Any insinuations which may have
been made by Tom McCarey the Los
Angeles fight promoter, regarding the
Jeffries johnson battle and the bid
ding thereof, were effectually called
yesterday afternoon when Jack Kipper
received the above two kilograms from
Jim Jeffries. III feeling which began
years ago eliminated yesterday when
the reports reached Jeffries ears that
the unsuccessful Los Angeles promoter
purported to know more than he would
tell concerning the holding Of the
fight.
That McCarey did not and does not
believe that he received a square deal
when the bids were opened at Madi-
son Square garden, December l, is
fact Uncle Tom" has said little since
reaching the Angel city which might
lead any one to believe that the battle
would be a frame up"
If McCarey really believes that the
cards were stacked when the bidding
was done or that the fight has been
fixed" now is the time to speak. In
regard to the bidding 'McCarey will find
not hundreds but thousands who be-
lieve that he was dealt to from a
stacked deck. Those persons, how
ever. who have insinuated that the
battle would be anything but open and
above board constitute a very small
minority seeking publicity through de-
spicable means.
Mccarey Talks
81 have absolutely nothing to say
regarding the kilograms received by
Ripper" said McCarey, "other than
that ! do not believe Jim Jeffries ever
sent them l think sam Berger is
back of the whole affair. l have no
more interest in the fight than any
spectator and shall make no reply to
these statements purporting 10 come
from Jeffries. l may have been little
sore when I first got back, but that is
thing of the past"
Jack Ripper said: "Of course the
kilograms are from Jeffries, think
this will effectually stop the line of
talk which McCarey has been handing
out all over the country"
If jim Jeffries sent the kilograms he
is undoubtedly sincere in every word.
Jeffries has never been accused of
any kind of crooked dealing in any
transaction or agreement into which
he has ever entered.
THE story that the coming fight
with johnson being fixed in advance IS
not only false, but maliciously so, and
| intend TO hunt the fellow who started
it down and give him a humping" said
Jim Jeffries at the Fort Pitt hotel the
other morning, reading the Sunday
papers that there was suspicion that
the big fellows had agreed to split up
the purse, etc.
THAT is not right" continued the
big fellow. Il have never faxed the
public nor am l starting now. l am
sincere when [ say that l want to
knock Johnson's head off when we get
in the ring and am going to do It, too.
In so doing | expect to pull down the
big end of the purse. If he is the bet
ter man the big end goes to him, but
I do not like stories started about us
taking it.
The intimation is as absurd as it is
malicious" continued Jeff. johnson
Fnows that 7 hate the ground he walks
on, that 1 consider him an accident in
tue championship class and that | pur-
pose TO give him the worst beating
ever given any man in the ring. There
has been no frame up; there will ue.
none
