Harry Corbetts a prominent sporting
man told the story this way:
"Now from the talk l heard, Billy
Delaney is urging the husky Fighter TO
take another shy at the game. Jeffries
confides to Delaney there is 80 acres
Of nice land on one side Of his ranch
for sale and he would, like to get it.
There is another 20 on the her side
and he would like to have a little
money to make the purchase.
We'll says Delaney. you you know
the quickest and easiest way to get
that money.
"How's that?' says Jeff.
"Get out and fight one of these COM
ers.' says Delaney, and that is the way
it goes.
when Delaney looks him over and
sees what magnificent shape the big
fellow is in he is perfectly willing to
have him come back. Jeffries himself
hangs back bit when it comes to
fights, | think. You know, he didn't
draw with Jack Monroe what he
thought he ought to, and his show life
disappointed him, and he got sore on
the public game. | think if a big
conner showed up and some talk was
started about his being a wonder JEFF

to be shown that the fellow would draw
before he could get interested. He
