A. A. u. President, 40 Years
an Expert, Gathers His
Dope First Hand.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

TLL time is quite spell when
you start from the beginning
and move up to date in such a
a competition as heavyweight
fighting In recent talkfest asked
Judge jeremiah T. Mahoney, A. A.
U. president, to name the greatest
heavyweight Of all time.
You may not know 1t, but Judge
Mahoney has been leading boxing
expert for 40 years. In that span OF
time, he has boxed with most of the
outstanding leather delegates-so he
gets his angle from the inside He
still is good-as any leading amateur
boxer today can soon find out in q
three-round test
Jeff's Footwork Amazing.
HE answer" he said, "is Jim JEFF
fries-the Jeffries OF 1901, 1902
and 1903 1 happened to box with
Jeffries before his second Corbett
fight. He had come long way since
their first meeting, which Corbett
might have Wone. In that second
fight, Jeffries was every bit as good a
bo\ar as Corbett waS-and Corbett
hadn't slipped.
"Jeffries' footWork was amazing for
big man. weighing over 200 pounds.
He even outfeinted and outblocked Cor
bett, a master at these lost arts. In
addition to being one of the most
powerful men 1 ever saw, Jeffries was
as rugged as hunk of rock. AS one
expert expressed the case, you might
as well have started in punching a
hydrant'
"Fitzsinmons, dea dly hitter broke
both hands on Jeffries' jaw and head.
Called Turn on Dempsey.
That isn't all. jeff also was a
Furnishing puncher. Not a quick kill
er, but his walloping fists soon wore
you down. There was combination
of boxing skill, durability, hard
punching and gameness to the last
word I'll admit lean toward good
boxers. That's why I put Gene Tun-
ney up among the first three. That's
why I told Jim Farley before the
first Tunney-Dempsey fight that
Dempsey, for all his ring spirit and
his savage punching, never even had
a chance
I asked Judge Mahoney what he
considered the main fault with most
of today's crop.
They simply know little about box
ing" he said. I've worked out with
some of the leading amateurs They
don't know what blocking and feinting
mean. They know little about the
proper use of a good left. This goes
for most Of the pro heavyweights
since Tunney's time They haven't
known what it's all about. Joe Louis
looked promising under Jack Black
burns training, but he seems to be an
automaton who gets bewildered too
quickly when any one crosses him up.
