- Jeff doesn't fave to be anything like
the fighter he was to beat Johnson. Not
that Johnson isn't a good fighter. Far
from il. The big negro has skill and is
one of the shiftiest boxers, taking in all
classes. in the ring today. He also has
a good punch and is good ring general
in spite of the opinion that most people
hold that negroes use poor judgment in
fact that he is good man, but there $
a whole lot of doubt about whether he
can make good showing against ID man
