Chicago. Dec. 27.-James j. Corbett

The impression seems to have spread

me. ] have gone too far in theatrical
work to step back into active paid work
connected with the prize ring.
But It. is just as true that L am going
Into training myself at once-this week
so that 1 can get into the proper con-
dition to give Jeffrics the boxing that
he needs.
These are facts: 1 was in London
when Jeffries jumped down from Carls-
bad and asked me how much money
would take to train him for the conf
Ing battle. 1 replied that there was
not enough money in circulation for
that
But added that I would gladly drop
everything and go with him as friend.

wherever he goes. for the last 40 days
before his fight; that l would be in his
corner at the battle and that would

II feel that with the proper aid and

If nothing untoward intervenes he will
defeat Johnson"

TOM SHARKEY HAS
HIS LITTLE TO SAY

New York, Dec. 26.-Tom Sharkey says
It's hard matter to try to dope out q
fight seven months before the men climb
Into the ring. but looking over the situa-
tion OF the Battle OF the Century he feeis
confident that Jim Jeffrics will collect the
large end of tho purse when he meets
Jack Johnson on July 4.
Now. before / go any further" he said
today. II want to say that am looking
at this great contest from the outside.
1t is only natural that should hope that
Jeffries wins the battle, IL only to have
tho title remain IN the white mans class.
Many may shriek that there should be no
color line In the flghting game. but thero
Is and always will be as long eS We are
on this earth. This does not mean that
1 am knocking johnson. II there was
ever a colorcd man that was really
white, Johnson Is tho man. II he had
been born light instead OF blackwell.
there might have been q different story.
have met both fighters time and timo
again and want to go oil record as say
ing that l claim that consider the pair
two clever men in the ring; and outside
of the squared circle they are men that
are worth knowing.
There Is one wall that has never
stopped since Jim Jcffrlcs signed up for
the battle. The croakerS have chirpcd
without drawing long breath, Jeffrics
will have to get back his wind That's
the best joke l ever heard since Joe MIL
lcr stopped kidding the public. One would
think Jim Jeffries was an ordinary NOR
tal. Let me tell you thing OF two. Jim
Jeffries is a fighter that is produced once
In century. He is composed of tough
hbcrs incased In bulk that Is almost
unnatural.
with ell respects to jon, he is like a
big black bear Weighing a ton. full of
ginger and aching for fight And they
ask: How about his wind? That is tho
best Joke OF the year. II he has no trou-
BILE with his wind there will be no fight.
Instead. the coroner will have a job on
his hands trying TO nnd out what killed
a tall. wiry colorcd man. AS long as you
asked me-. 1 want to give the inside
dope on this night, and you can bet the
family Jewels that Tom Sharkey knows
what he is saying. Let Jim Jeffries en-
ter the ring ono-1aif fit-remember, half
ft-as the day he met me at Coney Is
land 10 years ago. and he will win In a
canter"
