Say desuised2
IL is ALMOST. # not quite. that
IF ever there was a colossus Of con-
Ccit hurled iuto the depths OF malodor-
ous oblivion IL is James J. JeHrieS-tlle
man who knew TOO much To take ad-
vice.
Never en- the history OF the prize ring
has there been famous battle ia
which tile loser made such a pitiabie
showing and SO neglected to take prop
Ct precautions to protect the hundreds
Or thousands Of people who wished him
well from the bottom Of their hearts
and backed him with their money
Champions have proved Disappointing
and have been put away with a punch;
champions have been slowly beaten
down, and champions have even faxed
away their tile for money but never
has one so surely diaEed a pit for him
ser IS did James J. Jeftries when ne
came out Of retirement and started 10

Reno, New. with John Arthur john

him Cur lU fifteen rounds
