JOE CANS THINKS THAT
JACK JOHNSON WILL WIN
(By United Press Leased Wire)


HRESCOTT, Ariz., June 20.-JOe
Cans, the old master, veteran of
scores of lightweight battles that
have made pugilistic history, thinks
Jack Johnson has a royal chance to
defeat Jeffries at Reno on July 4.
Cans is in this city fighting the
ravages of tuberculosis. He came
here from Phoenix to avoid the in
tense heat of the Phoenix summer.
He was very willing to tell why he
thinks his big black brother will
seal his claim to the championship
on independence day.
"The whole matter" said Cans,
hinges on whether or not Jeffries
can comeb ack. That's not an orig
inal opinion, but nevertheless it's a
true statement. / don't think he
can be the same fighter he was
when he retired, no matter what
wonders he has accomplished in his
training.
"If Jeffries were in his prime he
would be 10 to / favorite over
Johnson. But six or seven years
without a battle makes more differ
ence than the average man can con-
ceive."

the time he sailed he had taken off
another 80 pounds.
At Carlsbad Jeffries was given
thorough examination by one of the
leading specialists, who advised
him that he was organically able
to bear the rigors of severe train
ing and could, by hard work, re-
turn to fighting trim.
But it was not until he had taken
course of the baths, been rub
bed every day by experts and had
continued his daily gymnasium
work, that Jeffries climbed on the
scales. He weighed 230 pounds.
