ment 10 the United Press today that
he desired another meeting with
Johnson. Everyone in touch with
actual conditions at Reno knows
that Jeffries did not fight the
fight that his training stunts show
ed him capable of putting up a few
days earlier. Everyone knows that
IL was not laydown or quit
on the big fellows part. and I'm
sure that the public generally be-
lieves that Jeffries was out OF shape
on July 4.
Il learned today that Jeffries. for
several days before the battle. was
troubled with summer complaint.
Il believe that this in itself was
sufficient to weaken Jeffries. and
~ was apparent to everyone who
saw the fight that he lost because
of weakness more than for any
other reason. | believe that had
the fight been six DAYS earlier. or
possibly six days later. the result
would have been entirely different.
Il believe that a second meeting
between Jeffries and Johnson would
be almost as great drawing card
as the first. and do not think for
a moment that IL would necessarily
be a wallSaway."
