PREACHER TELLS
why JEFF LOST
Tells Congregation That Californian
Had Fool Bunch Of Trainers
and Was Too Old.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July IL
The Rev. G. L. MOrreil, pastor of the
Peoples church of this city, eIectri-
fed his congregation Sunday morning
by preaching upon the sermon topic
Of why Jeffries lost. treating his nov
Ell theme from the standpoint of a
sporting writer.
There are five reasons Why Jim
Jenries lost the fight to johnson, {"
said the pastor. He Is too old and
he has been out OF the game too
long. He lived a life Of luxury dur
ing his period Of non-n. ghtIng and
that did not help him.
Then again, he was surrounded by
a bunch Of fool trainers who did not
give him the proper advice and spent
more time massaging him than In
giving him the right kind OF training
for a fight.
Another reason is Jenries' race
hatred. He was so anxious to win
from the black man, and hated him
so vigorously that he could not do
himself Justice for fear that he
would lose"
Mr.. MorreIl declared fatty that he
was in favor of pugllism. He said he
believed IN 1t as a manly sport, tend
ing TO bring cut many Of the best
things in human beings. Il wish that
could see the fight pictures" he
said. Il could not see the fight. but
do not think it is right for any
governor or mayor to seek 70 stop the
presentation Of the pictures.
