SHAPKEY SAYS JEFF
IS BIG BLACK BEAR
Only One Like Him in Century, and
Johnson Sure to Meet
Defeat.

New York, Dec 26.-Tom Sharkey says
it's hard matter to try to dope out a
fight seven months before the men climb
into the ring, but looking over the situa-
ton of the Battle of the Century he feels
confident that Jim Jeffries will collect the
large end OF the purse when he meets
Jack Johnson on July 4.
Now before 1 go any further" he said
today, Il want to say that am looking
at this great contest from the outside.
Ii is only natural that / should hope that
Jeffries wins the battle, if only to have
the title remain in the white man class
Many may shrek that there should be no
color line in The fighting game, but there
is and always viii be as long as We are
on this earth. This does not mean that
1 am knocking Johnson. If there was
ever a cOlOred man that was really white,
Johnson is the man. If he had been born
light instead of blackwell, there might
have been a different story. l have met
both fighters time and time again anu
want to go on record as saying that /
claim that 1 consider the pair two clever
men in the ring; and outside of the
squared circle they are men that are
worth knowing.
There is one wall that has never
stopped since Jim Jeffr1es signed up Tor
the battle. The CrOakers have chirped
without drawing a long breath, 'Jeffries
Will have to get back his wind. Inat S
the best joke l ever heard since Joe Mil
Ter stopped kidding the public. One would
think Jim Jeffries was an ordinary NOR
tai Let me tell you a thing or two. jim
Jeffries is a fighter that is produced once
in a century. He is composed of tough
| fibers incased in a bulk that is almost
unnatural.
with all respects to Jeff, he is like a
big black bear weighing a ton, full Of
ginger and aching for a fight. And they
ask: How about his wind? That is the
best joke Of the year. If he has no Irou-
bic with his wind there will be no fight.
/ Instead. the coroner will have job on
| his hands trying to find out what killed
a tall, wiry colored man. AS long as you
| asked me, I want to give the inside
| dope on this fight, and you can bet the

what he is saying. Let Jim Jeffries en-

GOOD JOCKEYS SCARCE
Winter Tracks Must Develop Good
Riders OF Else 1910 Racing
VIII Suffer.

New York, Dec. 25.-JOckeys for racing
viii be a question Of Importance next
season. as it was last, there being put
very few who can be termed anywhere
near first-Class. Unless the winter lnat-
buttons turn out some new material there
will be a scarcity of good riders.
AT present there are about -FOUR WOf~
thy Of mention-POwers, Butwens Dugan
and Archibald. Considering that at least
u first-ciass riders are needed Ina the east
20 make good and consistent racing lIe
number is too limited
There are about three others who can
be called acceptaDle-Burns, MusgraFe
and kederis-tha latter being the winter
find so far and it may be he VIII turn
cut a flrst-class jockey after this WIN
ter's experience. Beyond these seven the
possibilities are very slim.
Kederis is a rider who has elevated
himself from the coal mines 90 the sad
die. He was discovered az Seattle last
summer. While racing was i'm progress he
applied for a position in q stable and was
so quick to learn that he soon BECAME
prominent and was i'm demand. lie IS lIn-
proving every day so 1T is claimed py
those who are capable Of judging.
Archibald. who has been riding for three
or four years Is at Juarez. but was the
star rider at Oakland before leaving Tor
Mexico. He mas ridden for the last Two
seasons at Los Angeles and is capable
! Jockey. de is in about the same class
I as Butwell and hardly as good as Dusan
and Powers. He is not as tricky as Du-
gan, riding fair and square races win
out TesOrtng to articles Of the trade. de
will be quite an acquisition to the ranks
in the east next season If a contract can
/ be procured on his services.
Musgrave is a middle class rider, but
he viii no doubt do duty on the Canadian
circuit, as he is engaged by Mr.. Sea
gram, who rarely races in New York until
the Saratoga meeting begins. 1t may be
that Fain ana King viii develop some
ability during their experience at Jackson
vile. Both are lightweights and winter
viii do much for their progress.
Considering that there will be much
better horses racing around the local
tracks next season, the jockey question
| is a momentous one. as the fields viii be
larger. and bad riders on good horses
| frequently upset all form and destroy the
| chances Of their mounts.

Fitzsimmons had not appeared in the
ring in Australia since he left here for the
United States many years ago. and when
he climbed through the ropes today he
was given an enthusiastic reception. The
veteran looked TO be in splendid conGi-
ton after his long period of preparation.
The fighht opened rather tamely, Lang
showing his extreme nervousness. He
was frequently .hoOted for holding in the
cinches and frequently butting his op-
pOnent and refusing to break clean. Fitz-
simmons, on the contrary, fought Clearly
and quickly became the favOrite with the
crowd.
AS the fight progressed Lang acquired
confidence and forced the pace, but Fitz-
simmons Cleverly eVaded his rushes and
frequently landed clean blows on the face
and body, In a hot rally in the eleventh
round F1tZsimmons cut Lang's right eye
severely with a left-hand punch.
When the twelfth and last round
opened, Lang rushed FitzsimmOns
