(BS Dr. b. H. ttOEer.)
There has been more talk about the
coming boxing contest between Jeffries
and Johnson than there was about the
Spanish American war. The interest
manifested py the American people
throughout the country is almost in
comprehensible except by one who has
been caught time and again in the ter
rible crowds at the arrival of Jeffrfes
and his troupe of athletes.
Many Of the things said by the press
about the great undefeated champion
are correct, but lots of these reports
are wild speculations. Sometimes they
are the writings of some fellow who
has spite at the big fellow and wants
70 roast Jeffries rather than to give
the public a square deal.
When one has travelled with Jeffries
Tor two months he can't help but be,
II at all observant, prepared to speak
enphatically on the subject.
In the two months that / have been
with Jeffries, have never seen Jeffries
drink, chew, smoke or dissipate in any
manner whatsoever. He just lives every
minute for the coming contest, and his
sincerity is displayed by every act and
thought
Nine months of this sort of life with
tremendous lot of work has made
TN unmistakable mark. Jeffries today
looks every part the perfect athlete. He

mia sportsmen, although it is not mere
ly the question of whether the .Jeffries'
show was to appear here. 1t is felt that
California was entitled to know Jeff
ries plans. whereas the public was
given to understand that he would
visit this section
Whether he fights in San Francisco
or Salt Lake, Jeffries will need the
support of California. Neither the
sporting writer's or the public are de-
sirious of giving Jeffries any of the
worst of it, but they certainly think
they are entitled to fair break
Since the conference that Gleason
had with Jeffries in Seattle. there is
considerable question as to how far his
authority goes.
Gleason allowed it to be understood
before he left that Jeffries would sup
port him. Now Jeffries says that it is
all up to the promoters, and Gleason
has to see Tex Richard and attempt
to straighten it out. That looks very
much as if Richard is still holding the
whiphand. Consequently San Francis
co folks are reserving their opinions
until they hear from that famous
Richard Gleason interview that ought
to be held in few DAYS

fight will ultimately come to San

title at Paris. there being SIS men
entered in the tournament
1t was after the winning of this
tournament that Zybszko took up the
catch-as- catch-can style of wrestling.
He defeated Padoubny at this more
modern style of the mat game. He
was also matched to meet Hacken-
schmidt at this style, but the two
giants of Europe never came together
on the mat.
After Lost laurels.
Since the defeat of Hackenschmidt
by our own Frank Gotch there has
been an intense desire on the part of
the wrestling fans of Europe to again
bring the worlds champion back
to Europe. The quick defeat for Yus-
stiff Mahmout, who though less known
than Zybszko, was considered a great
wrestler, only exasperated the Euro
peans further.
Their feeling of disappointment can
only be realized, when it is known
that in Russia, Austria and Turkey
wrestling is considered the greatest
sport in the world. Frank Gotch Is the
first American to wrest the heavy
weight title from an European cham

"Hack's" Defeat a Blow.
Hackeschmidt, should there be any
doubt of his holding the title of worlds
champion, defeated Tom Jenkins for
the title in Madison Square Garden
The great Russian won the match in
two straight falls. 1t was the ridicu-
handled Jenkins in this match that led
the New York sporting writers to ri
dicule the idea that Gotch could de-
feat Hack for the title.
The defeat of Hackenschmidt came
as a shock to the wrestling enthusiasts
of Europe, who had seen Hack handle

When the small number of fatalities

is that of DR. Anthony Trail. provost

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.--For the
time being at least San Francisco fight
fans have turned their attention away
from Jeffries and Johnson and are now
considering the possibilities of the
lightweight championship bout be-
tween Battling Nelson and AID VOL
CAST that is scheduled to take place in
Alameda on February %. For a long
time it has looked as if Hester would
be obliged to give up the match be-
cause of difficulties he has encountered
but everything has been Strengthened
out, VITA the exception of minor de-
tails that should nat be hard to de-
eide upon.
The delay has been caused chiefly
because Hester has been waiting for
the board of supervisors to act on his
application for a fight permit. They
have been stalling him along, making
promises of what they will do and all
the time he has believed them. At the
LAST meeting, however, there was an.
ether postponement and Hester finally
awoke to the fact that they were only
playing with him.
Then and there he announced that
he would bother no longer with San
Mateo county and that he would hold
the fight in Alameda. In that he was
wise. San Mateo county is the strong
hold of Jimmy Coffroth and it has
been his fine Italian hand that has
been opposing Hester.
Buys Alameda Fight Club.
The Mission club promoter bought a
controlling interest in fight club in
Alameda, where 45-round fights may
be held, and will conduct the match
, there. AS a matter of fact, he can
transport his spectators across the bay
into Alameda in better time than he
can take them to Colma, and the ac-
commodations are better in the trans
portation line. 1t is doubtful if Ala

Stainislaw Zybszko Cyganiewics is

Like the world famous Hack n

European college and a civil en-
gineer by education, Zybszko is q

Zybszko graduated from the Univer-
