JEFF NOT TAKEN
VERY SERIOUSLY
FIGHT FOLLOWERS LAUGH AT
HIS CHALLENGE FOR JACK
JOHNSON. NO CHANCE
FOR BOUT.

Jim Jcffries. once the grizzly bear
of the ring. has sprung into view
with a challenge to fight Champion
Jack Johnson again. II there were not
something almost pitiful about this lat
est OF challenges it would set the whole
pugilistic world roaring with laughter.
writes Thomas r. Hoyne.
Jelfries' claims for another match
arc enveloped i'm hazy assertions that
he is in better shape than johnson is.
How he knows what shape Johnson is
i'm is beyond us Especially as men
who have been seeing a good deal of
Johnson lately are not sure whether
be is as good as ever or better. Few
seem to think that he has gone back
any.
Jcffrics says-or Is reported as hav-
ing said-that he has been taking
tit to go into training and prove to the
world he is the man he thought he was.
This is all very lauda5le and worth
talking about-from Jeffries' stand
point.
Had Jeffries been beaten by Johnson
in hard give-and- take battle on that
memorable Fourth of July in Reno.
many fight followers might be disposed
To listen to him with some sympathy,
and perhaps agree that he should be
given another opportunity TO fight for
the title. But the memory of that bat
Tie is too clear i'm mind.
Jeffrics made absolutely no showing
against the negro that was lit tu. call
tight. Most of those who saw tho bat
tie agree with Johnson when the latter
says the big boilermakcr quit Now
quitting and being beaten arc two
very different things. The man who is
merely beaten may come back and win.
but the man who has quit before some
opponent is about through. so far as
that opponent is concerned.
1t is best to view Jenries remarks
charitably They may be no more
than the symptom of "A later stage of
that lamentable mental condition which
developed at Reno and was so wisely
spoken of as lack of proper co-ordna-
ton between mind and muscles"

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
KARL LEHTO IN
THE FRONT RANK
FINNISH CRAP ER, WELL
KNOWN HERE, MAKING
NAME FOR HIMSELF
IN THE EAST.

Karl Lehto, the champion catch-as-
catch-can style Finnish wrestler. who
is to meet Kid Cutler, one of the very
best grapplers in the country, next
Thursday morning at Ishpeming. Is
making name for himself in the
East where he has been wrestling
since the latter part of December. He
has not lost a match and he has de-
teated number of good men. Lchto
has been in Chicago the past few days,
training for his match with Cutler.
Among the men that Lchto defeated
on his Eastern trip are Louis Schmidt
Of Cleveland; John Yoager, heavy
weight champion of Cleveland:
Charles DeIuwook, champion of Aus
tria; Paul Ernest, the Batavia giant:
Ignaci Galdwitz and Charles Challen-
der, the mysterious conductor"
Shortly after his match with Cutler,
Lchto expects to wrestle Amercus. and
be has also accepted n challenge from
Anton Lumme, just over from Finland
for match i'm Greaco- Roman style.
Lehto will attempt to throw Lumme
twice i'm one hour.
Lehto and Cutler have both wrestlcd
Challender, the mysterious conduc-
tor" Challender is five pounds lighter
than Lehto, and he is some twenty five
or thirty pounds lighter than Cutler.
Ii took the latter sixty-seven minutes
20 gain the first fall over the "conduc-
tor but he won the second i'm three
minutes. Challcnder being in "A weak
cncd condition. Lehto won the first
fall from Challender in twenty min
utes and thirty seconds but the "con-
ductod" downed him for the second
fall with back deadlock i'm two min
utes and ten seconds. Lehto won the
third fall with a double hammerlock
i'm sixteen minutes and ten seconds.
Challendcr feels SO positive that he
can best Lehto that he challenged him
fer another match for n side bet of
5000. The young Finn accepted the
challenge and they win meet again
within few weeks
Challender Is considered one Of the
most scientific wrestlers In the coun-
try. During his spare time he instructs
classes in athletics. and he Is great
favorte with the wrestling fans in the
East.
In view of the showing that Lchto
made against Challender. 1t would
seem that Cutler will not have any
great advantage over the young Finn
when they meet at Ishpcming Thurs
day morning in spite OF the fact that
he is some pounds heavier

carefully compiled by Harvard stat
isticians show success on the athletic
field is always followed by an increased
college attendance. Conversely, the
defeat of the principal athletic teams is
q sure indication that the next years
registration will be light.
Figuring back twenty years or more
II Is found that in the year following a
Yale football victory there has always
been a decrease in the enrolment at
Harvard of freshmen from public
schools. Most s,utcrt- from p,lyatc
schools decide on their ccl, wo
years or more in advance. but in the
public schools the influence of athletics
IS more apparent.
I'm 1901. which followed a severe de-
feat at the hands Of Yale. 23O fresh
men enrolled from the public schools.
The Crimson won the following year
and the registration jumped to 29S
men Yale won in 1903 and 247 en-
rolled. In 1905 both Yale and Penn
syivania downed Harvard and the en-
trants wer only 2O5.
