JEFF WILL NOT FIGHT

RICHARD BUSY WITH OFFERS
GoIdReId Promoter Tries to Smoke
Out the Retired Champion, but He
Refused to Again Put on the Toys.
Big Offer for NeIsOn-Gans Bout.
Johnson Ready TO Fight.

New York, Dec. 19.-Articles of agree
ment for a fight between James J. Jeffries
and Jack Johnson. the colored heavy
weight, have not been signed yet, and
there are so many little Ifs used in dis
cussing the proposed mill that it would
not be at all surprising If the whole mat
ter went up In smoke. When pinned down
to-day as to his plans for arranging the
battle. TEX" Richard. the Goldfie!d pro-
moter who is here, is inclined to qualify
his statements for publication.
He said that he had heard that Jeffries
would agree to return to the ring provid
ing $4,000 purse was offered and a suit
able opponent bobbed up. but Richard
could not say definitely whether JEFF had
agreed TO tackle Johnson. on whom he
drew the color line some time ago. Rick
ard declared. however, that II Jeffries
would consent to meet Johnson 70 a finish
at Goldiield next summer he would readily
hang up $4,000 for the mill, and would
offer the same amount for Jeffries to
meet BIZ Squires. Of Australia. in case
the boilermaker stiD objected TO the
colored man.
In addition to these propositions, Rick
ard said that If JEFF would agree TO meet
Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns, one after
the other, In the same ring on the same
day. he would guarantee a $4,000 prize,
and would also bet 100000 on the side
that JEFF could defeat both men. Getting
down to cases. the GOldfield promoter
could not say that he had received any
direct word from Jeffries that the latter
would fight again, and as far as Johnson
was concerned. he said that he only had
the word Of Sam Fitzpatrick, who vas
recently repudiated by Johnson, that the
coloTed man was eager 10 mix It up with
the champion
Johnson Ready to Fight.
From Los Angeles came word last night
that JEFF was away on a hunting trip,
out Of everybody's reach. and that on
leaving he had positively stated that
under no circumstances would he ever
crawl through the ropes in fighting toys
again. Johnson. meanwhile. is quoted as
saying TO newspaper men at Los Angeles.
where he arrived to-day, that he viii
fight JEFF at the drop of the hat. and Will
bet $1,000 on the side The colored man,
according 10 a published interview. de-
clares that Jenries IS not the man ne was
three years ago Johnson says he can
put It all over the boilermaker, close both
Of his eyes. and finally put him away.
This kind Of talk, II Johnson has really
made It, may be the means Of inducing
Jeff 10 come back.
Should JEFF actually meet Johnson in the
ring. and If the big champion could re-
duce TO his best fighting weight. 30
pounds. sporting men all over the coun-
try would regard the mill as an easy
thing for the white man.
Richard supplemented his talk on the
big fight with an offer Of $4,000 for Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson 10 fight 10 a I'm
ISL at Ely. New. some time next year.
