JEFF WILL WHIP JACK; he WILL
make HIM LEAD the FIGHTING
BY SAMUEL BERGER
Manager and Backer of James ].
Jeffries. Written especially for

Manager and Backer OF James ].
Jeffries. Written especially for
the Times.
The public is wondering wheth-
er Jeffries can regain his old
form.
The question of the coming
fight hinges on that point. If
Jeffries can become his old self
there Is no question of how the
fight will result. So, in the first
place, let me sa ythat we are
sure that Jeffries can develop
himself into even a stronger and
faster man than he was before.
Jeffries has done a thing which
no fighter in the history of the
ring has ever dared to attempt.
Ever since We left California, nine
months ago, Jeffries has lived like
a priest. He has denied himself
everything and has followed every
last health rule. 1t has been the
most rigorous treatment a fighter
has ever put himself through.
Understand me, this does not
mean training. The training is
yet to come. This is only devel-
oping health as a foundation for
the work of training. Let us sup
pose that the fight will not take
place until July 4. That will add
seven months to this priest-Eke
living. Jeffries will finish off
with 80 days OF hard training.
The perfect health will be there
as the foundation and we will
have the old Jeffries.
1 cannot understand why so
many people doubt Jeffries' abil-
ity to come back" He's only "a
years old. Fitzsimmons didn't
begin to fight until he was 25
years old and he was in his prime
at 40. AS a piece of manhood
Jeffries outdoes Fitzsimmons at
every point. And he has live1
the life of an angel compared with
Ftzsimmons.
Let us admit, then, that JEFF
fries can regain his old time
form. Having done this, what
can we expect of him in the ring?
Here he is weighing perhaps 220
pounds. He is so fast that he is
able to run 100 yards in II sec
onds. Here you have the fastest
big man that ever entered the
ring.
How will Jeffries defeat john
son, granting all this?
1t is very simple. Jeffries will
make Johnson lead. No one has
ever been able to do this to the
negro before. Always Johnson

WORKING UP
FIGHT GAME

The prize fight game is gradu-
ally being worked up in Tacoma,
the promoters going a little far
Their with each contest to get the
public used to 1t so there will be
no opposition by the authorities.
The next meet will be held Tues
day night at Eagles hall when
Roscoe Taylor and Billy Speck
will fight.
Six rounds is laid out for these
fighters and each is going in to
knock out the other fellow If pos
sible.
As a preliminary to the main
event there will be fights between
Dick Forey and Kid Watkias,
Harry Browner and Frank Kelly,
James Gardner and Jack Goodwin
and Tommy Forbes and Martin
Fisher. each booked for four
rounds.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-11-05

has fought with a weaker or
man. The result has been
that he has not had to force the
fighting, or lead. It's one of
Johnson's tricks to lay back and
let the other fellow wear himself
out. But Jeffries is so strong
and powerful and his reach so
long that Johnson will have to
lead.
Jeffries' footwork will be so
fast that johnson will have to
lead even more. The more at
tention a man in a fight pays to
leading the less care he can give
to his guard. So the odds will
be against the negro. With all
of Johnson's leading he will be
sure to give Jeffries many chances
to land and really all that JEFF
fries needs Is just one good fair
chance. It will be a knockout
fight and do not anticipate that
it will go over 20 rounds.
Jeffries will stay in New York
until December 1, when he will
receive the bids and sign the final
articles. After that he will prob
ably return to California, there to
follow about the simplest life a
man ever led. He will live every
minute by the clock and by rule
until fight day.
1t must be understood that
Jeffries is going into this fight to
meet the demands of the public.
For a number of reasons the fight
will be distasteful to him. But
the public said FIGHT" and he
WILL. He knows that his champ
ionship claims are clearcut, but
he wants the public to regard
them in the same light.

l ABERDEEN, Nov. 5.-It is es-
timated that there are at least
ten million large logs at the i'm
mense jam which has formed east
of the Northern Pacific bridge,
extending for a quarter of a mile
toward Cosmopolis and which
forms a blockade to water trans
portation.
One may cross the river on the
logs. SO closely are they packed.
Owners of the logs now believe
that the greater part of them can
be saved.
The new Union Pacific railway
will be a considerable loser by
the destruction of false work
along it's line. False work of sew
eral bridges has been carried out
and considerable damage done to
the tracks.

Publicity Agent viii Leave WaIIa
WaIla and Accept Position on
Staff of Big Fair-Then Will
Go to Portland.

Publicity Agent W. G. Souther who
has been in charge of the publicity de-
partment of the Commercial club for
the past two months, expects to leave
Saturday for Portland, where he will
remain for a short time before going
to Seattle, in which city he will remain
until after the A.-Y.-P. exposition. Mr..
Souther will probably accept a posi-
ton on the publicity staff of the big
fair but expects to make his perma-
nent home in Portland.
The announcement, published some
time ago to the effect that Mr.. Souther
had resigned his position as the head
of the publicity department of the
Commercial club, was secuted in GER
tain quarters, the contradictory re-
connected with the organization. How
ever, Mr.. Souther, himself, verified the
story of his severed connection with
the publicity department, and he ex-
poets to leave May 1.
Just who will succeed Mr.. Souther
is not yet known, but the question will
probably be considered at the regular
weekly meeting of the board of trus-
tees tomorrow afternoon. Several APP
plications have been received, and the

contestants will have the same oppor-
tunity for ballots and that one coupon
means the same to one as to the other.
1t is this that makes the contest, not
the number of votes each ballot counts,
unless it be to strike the fancy with
the sound of the number into the mil
lions, which will not represent any
more work than a number down in the
thousands obtained on a low ballot
count scale.
That probable winner. Who then
do you think will be the winner of the
contest? At this time no contestant
should have a thought other than that
she will be winner. 1t is not good
for your ability that you believe your
opponent the winner of the prize for
which you yourself are striving. 1t
does not net you that amount of
energy and hope which you wish to
utilize in ballot getting and which you
must have if you are the winner. or
course the winner is unknown. And
the winner is as unknown to the
Evening Statesman as to any one of
the contestants. 1t is the girl who has
the most success in the field and who
brings in the largest number Of votes.
But her identity will be hidden until
the last counting of the ballots.
Now is the time girls to get your
start, twhile the contest is young. Call
today and get instructions from the

the better and faster will your votes
