James J. Jeffries.

in. Three mighty blows put Ketchel
out and the fight was over.
low the question is: viii Jim JEFF
fries try to reach Johnsons mastoid
process wnen the alfalfa king and the
former cotton bale hustler meet, as
they seem certain to do? Physicians
say negro fighters are easy to whip if
a good blow lands on the mastoid pro-
cess, the bump behir the ear Know
ing that Johnson is weak in that Sec
ton, the mighty James, who had to
quit the ring because there was none
good enough to give him decent bat
tie, and is only returning to the
squared circle because a negro holds
the championship, may be seen trying
to plant his right on the mastoid pro-
cess. If he does-well, let's wait and
see what does happen.
Johnson showed in the battle with
Ketchel that no middleweight has any
chance to whip him, although there
are some who believe Sam Langford,
the black demon from Boston, could
turn the trick. However, strictly
speaking, Langtord is not middle
weight and could hardly make the
weight and be strong enough to put
UP a good battle.
So it's up to Jeffries. The giant
boiler-maker has returned from Eu-
rope and reports say he is in better
condition than he has enjoyed in
years. johnson has stage fever again
and if the two men come together il
is not likely that they will fight before
February. offers of all kinds of purses
have been made but it is likely that
Jimmy Coffroths Colma ring will be
the scene of the battle.
Corbett says Jeffries will win. II
is a fact that about seven-tenths OF
the predictions by former champions
concerning the probable outcome OF
a big battle go wrong. Will it be the
case with the Jeffries-Johnson scrap:
Time will tell.

BABE" ADAMS TELLS HOW
HE BEAT THE TIGERS
Pittsburg Pitcher Who Won Three
Championship Games Says Slow
Ball Did 1t.

Charles (Babe) Adams, explaining
how he defeated Detroit three times
in the worlds series, said:
my success in pitching can be at
tributed to the slow drop ball. l dis
covered in the first game that Detroit
could not hit this kind of ball to any
extent. When they would connect it
would be short hit to the infeld
and Pittsburg has an infield which
can take care of such hits.
The slow drop | alternated, first
out and then in. 1t went to the out
side of the plate, beyond the reach of
The batter, but, if the batsman was
within hitting distance the ball was
low and it's slowness caused a false
estimate of the strength required
from the batter. In such quick feat
as batting a false estimate is dam
gerous thing for the batting side The
ball which went inside the plate and
dropped at the same time was the
most effective 1 used. Detroit could
do nothing with that at ALL
"But l did not overwork the drop
lack control Gibson sized up the bat
tiers and we knew when it was safe
to put them straight over the plate
Detroit has good batting aggrega-
ton and it was necessary to take
every precaution with them. The
Tigers rallies in several games dem
onstrated this. To lose control during
one of these rallies would have meant
the loss of the game. The most try
ing. times while l was pitching was
when Detroit showed one of those IA
nous spurts of strength at bat. l
worked harder than ever and was for
tunate enough to hold control The
balls that went straight over the plate
were generally hit by Detroit. Occa-
sionally one was walloped to good eff
feet, but in the main we knew when
there was to be hit and the infield
and outfeld acted accordingly"
