Jack Johnson gave out the follow
ing statement, as to how he will win
from James j. Jeffries:
do | think | can stop Jeffries be-
fore the limit? Yes, most certainly
yes, but please don't let the impress
sion get around that think have an
easy mark to fight in Jeffrios. ex-
pect hard battle and expect to get
some Furnishing blows, but | will be
returned the winner.
How He Will Beat Jeff.
Il may not hit as hard all tine time
as Fitzsimmons used to when he was
at his best" continued Johnson, but
| will hit Jeffries oftener and now and
then | viii jar him with just as much
force as any of the big fellows ever
did.
you all know that / hit harder than
Corbett ever did and / am just as
fast. He made Jeffries look like an
amateur for % rounds, and then JEFF
fries landed a lucky punch I'm the 23rd
session that ended the battle.
"Jeffries win never hand me one of
those. Hell think the entire audience
is hitting him at one and the same
time. While ! ann worrying JEFF with
then, III slip one over, the kind /
handed Ketchel No man can stand UP
long under such punishment. I've got
a right uppercut which | slipped to
Burns and introduced To Ketchel that
viii kill an OK il it is landed squarely,
They don't get away from ii either.
Every man knows that all the fight
ers of the old school pecked Jeffries
TO pieces, but they couldn't put him
away. Fitzsimmons tried to hit too
hard The result was that he broke
both hands. l know how hard I can
hit without injuring my hands. I'll
just keep putting them over right and
left until I get the former champion
in the right spot, and then the finish.
Another corbett- Sullivan Bout.
Everybody knows how Corbett
whipped John l.. Sullivan. Was there
ever a greater surprise of the prize
ring? The world didn't believe the
man ever walked in shoe leather who
could stand up and wear down the
great John l.. But Corbett did it. He
just made the old champion of so
many years look like a novice. IT
sounds like braggadocio for me to
talk that way, but that's the way I'm
going to whip Jeffries if he ever steps
into the ring with me.
81 ann glad Jefrries thinks wen
enough of the pictures of my recent
go with Ketchel 20 buy seats for
every night. Probably his idea is to
study my style of battle. That will
do him about as much good as 1t
would to interview Hetty Green about
me. Probably no big fighter ever
fought two men the same way.
Certainly will not meet Jeffries

Il would rather fill my purse

clutch it with a miser's hand
until the harp strings of youth
are broken and all its muscles
forever dead; I would rather
spend my last nickel for a bag of
striped marbles to gladden. the
hearts of my barefoot boys than
to deny them their childish pleas
ures, and leave them q bag of
gold to quarrel over when l am
dead. | abhor the pitiless hawk
that circles the air only to swoop
down and destroy the song of the
linnet or bury its talons in the
heart of the dove. l despise the
man whose greed Of gold
impels him to strangle the laugh
ter and song in his own family.
