DISCUSS NEW RULE.

GAINESVILLE, o., Jan. 21.-A discus
sion of the anti-farming rule con-
sumed almost the whole of the first
session of the annual Central Baseball
league meeting Wednesday and at the
close the magnates seemed as far from
a settlement as ever. President Car
son and several of the club owners IA
vor the rule. but several magnatcs who
have already secured some material
from the bigger leagues for next sea-
son oppose II strenuously. The prop
osition of President Carson To adopt n
14S-game schedule, the season to open
about May 3. also met with opposition.

Dixon and a host of others. Per-
haps there is some difference in the
makeup of those mentioned when COM
pared with Jeffries. Most of them
lived a pretty fast life and the same
is not attributed to the man who re-
tired with the championship. Just the
same, Jeffries has been out OF the ring
for five years, during which time he
did no active work. Students of ath-
letics who have spent a life time
training and conditioning men for
athletic events declare that Jeffries
will find his arms pretty heavy when
he has them in the air for ten three
minute rounds. His legs, too, they
say will be weary, and he will find it
difficult To do the hop and step act
quick enough to get away from John
sons leads. Another point in which
trainers declare Jeffries will be found
wanting is his wind. The big fellow
is expected to be putting hard after
fighting 10 or 10 minutes, especially If
Johnson cuts out a fast pace at the
start, which he is likely to do, unless
he thinks too much of the picture
money
And how about Johnson? Most of
those who pick the black to win don't
put any argument in his behalf.
They pick flaws with Jeffries and let
ii got at that. They agree that john
son has done nothing wonderful i'm the
ring and don't give him much credit
FOR whipping Tommy Burns or ed
Martin or Stanley Ketchel. But inithe
same breath they say he is clever,
has hard wallop and can stand mach
punishment. Billy Madden says John
son is the clcvercst heavyweight 1 he
has ever seen and that counts for
something as Madden nursed Sullivan
to the championship, and saw the
worlds greatest heavyweights in ac-
ton
There is one point upon which not a
great deal has been said of Johnson,
is he game? That is an important
topic in connection with pugilists.
There is some doubt as to Johnson's
gameness Experts hold that if he
does not show any yellow he will go
through as a winner on the other
hanl it's said that If Johnson should be
hand tits said that If Johnson should be
hurt he will be ready to quit. Per-
he received from Ketchel, not long ago.
Jack was put down and looked like
gone goose. When he got to his feet,
instead of quitting. he walloped with
right and left and won the fight then
and there.
That Jeffries is a hard hitter is not
denied Ask Sharkey or F'itzsimmons
or Rubin or Corbett. But can he hit
as hard today as he did when in his
prime? Hardly.
After Jeffries and Johnson have been
in active training for a month, and
after they have entertained the public
by their acts behind the footlights il
may be easier to get some dope" on
the two men and for the present fans
will have TO be satisfied to know that
each fighter is coming the money and
not giving a great deal of attention
to the fight scheduled to take place on
Independence day.

OF course Madden is not alone in
the belief that the colored man will
win. There are thousands of others
defeated. ON the other hand Jeffries,
too, has his admirers who DO not be-
lieve Johnson can whip the big boiler
maker. Jim COrbctt is one Of them.
That brings TO mind that the former
champion heavyweight Who lost the
title to Bob Fitzsimmons has seldom
picked the winner N big contest. 1t
appears that pugiIists, as q rule, can't
pick the winners IN the prize ring
better than they can on the race

The chances are however. that if a
list of lighters was made up and each
asked to pick the winner OF the john
son-Jeffries fight, the colorcd man
would have the Iirgcst following.
Right here IN Milwaukee two weeks
ago Battling Nelson expressed the be-
lief that johnson would beat Jeffrics.
Il would hate to see il that way" he
declared, but | don't believe Jeffries
can come back. No other fighter did"
At that time Nelson. for business
reasons. sdidnt care about standing
on a house top and shouting his words
to the public. But ne made the state
