There are not few people In the
country who believe-or at least say
thew believe-that Jim Jef3ries ana
lack Johnson never will meet tn the
ring. Prize fighting has not been
the cleanest sport in days gone ~,
and there have been so many cyl
dences of rank taking that there n
WAYS is talk of crookedness when
biz match is arranged. -
If Johnson and Jeffries do step into
the ring on July 4, out in California,
il is a safe bet that both WILL make
every effort to win. This is one match
that can be figured to be on the
square. Jeffries never would hx up q
fake with his enemy the black man
and Johnson would have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by agree"
ing to lay down to the giant boiler
maker. ~
The way in which Jeffries has gons
ahead to get himself into condition =
another argument that he means busl.
The former champion never did
like to start training. He liked 70
take things easy, but when he once
got into action it was hard to keep
him from doing too much. ..,|'
One of the first things JET did was
to have an operation performed on his
nose. The big fellows smeller han
never been right since Bob F1tzsin-
mons planted one Of his famous
smashes on the boilermakers probos-
els. A bone was fractured and Jsf-
fries found it difficult to breath. +
WAS good enough for him while he was
out of the game, but it wouldn't do
in case of battle, so he went on the
surgeons table and had it hxed.
Then he found that his right arm
was not fulfilling its part 70 he DON.
suited another specialist. A muscle
had contracted. when Jekries allowed
the arm to cool too quickly after
pitching a bali game at Los Angele4
and it had to be heightened. The
specialist said electricity would ~ II.
So JEFF let DR.. De Kraft hitch on some
wires ana shoot 4o0. 1000 volts through
his massive anatomy. Ar he Increased
the current the doctor turned to one
Of Jeffs friends and said: %
"Four hundred thousand volts"

the doctor that there were .six or
seven people In New York who were
inclined to pooh-pooh the idea OF Jsf.

Now do you think q man who had
