"While a well-dressed feller--
stranger in the village-was cranlzin'
up his automobile out here yesterday"
said the landlord Of the Pruntytown
tavern, "the machine got started up
somehow and he was knocked down
and run over and jammed into the
mud and dragged a ways, and so on.
HE scrambled up, gave yell. and
set out after the machine, which
wasn't goin' so awful fast Before he
overlook It he stepped on a round
stone, which threw him, head, neck,
and heels, into the mud again; but he
got up, yellin' loudeI than ever, and
finally managed to ketch the machine
and climbed in and stopped 1t.
Lester Fagg happened to be right
there with a pick-ax on his shoulder,
and the feller jumped out, grabbed
the pick-ax. and sailed in on the ma
chine, and picked and tore 1t most
all to pieces. Then he threw down
the pick and put OFF on foot down the
road, a7stompin' so heavy that the
mud few as high as his head every
time he jumped.
81 asked Lester who he s'posed the
feller was, and he said he guessed
he must be one o. them Idle Rich
that we read SO much about in the
papers nowadays"

slashed and smashed by SITTER hitters
than this man Johnson. and that he
has never been on the floor nor in any
kind Of position that called for the
tolling off Of single second by the
referee or timekeopcr. They say that
Jeffries' strong jaw and Hercul can ribs
are proof AZ INST any punch Johnson
can inflict, and nothing will prevent
Jeffrics from crowding to close quar-
tiers and beating the negro down with
powerful smashes on both body and
head.
such Is the outlook as the men who
viii string their dollars with Jcffrios
see IL. Those who pin their faith to
Johnson while quite willing TO believe
that Jack might be wOrsted il the
at close quarters. think that Johnson
Is talented enough 20 avoid coils ON
and win out by dint OF superior boxing
and superior condition. The majority
Of the Johnsonites figure that Jack
will fight with cOmmcndable caution
until the pace tells upon Jeffries. and
then wade I'm and cut down the big
white man without much trouble
Johnson himself. although he re-
marked not so long ago that there
should be little TO choose between JET
fries and himself on the score OF age
and condition. believes down in bis
heart that Jeffries Is not by any odds
good a man as he was six years ago.
This was made manifest a few days
go when in commenting upon the
favorable reports from the Jeffries
camp. Johnson said.
Yes. that's all right I could take

with plenty Of oil. paint and varnish.

The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-07-03

It must be said for Johnson. how
ever, that he has clOuded the issue
50 far as his intentions are concerned
by other remarks at other times. For
instance, he told the writer. not so
long ago, that he had made a special
study Of infighting and that he would
be prepared for any kind Of a fight
Jeffrtes might make.
This, OF course, created a doubt as
to whether johnson would box care
fully and wait until Jeffries began to
slow up through fatigue. or stand
close and trade smashes with JeffrieS
every time the big white man came
charging at him As various. hints
thrown out by johnson as to the style
Of fighting he will engage In are OF
a conflicting nature. the only thing
TO do is to wait and watch him. There
seem no two opinions as to what Is
passing in Jeffries' mind. Those near
est to him say IL viii be rush. rip
and smash with big Jim from the
starting bell until the end comes.
There are not few who believe
that Johnson will prove a surprise
when 10 comes to smuggling with JEFF
fries. These fellows I'm quest iOn say
that the reason Johnson has never
been seen in any fierce breast-to-
breast work is that none OF his fights
have called for that kind Of milling.
He has deTeated his man so easily. n
is argued. that there was no occasion
for him to furry himself;
said one who Is of this way OF
thinking: THE only time Johnson
was called upon to cut loose with all
the smuggling ability at his command
was after hrs knoclSdown by ketchel
in the twelfth round of the fight a
Colma. He was up like a flash and
he floored Ketchel 80 quickly that one
half the crowd did not see how II was
done. It suggested that Johnson Is
a fury when he is stung.
These are fair samples OF the way
the chances OF tomOrrow's event are
being discussed 1t remains to be
seen which way the battle will be
vaged and with what result.
