AS the time of the big fight grows
closer, everyone is itching to lay few
dollars on the result. If you are going
to back Jeffries, it is just as well TO
study the big fighters record just
little and see if he is as dangerous as
he is cracked up TO be.
Fight fans generally seem to have the
idea that Jeffries is the most danger
Gus man that ever stepped into the
ring. They talk of his great wallOp-
that he was such a knock out fighter
This is because Jeffries has been looked
upon as an invincible champion by fol-
lowers of pugilism, who do not stop to
investigate his record and see whether
his punch was such a dangerous one
and who he knocked out.
JeffrieS is not the dangerous fighter
Bob FitzSimmons, Joe Choynszi and
Jem Mace were in their prime. They
had the wallops that would knock any
fighter out in short order and their
fights were generally of that kind.
Choynski, the very man who is training
Jeffries now. had a terrible punch.
Jeffries never showed that he had such
a punch. When Jeffries fought Fitz-
simmons he was at his best. He could
stand a world of punishment and could
hit as hard as he ever could in his life
and a lot harder than he can now.
Fitzsimmons was at that time 81 years
of age, two years older than Peff is
now. He was not in his prime by any
means yet II took Jeffries II rounds 10
finish ruby Bob. When Jeff fought
COrbett it took him 23 rounds to win.
and that was after COTbett had lost
the championship and was at his best.
COrbett was never considered 2 hard
hitter. He was clever and kept away
from Jeffries and stood the gaff for
that length of time.
Even as late as 1902 Fitzsimmons
came back into the ring and simply
cut the champion to ribbons for five

ing his condition and the fight put up
by the two boys. Milwaukee has been
pretty soft for some of them, but the
promoters will not be so easily hood
winked in the future.
Packey Mcfarland, the Chicago
lightweight, has shown his good sense
In remaining abroad and arranging an
other contest with Freddy Welsh for
the championship of Great Britain. The
papers in London, with few exceptions,
agreed that Packey clearly outpointed
Freddy in their last 20 round battle
but received only draw, and the Chi
cago boy has made many friends there
by coming out and saying that he pre-
ferred another bout to any criticism of
the referees decision. AS a result, an
other match has been made, to be
fought at Cardiff. Wales, the home Of
Welsh, and Will be for a purse OF So
600. That will be more than Packey
could pick up here during the summer
months.
The weight in their last meeting was
1873 at 2 o'clock, but as they are fight
ing for the championship of Great Brit
ain, and as the weight there is 135
pounds. there is no reason why that
should not be the weight now. 1t would
suit Mcfarland much better and send
him into the ring in better shape than
at 1873 at o'clock, which Is drawing
Packey down pretty fine. Which ever

rounds, but could not travel any fur
Their at that clip and lost in the eighth.
A wear later Corbett lasted ten rounds
with Jeffries and was only shadow of
his former self. Gus Rubin and Joe
Choynskf got 30 round draws with the
champion. If he could hit terribly
hard why did he not knock them out in
that time?
Tom Sharkey went 20 rounds on the
coast and 25 rounds in New York with
Jeffries, the champion failing to knock
out Sharkey either time, although he
gained each decision He should have
finished Sharkey in at least one of the
fights if he had such a trip hammer
wallop. People talk about Jeff whip
ping MunrOe in two rounds, but Nun
roe was the biggest lemon>ever put in
the ring and any ordinary man could
have knocked him out.
Don't understand that Jeffries can't
hit at all. He has punch but not the
death wallop some claim he has. He
has not the punch he had in his prime,
despite the fact that the reports from
his training camp tell how hard ne
hits. But training camp reports are
getting TO be old stories with the fans.

hibitiOns, and only knocked out II men,

In that connection it is interesting
