Show the time and the result of the in " qulrles showed that Oiiib-n devoted himself to his business and "social" interests to tho total exclusion from Ms noble mind of any thought of battle. Then the previous right between be-tween the two men may serve as nn Illustration or Hums' ability. jn thl- fight O'Prien won by the knockout route in the seventeenth round. O'Brien was In perfect shape and took his time about whipping the Canadian. It was O'Hrl.-n all the way. In the secoud fight, however, despite the far; that O'Brien was not In shape, it took Burns 20 rounds lo get the declsl.n. and the idea of a boxer the calibre ..f Burns getting the decision from Jack O'Brien when the latter was In his eld time championship shape is laughable, laugh-able, to say the least. Blown up and distended with his victory over O'Brien, Burns at oiicy started to make a noise for a light with the big Galveston nogro, with the result that he was tucked into dreamland dream-land with ease. Johnson's next fight was with Stanley Ketchel, a man physically so unequal to the burly negro ne-gro that match between the two was a Joke After the fight there was ti'Dio talk of fake, but that is not the question under consideration. Jeffries, the present champion, put the famous Corbett way wheu the latter was in his prime. He did the same thing to Fltz6itnnons. Who will try to say that Johnson, slow, flat-footed. flat-footed. Is the equal of Corbett or Fltz-Blmmons, Fltz-Blmmons, Wheu Johnson fought Jack O'Brien six rounds In Philadelphia Philadel-phia some time ago, O'Brien not only landed practically at will, but easily evaded tho punches of the negro. Johnson moved around with all the grace and elegance of a bull elephant. Then a look at the measurements of tho two men will convluce anyone that Jeffries has the advantage In everything but height His reach is 1 1-2 Inches longer than that of Johnson, John-son, his chest is 49 inches, compared with Johnson's 43 1-2 Inches. All the measurements show that Jeffries is of a more sturdy build, whllo Johnson ij built more for speed. The sad part Is, that Johnson, hasn't got the speed. He wasn't around when speed was given out. He has so much turned under at the feet that it Is all he can do to keep from splay footing all over the ring. About the only difficulty Jeffries should have will bo In keeping keep-ing off Johnson's feet while- the Tight is In progress. JEFFRIES MS BIG ADVANTAGE Just what chance Jack Johnson has of defeating or staying with Jeffries for any length of time when the two heavyweights come together on July 1 next is' causing all kinds of speculation. specu-lation. To tho average man, tho various va-rious stories being circulated probably sound about as paradoxical as tho stories being sent out from Salt Lako as to where the fight will eventually be held. As soon as some writer says that Johnson has a chance, or will win from Jeffries, some one turns up who tells the public gravely that the big negro doesu't stand In at all, and then proceeds to explain just why the negro Is going to lose. Flat feet, a yellow Btreak. lack of punching ability, and numerous other shortcomings are adduced to provo that Johnson will lose, while on Ihe other hand the backers of tbe big Phine assert that Jeffries has gone back too far to ever get back hla strength, cannot stand training, has lost his vitality, his wind is gone and thus all the way down the list. In this bunch of contradictions a little quiet history pertaining to the two men may not be amiss. For instance, the question Is arising In the minds of a uumber of sports, ' Who that amounted to anything did Johnson ever whip?' Some fanatics will at once say,' "Tommy Burns." Anyone who follows boxing contests, however, knows that In their last fight Burns won from Jack O'Brien In 20 rounds, being given the decision on points Incidentally, it Is known that O'Brien had deliberately framed, up tho fight, and Burns had agreed to "lay down" to tho Philadelphia favorite in their match. Burns himself gave the whole Ktory away afterward. He and O'Brien had gotten together, arrangement had been made for Burns to let O'Brien win, and the natural result was that O'Brien, believing ho had the fight whether he trained or not, didn't do any training worth 9poaklng of and entered the ring fat and fleshy, and ' at-y prey for Burnu in his double crossing' scheme. Si me there are who will deny that O Brlen didn't train, but that is a question that was threshed Out at |
