n ~ OW that 1t is an assured fact that
both of the principals of the COM
ing Johnson-Jeffries fight are in
{irst-class condition 1t Is certain that
the fight will be the greatest that has
yet occurred between two men in the
history of the world. The intense in
terest that has been aroused, however,
may prove detrimental to the game. as
"a certain class of people are Directing
to the battle. 1t is more thar probable
that after the fight a law will be passed
making 1t illegal to hold prize fights.
The result will be thai in the future
big championship battles will be held
IN Mexico, near the border line. AS a
business proposition such a fight is of
untold value to my State, but as it has
aroused moral opposition it may mean
the end of prize fighting in the Union.
