The point Jones is most buzzed
about at present is his recent an
nouncement that he is to pilot old
Jerfries on a second tour Of the
championship belt.
Here's the thing in q nutshell"
said Jones. The suggestion came
from Jeffries himself. He has new

bors the suspicion that he was
drugged by somebody He went on

to go ahead and make whatever
announcement l saw fit, the under
standing being that ! was to act

ridicule. The relief exists I'm some

himself up sufficiently to get In on

say sneeringly that he received
something like a cool one hundred
thousand for taking a few of john

would have been ample pay for all
