A DIFFERENT STORY.

When poor old Peter Jackson
lowered around the championship. no
one seemed TO bother about him. He
was hardly considered, but It is a
different story with Jack" Johnson.
He has done a whole lot OF damage
Go the white race. and the pride of
the latter is somewhat shattered. The
color OF the fighter should never en-
ter the argument where merit is con
cerned. Some of the best lighters this
country ever knew were negroes.
Look az George Dixon. Joe VOL
colt and Joe Cans. White folk were
as proud of them as If they were
white; tnat is, the fair minded per
sons So it should Dee In the case of
johnson. Naturally there is a feeling
among the fair race leaning toward
Jenries, but 90 the honest gpOrtinc
man. who pays his money 20 see the
battle, there should be no preference
any more than there would be in a
horse race where one horse was blacl,
and the other white. To is question

Both are good men. I might say
great men. in their business" con
tinued White. "Jefries is one of the
most stubborn fighters I ever saw.

after all this Jenries' one punch

marvel for taking punishment
Johnson has proved many times
that he is far above the average fight
or. He knows all about the game
and Is unQuestionably cleverer than
Jehries and can hit harder than Cor

endurance on the part Of JeTries If

DISCUSSES BIG FIGHT
Charlie White, Famous Referee,
Voices His Opinion.

New York, March 26.-Seated
around a table at Mock's last night
was a crowd OF sporting men and
actors Among the number was
Charlie" White, who has probably
refereed more glove contests than
any one man in the split and break
away business.
1t did not take long for the sub
ject to turn 10 the Jeffries-Johnson
fight. This was natural, owing to
Charlie" Whites presence. He talks
intelligently Oh subjects pugilistic
and has a dope" on almost every
man in the business. Long before his
hair began to fall IN" Charlie knew
a good 'un' when he saw him. and
has been instrumental in making
more matches than the majority OF
promoters
How about the fight?" asked AL
bert Hart, who had just pushed his
long legs under a portion OF the ia

long way TO see, and you can bet
that II viii have the biggest gate of
any AFFAIR OF the kind that was ever
pulled on in the history OF pugilism
in any country. Never was there a
fight OF such importance to Amerl-
cans. The fact that It is a battle
where the color line is factor
makes IL doubly interesting. It Is the
first time a white man has been ask

from negro, and "Jeff" realizes the

WISE MONEY on JOHNSON.

Almost all the wise" money. GIea-
son added. was now being placed on
Johnson. The basis CT this was. OF
course, Jenries' long retirement
which was figured by many as inju-
rious 10 his chances OF regaining per.
feet form. Sentiment undoubtedly
favored Jeffries. he stated. and al
most every white man In the coun-
try hoped that the former champion
would win. But desire was not infiu-
encing betting TO any great extent.

wise ones" IL was simply a ques-
ton Of Jeffries getting back into

SULLIVAN BARRED JACKSON.

Peter Jackson found that Sullivan
drew the color line and every really
good colcred fighter has found a GER
tain percentage OF his white breth-
rem on the other side OF that handy
excuse. Every few years a terrific
howl about the color line goes up
from one weight division or another.
but you never heard a bunch OF
fighters set mp that color line ora
torio unless there was concealed in
their particular wOodpile a colored
man who could fay them alive. You
never knew fighter 10 howl about
the color line unless he was being
systematically prOdded into a match
with colOred man whom he had a
mighty good reason to fear.
Does any one remember what a
grand talk Jimmy Britt used to make
about his hot Southern blood2 And
how soon his hot Southern blood
cooled when it was ascertained that
Joe Cans was amenable TO reason2
It lis the white goose who lays the
golden egg for the colored fighter.
Two colored men. no matter how
good they may be, viii never prove
a strong drawing card a colored
man. in order TO get money out Of
the game, must fight white men, and
IL he handles the FIRST crop too
roughly he may find the rest OF it
blighted.
Jack Johnson has been rather
economical with his white opponents
in the past. or course. since he has
been a champion be hasn't been un-
der the necessity OF saving any
body. for there are always men who
are willing 20 take a crack at any
title holder because OF the gambling
chance for lot OF money If they
win. But then Jack was not cham

onion gourmand. travelling from

were times when he showed mercy
that is. it was either mercy or a
streak. and YOU can take your pick.
JOE CANS ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
Joseph Cans was another black
fighter who let many a white man
hear the bell that sounded the end oil
a fight. Sometimes he allowed them
TO linger because Al HEREFORD had bet
the Cans end that the white man
would be there at ne finish. and
there were other reasons quite as po-
tent. III Joe had gone az every white

In view Of the color line. how can
you blame an economical colored
