RESULT OF FIGHT
No SURPRISE TO
jim JEFFR|ES
Retired Champion, However,
Will Not Fight Jack
Johnson.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 26.-James
J.. Jeffries, former heavyweight pugil-
istic champion or the world, evinced
no surprise when the news reached him
that Jack Johnson, the Texas negro,
had won from Tommy Burns at sgd
ney, Australia, today.
Il thought he would win unless they
had his legs n hands tied,' was his
comment on the result. Burns had
no right to fight Johnson for the
heavyweight championship. 1 never
looked for any other result, and / did
not expect the night to go so far"
When he was asked about the probable
fty Of. bringing off Il championship fight in
this country between johnson and the
winner of the coming Barry
fight, JeffrieS said that his club will make
an immediate effort to- arrange such an
affair. but that 1t would doubtless take
some time to decide what could be done
about 1t. He said thar an offer will be
cabled to son at once, and that il will
be a substantial one. AT the present time,
he said, * is not certain that either Barry
negro, both of them having lnclInatons
toward drawing the coior line, as far as
ohnso Is concerned, at least.
Jefries said he has retired from the ring
for good and has no Intention whatever In
trying 10 be champion again. He said that
johnson would be able 10 demand p hand
some sum for a fight now. If it was posi-
considers the winner OF the Barry-Kauf-
mann fight the. likeliest man 10 try for the
heavyweight championship against the new
winner Of the title.
