ana lotus eaters generally, who hope some day to discover the sure enough fountain of dreams.
 Many do not believe that Jeffries was doped They admit that Jeffries himself may believe it. but that he has simply been brought to believe it. Someone else has put the notion into, his head, for Jeffries himself in all his career was never an alarmist or an apologiSt.
 What ailed Jeffries was drastic training, which, of course, eptailed great loss of weight and consequent loss of vitality. He was worried, too, over the load of responsibility he was carrying as the hope of the white race. He felt that all his previous achievements in the prize ring would be forgotten if he was defeated by Johnson, and he figured correctly. It was therefore, g. combination of phys ical and mentan strain that rendered Jeffries as weak as a kitten, and the whole story was told in the first round left forearm and tucked it behind Jef- fries hip with as little effort as if Jeffries had been a child.
 Jim Corbett attributed Jeffries' de- feat to nervous prostration," which simply is the situation in a nutshell. Cerbett ought to know what he is talking about, for he was practically in the same box when he faced Fitz- simmons at Carson. and the quick manner in which he faded away show ed it.
 He wasn't by any means the same Corbett who tackled big John L. Sul- livan at New Orleans, nor was Jeff the same Jeff who faced FItzsimmons at Coney Island. The Corbett of Car son and the Jeff of Reno were fellows who had tasted the delights of being on top of the heap and who fretted themselves to death over the thoughts of reverse. The Corbett of New Or leans and Jeffries of Coney Island were fellows who had everything to gain and nothing to, lose. And another thing in the meanwhile. Don't let anyone run away with the notion that Johnson wasn't worried when he en- tered the ring at Reno. Some of his friends claim, of course, that it was fear of the way he might De handled by the great white crowd in case of victory that troubled him. It was an occasion to try any championship can- didates nerve, but Johnson was not left long in doubt The instant he pushed Jeffries' thick forearm away from him and discovered that Jeffries was as weak as a rag, the colored heavyweight frightened. and from that time forward he was confidence per soni1ed.
