TWO GREAT FIGHTING
MEN MEET ON JULY 4

first of these was Bob Armstrong
tcolored), and JEFF damaged his
hand against the big black to such an
, extent that he could not meet Steve
O'Donnell, the other man. much 10
the delight of O'Donnelrs friends.
During this time Bob Fitzimmnns
was retaining the championship
against all Corners. A match was
made between Jeff and Bob at Coney
Island, 1899. 1t was looked upon as
a joke, as the man who had gath
cred Jim Corbett's scalp in decisive
! style was thought to be able to play
with the big green hand, Jeffries
! FitZsimmons did play with him-for
nine rounds. If there was any part
of Jen's head that he did not hit ct
! win. nobody at the ringSde could
| locate the place. But in the tenth
Fitz tired. and in the eleventh. after
going down twice he was unable to
get up a third time, and Jim JEFF
| fries was champion of the world.
Five months later Jeffries met Tom
Sharl<ey again in Il twenty-five round
! fight at Coney Island. Jeff got a de-
cision over the sailor, but he de-
clares that Sharkey is the earnest man
who ever entered the ring.
Corbett, by this time, was eager to
get a match with his former sparrins
partner. The fight was arranged
and for twenty rounds Jeffries took
"A terrific amount of punishment. He
: utterly failed to reach Corbett with
his gloves, although Corhett battered
him around SO freely that the big
| fellow looked foolish. Jeff's seconds
| pion beyond doubt unless he did
some thing. and Jeff went out to do il
| in the next round He tore after
| Corbett, minding the storm of blows
| that met him no more than he would
mind 50 many raindrops. His left
reached Corbett's mid-section in tbs
twenty-third round, and moment
| later his right ended the fight with q
short jolt to the law.
Jef's next fight of any importance
was with his old opponent Rubin
After five rounds Rubin quit. jeff
had learned too much for Rubin be
tween their meetings
