JEFFeS FATHER DEFENDS
BIG FIGHTERS CAREER

Los Angeles, May Reverend A.
c. Jeffries, father of Jim, is not in
sympathy with the movement of the
ministers throughout the country to
prevent the big fight. In a COM
munication with a local paper he de-
tends his sons ring activities though
he doesn't approve of prize fighting.
He said Jim hates Hypocrisy. That
is why he makes no religious profess
sion. Take away the money and leave
only the glory there is in it and we
would see both a loss Of preachers
and fighters Maybe it is brutal to
fight, but it is not so merciless as to
cast a stranger out of a church where
he came in Christs name rather than
tell him he is inconsistent, as have
seen DONE
