II EMO, July And this is the day
IL after. With the pugilistic climax
Of yesterday, a day of regret and
Temorse, for the most part, follows.
The victory OF the negro over the
-1Ihite man was so convincing, so abso-
Iutely conclusive that the majority of
.3effries' admirers can not realize that
they banked their hopes upon such
weakened and shattered hulk. They
: realize now that while Jeff was out
wardly as great warrior as he ever
was inwardly the ravages of dissipa-
tion had done their work beyond re-
pair. They know that that wonderful
heart of few years back was broken
early in that fifteenth round struggle;
that when the battle started that NAM
moth like constitution over which the
world had marveled was shattered be-
'yond repair.
But disappointed as it was at the
result Of the battle the greatest crowd
. that ever gathered to see a prize fight
started in Immediately to try and for
get the tragedy This was evidenced
IA the gambling houses and sporting
resorts. High revelry ruled through
out the night following the battle. as

one funny thing happened which

few good things about Jack Johnson
makeup. Defeat was unknown to JEFF
in the past, and while Delaney was
with him he had faculty for accom-
modating few friends and curiosity
seekers by giving them the gloves with
which he had knocked out his oppo-
neBts.
Eddie Smith OF Oakland is very close
10 Delaney and = the time the latter
was handling JEFF Delaney referred
some OF the foolish mail TO Smith for
sn opinion. They came across several
letters asking for the gloves.
EZdie Smith said: Delaney. I've got

pic club and get ali the old gloves used

short .bulP letter, telling them that
as we have 50 many friends and curl
osity seekers We can't send them a
pair of gloves, but we viii send them
this one'-the one that knocked out

JEFF GETS GLOVES
After JEFF was carried TO his corner
the same thing came to his mind. He
turned around to Jim Corbett and
said.
Jim. you know 7 always used TO
give the gloves away that knocked
my opponent out with. Now 7 haven't
got a single one left ! wonder il L
can get the ones that Johnson beat me

Corbett said TO Cornell:
You go and see Jack and ask him
Cornell hurried over to Johnson's
corner and said:
Jack, Jim has given away all the
gloves that he has knocked out other
fighters with and he wants to know il
you viii give him the ones you beat
him with"
Johnson said.

him for souvenir"

York. where, on Monday. he will open

$4,000.
