SMARTING UNDER CRITICISM
JEFFRIES DECIDES TO QUIT
POSITIVELY ASSERTS HE WILL REFEREE NO MORE FIGHTS
AT VERNON AND WILL WITHDRAW FROM CLUB
Objects by Pacy His Manager and Deter
mines Avoid Repetition by Getting Out of Game Entirely
Probably Is Acting Upon Advice of Friends Who Would
Save Him Future Similar Experiences
BY JAY DAVIDSON

beginning of the twentieth or twenty
first round Welsh had the best or the
fight and while Packy showed in the
last four or five rounds that he could
defeat Welsh, in all probability, he
loafed too long and allowed Welsh to
get too big a lead to be overcome In
such a short period without a more
vigorous finish than he put up.
HE might whip Welsh If they meet
again, but he never will do 1t in twen-
ty-five, fifty or one hundred rounds
unless he begins to fight earlier in the
bout. Both boys were tired at the end,
but neither had sustained any injuries
and in few moments after it all was
over they were as fresh and clipper
as they were previous to entering the
ring, with practically no marks to in
dictate that they had been fighting.
Welsh made him look cheap in the
first half of the fight and was fighting
as strongly at the end as was Packy.
even though II may be true that Nc
Farland was doing the better work.
my decision was correct and 1t was
the only thing 1 could do and retain
my self-respect. l would not render
any other decision under similar cir
cumstances, so strongly am l impressed
with the correctness of the draw de-
cision. 1t is because | know / was
right and, therefore, not deserving of
criticism that | am determined to quit
the game. 1t hurts me to have to take
such uncalled for criticism. l do not
have to do 1t and do not propose to
submit any longer"
Jeff may reconsider his intention of
drawing out of the club, as 1t is a
money maker, and as long as he is
connected with the sport it will pros
per. His friends, however, have WELD
ed big influence upon him and their
advice to him not to referee any more
fights. especially before his own club,
probably Is the real reason behind his
determination to quit.
The big fellow is immensely popular
because he is recognized as the great
est fighter in the history of the world,
bar none, because he is chemically
honest and on the square and because
he, in short, is what all sportsmen are
pleased to term one of the "whitest
fellows living" That is the sJperla-
tive of all compliments in the sporting
world and II represents the sentiment
of tine sporting world toward the biG
boy. 1t is because his friends know
of his highly sensitive nature that they
have advised him never to risk further
criticism by refereeing before his own
club. Regardless of the justice in his
decisions there always is a kick coming
from disappointed fighters and JEFF is
so sensitive he cannot withstand criti-
cism

Thoroughly sick at heart and dis
gusted with the whimperings of Packy
Mcfarland and his manager, Harry
Gilmore, because of his decision of a
draw in the Packy McFarland-F Freddie
Welsh scrap last Fourth of July at
Vernon, Champion Jim Jeffries last
night announced that he had decided
to entirely and literally get out of the
game for good" When asked to ex-
plain his statement, he said
mo more for me. My record is clean
and free of faint. and 1 do not have
to submit to such unreasonable criti-
cism as was hurled at me by McFar-
land and his crowd. 1 rendered the de-
cision that l felt in my heart was the
right one to give, and which truly
represented the actual results of the
scrap, and l am convinced yet that |
did exactly the right and fair thing by
both boys. l am not robber or
thief, and naturally object to being
called such pet names, especially by a
little rat like Mcfarland.
1T is my determination not to referee
any more fights, especially before my
own club, unless it be an important
match and both principals request me
to serve. 1 will not draw out of the
club now, but 1 shall do so when 1t
pays out so that my friends and asso-
ciates will have received back the
money they invested in the club. That
probably will be several weeks yet, but
/ am determined to get out of the busi-
ness and stay out forever.
"Criticism worries me, whether 1t is
deseI we'd or not, and undoubtedly 1t
hurts my business and probably indi-
Gates that the cause for criticism means
that I have made enemies. Defeated
lighters these days have to make an
eTnlanation of their defeat, and the
easiest explanation for most of them Is
that fine referee robbed him. That sort
of an explanation, when accompanied
by the kind of yawps that Mcfarland
and his crowd let out when called the
fight a draw, will not go for me-, ana
the easiest way to avoid them ana the
CONSEQUENT worry and annoyance that
follow is to quit the game. This is
what | shall do. -
"The natrons of fights support the
game and they attend because they
want TO see two manly men contest Tor
supremacy. They want to see clean;
vigorous fight from start to finish ana
win not stand for anything else very
long Mcfarland did not put up that
l.in1 IF a. fight. He seemed afraid that
he could not go the route and was
holding in for the finish, expecting TO
20 in and fight in the final rounds ana
win a victory after loat1ng through the
greatest part of the scrap.
s'He did nothing for nineteen ROUNDS
and then made his finish. UP 10 tne
