NEW YORK. June 25.-Fouowers OF the
fighting game believe that the big quarrel
between James J. Jeffries and Jack John
son on July will either kill boxing en-
tirely in this country or else give IL an
impetus toward popularity Il has never
had the good fortune to enjoy. Much de-
ponds upon the kind OF struggle put UP by
the two gladiators who meet In the ring.
The universal opinion is that the fight
will be conducted fairly and squareIy. 1t
is not believed that either man will be
hurt. One will win with a knockout.
Expressions from prominent athletes the
world over ali agree that the struggle will
be a splendid one and that il will be con-
Quoted above board and in strict fairness
TO all concerned.
John NORM, director of public safety in
Pittsburg, whose duty il is TO inspect fight
ers appearing in the Smoky City, says
There is no doubt that the big fight will
be on the level Otherwise the pictures
would be worthless I don't know who
will win. but each man thinks he can beat

Many others say the same thing among

many others.
| Speaking OF the approaching conflict Jim
Corhett says: johnson will not last much
/ over twenty rounds. He lacks the staying
power and his footwork cannot compare
with Jeffs. He cannot take the punish
ment which Jeffries is sure to infIict upon
him. Johnson is a clever fighter, but he
will go up against a wonder on Independ-
I ence day. I am betting on Jeffries and so
are my friends through my advice
! Tom Sharkey who gave Jeffries the hard
est battle of his career, is really in earnest
about challenging the winner on July t.
Tom has already started to train and he
/ will likely make his future home in Cali
fornia, where the fighting is good. Tom is
a sad. sad man when he thinks OF the
great sum OF money going to Jeffries and
Johnson. Sure Tom has made money with
his fourteenth street saloon. but he cannot
make il fast enough there.

The steering gear should always have

there will probably be some play at the
foot OF the steering column so that it is
possible to turn ths steering wheel some
