POINTED REMARKS
ON BIG BATTLE BY
TOM M'CAREY

"Johnson is the greatest defensive
fighter In the world. A lion could
not whip him in less than Ave or six
rounds, so strong is his guard
"Jeffries did not receive any bonus
for signing with Rickard."
"T'here Is no enmfty between JEFF
fries and myself. Johnson and also
are on the best of terms"
''This is going to be heavyweight
fight of real championship class.
Don't look for a parlOr affair"
"JOhnsOn is another Joe Cans, only
much larger and four times as good.
The longer he fights the better he
gets"
"sOme people think that johnson
has the necessary punch to stop JEFF
fries"
'It was a hard blow to me to
the fight, but L have no bitterness
against Rfckard and Gleason. 1 hope
they do well with the fight. can't
understand now, and never shall be
able to, why they did not give me
the bout, as 1 believe my bid was
better than Rickard's."

1t will always be regretted that the

The men behind this enterprise have
the honor of inserting the entering
