JAMES j. JEFFRIES SPEAKS.

no excuses of any kind to make Let full
credit be given Jack johnson for his vic,
tory. he is truly great fighter.
| would have remained the retired and
undefeated heavyweight champion of the
world but for the fact that the American
public demanded of me that | try to take
away the championship from q black
man.
| don't regret the fact of my defeat so
much as | do that it was negro who
beat me, thereby establishing himself as
the best man in the world, / would
rather have been beaten three times over
by a man of my own race than to have
been the means of placing negro in this
position. 1t was to tear johnson away
from this honor that consented to fight.
I shot at the mark, but missed it. There
is nothing left to do but to congratulate
the winner.
The color line should be drawn outside
the ring. 1t cannot be dragged inside the
ropes. When two men face each other
for battle, one of them must not be dis
criminated against because his skin is
black. Keep him out of the ring entirely
or give him fair play. | took a chance
at winning the greatest honors that could
have been heaped upon professional
boxer. johnson took chance with me.
He won. That's all there is to it. Very
simple when we come to think it all over.
The Washington Post.
Had Jeifries recognized the evident truth
six years ago that johnson was right in
line for match he would have had
greater chance of not being defeated,
more sympathy and fair place in public
estimation. He must draw the color
line" sign of fear and the trick of a
coward
Fair minded men of whatever race or
nation will look at the matter in about
this way:
RAISED RACE ISSUE"
"Jeffres advertised himself in his
stereotyped stage speeches as the cham
piOn of the white race announced that
his only PURPOSE in re.entering the ring
was to re-estabIish Caucasian supremacy
in pugilsm. He premediately forced the
race issue, which resulted in riots yes
terday, largely precipitated by white men
and boys who went out of their way to at
tack negroes. He stirred up needless ami
mostly between the white and the blacks,
and was aided and abetted by number
of light-headed newspaper writer's, who
were incessantly demanding that he leave
his farm and uphold the supremacy OF
the white race
1T was an heroic attitude. 1t was the
one OF the most effective spotlight poses
ever adopted. And what did he do after
the talking?"-The Washington Times.

One reason for the high level of

explains the New York Evening Post,
is the necessity of filing the holes
that were left by the drastic econ,
