which was only evidence of how far back Sharkey1 had gone. Corbett, who put ap the next longest battle with Jeffries, aas had his second chance and has been thoroughly whipped. Fitzsimmons, all DO, can never rightfully claim another match. Such men as Ruhlen and Mon roe are not worth consideration. Jeff tries is probably the one heavyweight champion, who will go to his grave undefeated.
