there is no question of Jeffries win
ming easily. There is no doubt in my
mind as to his coming back"
Attorney Billy Humphrey think
that it will be a hard fight on both
sides. Judging from the reports that
I have read I think that Jenries will
win"
Alec GreGgains-"It's cinch for jeff
saw enough of Johnson in his fight
with Marvin Hart to let me know
what he is like"
Benny SeIig-"The smoke will go up
the chimney just the same"
Joe Murphy am convinced now that
any man can get into shape. have
watched the big fellow train and he
is there as of old. Johnson will take
the count for the second time during
his pugilistic career"
Hector Mackenzie-'If you want to get
good interest on your money bet it
on jeff"
Bob VernOn-"Why, Jeffries is the mar
vel of the age. They ask if he is as
good as ever. I think he is better
than ever"
Tom Corbett-"Jeffrie will win that
fight. The big fellow is the greatest
of them all and I look for him to
bring the heavy weight championship
back to the white race. 1 am going
10 bet everything I have on him, in
cluding the family washtubs Jeff
can't lose unless he falls down and
breaks a leg or an arm"
Cal Ewing will bet the San Fran
cisco ball team on Jeffries and I
would bet the whole Pacific Coast
league on him if the other magnates
would stand for it. He can come
back for the reason that he is the
only man of his kind the world has
ever produced. Just start sending in
the Johnson money and I will be
there to smother it,
Eddie HanIon-"I have always liked
Jeffries and 1 am not going to switch
now simply because a few of the wise
ones look upon Johnson as the win
ner. 1t will be great fight between
two of the greatest big men the ring
has ever produced. Jeffries has the
strength. the heart and the punch
and these will carry him through
Johnson does not figure"
Tiv KreIing-'I can't see anybody but
Jeffries on the fourth. He will rush
that black man around the ring till
he gets him in a corner and then he
will nail him. He doesn't have to
come all the way back to beat John
lee
Johnny LOftus-'Well, I guess that
will have to string with the big
white man this time. He looks like
the winner to me. None of them,
don't care who he is. can crowd John
son to the ropes and knock him out
in few rounds. He's too clever a
boxer and too great a ring general"
Sam Langford-"I think that 1 can beat
Johnson and I know that l can't beat
Jefries, so that's my answer. John
son is not there with the heart to
trim that great, big white man.
look for Jeff to tear all over that
ring and corner Johnson. Maybe he
will give me chance when Jeff nails
him"
Joe WoOdman-"It's Jeffries to me
without doubt. He is too big and
too strong and too game for johnson.
When that black man finds out that
he can't hurt the great, retired cham,
pion then he will be ready to look
for soft spot on the canvas"
of me right away. / will bet my
arena and seven packs of cigarettes
on his chances"
Johnny Herget-"Jeffries is a revela-
tion to me. / did not think that he
could come back the way he has. He
looks TO be in perfect physical condi
tion and I guess that 1 will have TO
line up on his side. But make no
mistake about Johnson. He is a won
derful fighter and he looks to be fit
10 battle for kings ransom
EIgin Travis-"In the beginning was
bit skeptical. 1 did not think that
Jefries, after being out of the game
for so long, could come back. The
change that a years training has
wrought. however, is wonderful. He
looks to be in perfect shape and I
think he will win"
Walter Gibbons have with me
$4,000 to bet on Jeffries. Some of
inns A4co DCcn DSl already ana the
rest is waiting for the man who
wants Johnson. But 1 don't see anv-
body coming"
William Morgan O'Connor-"It is true
that I have placed some money on
Johnson, but the reason for it is
that the odds offered were ridiculous
and I took the wager merely to later
pool it at a profit. Jefries is the
good man in my opinion.
J. Edward kramer-"Why, Jeffries. of
course. All this talk that he can't
come back is foolish. Why. he
doesn't need to be half as good as
he was to lick the negro"
p. f. West, Texas-"I will be at the
ringside pulling for jeff to win
Joe Tigbe. horseman-"I will have a
small bet down on the white man.
and l suppose it is not necessary to
ask me who / like"
Daniel Curran-"From all / hear JEFF is
back to his old form. If he is then
there will be nothing to it but a
white celebration.
senator Gus Harfman-"Jeff looks like
a winner. There is one thing 1 want
TO say, that if l am reelected / will
be against Governor Gillett if he is
