Show COULD JEFFRIES DEFEAT GOFCII If Cotch and Jeffries were locked in a room together, each, by his own professional methods, trying to best tho other, which would win? A eloso student of athletics and pugilism was asked the question. "Well, my money would go on Cotch." said be, without hesitation. I "You see, there- Is not one fight In a i hundred In which at some time during dur-ing the bo.it the contestaats do not clinch. That clinch, when once accomplished, ac-complished, woul i give Cotch all tbe bt st f it. True, one blow from Jeffries, Jef-fries, landed on a vital spot, would put Cotch clear out r.nd leave him limp and helpless. But f letch could cover these ltal parts and by wading straight In. and taking the punishment punish-ment on the upper part of his bead and less vulnerable parts ef his body, cotil,'. get a clutch on tho big pugilist, then. In a twinkle, he could r-Jt i on h'.s knees and then , with the j strangle hold, he co-ill shut his wind , off rtid that w ulj be the end." Win n Jeffries was r.s'..ed what he I could do with an export v. ivo'.lcr, In a struggle in which cae-h was trying to gain a victory over tho other, he answered: an-swered: "I don't know " "Could' you prevent the wrestler from .rotting you iuto his power"" 1 "I don't knew. rayhe I could and maybe I couldn't. There's no use, to talk of such things," was the answer of tho big fellow. |
