Show CONCOMITANTS OF THE FIGHT. That Jeffries-Johnson fight has brought about many strange things. A Harvard champion athlete, feeling the weight of the whiteman's burden, seeks to meet Johnson. Gotch, the wonderful wrestler, offers to meet the negro. Several white men have killed themselves during moments of despondency over the defeat of their champion. Race riots have resulted; prayers have been said; and moving pictures have been forbidden. Now Jeffries' father says the defeat was the act of an AllWise Master mind laboring to Bave his son. There are more angles of human interest as an afterrmath to this fight than there is to a general election in this country. |
