Fight Expert Still Insists Boimaker Was Doped Johnson Fight
LITTLE CHANCE OF JEFF RETURNING TO RING

I'M FLYNN could have whipped
J Jim Jeffries that day. He could
not even hit the big boy today 1t
took fifteen rounds for the craven
hearted yellow streak to win that
battle that Flynn could have won.
and would have won. in one or two
rounds. 1t was the general ac-
ceptation Of the fact that Jefries
was drugged and made to lose for
the gamblers that has aroused
practically all of the sentiment
against the fight game. This same
public would bet on JEFF to whip
the dinge today without a mo-
ment's training if they were to
meet on the street or in the ring.
THERE are many who will boot
the announcement that JEFF may
try to get back in the harness. but
there are many others who would
pat him on the back and believe in
him If he should seriously announce
that he meant business. No friend
of his would ask him to take a
second beating, but no friend of his
would decide to try 1t again, be
cause sentiment is overwhelming in
the belief that he is still the mas
ter of the coon. Many good friends
have tried to get him to consent
to a return to the game in the
event that he could get a match

ony. Those who are near to him
know that the defeat at Reno still
rankles in his heart and that he is
too game to make any excuses.
Knowing him as | do. there is only
one favor | could ask of him, and
that is that he listen to no con-
trary advice believe. and the
majority of his friends believe,
that he can avenge that awful
huke
T HERE are results that are un-
true, and there are some facts
that are not facts. and there is no
sense in discussing what might
have been. II is mere matter Of
judgment now. If Jeff wants to get
return match with the coon,
every white man in the nation
would sign a petition for the par
don Of the dinge in order to permit
that return match to be staged. 1t
is not a racial question, but a mat
ter of good sportsmanship, and
that match should be made. Had
the coon won honestly and fairly
there would be no demand for a re-
turn match-we could have con-
sOled ourselves in the belief that
jeff had gone back. Jeff has all to
win and nothing to lose now, and
the sporting world would hail with
joy a positive and definite state
ment from him that he intends TO
make another try.

DILL BAILEY, Chicago American
- baseball expert travelling with
the White Sox. who are now in San
Francisco, has the following to say
about Jimmy Johnston, former
Baron. being tried out by Jimmy
Callahan
THE work Of the smuggling re-
cruit, Jimmy Johnston, who comes
from the Birmingham team of the
Southern league. is what Callahan
is talking about most today.
It's true be got but four hits.
But the time he didn't he hit the
bali harder than upon any other
occasion. And managers are in the
habit of judging recruits by the
way in which they hit the ball
rather than by the number Of hits
they get If they didn't a man who
had luck on his pop flies would
have many a Texas Lacquer regis
tered to his credit.
The big question in the mind Of
Manager Callahan was as to the
ability of Johnston to hit He
knew he could run the bases.
The recruit stole 81 in the
Southern league last year That
fact. along with what he had al
ready displayed. showed Cal that
Johnston was anything but slow.
He also knew that he could field.
The big question was whether ne
could hit
nINCTDENTALLY that is still the
big question. Because a re
cruit isn't made into regular in
one game and that regardless Of
how hard he slugs the ball.
But Callahan today had COnsid-
erably more faith in Johnston's
ability to hit You know. four safe
ones i'm one game is what YOU call
hitting the ball
Three of Johnston's drives were
Of the one base variety. while the
fourth was a two Dagger. And the
extra base hit was nearer a huke
than any of the others II was a
fly. which fell safe just inside the
right foul line Being a right hand
hitter. the fielder naturally was
playing nearer center. All the 9TH
erS were low smaShes that no field
er could have grabbed.
Johnston hit to all parts Of the
field and gave the impression that
he would be a mighty hard man to
play for
