There seems to be an effort m N.
part of certain fight fans TO jnducs M
Jim Jeffries 10 shed his oyerans ari

into the ring again. and clean nm n,
small army OF alleged "chamnasn,s
that Is now buzzing around the heayy.
weight title like lot Of flies around ,
bursted molasses barrel. The latest !,
from Jack Curley. who was In "a,
Lake with Marvin Hart when the M.
ter went to the coast to receive an sr,
full lambasting from Tommy Burns
Curley Is quoted as saying "JeNrt,
has worked UP such a dislike FOR Han
that I think II he had beaten Burn,
tho big fellow might have been drawn
into the ring to beat Hart, Just as \,
went after Jack Monroe,
Now. from the talk | heard Bill
Delaney Is urging the husky fighter IA
take another shy at the game Jefhs,
confdes to Delaney that there 4, 2
acres of nice land on one side o, NJ,
ranch for sale and he would Ike IA
get II. There IL another 20 on the oh.
or side and he would like to have a "a.
tie money to make the purchase
Well says Delaney, you know II,
quickest and easiest way To get ,h
money 'How's that says jeff OK
out and fight one Of these corners, say
Delaney. and that IS the way II soa
when Delaney looks him over and ~,
what magnificent shape the biz fellow
is in he is perfectly willing 10 have hB
come back. Jeffries himself hangs hi
n bit when Il comes 10 fights. ! thHt
You know no didn't draw with Jst,
Munroe what he thought he ought ~
and his show life disappointed him an
he got sore on the public game, hhS
II big conner showed up and nri
talk was started about his being
wonder. Jefries would come out \,
would have To- be shown that the fellow
would raw before he could get Interest,
ed He looks good 10 me right nov !
met him out there and had a talk trying
to get him 10 shake bands with Ha'l
II think right now that JET colh
beat n half dozen OF the alleged big fs'
lows at once, he LOOKS so good"
The matter of draw" Is where IN
rub comes. Who Is there In the rfs
today who could even make II Interest
ing for Jeffc Take EN- all down u,
line. Fitz' is a dead one, Hart would
stand about as much chance OF beauis
JEFF that feather would have OF r.

resort presided over by an amorphcA
monster with a four tined fork lhs
idea Of Jack Johnson, Burns or JaS
O'Brien giving jeff a fight Is TO cnu',
kle. A fight with any Of the alles'i
ton notchors would draw about enough
for jeff to invest In new pitchforh
when Tommy Ryan was In salt law
he had considerable to say about 'Pil'
adelphia Jack" O'Brien and now y
would whip the man from sopIos
Then OBrien came back with "a
