One OF the greatest contests Of the
year will take place in New York next
Friday night when Joe Jeanette, chal-
lenger of Jack Johnson. clashes with
Jim Barry, who is conceded by all
experts to be the best white heavy
weight In the ring today. Jeannetts

preliminary to the Wo.gast-Brown
contest at Philad lphia. and crowded
so much real fighting into a few rounds
that all the fans have clamored for a
return go" of a little longer dura-
ton. Many of the National club mem
bers requested Manager Tom O'Rourke
to arrange the match, and after much
difficulty the men were induced to
meet In New York.
This will be ~Jeannette's last battle
In America for any months. On the
day following he will sail for Paris,
where he is booked to meet Sam
Langford and Sam McVea. Langford
is holding out for a twenty-round con-
test, but Jeanette wants forty rounds
OF a finish, and it is expected that
there will be a compromise at thirty
rounds. Paris promoters have also Of
fered Jack Johnson a big sum to meet
Jeennette in a long battle. and it is
likely that the champion viii consider
IL favorably.
Joe Jeanette is undoubtedly the
gamest fighter in the ring today. Sam
Langford has invariably been able to
beat him in short bouts, but It is
nevertheless true that Jeanette has
always been the stronger at the finish
Sam McNea ~outpointed Jeanette in
the early rounds of their famous bat
tie, but was finally defeated in the

Jeanette would outgame and Outright
either Langford or Johnson In a finish
battle.
Jim Barry is a strong, rugged mixer.
After the contest in Philade phia he
declared from the ring that he would
agree to stop Jeanette in six rounds.
In view OF this the National club mem
bers are in for a fine fistic treat.
