occasionally, but the negro Is so good
"a defensive man that he will block
him and get away clean. It's to be
the greatest battle in half century
and | wouldn't miss it for-well, for
a whole lot OF money.
"As to the question of whether JEFF
fries can come back in condition, there
is no chance for him to do anything
else. He Is not by any means an old
man. He has dissipated some but not
enough to hurt him materially. Didn't
he whip FitzsimmOns when little bet
ter than a novice and at time when
Fitz was considered an unbeatable
his diet and to work hard for three
or four months. Then he will be as
fit as fiddle. But understand, this
is not saying anything against the
negro. Johnson could have fought
Corbett twenty-five rounds and never
and so is Jeffries, for that matter, but
Johnson, to my mind, is a bit too care
full in pinCheS like this. However,
know he will put up a great battle.
IL don't think the fight will be fought
on the Fourth of July, next. Every
fighter has his little cranky spells and
one of Ieffries' is on the matter of the
day of his fights. He won't enter the
ring on any day except Friday. The
Fourth of next July comes on Monday
Therefore, the promoters will have to
choose another day, as his supersti
ton has been tested in this way and
has found him firm"

Writing from Houston, Tex, To his

interesting story OF his hunting ex.

cerpts from his letter:

The Big Fight Will be Slow.

Cincinnati, Jan. 29.-That the JEFF
fries-Johnson fight will be longest ever
fought for the worlds championship
in pugilism: that Jeffries can come
back" in the best way, and that the
fight will attract the betting of at least
two millions of dollars in the world
are assertions made here today by
William A. Brady, former prominent
pugilistic promoter and now one of
the principal theatrical men in this
country. Brady said, also, that the
people should not worry about where
the mill will be pulled off, as the pro
motors know what they are talking
about and will not throw away that
SOL, 900.
Il have every good reason to be-
lieve that the mill may last so long
that some of the spectators will leave
the stand before it is finished" said
Mr., Brady. Just figure it out for
yourself Jefries will not lead, be-
cause he knows the danger of that, es'
pecially for a big man and one who
has come back to the ring after long
absence, Neither will Johnson, whom
consider the greatest defensive fight
er of the age.
They will both fight cautiously and
it will be a test of endurance. JEFF
fries is not going to take any chances
and the black man has been on the
defensive in all his contests. OF
course, Jeffries will take brave lead

People Hunt for Beds Here.

The increase in traffic through Nor
folk, caused by the filling up of the
great territory to which this city is
the gateway, has come practically to
the point where Norfolk needs greater
hotel capacity with which to take care
of the people hunting places to sleep.
Very frequently people find the no.
tells damned to the guards, with cots
brought into service, and the search
for beds is not always rewarded. A
number of Norfolk hotels turn people
away every night, And with the traffic
growing from month to month, with
no signs of its diminishing, and with
still more territory in the Rosebud
probably to be thrown open to settle
ment next fall, still further increasing
the current of human beings that flows
through this point, the demand for
more hotel capacity is going to get
greater instead of less.

NEBRASKA, THE DICTATOR.
Iowa Willing to Make Concessions for
Game With Cornhuskers.

Iowa City, Jan. 29.-No split be-
football schedule is admitted in Iowa
City and it is stated, though not Of
ticially, that every effort will be made
to heal the breach which exists accord
ing to story sent out from Lincoln.
Iowa is anxious to play Nebraska
this year and the management will
make many concessions to get the
Cornhuskers on the schedule. The
Nebraska management is reported as
being peeved because Iowa has ten.
%, the date Manager Eager of Nebras-
ka preferred. Iowa offered the Corn.
huskers the Saturday of November 10,
but this did not meet with Nebraska S
favor for Illinois may be on the elig-
ible list for this date and Manager
Eager is anxious to get game with
the lllini if possible. According to the
Lincoln story Missouri will be added
to the Cornhusker schedule in place
of the Iowans.
Following as it does the report that
Nebraska had angered Kansas by a
dictatorial attitude on the schedule the
report from Lincoln is not regarded
as authentic here, for it is not believed
that Manager E. o. Eager would pur.
sue such an impolitic policy, especially
in view of the relations of Nebraska
to the Chicago conference taken to-
gether with the influence of Prof. A.
G. Smith of the University of Iowa
in the conference deliberations
