How do you want TO divide the
purse. old kid?" asked Little og
Johnson.

good enough"
How about that Jem?" asked
Berger
The retired champion cleared his
throat and made his first long speech
of the afternoon.
JEFF SAYS WINNER TAKE ALL
There's been a lot of talk about
this splitting of the purse" said he.
You said in Chicago that you want
ed TO fight winner take all. seventy
five and twenty-five, or sixty and
forty. You said, too, that you
wanted TO bet me $4,000 on the
side. The way / want TO fight is
winner take all, and / want that
side bet OF twenty thousand"
This declaration drew a cheer from
the crowd. Johnson hesitated for a
few seconds.
III fight, winner take ALL" he
adlu, bul 4 uOn want that side
bet. Let's bet the $1,000 we al
ready have posted Is that agree
able, Mr.. Jeffries?"
Jeff then took time TO get his
mighty brain into action, and, after
some time remarked:
I'D like to get that twenty thou
sand" said he grinning.
Yes, and / don't want you to get
that twenty thousand, MIR. Jeffriesi'
said Johnson, showing his teeth.
I'll fight you any way you say. -
said Johnson, winner take ALL"

VIII Fight for
Championship.
Jeff and Johnson Quickly Sign Up
For Battle.
C. f. Van Loan.

without a serious argument or
one black look, without the custo-
mary stage abuse and the time hon
ored threats, Jim Jeffries and Jack
johnson met yesterday afternoon at
the Hotel Albany, in New York City,
and came to a peaceable agreement
60 fight forty-five rounds or more
for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
There were only two bitches in
the course of the afternoons de-
bate. The first one, which amount
ed TO nothing whatever, took up
more time than the second, which
was vital and important. Sammy
Berger, jealousy guarding the in
terests OF his principal. insisted on
placing Jeffries' name first in the
articles. Little. Johnson's manager,
would not agree to this, and there
was deadlock for several minutes
while the great men squabbled.
The second hitch came when the

With Black Champion.

BY Igoe.

The actual signing Of the articles
between the champions was devoid
of any show of friendship on the
part or either man. Jeffries and
Johnson played to a small house
when they put their signatures to
the articles after they had been
typewritten. Bob Murphy, OF the
Albany, ushered both fighters into
his private Office when everybody
had departed. Jeff ignored John
son as much as he had at the con-
ference upstairs. Johnson was will
Ing to go half way with Jeff. and
told some of his friends that he was
even willing to pop bottle with
the Los Angeles farmer. When Jefr
came In to attach his big, rolling

he stalked past Johnson with never
a show OF recognition. He signed
the real set and then consented 10

long narrow room on the second
floor had been set apart for the
meeting and the crowd was on hand
early. tanning around the table,
upon which there was enough paper
TO carry the draft OF the new city
charter and enough ink TO write a
three-voIume novel.
Jeffries shouldered his way TO the
front at sos, preceded by the
faithful but nervous Berger. John
son arrived at 3:15. The principals
did not speak. Jem sat at one end
of the table and rubbed his chin.
Johnson grinned and took the other
end The hashlighters fashlighted
TO their hearts content and filled
the room with SMOKE. which gave
Johnson chance to make an afro

and collected, the momentous pro-

the occasion, had been looking upon
