BY Ed. w. SMITH.

CHICAGO, Dec lS-Not satisfied
With the large returns that American
sport lovers are making possible IN
his Golfers. James j. Jeffries has
achieved an ambition To make
worlds tour that will eclipse in its
trlumphantness and financial returns
any ever undertaken by a single ath-
lete with supporting company.
IL Jeffries whips Johnson-if only
he can he and Frank Gotch intend
10 double up once more In much the
same manner they are now associated
with their athletic combination. and
start out on complete tour OF thS
globe, one that will be so thorough IA
10 take In every civilized nation and
spot on the map.
This scheme was conceived and then
discussed fully one night AZ Columbus,
when the combination was filling a
date there.
Gotch. IL is said. was the frst one to
mention IL, and pointed out 10 Jeffries,
with whom he has become very friend
~ since their joint engagement with
the FraZee junket. the vast possthih-
ties OF such scheme.
Suggestion Makes a Hit.
Jeffries and his friends Immediately
fell IN with the suggestion and with
out further ado maps were obtained
and An actual route, with the date OF
starting and all the rest OF IL, Were
discussed freely. Before the party
broke up and went 10 bed Jeffries and
Gotch had agreed that In the event OF
Jeffries being returned the winner
over Johnson upon the 4th or 9Th or
next July they would take up the plan
and 20 through with il. The idea IL
10 get UP considerable company OF
stellar athletes and perhaps some aero
bats or trick cyclists. as Is now the
case. and make the tour. IL Is figured
that the party would be gone at least
one year. as at least three months

Australia alone. Jeffries and Gotten
