merely watched him train. In the first place I do not think 1t possible for lief fries to attain his old-time ability. It would not surprise me to see Johnson win while it would suprise if Jeff knocks out Johnson. The negro is a marvel. He l is the best fighter I believe that Jeffries ever faced. I look for a long fight and | a fast one.
 | By Sam Langford-It looks to me as though Johnson Is going to lose his cham pionship belt on Monday. Johnson is a four flusher He fights mostly with his | conversation. He is not a game man. He is not tried fighter Tommy Burns was the best man Johnson ever fought, and I shall show the public on Labor Day that Tommy Burns is not much. I be- leve James J. Jeffries will knock Johnson to pieces. Johnson will not only lose his belt. but will lose all the fight honors he ever held.
 Tommy Burns Confident
 By Tommy Burns-Even before l saw | Jeffries l thought he would win. l bet on him to prove my judgment. But l | was surely surprised when l saw the man at Moana Springs. He has gotten in marvellous condition. If Johnson wal a rough and ready fighter of the Sharkey | class 1 would give him a chance | think that the fight will go twenty | rounds and that Johnson will be on the defensive all the time. If Jeffries does not win l will be the most surprised man in America. Johnson has only two dangerous punches and they are not dan gerons at all against Jeffries. On the contrary every one of Jeffries punches is | dangerous. If Johnson was the grea' fighter that some people think he is he | would have knocked me out in two rounds in Australia. I'd fight Johnson any day in the week, but I would never go up against Jeffries.
 By Battling Nelson-I have been quot ed as predicting that Jeffries would wir and I have also been quoted as predict ing that Johnson would win. I believe that Jeffries is up against the hardes proposition Tn his career. It looks like pipe to me for the negro. I am not prophet. but from what l have seen O the coon at Kicks I believe that he will l put over that uppercut of hi along the fifth round and 1t will b. AI good night for James J. Jeffries. know .Jeffries Is hard fighter. He is man of iron, but he has been out of tn ring too long.
 Bat Masterson's
 By Bat Masterson-My sincere opiniol is that James J. Jeffries on Monday nigh will be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world He Is in super physical form. He has come as near {. physical perfection as any man I eve saw 1 believe he is going to wade int Johnson from the start and never giv the negro a moments rest until tn knockout blow is administered. Of course I may be wrong. I am naturally caution in my predictions but 1 have seen bot Jefrics and Johnson and have size them up and Jeffries looks like the bet ter man.
 By Robert Edgren-Jeffries ought to wi about the twelfth round, mean he wi win. Maybe the fight will not go rounds. but no matter how long 1t doe go, Jeffries is going to win it. I kno' Jeffries of old Also. know enoug about Johnson to allow me to make thi prediction without fear of it's being con tradicted on Monday. Jeffries will vii There is no question about it.
 Delaney for Johnson
 By Billy Delaney-There are sever; reasons why my predictions for Johr sons victory might seem pretudiced is well known that Jeffries and hay not been friendly for number of year. 1t is also a fact that I was retained Johnson to assist him in his trainini But, aside from these two circumstance
