So much had jeff benefited by Cor

a coming fighter at once, and q match

Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1910-07-02

San Francisco in 1897. The hgnt went
twenty rounds to a draw.
In the same year Jeffries fought Joe
Choynski a twenty-round draw. He
recalls this fight particularly, he says.
because Choynski landed on his Jaw
the hardest blow he ever received. 1t
was a Highlander, n a so much
good will behind 1t that Jeffries never
forgot it. That punch was n of the
things thai made Jeffries call Choyn-
ski to his aid when he decided to re-
turn to the ring to fight Johnson.
During the next al Jeffries began
to find out how strong he really was.
He knocked out Joe Goddard, of Aus
tralia, a hardy fighter with many vic
tories to his credit; followed that up
by knocking out old Peter Jackson in
three rounds and making Mexican Pete
Everett quit in less h three. A
twenty-round draw with Ton Sharkey
came in the same year., and then JEFF
fries went to New York, where he was
matched to fight two men in one eve
ming. The first Of these was Bob Arm
strong (~colored). and jeff damaged his
hand against he big black to such an
extent that he could not meet Steve
O'Donnell, the other a much to the
delight of O'Donnell's friends.
HE SEES FTTZ.
During this time Bob F4tzsimmons
was retaining the championship against
all corners A match wa made be-
tween jeff and Bob at Coney Island in
1899. 1t was looked upon as a joke. as
the man who had gathered Jim Cor
belts scalp In decisive style was
thought to be able to play with the
big, greenland, Jeffries. Fttzsimmons
did play with him-for nine rounds. II
there was any part of Jeff's head he
did not hit at will, nobody at the ring
side could locat the place. But in the
tenth F1tz tired, and in the eleventh,
after going down twice, he was unable
to get up a third time, and Jim Jeffries
was champion of the world.
Five months later Jeffries met Tom
Sharkey again in a twenty-1ve-round
fight at Coney Island. JEFF got a de-
cision over the sailor, but he declares
that Sharkey is the earnest man who
ever entered the ring.
Corbett, by this time, was eager tc
get a match with his former sparrins
partner. The fight was arranged, and
for twenty rounds Jeffries took a ter
rifle amount of punishment. He ut
terly failed to reach Corbett with his
gloves. although Corbett battered him
around SO freely that the big fellow
looked foolish. Jeff's seconds told him
that he was an ex-champion beyond
doubt unless he did something, and
JEFF went out to do 1t in the next round
He tore after Corbett, minding the
storm Of blows that met him no more
than he would mind so many rain
drops. His left reached Corbett's mid

section in the twentk-third round, and
a moment later hill right ended the
fight with a short-atm jolt to the jaw.

JOHNSN'S LIFE.

-IGHT years iago, when Johnson
IN began to lbm on the pugilistic
horizon, helurged his managers
to make every eprt to arrange for a
fight with Jeffies. "Jeffries can't
touch me-" was hs boast even in those
days, and he frd4ed continually over
the fact that until he acquired a repu-
tation his prospects for a champion
ship battle were but as gauzy as the
tail of Halley's cdnet. He says he be-
lieved then as coHdently in his ability
to achieve the tite as he did six years
later, when at l8t his opportunity to
battle for the supreme prize vas rea-
lized.
TT was not ~ fights themselves,
but my fight to get those fights that
proved the hard$t part of the strug-
gle," Johnson toll the Associated Press

HE Reno arena is located Q mile
and a half from the centre OF

the arena in which the Root-Hart fight
took place just -four years g r-he
plan Is almost identical with that Of
the arena in San Francisco which had
to be abandoned when the State inter-
vened and caused the shift to Nevada.
1t is about 300 feet square and seats
10000 approximately, and its cost was
expected to exceed SIT. 500.
A forest of lumber has gone into
the construction of the great octag-
onal amphitheatre. 1t is SO designed
that every one of the spectators is
insured a full view of the ring in
which the battle viii be fought. Look
ing down from the bleachers, 1t seems
absurd to think that enough action
could be compressed into that 24-foot
space to keep such a horde of people
interested. even for q minute.
Measured within the ropes, with their
padded the ring Is just % feet
square. From edge to edge in each di-
rection the raised platform is "a feet.
allowing IS inches beyond the ropes
all around. This space is left for the.
convenience of the seconds, who must
spring into the ring between rounds to
fan and wash and encourage their war
ring chieftains.
Between the press seats and the
bleachers there is a gentle slope upon
which approximately 5000 chaiys are
grouped. Here the ar1stocrats will sit
at their - to whom a $50 seat
for an afternoons sport is little out
of the ordinary. The five thousand
will be on a lower level than the ring,
and will look upward at the fighters.
Through the bleacher section wire
fences have been run, marking of the
zones of financial standing. First be-
hind the chairs come rows Of seats
held at $40, s25 and $50 each. Then
come the SIS seats, the $40 rows In

HIS GREATEST PUNISHMENT.

Probably the grkatest amount of
punishment JEFF evet took-and he took
a lot Of it first ard last-was In his
second fight with Fitzsimmons. The
fight took place In P02, and Fitz threw
all his cleverness ard strength into the
first three roundsl Jeff's face was
badly out by his blows, and while Fitz
was fresh the CHAMPION looked like a
novice beside ,lim.I But he could not
keep II up, n ht could not seem to
worry jeff to any extent. In the eighth
Jeff's right caughtEthe old champion In
the stomach, his lift went to the jaw,
and Fitzsimmons Ewas classed among
the has-beens for food.
The second f1gf with Jim Corbett
was Jeff's last Important fight. In
thSt fight Jeff showed that he had at
last learned the boxing game. He
outfought Corbett the admitted mas
ter of glove wori and footwork, at
every point of tf game, and In the
eleventh Corbett went down for the
count. This wad Corbett's last ap-
pearance in the ing.
Just prior to his retirement jeff
fought a four-roJhd draw with Jack
Munroe al Butte. 1t was a stay-four-
rounds offer, and Munroe stayed by
clinging to jeff al the time. Munroe,
after the fight, claimed he q knocked
Jeff down. AS a matter of fact the
big man slipped md fell; but Munroe
boosted of his dleged triumph until
Jeff's anger was aroused and another
fight arranged. They met In San
Francisco, and Minroe went down and
out in the second|round.

FOUR IMPORTANT BATTLES.

His foul most important battles
have been fought within the last year
and a half. dating from his defeat of
Tommy Burns in Australia, December
rs. 1908. Having wrested the cham
'pionship from Burns. he determined
to meet and defend his title against
all corners. His fights with Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien, AL Kaufman and
Stanley Ketchel followed in rapid sue
cession.
On his fights two or three years be-
fore. that had brought him promi-
hence and helped him along greatly In
his career. his contests with Sam
Langford, the Boston negro, Joe
jeanette, Sam McVey, Denver Ed.
Martin, Jim Flynn and others, john
son lays no particular stress except
to regard them as SO many rungs of
his ladder of success.

he has it. In 1901, his first year as a
fighter, he fought six fights, winning
all but one which was a draw. The
year he e into the ring six
teen times, and from then on was al
most constantly engaged until to date
he has to his credit ove sixty battles.
While many of his opponents have
been of the style to test his mettle,
his frequent bouts lave served at least
to keep him always in training, and
this is one of the strong arguments of
his partisans.

JOHNSoN'S GOOD NATURE.

-H
Temperamentally johnson Is an in
teresting study. His chief characters
tic is his unfailing good nature, a
c~uriously constant sort of even temper
that nothing seems to rufie. His gold
en- smile is seldom out of evidence, and
not even the coarse and insulting jibes
that frequently greet him from fight
spectators seem to have the power to
disturb him. Even when ducking a
storm of blows and showing wonder
full skill in evading the onslaughts Of
his opponent, johnson never loses his
poise nor his power of observation. His
eyes take in and appraise everything
that transpires at the ringside. He
seems to e "a every comment made by
the onlookers, and even in the midst
of a clinch, when every muscle Is tense,
will recognize a witty sally from the au-
dience with a flash of his ready smile,
and, like as not, an equally witty re-
joinder thrown at the audience over the
reeking shoulder against which he is
pressing.
Why don't you fight, you black
MANI" yelled an enthusiast at the
Johnson-Kaufman fight. The men
were in a clinch at the time, but with
out an instant's hesitation, johnson
shouted back: why should l fight?
I've got your ten dollars already"
And this cool-headedness under fire
Is another of the Negroes qualities upon
which his hackers count, believing 1t
impossible to rattle him by any known
ring tactics. That his good nature
does not Indicate a low order of intelli-
gence, however, has been clearly shown
by his clever business methods and his
rather well enc ringside speeches. Men
who have watched him say he simply
has no nerves. using the word in the
accepted sense.
THAT KETCHEL KNOCKOUT.
This was particularly noticeable in
his recent fight with Stanley Ketchel. In
that bout Johnson toyed with his man
all the way. He seemed to think the
fight a joke until a slip Inc a timely
punch brought him to his knees and
aroused his anger. Just what hap
pened next has never been clearly
known. 1t was too fast to watch; and
In an instant's time Ketchel was on his
back and being counted out. He did
not seem to realize what had struck
him, and Johnson himself seemed
astonished at the result of his sudden
exhibition of strength and speed.
Johnson was born in Galveston, in
1878, his birthday being March 81, and

WALK AROUND ARENA.

Behind these highest seats q broad
walk surrounds the arena. It leads to
the exits, and these are so placed that
the flow of the crowd will be we'll dis
tributed. There is no central point of
egress at which crowding thousands
may aim, enhancing the danger COM
mon &c all crowds Of panic and STAN
pede. sis.s
Beneath the bleachers are the quar-
ters Of the fighters, the dressing-rooms
in which they will don, or, rather, ex-
pose, their fighting toys. The two
camps are separated by the width of
the arena, and a short aisle, kept clear
of other traffic, will be reserved for
each man and his followers when they
make their progress to the battle
ground.
Unusual precautions have been taken
to prevent disorder of any kind. There
will be several platoons of guards scat
tered through the aisles and among the
audience. Every entrance and exit will
be supervised to prevent crowding, and
plainclothesmen will be scattered
everywhere.

4 REPORT made to congress by a
"A commission appointed to examine
land titles in the District Of Columbia
discloses that many lots of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be-
lieve they have q clear title to the
property.
This question Of land titles in the
national capital is not a new one. Two
years ago congress created a commits
sion to study it. The commission con-
sisted of the attorney general, the sec
rotary of war, Senator Scott Of West
Virginia, Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri, and one of the district COM
missioners. The report reveals a hor-
rible land tangle, which the courts will
probably never be able to straighten
out. The tangle Is the outcome OF the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for a good many years after
the capital vas laid out.
Private lands were acquired In
