TIP WRIGHT
COLUMN
BY Tip Wright.

There hasn't been much said
about the moving pictures of the
wonder why? Has the picture
trust cinched the privilege or have
the Independents stolen a march
on them? Both trust and indie
pendents were talking business
with Sam Berger not long ago in
Chicago, but nothing definite has
been made public.
When Jeffries and Johnson
signed articles they agreed to
split the receipts of the pictures
three ways. Each fighter was to
get one-third of the profits and
the promoters were to have the
other third.
1t was stipulated in the agree
|ment that the fighters would con-
troll the pictures. Apparently the
men who make the pictures were
not taken into consideration. 1t
was the clause giving them control
of the pictures that caused the
fighters to accept Richard and
Gleason's bid.
Now there isn't chance in the
world for the fighters to control.
The trust has put in flat bid for
the pictures and the Independents
have made an offer based upon
percentage, which in reality win
bring more money to the fighters
and promoters than the offer of
the trust. But both Independents
and trust will insist upon absolute
control.
There's barrel of money in the
pictures. No one can estimate
with any certainty their ultimate
value, but they ought to be good
for more than year. with a come
back a couple of years later. They
will be worth ten times any pic
lures ever made.
There has been much said to the
effect that Jeffries and Johnson
will fight 10 OF IL rounds for the
benefit of the picture machines be-
fore trying to put across knock
out. But a statement credited to
Jeffries dispels this.
Jeffrfes is reported to have
said: ''I'll whip Johnson in three

Our Natural Love Of Combat
Awakened by Jack-Jeff Fight

II is the same with humans.
Little girls nurse dolls. They show
the mother instinct, which takes
the place of mans combativeness.
The sports of boys, wrestling, box
ing, chasing each other are but
flashes of predatory instinct.
This is seen chiefly in boxing.
The play-impulse takes more clear
ly the form of combat with which
our ancestors depended upon for
their existence.
Overcharged nerves of we'll
nourished men find relaxation in
boxing, which is stimulation of
what was once the most necessary
action of life.
A fight may be serious en-
counter, but it is also play, be-
cause it is not necessary to life
preservation.
Men love an encounter because
the actions which bring relief to
the overcharged nerve centers of
the fighters give relief to the same
.centers in the holders. And with
this is pleasure.
A necessary element to the
pleasure derived from a fight is
the victory of one man. When
combat was part of life victory
meant escape from death. Victory
was then necessarily associated
with feelings of intense pleasure.
Today the victor feels in brains
and nerve the pleasure his ances-
tors experienced from victory. The
spectator shares the pleasure from
|silimar reasons.
Love of conquest marks the in
telligent man 8 activities because
it is the correlative of success in
the struggle for existence. 1t is
expressed in highly intelligent
contests. The philosopher who
|proves his contention does so be-
cause his ancestors fought for VIC
tory over a bit of flesh.
And for the same reasons JEFF
fries and johnson will play at pri-
Imitive combat and the world will
play the same game while watch
ing.

ball player does, to catch the fly
ling ball. Propelled by strong
arms the ball strikes chest or
stomach and bends the catcher
backward from the impact, the
arms and hands folding over the
ball to prevent 1t bounding away
again.
After the ball has been thrown
for a few minutes, the chances are
the men aren't so very sure of
their aim and here comes the
footwork-the catcher jumping
around considerably to prevent
the ball getting away from him.
It's a great sight to watch a
|pugilist in training. taking the
shots of several training partners,
as they slam the ball at him with
Jail their strength. The ball, in adj
Idition TO the great physical bene-
fit IL accomplishes, does more-it
keeps the fighter In good humor
10y giving him something to think
about, and thus take his mind off
the monotony of training.
| Every man who has used a
medicine ball to help him get into

John Johnson will settle the
heavyweight championship.
Both will be trained to the
height of physical fitness. Each
will represent the most powerful
of his class.
The fight will be witnessed by

Why this interest?
Human brutality?
No! Science says the interest
is natural love of contest, ex-
pressed In the form of play.
The battle will epitomize the
battle and play of life. The i'm
pulse that makes us follow the
gladiators makes us overturn ty-
rants, enjoy baseball or poker.
Lower animals devote time and
strength to fulfilling the functions
to sustain life. The higher animals
their faculties more numerous,
are not entirely occupied in pro-
viding for immediate needs. Better
nutrition yields surplus energy.
Vigor turns to something else.
In higher animals excess energy
manifests itself in different ways.
A horse fed on oats and not exer-
cised kicks, runs and shows spirit
until the surplus has been worked
off,.
When excessive energy is found
in man or animal, they feel this
desire for play. Science says:
Desires are ideal feelings that
arise when real feelings to which
they correspond have not been ex.,
ercised for some time.
Every mental power is subject
to this law-that it's physical ma
chinery, when dormant for an I'M
usual period, becomes unusually
active. Only creatures full of
strength and energy play.
A cat, leading a life of luxury,
Graves to exercise her weapons.
You see her doing SO by stretching
her legs, protruding her sheathed
claws and scratching a tree.
Dogs play consists of sham
warfare. They chase, try to over
throw each other, bite and claw
lin the spirit Of fun. The necessity
has gone but desire remains.
