CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE SURE

tender Appears.
MANY HUNTING FOR MATERIAL
Man tn Meet Johnson in Demand

the one who Gets
Next Go.
MANY HUNTING FOR MATERIAL

NEW YORK Feb. 1s.-It Is probable that
some time within the year there will be
another fight for the heavyweight cham
pionship If the world. Fight promoters
are well aware OF the fact that II they
could secure any opponent for johnson
who would make him extend himself to
the limit II would mean fortune to those
who STAGED the battle.
II fight enthusiasts could be convinced
that some white man had an even chance
to defeat the present champion interest in
match between the two would be at
fever heat.
No stone is being left unturned to find
such a fighter Every rumor OF a man
with the physical attributes necessary to
such task is being traced 10 IFS source
The difficulty is that It takes more than
physique to make a champion. Many a
giant who has held the heavyweight title
has been beaten by some veteran middle
weight whose ring science and ,experience
more than made UP for the pounds and
inches he was giving away. Most OF these
big men were clumsy and stupid ana never
could be taught to do anything but swing
ponderously and have their jaw exposed.
Experience is Necessary.
Even II novice has the build and also
the speed and intelligence it takes many
contests TO give him the ring experience
necessary to become a champion He must
learn every trick and turn OF the game.
He must know how to put every ounce OF
his strength and weight into q blow and
how TO deliver It in the shortest space of
time when the opening comes.
He must learn how to disguise the fact
that he is hurt and stall until his head
clears and his legs grow steady again He
has to be able to draw his opponent on or
scientifically fent him into leaving a vul-
nerable spot unguarded No matter how
deadly his punch IL 1t Is OF no use to MIN
unless he can land It. He must be able
to take punishment as we'll as give IT,
These are but few OF the many require
ments that 90 to make up a champion
Sullivan hadn't the science: Corbett
lacked the punch; Fitzsimmons hadn't the
weight; Jeffries had lost the stamina
There was something that each one OF
these former champions lacked which con-
tributed to his defeat The present cham
pion has no known weakness and none that
will ever be apparent until some better
man defeats him and brings Il out
Is there any heavyweight that can beat
the giant negro IN his prime and before
careless living or the weight OF years
makes his elimination from the pinnacle
Of the fistic world an easier tasko The
more prominent aspirants for the heavy
weight crown are Sam Laneford. Carl
Morris, Al kaufman, Con oKelly. Gunner
Aloir Bombadier Wells. Bill Lang. George
Cotton Joe Jeanette, Sam McVey. Walter
