HOW JEFFRIES AND
JOHNSON PLAN TO FIGHT
BY jim JEFFRIEs.

Il VIII lick Jack Johnson. and
viii lick him quick. 1 don't in
tend TO stall when / meet the
negro in the ring. 1 don't say this
just for the sake of saying some
thing. but because It's the gospel
truth. Johnson never saw the day
he could beat me. He may be a
fairly good fighter. / admit that.
He may have been able 10 beat
some good men who were any
where from twenty to forty
pounds lighter than he, but just
wait until he gets into the ring
with a man who is twenty pounds
heavier than he Is and a man who
has beaten better men than John
son ever dreamed OF being. That's
why I say ! am going 10 beat Jack
Johnson and going 70 beat him

BY JACK JOHNSON.

Il expect 10 be able TO go a long
distance TO wear Jeffries down
without running any dangerous
chances and then TO go in and
win. I am not foolish enough 70
think that Jeffries will be as easy
as Burns or Ketchel, for I know
he will prove much harder to beat
He may come back looking fit and
strong, but think you1l find that
he will not be able TO stand the
strain and viii not show the old
speed
Il intend to let him do all the
fighting at the start. for want TO
size him up for a few rounds. l
want TO be sure about his real
condition before I take a chance.

terrific right handler to the. jaw. al
though he had not tried such a blow
In any Of the preceding rounds. In
meeting Jeffries II is figured that
Johnson. taking into consideration the
white mans possible lack OF wind, VIII
plan long fight by blocking and
clinching necessarily round after
round until Jeffries becomes tired.
Then the negro may begin to cut the
boilermaker 10 pieces just as Wolgast
trimmed Battling Nelson In fact, the
Johnson believers say the fight with
Jenries will simply be a repetition Of
the Wolgast- Nelson affair. with the
negro playing the part of the new
( lightweight champion. They declare
I'm short, that If Johnson wins It will
] be after twenty-five or thirty rounds
and that Jeffries will be gradually
worn down TO helpless condition.
Few experts believe the fight win go
the limit None Of them can see the
struggle in that light AS there is
much i'll feeling between the princi-
pals II is the prevailing opinion that
Jeffries viii try TO bring about the ne
gro's defeat as soon as possible, real
izing that the longer the fight goes
the worse IL viii be for the white race.
II is admitted that three hours in the
ring would be a terrible undertaking
( for Jeffries and that because of his
/ present condition such a lapse Of time
would seriously handicap him.

MUST INSPECT THE LAND
Applicants for Claims in Yuma Res. ervation Must Declare They Have Been on Tracts
 Selected

Immigration Commissioner A. B. Ming has received telegram from the land office in Washington, making it certain that all persons desiring to make filing on the lands thrown open for entry on March 1, will have to come to Yuma and personally go ovef and inspect the land says the Yuma Sun. The law governing home steads require that the homesteader must make affidavit that he has been on the land upon which he desires to enter and that it is not mineral bearing land, etc. This being true, every person who wants to make a filing on this land will have to come to Yuma and spend day or two going over the land and making 8 selection of 40 acre tract upon which he wants to file
 It would seem from the notice sent out from the land office that this land is not to be drawn for but will be en- tered in the usual way at the land of- fee in Los Angeles.
