Cincinnati, c., March 9-"Coward!'
says Jim Corbett in reference to one
Jack Johnson, and Jim says 1t just as
the stage villain. Here are some other
things he says about the coming John
son-J effries meeting:
II think that Johnson is rank
coward and Jeffries will beat him. 1
formed a good idea about Johnson's
ability when 1 saw the pictures Of the
Ketchel-Johnson fight. All these fights
and escapades Johnson has got mixed
up in have shown him TO be a weak
hearted fellow. On the other hand, jeff
is a good fellow.
II am to join Jeff May l and will do
my very best to get him in fine shape,
because it Will do me good to see him
whip the black.
'I will map out Jeffs plan OF battle
for him and 1 think 1 can make him
win. Johnson will soon get discour-
aged hitting Jeffries's massive form. j
