BOSTON. Mass. Jan. S.--While the
rumors from California about Jenries
intending to go back In the ring have
made the fans In Boston incline to the
belief that JefYries will eventually meet
Johnson for the title. Charley wal
dron, owner of the Palace theater, re-
ceived letter this morning from Billy
Delaney, Jeff's former manager and
trainer. which makes II look all the
more certain that Jeffries VIII night
again.
Mr.. Waldron is a close friend also OF
Jeffries, and took the ex-champion on
the first tour he made In this country.
ir the letter to Mr.. Waldron, Delaney
says:
IL know IL ever ! could get Jeffries
to go on the road again he would be a
big attraction. had an hours talk
with the big fellow, and he has agreed
to go on tour with Al Kaufman as
a sparring partner, and he wants you
to manage them on the circuit"
Mr.. Waldron has accepted the offer
and he will leave for New York tomor'
row to get out the booking for the
pair.
In all probability, Mr.. Waldron will
bring the heavyweights In direct from
California to Boston. and begin their
tour in this city. That II will be big

finds he can get in good enough shape
again. which the tour will determine,
he will be seen in the ring against the
Negro scrapper battling for his old
title.

proved that In the majority OF cases

for him to get back again. Jim JEFF

for a victory over the black man. But
even in Jeff's case, although he would
have more chance than Corbett, 1t IL
more than probable that he would be
beaten. These two champions might
have an idea that there Is a chance fol-
