has ever produced Though almost
preadamlte in his rugged physical
build muscular power and endurance,
he always avoided a meeting with
Johnson In those past days JEFF had
2 good right TO refuse to meet John
son on another ground than merely
that OF color. Johnson had not beaten
a really able fighter at tho time JeiG
was in active service. Therefore the
champion could well say. GO get a
reputation"
Today however, the situation is far
different Johnson has made a repu
tation He has been credited with a
championship title JEFF can now
meet him without sacrificing one jot
OF his dignity or self respect
Jcns claim that he could not get
back into his former condition Is not
sound He can do that He has not
been dIssipatlnF He has not ad-
vanccd materially in age. He has the
same rugged physical foundation on
which 10 build.
Jen knows he can defeat Johnson.
Probably that Is why he has been re-
fusing 10 meet the negro. But the
public does not know this. The only
way for JEFF to convince the public
that nc can whip Johnson is to whip
him.
JEFF. on the other hand. knows all
the inside history Of the Johnson
Burns match in Australia. Perhaps
he is disgustcd with the careless man
ner In which Burns conducted himself
in the battle Burns continually swung
with his right. thus leaving himself
open for effective countering by the
negro When the negro INDUCED in
swings, Burns In spite OF his superior
agility, never seemed capable of cOun-
tering or even blocking successfully,
Jcm possibly figures that he would
rather not have anything to do with
either party 10 the Australian match
The hard hitting Burns OF the past
was seen to be n tip Taper. a nd
! dlcr," a brazen "staller" Naturally
such an exhibition would tend to dis
gust a man OF Jeff's sterling qualities
That JEFF could get well over $780,
600 by meeting Johnson Is n certainty,
More than one promoter would give
$50. 900 to get him in the ring. Patrl-
otlc American Sportsmcn would con-
tribute q total of $50, 900 or $3.50 ad
ditional for tho sake Of seeing JEFF In
action against the negro.
Whether Jeff Will continue TO refuse
the profits that would be his for such
n bout Is open to doubt He Is under
thirtyhvc years of age He has no
organic disease. He could make prac-
tically his own terms.
