bett protests against being dubbed a
trainer for Jeffries in the latter's
championship fight with Jack Johnson.

The impression seems to have spread
that / am going to turn trainer. This.
in all that the term implies, is unjust
to me.
These are the facts: 1 was in Lon
don when Jeffries jumped down from
Carlsbad and asked me how much
money l would take to train him for
the coming battle. 1 replied that there
was not enough money in circulation
for that
But / added that 1 would gladly
drop everything and go with him as a
friend. absolutely without considera-
ton, wherever he goes, for the last 80
days before his fight; that 1 would be
in his corner at the battle and that
would give him all have of advantage
toward victory.
