JEFFRIEs TALKS of HIMSELF.
Tells How He Happened to Get in
Prize Fight Game.

Er1Ze EIRnt eIdAlSs
New York, Jan. 26-Jim Jeffries.
while in reminiscent mood the other
day, told how he -tarted to take up
the fight game for living. In an
swer to the query how he ever started
the former champion expounded in the
following style:
"Wen, I'm a peaceful sort of per-
SON." replied the champion, but 1
could always fight a bit. and when
they offered me a few dollars to box
Dan Long in San Francisco some Is
years ago, I just fell for it. I was
no pumpkins as they say, in those
days, but I beat Long SO easily that
thought there might be something in
it, and 1 decided to investigate. Della
ney took me down to Shaw'S Springs,
where Corbett was training for F1tZ.
found Corbett dead easy, and acquir-
come the champion myself. 1 won the
championship eventually, as I dare say
you KNOW" and jeff grinned.
II think my first fight with Sharkey
was about the toughest passage I ever
had. Sharkey was the toughest tough
that ever drew breath, and when we
clashed he started in to play his little
game with me- Well. don't want to
brag, but when Tom tried to rough
me / Just tore him off hike a rat.
THE hardest puncher / ever ran up
against was Bob Fitzsimmons. My
goodness! How that man could punch.
I caught one wallop in our second
match that made me think of home
and mother! If FitZ had only been a
little bigger he would have achieved
even greater fame than he has already
done. But at that. I don't think he
would have ever beaten me, for to tell
you the truth it was practically inn
possible to really hurt me when I was
IN my prime.
And mention of the word prime
brings me back to the present time.
People who don't know me talk about
me for all the world as though I were
dead and buried. Why, I'm only 30,
and / have never dissipated- Then.
why in the name of everything that is
extraordinary shouldn't / be as good
man as ever I was? When started in
to train for Rubin, in 1901, weighed
$50 pounds, and was very little more
when / started in to get ready for
Johnson. I weigh 230 pounds now. and
it will take but very little work to see
me back in the pink of condition.
1.-The idea that I'm afraid OF john
son, as some people would have the
public believe, is too funny for words.
Why, as you we'll know, I offered to
meet Fitz, Sharkey and Corbett, one
down, t'other to come on. in san Fran
cisco, just before I retired in 1905, and
they 'jibbed' at it, 5g"re
"And then they say I won't fight
Johnson. Well. those who live will
