UP my mind that l could beat ,Jedds
l saw the lattcr's night with Bon Fiji
simmons in San Francisco. and ! sasl
the way Bob did the first six rouTS,
will predict right now that ;hc Grii
will not go over fifteen rounds WI
Jcifries could not land on Bob and n,
latter gave the champion an unmercII
boating. People do not give ME crcjs
am II humane fighter and do not 60 a
to kill my opponent ] only tested .,
hitting powers once. and since then ha5s
never feared any man, Jeffries has u.
name OF never having been knocked dow
in the ring. Those houors worc rese-7s
for your humble servant and am cV..,
to do the honnrs when the time cons
] am just as confident Of whipping Jsr-
ries as l was that l could defeat TomrJ
Burns.
Say, do you remember before u
fight with Burns that people had me Quit
ting and that Tommy would make :.
| Jump out OF the ring? We'll. when q.
| tered the ring with Burns I invited ha
to do his best, and he Immediately q.
sore He rushed at me like a wild boar
and ] fioored him with the first punt4
| He was careful after that, although ,:
appeared anxious.
II hope that Jeffries comes al me l,i
! tries 10 make me jump out ot the ia1
The sports win see some fun then
