approaching contest with Jeffries.
Asked as to whather he was perfect

IF Jeff should happen to take any
body on between now and the date of
his fight with me and is beaten, the
big fight will be off as far as I'm con-
ticks him instead
johnson expressed the opinion that
Jeff was "all tagged out and looked
that way, too" He talked freely on
the Sam Langford matter, but made no
to show that he regarded
Sans fight talk as anything other than

magazine devoted to boxing advertised
itself by sending a dray, on which a
ring had been constructed, about the

were admitted to the ring and three

brethren. AS to attendance figures. in
