Should disaster overtake Jim JEFF |
fries when he meets Jack Johnson in |
the ring next July, the knockout blow |
will also reach Jims business part
ner, Jack Ripper. who announces that
he will bet practically every dollar he
has on Jeffries' ability to whip the |
black man. 1.-THE johnson hackers can |
take Il chance on breaking me if they |
are willing to bet their money at any
thing like reasonable odds that Jim |
can't stop the big Negro" said Kip
per the other night. Il will bet on the
big boy as long as the bank roll lasts.
and then I'll hook the shop and start
all over again. What i have seen and |
heard Jeffries say since he returned |
to the coast is enough to show me
that ,Teffries is what / would call a
cinch bet. He will knock Johnson out, |
and ne will turn the trick so quickly |
that ii will look like joke Betting |
on the coast bids fair to make Jeffries |
a strong 2-to-1 favorte at Los Ange- |
les over Johnson.
