AFTER FIVE YEARS OF
RETIREMENT JEFFRlES
FAILED TO COME BACK
FolloAing is one of a series Of
thumb nail sketches of heavyweight
championship battles of the past APP
pearing in The Daily Ardmoreite.)

In the long list of decisive ring
battles through which the mantle
worn by Sullivan has passed down
the years to the bronzed shoulders
of Jack Dempsey, there is no page
TO compare with that recounting the
clash between Jack Johnson and jim
Jeffries in a sun.scorched arena at
Reno ON July 4, 1910.
Tex Rickard reared a great wooden
saucer out on the plains of Nevada
to accommodate the thousands who
gathered from all over the country
to see the tilt, He hung up a purse
of 100000, an unprecedented price in
those days.
Jeffries had not fought in more
than five years. In the days of his
reign in the ring, none had been his
master and he had retired voluntarily
with no defeats recorded against him.
He was 35 years old an age often
reckoned as dotage in the realm of
sport. The attempt on his part 10 re-
store the championship to the white
race was an effort to which he had
been induced by a constant clamor
from those who despaired Of johnson
ever being beaten by the crop of
white hopes then seeking matches
with him.
1t was a great throng that assem-
bled for the battle. Fringed around
the great arena packed were rows OF
birds nests" built to shelter the
sweet siSterhood from the Reno di-
vorce colony. To them the fight was
charming break in the monotony OF
serving time. Jeffres trained down
to 225 pounds To meet the sleek OPP
/ ponent three yeara his junior and
then in magnificent physical trim,
There was vigorous fighting at the
start, with Jeffries crouched into
i. serious mein, and his opponent erect
| grinning and talking as usual.
/ In the fifth round Jeffries sent a
stray left that rocked Johnson and
momentarily wiped away his smile
But the worried look on the black
/ face passed big white teeth again
/ CLEANED and through them came the
| admonition. Don't rush. Mistah Jeff,
ioncha heah what a'hm tellin you"'
Come on, jeff, IT'S easy" he re-
peated often through the bitter rounds.
Age and five years Of freedom from
the rgors Of training told on JEFF
fries and the power Of his blows grew
less strong as the battle went on. In
the 18th round-the last one-Iohn-
son sent him To the ropes with q
savage uppercut. Against the droop-
ing head Of the weary white man the
black fighter then pounded away with
one uppercut after another
The challenger had tried and failed
and he fell taking punishment His
manager hopped into the ring to stop
the slaughter whereupon Richard held
up Johnson's hand in signal Of vic
tory.
