JEFF WONT MEET NEGRO
DELANEY DENIES REPORT THAT
THE CHAMPION is WILLING TO
FIGHT JACK JOHNSON.

Billy Delaney, manager of Jim
Jeffries, heavyweight champion of the
world, was in Chicago last night on
his way east. He was accompanied
by Eddie Hanlon, the featherweight,
who fought Young Corbett'' for the
championship of that class.
Delaney denied vigorously the re-
port that Jeffries had decided to
withdraw his objection to meeting
colored fighters, and would consent to
box Jackson.
l. '.You can put me on record as say
ing that Jeffries never made such g.
statement" said Delaney. IT don't
know where the rumor originated,
unless it was started by some of John
sons friends, with a view to forcing
Jim into a match. If such is the case
they are merely wasting their time.
There's no use worrying Jeffries when
he has once made up his mind re-
garding a matter. If he ever loses
his title it won't be to a negro. We
have nothing against Johnson person
ally, but if he is looking for fight he
mustSseek it among his own kind or
with white boxers who hold different
opinions on this subject from the
big fellow
Young Corbett has signed articles
to meet Dave Sullivan at San Fran
CISCO the end of this month. Corbett
is also matched to meet Jimmy Britt
March Is. When Britt heard Of Cor
belts action he declared that the
Corbett-Britt match would not take
places Britt, however. has already
posted a $4,000 forfeit to meet Cor
bett, and the agreement does not pro-
hibit Corbett meeting any other OPP
ponent before March Is.
Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe have
been matched to fight six rounds in
Philadelphia, Saturday evening, Feb.
81. Bert Crowburst is managing the
affair and will act as referee. Shar-
key has been in training for some
time, and says he is in fine condition.
Munroe is being coached by Kid Nc
Coy, and is said to be a wonderfully
improved boxer.

According to the press dispatches
there have been some important con-

Republicans. generally, approve of
these meetings of the party leaders,
who are in measure responsible for
an intelligent presentation Of the

campaign. Similar conferences have
been or are being held by state, dis
