stand on his feet, n all the pugli1Stlc
According to report, as soon as john
son heard of Jeff's act he notified
James O'Leary, of Chicago. to forward
$4,000 to New York to bind the match.
AT this writing the money had not ar
rived, but it probably will in a day or
two.
The only stipulation that Jeff made
regarding the money end was that
$4,000 more should be posted when ar
tieles are signed, and that the $4,000
should stand as a side bet. Johnson
VII probably squeeze out of this.
! Most persons are sure that the big
fellow will beat the negro to a stand
still, for he has just what Is lacking In
Johnson's style. aggressiveness. john
son is a wonderful defensive fighter
and Has q wicked punch that will lay
low almost any man. But he lacks ag-
g~ressiveness, as has been said before.
In the writer's opinion that is going to
beat the black man. Jeff, for a big fell
low, is fast on his feet and has the
blow of a pile driver. He'll be able to
get, through that great guard of john
sons where another would fail. His
speed, bulk and hitting power will be
his "arms" in battle. 1t ought to be a
pretty fight so long as Jack can keep

Jeff away. but after that the ring
siders may start q count on the con-
queror of Tommy Burns.
It's considered certain, too, that If
Fitzsimmons broke his hands trying
to work the haymaker on Jeff, Jack
johnson will not be able to put the big
fellow to sleep.
Now that Jeff has posted his forfeit,
and in view of the fact thai he said
he would not fight unless he knew that
he woul be in his old-time trim, fol-
lowers of pugilism may safely lay their
little bets down If the men ever get
into the ring that Jeffries will come out
victorious. Jeff was the greatest
heavy" that ever stepped into the
ring, greater tina ever Johnson could
be, because the white man has every
thing that should make for a cham
pion of the world.
