HART AFTER JEFFRIFS.
Kentucky Boxer Believes He Can Trim
the Champion

A special from San Francisco says: Il will
sign articles to fight Champion Jim Jeffries
for the heavyweight title as soon as he
says the word. 1 am ready to hook up with
him at any time, and 1 think that l am the
only man in the world who would have a
chance to beat him I have beaten Jack
johnson, a man Jeffries has been side-step-
ping for months, and l can put it on the
boiermaker, too"
Marvin Hart. the Kentucky scrapper who
outfought JackJohnson, earning the decision
at the end of twenty furious rounds. made
the above statement yesterday afternoon.
That he means business there is no doubt,
for he is ready to post a forfeit to bind the
contest. and says If Jeffries passes along
the word that he will fight there will be no
trouble about conditions or anything of
that sort
Hart and his friends are so jubilant over
the way he polished off the colored man
that they would bet big slice of money
that he is Jeffries' equal at least. so salts
fled are they that he would be able TO
hold his own with the boiermaker. They
say that to Outright Johnson as he did. CIV
ing the negro many pounds and a beating,
shows that Hart is the best heavyweight in
the world, outside of Jeffries, and that only
a meeting with the champion is needed to
show that even jeff is not to be ranked
above the Kentuckian.
In San Francisco sporting circles nothing
was talked of but the Johnson-Hart
battle and the chances of fight between
Jeffries and Hart being arranged. Every
man who saw the fight gave Hart credit
for the battle he put up. They pointed out
the fact that the victory over Johnson
would give Hart any amount of confidence,
and that that would go a long way toward
making him a good opponent for the big
bolermaker.
That the tight will be arranged there
seems little doubt. Jeffries has said that
he would meet Hart if the public wanted
him to, and there is certain to be a demand
for him to again defend his title That the
contest will take place in San Francisco is
sure, for there is no other place that can
pull 1t off. 1t is probable that Jeffries will
sign with Hart within a month, and that
the battle will be held in the early fall
