miles south Of Daytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by

smooth as floor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state

Jeff or Johnson?

and often. BY this method he might
land one of his terrific rib smashers
and put the negro out, but II the battle
is prolonged Jeff's chances of winning
will go glimmering.
When he runs up against johnson
the white man viii find that the negro,
heavier and stronger than Corbett,
Fitzsimmons or Sharkey, is one of
the most scientific men he has ever
tackled. If Johnson takes his time he
will wear JEFF down, for he possesses
a-wonderful defense and is never in a
hurry. As johnson is not a rusher
and wastes very few punches, how can
Jeffries, with the old lack of agrees
siveness, stop him quickly? If tho
fight goes more than twelve rounds
Johnson will stand off and cut JEFF to
pieces with his long left, and if JEFF
comes boring in to close quarters the
negro will wallop him with the same
terrific blow that put Ketchel out.
Johnson is the biggest man physical
~ Jeffries has ever met and the clev-
crest. He is not an aggressive slugger
who rushes in to finish a man in the
first round; but, on the contrary, he is
cool headed, crafty. patient boxer.
with a phenomenal defense and a
hard wallop in either hand when the
proper opening is offered.
johnson is not a believer in taking
chances. He is strictly a waiter. He
never hits from the shoulder unless he
sees a vulnerable spot unprotected. He

latter has naturally lost power. No
doubt JEFF has trained hard for the
mill and is able to wrestle for an hour
with his helper, still he has done very
little boxing, one of the most important
things for a man like JEFF who has
been so long out of the game. He may
still have the punch and strength, but
his hitting eye, his judgment of dis
lance. may perhaps be lacking. It is
too bad that the big fellow did not
have an actual ring fight under his
belt. One or two contests of the real
article would do more TO bring these
back-his hitting eye and Judgment of
distance-than months Of boxing at
the training camp.
Hard fighting round after round is
stamina he possesses, whether his hit
ting eye Is good or his judgment of
distance poor. Jeffries has not taken
part In real fight since he defeated
Jack Munroe Aug 26. 1904. and there
has been no chance for such a strug-
gle at his training quarters. no mat
ter how hard his sparring partners
try TO hit him. The bitter animosity
the merciless smuggling and the test OF
courage are always lacking in such
trial affairs at the training camp. Sc

his physical condition when he faces
the negro.

bett, Sharkey. Rubin and Fitzsim-
mons. Now. the trouble with these fell
lows is that they underestimate the
ability Of Burns, Langford, ketchel
and Kaufman IN attributing superior
ity TO Corbett, Sharkey. Rubin and
Fitzslmmons.
Langford is a better man today than
Sharkey ever was. He can punch
harder and is a better boxer. Burns
at his best would defeat Sharkey
Kaufman is the equal OF Rubin. and
the chances are that he could beat
Gus with the latter at his best. John
son has more effective defense than
Corbett. has the strength that none OF
Jef's victims possessed and can hit

for a long time. Either method takes
away the strength, vitality and agility
needed for a long battle. Jeffries Is
now IN his thirty-sixth year, and as
every intelligent chap who follows ath-
letics knows II is impossible for any

per cent Of his form at twenty-four

that Jeff Is as physically Mt today as

grand shape; but. TO be candid, he has

Negro at His Zenith.
How about Johnson? The negro is
now at the height OF his career. He
has been fighting steadily ever since
he became a pugilist. Between fights
he may be a high liver, but he has
never been out OF condition. Johnson
is as perfect a specimen OF physical
manhood as any one could wish to see.
Many fight experts refuse 20 give
johnson anything but a slim chance
with Jeffries through prejudice against
tho colored man. Some say he can't
hit, he always backs up, he has not the
punch and is always stalling, and a
few more things. The more conserva-
tive critics concede that Johnson is

hand to deliver the sleep producing
wallop.
Johnson is not a swinger. He be-
lieves that swings waste ones energy
and are too apparent to a sharp eyed
antagonist. Those who have made a
study of Johnson in the ring say that
while he possesses a knockout blow In
his right hand uppercut he is averse
TO taking a chance with this punch un-
til he finds the proper opening. He
has been known to fight many rounds
without using the right hand at all ex-
cept to block the other mans assaults,
and in that way he has completely dis
armed his opponents by convincing
them that his right hand is a useless
weapon. Then gradually forcing a RI
val to regard his right without appre-
hension, Johnson has suddenly let fly
the punch straight to the vital spot
with crushing force.
Jeffries. on the other hand, has a
style that Is just the opposite. His
best blow is a left hook or half swing
delivered as an antagonist rushes in.
while he has beaten numerous chal-
lengers with tremendous body blows
driven home with his right hand.
johnson has a good defense, but he Is
not afraid to take a punch on the head
or in the stomach. His one weak point
is lack Of aggressiveness, for he is not
a rusher and is deliberate in his foot
work. He prefers to set himself be-
fore cutting loose punch. and IN that
way he can get all kinds OF power into
his blows. He likes to have a man
come TO him and mix It up at close
quarters. where his great bulk and
stamina count
Having this line on the respective
fighting tactics Of Johnson and JEFF
fries. therefore the ring experts are
busily figuring out how the coming
battle will be waged. It is generally
conceded in the first place that the
scrap viii not be short and decisive.
for johnson will plan TO prolong It as
much as he can with the idea of firing
JEFF out. Unless Jeffries revolutionizes
his general style he will not adopt
rushing tactics. for he is too big and
heavy on his feet to hope to land eff
fective blows while under Roadway.
But adopting crafty ring science. al
ways keeping in mind that the ring is
twenty-four feet square and that the
fight can last forty-fve rounds II
necessary Il is predicted that Johnson
will be a hard man to corner and beat
down unless he loses his head.
