one of the laps he had lost during the

forth a tremendous roar of approval from
the throng. Ten minutes later he made
another try. but this time lacked suffi-

Of recognized ability and integrity to act

Jeff will not stall, not even for four
or six rounds, for he knows that the

if Jeffries rushes in at the start he is
going to take desperate chances. because
Johnson likes to fight that way and will
look for an opening for that right hand
uppercut. There is too much at stake
for the men to agree To fake the first
half dozen rounds. Suppose one of them
double crossed the other? Then suppose
they did fake and the newspapers pub
l.shed the fact. how much would the pie
lures be worth? There's ii whole lot of
talk about the pictures. but III the end
you'll find that they will not cut MUCH
of a figure. The fight will be on the
level and I think that Jeffries intends to
win quickly as possible.
If. as Coffroth says. Jeffries isn't sure
whether he can so ten rounds or not. it
is self-evdent that he has made a serious
error in agreeing not to fight any man
before he meets Johnson. That appears
more evident day by day to experts who
spend their time discussing the mill. 1t
is said that Jeffries.. before the final ar
ticles We're signed. had made up his mind
To fight kubiak and several other big
fellows just as test, but that he had to
give in to the demands Of Johnson and

tests out. Johnson III this connection Is
said to have played a trump card. BY
clinching this agreement he avoided Il
dangerous challenger in Sam Langford.
and also sewed Jefflies up so that the
latter will have To depend wholly upon
ordinary training methods to hit himself.
Jeffs friends, realizing that he has been
placed at disadvantage. say that he
may hire several big men To indulge in
private fights with him in California so
that he can gain more actual ring eN-

Did you see that dope those jays
showed across about the Plymouth
Rock and Rhode Island Red chick
ems. Wasn't itenuf to knock you.
off the roost.
The original fowl which ali do.
mesticated chickens have sprung,
from is the little Black Breasted
Game cock called the Gallus Bankiya
or wild Jungle Fowl. That was
the kind Of chicken the Omnipo-g
tent breeder handed to Adam and
Eve to stock up their poultry
yards with. Since then those
fowls have been bred more care
fully perhaps than any other var
iety which may have sprung from
their injudicious breeding and
their ancestry may be traced down
the long flight Of years thru the
hands of great men of all times up
to the present, and in our own
country we have found such men
as Washington, Cleveland, Admiral
Sampson and many others who
have been interested in the per-
petuation Of those fowls and at
the present time it may beviolat-
ing no confidence to mention the.
names Of Robley Evans and Homer
Davenport.
And until some bloke made a

If Christ came to Washington a
cock pit was maintained in the

government buildings at Washing

then Mr.. Roosevelt, in the inter-
est Of morality has expended few
millions of the peoples money in
an endeavor to discover how and
where the sporting blood of the
nations representatives is being
gratified.
And the present direct descend
ent Of the wild Jungle Fowl is the
Black Breasted Red pit game fowl;
an outlaw, noted for nothing but
their indomitable courage.
AS a matter of fact, as a general
utility fowl they probably have
no equal, but the Characteristic in.
tegrity Of their breeders disqualify
them for entering into an argu-
ment with such breeders as Thornt
Babcock and George Dixon upon
the merits Of their respective vari-
/ cites of fowls and the public are
4 allowed to be encouraged to take
lup the breeding of those fowls in
hopes Of great financial gain and
