SPECULATION over
JEFF And JOHNSON

New York, Oct. 35.--whIle the sport
ing public awaits the contract formali-
ties and the selection OF place for
the battle, discussion Of the relative
merits OF Jim Jeffries, the one-time
boilermaker, and Jack johnson, his
black opponent-to-be, goes on unabat-
ed.
This Jeffries-J johnson bout gives
strong early promise OF ecIipslng In
Importance any fight in the history Of
the ring, for 1t lends itself to every
angle Of sporting interest and variety
OF speculation. Jeffries' dislike for
Johnson Is well known and IL win be
business with the retired champion
from the moment he chambers through
the ropes. Johnson once knocked out
Jack Jeffries, brother of Jim. and this
added TO the fact that johnson brought
Jeffries out Of his retirement when he
was happy In the thought that he was
through with fighting, has not served
to increase any good will of Jefrrtes
toward Johnson. That Jeffries' cont1i-
ton seems to be excellent is apparent.
to those who have met him since his
return from Europe The big fellow
claims to have trained zeaIousIy while
abroad, but II Is still question wheth-
er ne has the hitting power and
strength that put out Fitzsimmons and
CorbetG and his four years OF idleness
must be taken into consideration.
never went into the ring but once
with hard feeling toward the other
Ielow," said Jeffries. THAT was Mon
roe. And he went OUT in two rounds.
This Johnson has been making too
much noise. and think a white man
should be champion anyway, so Won
can figure out what's going to happen
to him"
Johnson has proved himself to be a
marvellous defensive fighter, and when
ne saw good openings showed flashes
or punching powers. Having never
been fully extended, he will be an un-
known quantity that will have to be
solved In sizing UP his chances with
Jeffries. Johnson is younger than
Jeffries and is in his prime.

He's too quiet. Yes, / do most OF the
talking for Jim. and I'm telling you
now that as sure as I'm here, he will
Tight and he will win, too.
He told you at Hardin Springs, the
time we were up there, that when he
was too old to train he was too old to
fight. didn't he2 Well, when he found
that he was still there with a bit of
shyness on the wind he declared that
he'd make another try, and in a few
months he will.
The stage game was merely a work
out Jim never made any money in the
ring before in his life. He's been no
poser for the populace to howl and
cheer over. When he quit the ring he
went quietly to the farm and never
said boo He realizes now that he's
the only man who has chance with
Johnson. The public wants TO see him
fight, and now that he is all right he
will start light work"
Suppose he had jumped in the ring
six months ago and was licked? why
the sports never would stop hoIlerfng.
They'd say he went in for the losers
end, knowing that he had no chance.
They can't say that now. Believe me
when ! say that he's as good as ever.

GREAT CONTRAST
IN TWO CONTESTS
FARGO FOOTBALL FANS SAW
BOTH CLEAN AND DIRTY FOOT
BALL IN A PAIR OF GAMES
PLAYED HERE LAST sATUR-
DAY AFTERNOON.

Few football contests in Fargo were
ever pulled off in cleaner or more
gentlemanly manner than that between
the Fargo and Grand Forks high
school teams Saturday afternoon.
The play was fast and hard, but II
was legitimate. There was little or
no kicking against the decisions of the
officials by either team, despite the
fact that the Grand Forks official
gave Fargo four downs in the first
part Of the first half and this made
the first touchdown come trif1e
more quickly. The visitors were gen
tlemanly opponents of the game and
the locals equally clean. There was
nothing Of the mucker in evidence.
Down at Fargo college the Wahpe-
ton School of Science put up one of
the toughest contests ever seen. There
were four fist scraps In quick success
sion. A lot Of the fans like pugilism
as We'll as football, but they don't like
the two in combination. Manikowske
and Chezdew of the visitors were the
chief offenders. Some one should re-
strain these young men. They are
both star players and it is too bad
.ASS 'o9S hltSI hSaus ana lnVolVe
themselves IL. fisticuffs
There was another objectionable
feature Of the same game Both
Coaches Watkins of the f. G. and
Dorner of the visitors were on the
field entirely too much. 1t looks bad
and angers the spectators. OF course
the men probably did nothing out of
the way and merely acted as trainers
and attendants, but their presence
within the lines didn't help the game.

TO DECIDE CITY
CHAMPIONSHIP
FARGO COLLEGE AND A. c. WILL
CLASH NEXT MONDAY FOR THE
PREMIER FOOTBALL HoNoRs
or FARGO = CONTEST SHOULD
BE FAST.

The next big card In local football
circles IL the game Monday afternoon.
Nov. /, between the aggies and the
preachers for local football honors. For
years and years the farmers mauled
the sky pilots around eft will. but last
year things were different and what
the parsons did to the ''punkin" husk-
ers will not soon be forgotten This
season the aggies are out for revenge
and T.. G. hopes to repeat
The only line on the teams is the
games with Wahpeton. Both played
the science school. The A. G. lost 16
to H. The u. G. had tie score, to o.
Comparisons are always odioua, but In
this case they may be somewhat inter-
esting as well. The failure OF Wahpe-
ton to score on the H. C. might be
construed to mean that Fargo college
has better defense than the a. G.
on the other hand r. G. couldn't score
on Wahpeton when the A. g. did. This
may mean the r. G. has weaker OF =
Tense than the aggies
There Is another element, too. The
A. G. has been strengthened since the
Wahpton game by barrow, Anderson
and Wurtenburger and the team il
faster than when It met wahpeton.
Each bunch has its enthusiastic sup
porters Neither team has walk over
by any means.

JEFF HAS DOUBTS.
Not Sure That Johnson Really Means
FIGHT.


New York, Oct. 25.-"Any word from
Johnson" inquired Jeffries, smiling, as
he emerged from the Albany hotel
Johnson is coming east to meet
you" Jeffries was told
He is. is he?" explained the big
heavyweight We'll, don't you bet on
1t. I don't believe Johnson is in any
rush to get here"
DO you think Jack is trying to avoid
the match?" was the next query put
to the big fellow.
TN have to see the color OF his
money before / believe he is I'm earn
est" Jim replied
Jeffries says that as soon as John
son arrives here a meeting will be ar
ranged between them. According to
Jeffries there is fear that johnson may
balk the match with impossible pro-
posals 1t is genuinely Jeffries opin-
ion that Johnson is afraid of him and
does not want to fight in any event
He was asked what he meant by i'm
possible proposals, and he replied:
81 don't know what they may be.
may possibly be misjudging the negro.
He may be strictly on the level, but /
have my doubts, have gone to a lot
of trouble and expect to make john
son show his cards and / don't propose
to allow him to chuck a bluff on me at
this stage IL | can help it. He has
either got to fight now or stand before
the public as the biggest fourhusher
the game has ever known. Il will not
take more than an hour to fix up the
terms once we meet and johnson is in
earnest"

ASSOCIATION MAY
INVADE CHICAGO

Chicago. Oct. 25.-The report of the
proposed invasion of Chicago by the
American association was revived to-
day, when it became known that
ground is soon to be broken on the
north side for q new baseball park
It is said that cement and steel
grandstand, large enough to accom-
MEDIATE an enormous crowd. will also
be built.
The fact that this property is con-
trolled by G. H. Havenor, of Milwau-
kee, and that one of the CantiIlons also
owns stock in part of 1t, caused the
report that the American association
might put q club In the city as early
as next season. This is not generally
credited by the baseball men, however.
the prevailing opinion being that, for
the present at least,a semi professional
club. with John King, the catcher, will
be located in the new park The idea
OF putting send professional club in
the city next season would be used
simply as a ''feeler."
