Boxing was saved a terrible blow when Jess Willard decided not to return to the ring to meet Jack Dempsey. Having had only two bouts in the last six years and too old to train seriously, big Jess probably mark for the titleholder.
 Heavyweight champions seldom come back after they lose the title. Most of them were far gone before they took part in the battle that cost them the honors. but they were able to camoudage their real condition. Once that was found out they did not have the heart to try again.,
 FitZsimmons and Corbett were the exceptions. Fitz was old enough to retire when he was beaten by Jeffries, but he was remarkable athlete that age appeared to have little effect up on During the three years after Cor bett lost his crown at Carson City he took part in only one contest and then he came back and fought that remarkable battle with Jeffries that many persons believe was the best of his entire career. But when the other champions went down and out they stayed that way.
 Sullivan set the example when he announced his retirement from the ring through cut and bruised lips as he stood swayfng on the ropes at New Orleans. John L. kept his word. He received plenty of offers for matches ana ne nSeQGo Hluc 11IOIlCy pd0ASs Odl he was too proud to take place in the ranks after leading the procession.
 When Jeffries lost to Johnson there was talk of another match with the negro, but Jeff knew he was through and he refused to try again. Jeff knew in his heart that he was making a terrible mistake when he accepted the match that resulted in his down. fall but he allowed himself to be in huenced Try his friends and the un- usually large purse that was offered.
 Johnson never did any real fight ing after he was 1attened by Willard at Havana. Force of circumstances
