JEFF WILL WIN -O'ROUREE

DEPENDS ON HIS TRAINERS

tie, According to This
Authority.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Few men know
more about fitting a man for a prize ring
battle than tom" O'Rourke For many
years he handled the best men in almost
every class Of fighters including such
champions as George Dixon and Joe"
Walcott. AS an expert in such matters he
must be classed with the best. Conse-
quently his opinion on the coming Jeffries-
Johnson fight is worthy of consideration.
o'Rourke is very decided in his claim
that Jeffries viii win II he 10 sent into the
ring in the condition he believes can be
attained by proper and intelligent training
He says:
II shall have to put many provisions in
my opinion regarding Jeffries think
he will win and would have no doubt of IT,
providing he has some good man training
him lil0e 'Bnr Delaney. At the present
time he has q fighter and a wrestler with
him who knows less than he does himself
about putting a man in shape for q long
battle. which this Is likely TO be. Shall he
go stale in his training, johnson will beat
him sure.
"If Jeffries gets a good man with him

his condition any hour and who will keep

no doubt Jeffries win win. think It will
be long fight and may go to the limit.
feel sure that Jeffries can get in condi-
tion II properly handled. He is in the
prime OF life and has never dissipated to
any extent
johnson is a very clever man and has
the principle of fighting down to science.
He fights as a man is taught and should

out. He lacks in aggressiveness. which
is not fault. AS to his gameness, can
say nothing, never having seen an example
OF It. II he Is game he win be hard to
beat"
To get somewhat Of line on the prob
able gate receipts OF the Jeffries-Jo Johnson
fight o'Rourke was asked the amount Of
the largest gate OF any fight Of which he
had heard. He took note book from his
pocket and. opening 1t, pointed to page
on which was written - Jeffries- -Sharkey,
November 8. 1900. s677s4."
That wes the biggest gate for any fight
ever held in this country" said o'Rourlre.
%and the amount would have been much
larger had the weather been favorable.
The advance sale was s650OO. and there
were not 200 persons on the bleachers, ow-
ing TO the bad night and the poor travelling
accommodations to Coney island. ! firmly
believe that with all things favorable there
would have been ti2OOOO taken in that
night"
Judging from these figures It is almost
a sure thing that a phenomenal gate will
be the result Of the coming fight, as
much larger arena will be erected than last
at Coney island and there is little ques-
ton that the prices for seats viii be
doubled. It is the prospect Of such an
enormous sum being forthcoming that is
causing all the trouble between the pro-
moters and influential politicians as to the
location OF the arena which may not be
settled for some time.
