Naughton's Opinion
OF the Big Fighters

| ly becomes tongue-tied when anyone
talks fight to him, the chances are he
is simply ill-advised in the present in
stance. But whether he is following
the dictates of some master mind or
not 1t can scarcely be claimed that
of the two evils-Johnson and Lang
ford-he has chosen the lesser.
ketchc Too Small.
With Lancford Ketchel could be
looked to to make some kind of
showing. Indeed. If the two men were
on Il par in the matter of vulnerable
ity 1t would be a fairly safe invest
ment backing Ketchel TO win. With
that rangy, talented 2O0-pounder, Jack
johnson, for an opponent there Is
doubt in my mind as to whether Ket-
chel could land an effective punch. 1t
Is foolish proposition, on the face
OF ii, and while it isn't easy, some
times, to tell what will hit the popu-
lar fancy, / doubt whether any con-
siderable portion of the fight follow
ing contingent will ever be persuaded
to regard a JohnSon-Ketchel contest
seriously.
An acquaintance of the writer sug-
eested the other day that the affair
might be made spectacular and inter
esting, if it ever came to head by
having Jeffries, Sharkey and Jim Cor
bett in Ketchels corner Maybe If this
trio of Queensberry eXempts were to
act as Ketchers seconds they could
rail at and threaten the big black"
so while the fight was on that John
son would wax timid and only half
extend himself.
Ketchel is in a dilemma all right
and maybe it is not too late for him
to take the advice Tommy Burns
didn't take. and declare, Il am
whito worlds champion, and | draw
the color line"
While the writer has always held
that in the prize ring all races should
be equal, there crops up case OF
where a champion is justified in TAX
irg into account the individual traits
OF himself and the man he is asked
10 meet.
Langford Built For Fighting.
Ketchel Is u rather f1ne-tibered fell
low. with none of the earmarks OF
the ideal prlzefighter. He does not
even possess the heavy lower jaw
which Is recognized as the guinea
stamp Of the breed. His features bear
refined look and his face. while 1t
suggests the active athletic tempera-
ment, is rather the face Of college
footballer than OF pugilist.
The secret of successful matchmak-
ing is TO have everything appearing
as equal as possible before the men
are put to the test 1t would require
quite a stretch of imagination to make
Langford and Ketchel appear equally
matched. Any sane man, on seeing
the pair in a ring would say. why,
that white boy will need to be twice
as good fighter as the other in or
der TO- win"
Langford may not be able to hit as
hard OF as true as Ketchel; he may
have neither the courage nor the deX-
terity, but he has, if looks count for
anything, stock of endurance that
is reasonably certain OF bringing him
home a winner after Ketchels shifts
| and swings are sped.

san Francisco. Jan. 15.-The clam
ar for a Jim Jeffries-Johnson fight
is growing. Pretty Joon the howl OF
The hungry fight fans will be as tho
enarllnG of a famished wolf pack or
,he growl of angry waves on rock
bottom coast.
Nor will Jeffries' appearance be
fore the footlights allay the tumult,
On the contrary 1t would have a dis
.urbing effect on the dissatisfied pub
&c mind. The gallery gods viii twit
Jeff: the holders of reserved seats will
criticise him just as thoroughly
though less noisily.
And how will it all end? Some of
,he oldtimers think that before Wig
sam Week, even, has passed, JEFF will
fail to withstand the pressure; that
ne will cry out, I've had enough of
,kis. Bring on your Johnson and |
Will fight him at twenty-four hours
notice"
That an undercurrent Of belief to
.he effect that JEFF will fight Johnson
again exists Is very evident In the
assumption that such a match is in
eyitable some of the sports are al
ready asking why the Australians
should secure such high class attrac-
tion. II jeff electrltles the world OF
snort with the bare announcement
mat he Is ready to meet Johnson and
leaves the match open to bidders IT
goes without saying that some Of the
Widest schemes imaginable will be
propounded to the retired champion.
There will be many offers from reput,
tblo concerns in the United States as
veil. and it will be for JEFF to attempt
lhe task of separating the wheat from
ibe tares.
Jeffries Could Have Beaten Negro.
A question that is frequently put is
low would jeff have compared with
a man of Johnson's known cleverness
when JEFF was champion? The an
swer to this Is that Johnson would
have lasted but a short time In front
Of some Of the men JEFF has beaten.
johnson would have made no better
showing with Fitzsimmons than Pet
er Maher did. and In the writer's opin-
Ion Jim Corbett, in his good years,
would have found Johnson an easy
mark.
Nearly the last act of Jeffrics' Of
fetal career as worlds champion was
to outlook Jim Corbett, who, in the
opinion of many. was the cleverest
big man the world has known. In the
case OF Jeff and Johnson it isn't mat
Ter of a numbering white man being
sent against talented negro. The
only question is can Jeff take up the
game where he left off and perform
as well.
1t is very evident that so far as
rublic opinion is concerned Stanley
Ketchel has started off on the wrong
foot. In the hope Of diverting atten-
ton from a Langford-Ketchel match
tie has Issued a flamboyant challenge
to Jack Johnson, and he seems to
have been caught in the act. AS Ket-
chel is reserved TO a fault, and usual
