CAN, JOHNSON TRIM
EX-CHAMPION JEFFRIES?

NEW YORK, December 3O-Could Jack
Johnson beat jeff if the latter got back in
shape?
That is a question that is argued over
and over again these days in New York.
There are many who think that Jeff
would have beaten the dark fellow with
case, while there are just as many others
who declare that the boilermaker would
have broken his back trying to land on
him.
One thing most all agree upon. and that
is that Johnson would not knock the big
fellow out. no matter how easily he might
have outpointed him.
JEFF fought the heaviest in his time with
cut being groggy once. He met Sharkey.
Fitz Corbett, Choyinski, and not one OF
them ever had the big fellow in distress,
that is. as far as the helpless condition
goes. He was outboXed and cut UP at
times. but he never reeled to the ropes
once i'm his long career.
Billy Madden says that Johnson could
lick Jeffries and come out of the battle
unmarked.
ago. said Billy last night, while talking
over the go.
II had Denver Ed Martin out in Cali
fornia FIVE years ago" continued Billy,
and thought he was world-beater This
fellow Johnson met Ed and defeated him
easily I'm twenty rounds. When they met
again he knocked Martin cold in two
rounds I saw then that he was the fast
est big man in the world. and told Gus
Rubin so when came back. Gus !
said you'll never be champion of the
world There's n colored fellow out in
California who can lick you and JenrieS
and the whole bunch of heavies, and you
won't lay glove on him.. Rubin laughed,
hut he never was champion. Why. Mar
tin was baby in his hands the night OF
the fight. Johnson was SO fast that Ed
looked as though he was nailed to the
floor.
Yes sir: think that this fellow could
lick JEFF at any time. If jeff didn't think
so he'd get out and fight himself. Why
did ne ever draw the color line? He
fought Peter Jackson. Armstrong and
Griffin. but for Johnson-no-1 guess

has gone to 10 to now. Kaufman money
is plentiful and while Barry coin is not IN
abundance there are a number OF men
here who are strinsing their hopes OH the
Chicagoan.
SO confident are some of the Kaufman
hackers that one from Albuquerque, n.
NJ, sent a commission Of $500 to be placed
at even money that Barry does not stay
twenty rounds. Barry is dangerous man
and it appears as though sentiment Is
carrying Kaufman hackers away.
Barrys hands are said not to be in the
best of condition The Chicago boxer in
iured his left wrist in the ring at Maud
Junction several weeks ago and last sun
day he ripped his right fist into Frank
Mantelrs elbow while sparring with him
at the South Side Athletic Club.
The match between the Kaufman Barry
winner and DIR. b. F. Roller, the Seattle
physician. was definitely settled upon yes
terday, when the latter posted $1,000 in
real money to go as a side bet.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Harry Wolverton will take the Newark
team to Milledgeville. Ga, to train next
spring. He will be close to Stallings'
Hishlanders. and the two teams can prac-
tice together.
The only Wagner quit base ball last
year to 90 into the poultry business. Now
he has quit to follow the circus business.
and next year, it is said, he will quit the
game to make billiard tables for aero
planes.
There was one cracka jack ball player
who really did retire when he said he
would and when he was at his best. Bill
Lange was the man. and as a hitter, base
runner and fielder we have looked upon
few OF his like.
Miller Higgins says base ball is flourish
ing to such an extent in Mexico that it
threatens to become the national sport
down there. Before long the world s
championship series will be- PLAYED of
by teams from Mexico, Japan and the
little old L. S. A.
Says Artie Hoffman OF the Chicagos:
THE trade between New York and st.
Louis gives the Cardinals one Of the best
catchers in the business, and I'll wager
that all the Cubs will be glad to see Bres-
nahan 80 to st. Louis, for the Giants
should be much easier with him among
the missing"

.DR|SCO[L TOO FAST
FOR STURDY BALDWIN
The Clever Little Eng|ishman
Floors His Opponent Twice
in TWeIve-Round Bout.

BOSTON. Mass, December .O.-Jem
Driscol, the English featherweight cham
pion, was given the decision over Matty
Baldwin in their twelve-round bout at
the Armory A. A. last night. In every
point, of the art Driscoll showed his su-
periority over Baldwin, and only once
during the contest did Matty have a
"look-in.' That was in the second round,
when Driscoll got bit careless, and
while the right on the jaw that Matty
landed dazed Driscoll the latter showed
wonderful cleverness in preventing Matty
from landing any more effective punches
by blocking and stiffness. In less than
half d minute Driscoll was all right again,
and from that time to the finish Of the
contest there was never any doubt as to
Driscoll being the winner.
Driscoll the Aggressor.
Driscoll, though having a harder Oppo-
nent last night that he did when he boxed
Griffin, gave a better exhibition While
his footwork. feinting. lodging and block
ing were grand. he also showed that he
was at home when it came to mixing. lie
was as cool an iceberg at all times, and
was always ready to meet any kind of an
attack that Baldwin made. Driscol was
the aggressor through most of the con-
test, and his feinting puzzled Baldwin SO
badly at times that the latter swung
wild and often his blows fell short.
Jem Always Ready.
Driscoli was generally ready to step in
with right or left counter when he got
Matty working that way, and the blows
were either landed on the wind, face or
jaw. While at no time during the bout
did it look as if Matty would be put
away, yet in several of the rounds Dris-
coll made Baldwin bit unsteady with
either right counters or left hooks to the
jaw.
Driscoll was in far better condition than
his opponent. There was little differ
ence in their weight. though both weighed
in under 12S pounds at 6 O'Clock IN the
evening.
In the opening round there was but little
done, as both spent most Of the time try
ing to draw the other out. Driscoll did.
however. stab Matty several times on the
mouth and nose and drove the left to the
wind. A couple of light left counters on
the face was the extent of Baldwins de-
livery.
When Driscoll left his corner in the
second round he appeared to be satisfied
that he had Baldwins measure.
After feinting Matty into a lead he
drove the left to the wind. An instant
later he repeated the same blow. Matty
managed to land some lefts on the face
and rights on the body during the round.
but Driscoll outscored him by big mar
gin with rights and lefts on the face and
body. Near the close of the round Dris-
head and left hook on the jaw. Dris-
coll went right after Matty in the next
round and started by driving the left into
the wind.
