1 WILL FIGHT JOHNSON,
DECLARES jim JEFFERIES

James ]. Jeffries will fight Jack
Johnson for the heavy weight cham
pionship of the world. This was made
certain last night when the retired
champion, who is due in Chicago today
stated at Omaha that he would return
to the ring when he has finished his
theatrical work and try to win from
Johnson the title which he wrested
from Bob Fitzsimmons in their mem
orable fight at Coney Island.
Jeffries last night declared to Sandy
Griswold the Omaha sporting writer:
Il will arrange to meet Johnson as
soon as my twenty weeks engagement
is over. I feel obligated to the sport
ing public to at least make an effort
to reclaim the heavy weight champion
ship of the white race. / was through
with the fighting game until Johnson
butted into first place. but so long as
have never been defeated 1 think it
no more than right that 1 should step
into the ring again and demonstrate
that a white man is king of them all"
In connection with Jeffries state
ment in Omaha which long has been
expected by those in close touch with
the retired champion, again crops out
the story that Jeffries is financially en-
barrassed and will fight not only be-
cause he thinks he can whip Johnson

SLAP AT FOOTBALL
Goodwin Smith Writes of
the Game.

Ithaca, n. Y, March 1.-Declaring
that in the case of university men
muscle does not count for much in life,
and that energy spent in football can
not be recalled Goodwin Smith in,
short letter to the Cornell Era. tells of
his ideal in athletics. The letter fol-
lows:
Il see that the number of athletes
failing to pass a university examina-
ton is less than it was. The shade of
Ezra Cornell will rejoice. What our
founder wanted was, not show of mus
Gle, but preparation for life, IN which,
in the case of university men, muscle
does not count for much. The force
spent in football cannot be recalled for
study.
Let US have games by all means, but
games which exercise. not exhaust, and
in which all alike can take part. Be
sides, there is military drill, good in
itself which is not to be neglected if
the force of the country is to be kept
in right hands. Into universities the
betting ring seems to have crept; new
er, hope, into ours"

This really great blood purifier alb

enormous number of patients who had

Toronto, Ont, Feb. 2S.-Frank Gotch.
the worlds champion wrestler, today
signed articles of agreement to wrestle
Yousiff Mahmout, the Terrible Turk
The bout will take place on April IA
under the auspices Of the Empire Ath-
letie club of Chicago.
Last night Gotch closed a weeks en-
gagement at a local theater. He will
work this week at Buffalo theater,
and next week at Detroit. He gave
the company two weeks notice and will
therefore quit at Detroit after which
he announces he will at once go into
training.
An export would not pick Gotch as
an athlete that needs training. for the
big fellow looks the picture of health
and is already in condition. The local
wrestIers who essayed and failed to
stay fifteen minutes with Gotch during
the local engagement win attest to
that.
The Mahmout match was quickly
made. Jack Curley, the representative
of the Empire club. arrived here at 9
o'clock At 1890 Gotch, his partner
Emile Klank, and Curley met at the
King Edward hotel and Curley imme-
diately submitted a set of articles al

Indiana Harbor, March 1. The
crack bowling team of the Chicago Of
fee of the Inland Steel company came
out to Indiana Harbor Saturday to give
their suburban brother employees of the
same company a touch of high life and
incidently a few instructions in the
strenuous art of bowling. How well
they succeeded in the first part of their
undertaking must be a matter of con-
lecture as the locals are not admit
ting anything, but as far as the bowl
ing is concerned the Harbor bunch
make claims which the Chicagoans
might dispute. According to Jack
Spellacy, the score at the end of the
afternoon was also to 1923 in favor of
Indiana Harbor. From the same source
it was ascertained that 102 was the
high average for the visitors, made by
Mr. Truesdale, while he modestly ad-
mitted that he himself was the high
card on his own side, with only 2S7,
which he said was about three pins be-
lew his normal average. In justice
to Mr.. Spellacy it can be said that he
persistently kept his eyes averted while

Who Are the
State Champs

Says Heze Clark the Indianapolis
Stars sporting authority:
The critics are figuring the all
state teams but none so far has ap-
peared
The high school basketball situa-
ito mis- still far from settled. Marion,
last years champions, has not been de-
feated. Charlottesville high school,
which so long held the undisputed title
of high school champions of the state,
until Marion defeated them again is
in the field with strong claims for state
honors and a strong team to back them
up.
Lebanon has a team that will COM
pare very fayorably with Crawfords-
vile, and when these two teams meet
ar Lebanon March it will be one of
the most important basketball games
played this year among the high
schools of the state On comparativ
scores it is tossup who will win.
Lebanon also has another impor-
tant game March IL when it will play
Thorntown high school. The latter
team lost to Lebanon by one point
some time ago and the Lebanon team
will fin dthem hard opponents the next
time the two fives get together. Both
Lebanon and Charlottesville put Ham
mond, the crack five from northwestern
Indiana out of commission by one
sided scores. Rochester high school
also was put clear out of the cham
pionship race by Lebanon.
This, therefore narrows the state
high school championship race down to
four teams: Marion, Charlottesville
Lebanon and Thorntown. The first
| two see INTO have a slight shade on the
others, but basketball may turn out
any way but the way it is expected
it will, and in that case either Lebanon
or Thorntown has chance"

it is said his ring savings have been
slowly but surely altering away. One

with Jim, is credited with saying that

for his battle with Johnson and pre-
pare for the real struggle.
Jeffries' announcement will be hailed
with delight by ring fans all. over the
country. Everywhere for weeks, in
fact. ever since Johnson handed Tommy
Burns that beating in Australia last
December, there has bee nan inces-

down the blazing torch of defiance to
Jeffries as follows:
Friends of mine in New York are
ready to back Kaufman against JET
fries for $4,000 and have posted a
forfeit of 81 900 cash in the hands of
Al Smith. the veteran stakeholder Of
that city.
Kaufman will not meet Jack John
son at present; the big negro viii keep.
Al does want to fight Jeffries. though.
Johnson will soon be in this country
crowding Jefries and the only way
Jim can avoid meeting him is TO take
on Kaufman or else admit that he, JEFF
fries, is a dead one.
Kaufman and Jenrieg battling for
stake of $4,000 would be a great
card. As an inducement for Jeffries
to meet AL We will agree to fight him
in his own town before his own club.

plored the fact that Mr.. e. ]. Block.
who rolled with the home team, was
low man of the day, with only 7s, but
they also said that was doing pretty
well for the boss. Messrs. Campbell,
Rutledge, and Darling also distin-
guished themselves by some brilliant
work, but this fact was not discovered
until they were interviewed separately
after the game. There was one point.
however, that they all agreed on, that
was that Br. Block was low man. The
lineup was as follows:

Campbell, Rutledge and Darling.

KELLY GETS CHANCE
Italian Promised Another

Hugo Kelly and Stanley Ketchel are
practically matched. The local Italian
returned from his eastern trip yester-
day and has already received an offer
from Jimmy Coffroth for a bout with
Stanley Ketchel in April of May for
the middle-weight title. Communica-
lions with Willis Britt. manager Of
Ketchel. resulted in receiving a dis
patch that his man would meet Kelly
This is something Of a change in
Ketchels attitude. as only recently he
said that he did not care to box Hugo.
There is some big money in sight, how
ever. as Coffroth's terms are said to be
liberal Kelly will not box again until
the bout unless some large purse is
offered for other engagements.
