dropped in last night and Sam lost no

from Chicago informing me that John
son was there in a mood which evil
IDENTIFY meant that Johnson wasn't so
strong in his belief that Jim was really
going to meet him.
II will hop out to Chicago Wednes-
day or Thursday and I will pin Mr..
Johnson to some understanding JEFF
fries has been given the worst of 1t
by this fellow, and we don't propose
to stand for any more of it. I will
make every fair attempt to arrange
final terms.
Such little matters as money, purse.
side bets and all that should be very
easy as jeff is prepared to let john
son have much of his own way in the
matter. Why, he may not even force
the $4,000 side bet for that matter, If
Johnson fears to meet him along those
lines. The thing that keeps promoters
from bidding for the match is the air
of uncertainty that surrounds the pres
ent state of affairs.
Once 1 see Johnson, and I intend to
head him off before he leaves for Cali
fornia, I will prove to the public that
1t is Johnson and not Jeffries who is
holding UP this thing. He means bust
ness and we viii now take the initia-
tive and go see Mr.. Johnson. He has
been promising to come to US for so
long that we have come to the con-
clusion that he does not want a fight
with JEFF. We will stand for the num-
bling part of the thing and meet Mr..
Johnson in Chicago Wednesday or
