SOMETHING ABOUT men Who Will ENTER
PADDED R|NG FOR CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE

in the eleventh, after going down
twice, he was unable to get up third
time, and Jim Jeffries was champion
of the world.
Five months later Jeffries met Tom
Sharkey again in twenty-five round
fight at Coney Island. jeff got de.
cision over the sailor, but he declares
that Sharkey is the gamest man who
ever entered the ring.
Corbett, by this time, was eager to
get match with his former sparring
partner The fight was arranged, and
for twenty rounds Jeffries took 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 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 twenty-third round, and
a moment later his right ended the
uSuC WILL d SHUT ain JUL Luc Jaw.
Jeffs next fight of any Importance
was with his old opponent Rubin.
After five rounds Rubin quit. jeff
had learned too much for Rubin be-
tween their meetings.
Probably the greatest amount of
punishment jeff ever took-and he
took a lot of it first and last-was in
his second fight with Fitzsimmons.
The fight took place in 1902, and Fitz
threw all his cleverness and strength
into the first three rounds. Jeff's face
was badly cut by the blows, and while
Fitz was fresh, the champion looked
like novice beside him. But he could
not keep it up, and he could not seem
to worry jeff to any extent. In the
eighth Jeff's right caught the cid
champion in the stomach, his left
went to the jaw, and Fitzsimmons
was classed among the has-beens for
good.
The second fight with Jim Corbett |
was Jeff's last important fight. In
that fight jeff showed that he had at
last learned the boxing game. He
outfought Corbett, the admitted mas
ter of glove work and foot work, at
every point of the game, and in the
eleventh Corbett went down for the
count. This was Corbett's last ap- |
pearance in the ring.
Just prior to his retirement, Jeff !

in the ring again on his own hook,
doing away with the aspirations of
two promising heavyweights in quick
succession in 1892.
So much had jeff benefited by Cor.
belts training that he was marked as
coming fighter at once and a match
was arranged for him with Gus Rub.
lin of Akron, Ohio, which was fought
in San Francisco in 1897. The fight
went twenty rounds to 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 right handler, and had so much
good will behind it that Jeffries never
forgot it. That punch was one of
the things that made Jeffries call
Choynski to his aid when he decided
to return to the ring to fight ohnson.
During the next year Jeffries began
to find out how strong he really was.
He knocked out Joe Goddard of Aus
tralia, hardy fighter with many vic
tories to his credit, followed that up

in three rounds and making Mexican
Pete Everett quit in less than three.
A twenty-round draw with Tom Shar-
key came in the same year, and then
Jeffries went to New York where he
was matched to fight two men in one
evening. The first of these was Bob
Armstrong (colored), and JEFF dam
aged his hand against the big black
to such an extent that he could not
meet Steve O'Donnell, the other man,
much to the delight of O'Donnel's
friends.
During the time Bob Fitzsimmons
was retaining the championship
against all corners. A match was
made between JEFF and Bob at Coney
Island, 1899. It was looked upon as
joke, as the man who had gathered
Jim Corbett's scalp in decisive style
was though to be able to play with
the big green hand, Jeffries. Fitz.
simmons did play with him-for nine
rounds. If there was any part of
Jef's head he did not hit at will, no
body at the ringside could locate the
place. But in the tenth Fitz tired and

Arthur John johnson.

johnson was born in Galveston in
1878, his birthday being March 81 and
if ring experience goes for anything
he has it. In 1901, his first year as a
fighter, he fought six fights, winning
all but one, which was draw. The
next year he went into the ring six
teen times. and from then on was al
most constantly engaged until to date
he has to his credit over sixty bat.
ties. While many of his opponents
have not been of the style to test his
mettle, his frequent bouts have served
at least to keep him always in train
ing, and this is one of the strong
arguments of his partisans.
Temperamentally Johnson is an in
teresting study. His chief character
istic is his unfailing good nature, a
curiously constant sort of even tenn
per that nothing seems to ruff1e. His
golden smile" is seldom out of evil
dence, 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 wonderful skill in evading
the onslaughts of his opponents. John.
son never loses his poise nor his
power of observation. His eyes take
in and appraise everything that trans
pires at the ring side. He seems to
hear every comment made by the on
lockers, and even in the midst of a
clinch, when every muscle il tense,
will recognize a witty sally from the
audience with a flash Of his ready
smile, and, like as not, an equally
witty. rejoinder thrown at the audi

purse up, and Long went to sleep in
the second round when Jeff's left en-
countered his nose
1t was shortly after this that Jim
Corbett began to prepare for his fight
with Bob Fitzsimmons, which gave
the latter the championship. Harry
Corbett, Jim's brother, who was. on
the lookout for sparing partners,
sent Jeff up to Carson City, Nevada,
to join Jim's training staff. Corbett
hammered the big fellow unmerci-
fully, but jeff was absorbing knowl-
edge of the fighting game through
every pore. These were his first real
boxing lessons, and he took them from
a master of the craft. Within three
weeks after Corbett's defeat, Jeff was

methods of his rather we'll done
ringside speeches. Men who have
watched him say he simply has no
nerves, using the word in the accepted
sense.
Johnson feels that he has been we'll
trained for this fight. He regards his
present staff that has whipped him
into shape in his wind-swept camp on
the beach, as the best he ever had, and
says no fighter was ever given more
loyal and efficient service than he has
received. All Of his training partners
those who do the real work with
him-are young men.

Jim COrbett Will Be Only
Adviser for Jeffries at Ringside

Reno, New, July 2.-Jeffries has
agreed that Jim Corbett will be the
only man in his corner to give him
instructions during the fight with
Johnson. Jeffries says that Corbett
will be the only man to talk to him
as the fight progresses. Any other
second that has an idea as to how he
should fight the big black will impart
