Of the world. But men who make a
close study of prize-fiShters and their
form are not so prone Ia risk their
dollars On the white man. for they
recognize that in Johnson Jeffries will

Ia stand toe To toe with him and swap
blow for blow until one or the other
is able II put haymaker across and
land the purse.
While the forthcoming fight, sehed

spects the most important ring bat
tie that has been fought in this coun-
try. Yet no important fight has drawn

Il am outstandingly opposed to tho

that the distance TO be gained by
