Corbett's Opinion Of
Johnson and JeffrieS

cent better than Jack Munroe, yet
the public fell for the Butte miner
And when Monroe fought Jen the
big fellow was at his best. Now the
conditions are different. Had john
son been Jeff's opponent the night he
fought Monroe. Jeff would have had to
put up much stiffer battle, and since
then every fight fan knows Jefr has
gone back lot
But after all Is said and done II
will be impossible to give anything
like good line on JEFF until We know
what kind OF condition he will be able
to get into.
AS to whether johnson VIII fight
JEFF OF not, there is no question In my
mind. l believe that Johnson feels as
confident as any man ever did that he
Is Jeff's master. For several years
his friends have been filling his head
with the rot that jeff was afraid or
him. And Johnson is not different
from any of his race. They are a
self-admiring people, and when an ig-
norant colored man or fairly we'll
educated person like Johnson once
gets the hunch that he Is the master
of an enemy, ii seems annihllation on
one side or the other.
do not believe johnson expected
JEFF to accept proposition from him
at any near date. The offer to meet
the big bollermaker in a battle in
New York or an unlimited affair on
the coast, was simply piece OF ad-
vertising, Johnson realizes that II
he wishes to he received in America
as champion he will have to declare
himself above everything else willing
to meet anyone
Jeft could not accept terms for a
year at least And Johnson knows It,
But in America Johnson realizes that
1t is lot different than in a foreign
country. He has to keep his press
agent busy to remain In the public
eye, No better dope could be sent
out by him than that he was willing
to meet Jeff at any time. especially
before he goes to Europe for an ex-
tended foreign engagement with the
question settled that Johnson is WILL
Ing to meet Jeffries, l Will now com
pare him as a fighter TO Peter jackson.
L have always thought Peter Jack
son was ono of the worlds greatest
lighters. He had all the attributes or
pugilist from footwork to Judgment
OF distance and a punch in either
hand. He contrasted with Johnson in
the point of cleverness. Peter Jack
son was machine in the ring IN
many respects. Such can not be said
OF Johnson. The latter, however, pos
sesses a way OF handling himself that
Is almost as effective as extreme clev-
erness. He Is very awkward In many
OF his movements, but II is his awk-
wardness that fools his opponent
Jackson had a much better left hand
than Johnson and he used It to great
advantage. I'll never forget how hard
found 1t to stay away from. He

Gotch Defeats Rouen in
Three Straight Falls by
Toe Hold

Kansas City, March 25.-Frank
Gotch of Iowa. champion wrestler of
the world. tonight regaIned his title
by defeating Raoul De Douen in three
straight falls. The winning all was
Won by the toe hold. The Frenchman
allowed his shoulders to be put TO the
mat almost without an effort. DE
Rouen was repeatedly cheered for his
gameness With the exception OF a
few minutes, when the men were on
their feet. Gotch was always the ag-
gressor, The champion was never In
serious trouble. He really won the
bout in the first fall. when he SO
weakened his opponent with the toe
hold that De Rouen did not care TO
repeat the experience In the second
fall. The time Of the falls was "a 40
and 13 minutes fiat respectively.
The winners end of the purse was
$4,000.
Both contestants were In excellent
condition. Gotch, who weighed ~
poundse was a 10 to 9 favorite. though
De Rouen was 40 pounds heavier.
AS they entered the arena the
Frenchman appeared nervous. The
gong sounded at g. 30 De Rouen was
the aggressor, while Gotch seemed to
take 1t easy. They went to the mat
at 9:37, Gotch throwing De Kouen
with leg hold.
From the moment they struck the
floor Gotch kept the crowd on It's feet
Gotch tried for the toe hold. De
Rouen several times tried TO strike
Gotch in the face with his elbow. In
the struggle both men got on their
feet. Gotch in few minutes again
secured leg hold on his opponent and
brought him to the mat. Gotch Sc
cured toe hold on the Frenchman.
whose face showed extreme agony.
He struck Gotch feebly with his ell
bow, but soon lay still with his chest
heaying. He slowly rolled over, but
finally broke the hold by bridging and
rolling clear over.
Gotch then secured a bar-ock and
only supreme effort saved the
Frenchman. who made no effort TO
take the offensive Referee Porteous
brought the men to the center of the
ring After a few minutes sparring
Gotch secured hammer-lock DE
Rouen bridged against and broke 1t.
The Frenchma regained his feet and
Gotch pushed him backward over the
ropes.
In the ring again. Gotch, for the
third time. threw De Rouen with leg
hold and in a moment secured a full

mat In 34:45,
When the men re-entered the ring

caution. After eight minutes spar

Twice the men rolled through the

What chance would Johnson have

io Jack Johnson as great a fighter as
Peter jackson was in his best daysY
Since Johnson's arrival In this coun-
try have had these questions put TO
me so often that / am going to give
my views on them to the public
through tho news columns.
To start with, II Jeff was as good
as he was when he fought me the sec
ond time he would certainly beat John
son. But JEFF isn't, and he knows 1t
better than the public does. met
him on the coast during my theatrical
tour and / got In pretty close touch
with him.
He said then, as he says now. that
he will fight Johnson il he can get
Into condition. But that he does not
really know himself is fact. Often
] have heard fans say that he knows
but he doesn't want to say what his
plans are. This is not so. The poor
est fight fan knows about as much
about what JEFF is going to do as the
big fellow knows himself. In View
OF this condition, Johnson right now
must be given credit for being at least
good enough for the worlds champion
ship class.
Johnson. until he whipped Tommy
Burns, was like ship tossed at sea.
He belonged no place and little atten-
ton was paid to him. To have class
ed then with JEFF would have been an
indication of mental trouble. But now
that he has whipped Burns and none
of the other active white heavy
weights look to be In his class his
right to be classed with JEFF should not
be questioned. Johnson is 500 per
