 LOS ANGELES. - A lot of peo- p1e : cm to think that Barney Old field will try to put his brand on a fresh bank roll by bringing Jim Jeffrics and Jack Johnson back into each others arms in an Australian ring
 There appears 10 be some foun- dation for this belief Let's start a the beginning and go over the ground carefully If any man in the world is capable of running a pebble into a monument it is this B. Old field person. Properly preached, Barney would undertake to promote anything from a katydid concert to a bull fight. His motto is Dig and the world digs with you. Loaf and you pull no corks."
 At the post. One Bill Pickens, the same being the name of the meek little fat man who acts as the Oldfeld press agent. announces that Barney will sail for the antipodes next spring Later on he casually remarks that Jim Jeffries will be a member of the Oldfeld party. Jim is interviewed He rubs hairy fist across his chin and makes a noise that sounds like a cross be- tween a grunt and a yawn.
 At the quarter. Barney with his own fair hands writes signed story. vOicing his opinion that Jefries was surely "doped" at Reno. and that Jeff of today could, with a few months proper care and training, "come back" and wallop the ever lasting dayliehts out of the negro champion. We sat beside our little campfire in the mountains and Jim talked to me as he never talked to any other living man." says Barney. Jeff knows that he was handled and feels away down deep in his heart that he can whip the big smoke. I'll bet every cent I have in the world the same way. He is Jack Johnson's master Another flock of reporters to interview Jeff, This time he came out of his shell and talked. He said Huh"
 At the half. Johnson is heard from. Jack cries out that although the "d0ne" story is absurd, 1t has caused him untold mental anguish - and that in justice to himself and Jeffries. as well as the sporting world in general. he demands an other meeting with the Los Angeles citizen. Business of hurriedly call ing Jim on the telephone and read ing the Johnson dispatch to him He answers: Hum" that's all; just Hum"
 At the three-ouarter pole. Enter lack KipDer with a flow of language to the effect that Jeff certainly was slipped a "pill' at Mcana Springs and that in his opinion Jim could easily get into shape to fight agaln in which case the big fellow would c,ro1v rovarca the Reno verdict. Its
