JOHNSON AND JEFF
' ARE SUMMED UP
It Is a tradition of tho prlzo ring'
that Jeffries has never dnrcd to hit
n man villi his full strength far fear'
of killing him, writes Harry C. Carr
in tho Loi Angeles Tmca.
In time, and by pitnstaklng effort,
Jeffries finally learned ta box net),
with a tort ut heavy botlno skill of
execution.

" Johnson Is not very for removed
from the original Fuzzy Wuzzywbom

Like" Jeff rles, however, tho negro Is
moot of his fights were wo-i more by not ngUncucy a fighter. That Is to
his overpowering gigantic strength ,ay,,he Is not of the fighting typo of

carrying him to his corner: "It's Ino
use; he's too big nnd strong."
Strength has always beon his big as
set. In nil these fights, Jeffries showed
ability to rn'luro punlrhnient but no
such sublime Indifference to blows as
Is shown by natural born fighters like
Nelson. f
The truth Is, Jeffries novcr developed
any rcmurkablo talent for fighting.
If Young Corbott or Bat Nelson or
Terry McGovern had ben Jim Jef
fries' bIzo any ono o( them could
have whipped a wholo regiment of
Jeffries.
Jeffries was not a sport. Ho had no
talent for heroics. Ills Interests were
cautious and respectable. Ho was
afraid of being a hero. Newspaper
roports at first torrlncd him; then
bored him. They tried to mako him
an actor; and the result was some
thing strange and wonderrul. Jeffries
rcalzed It. Every time ho camo off
tho stago Into tho wings, Uo would
complain bitterly that they wero nuk
lug a fool of him.
For the samo reason ho never would
bo Intervlowod. Reporters novor got
nnythlng out of him but monosylla
bles. When ho had fotfcht every ono who
presented himself, Jeffries rctlrod; got
mairled; becamo a rancner; loaned
his name to a rniloon, and becamo a
staid, well-behaved man of business.
His icturn to tho ring was brought
about solely by the chanco to mako a
great deal of easy money. Porhais.
nlho, a Uttlo, on account of tho preju
dice, born of his lron-worner days,
agulnst a negro, and His secret respect
for tho championship.
Any fighter with theatrical Instincts
woilkl hnvo buist back into the ring
wltji a blast of deflanco; but. In his
slow, caincft way, Jeffries would not
at first gho an answer, becauso bo
said (tinhernlcally) ho wns not suro
ho could win!
That'B tho sort of man upon whom
thu "fighting heart" of tho negro race
Is to bo tried. In a word, Jeffries Is
a commonplace, uninteresting median
Ic, 'with enormous strength nnd a full
supply of Anglo Saxon cetermlnatlon
pf splilt.
Now for Jack.
Jock Johnson:
Whatever Jeffries lacks In plctur
esquencss.Js inndo up by Johnson, tho
negro,
Johnson Is tho Kind of sporty "coon"
jou read nbout In comle pipers. Ho
Is n nilnstlor Joko a scream a cako
walk,
A logician could see Jnhunn nml
deduct (or ralhor "Induct") the Jun
gles of South Africa. Seeing Johnson
arrayed In his diamonds the d ly -iflmj
winning ii prio iikui, iiiu iiimiKiiiiiii
visitor from Mars would know that
somowhero on this cnrlli thfcro must
bo savages who hang lings thiougli on the Vnlo teams,
behind the heaj); then she resumes
ncr inougnitui attitude of com
placency.
Adroitnestl
That's very much tho way Johnson
fights In a prize ring. Ills flashes of
motion aro n most extraordinary snec
tacle. Thero Is no room to doubt that
ho has iieu'r had a superior as a
uoxcr.
Not to go into a description of
punches ami jabs, this remarkable
skill Is Interesting as Illustrating a
pnaso of Johnson a character.
When j ou boo him box in his train
ing quarters, or oen In tne ring, you
are Impressed with two facts, that ho
nocr secmB to bo really In earnest
about It; and thnt ho lights very much
arter tho manner of a parlor fencer,
Ho has tho easy fastidiousness of
tho foil fencer. Ills defense seems to
bo without the slightest effort Dur
ing his fight with the dangerous Tom
rr., Tlurns, tho-ncgro carried on a
caielcss conversation with the ring
side spectators. Whllo Durns was
making his most furious, If futile, as
sault, Johnson asked the referee about
the climate of Australia and chatted
about tho slzo of tho audience, as
though Burns wero merely a Uttlo
child playing about his knees, i
His defenso was so nne and adroit
that he seemed only to be gently push
ing away tho vicious, little fight
champion with his hands, Burns fu
tllcy pouuded the air, ltko an angry
baby.
Occasionally, as Burns started a
blow, Johnson would shoot his brown
arm across and land like n catapault
on the whlto man's fnco oeforo Burns'
fist could reach him.
These fight details aro related for
the purposo of laying a foundation for
this question
Whcro does this ridiculous negro
got tho brain power to direct this re
markable rirt of fighting? With him
It Is an art.
.This man Is In the act or striking
mo with his right hand. I can see his
flat coming.
I wllLstrlko him with my left hand
and break the force of his blow by
hitting him before he hits mo. Hero
goes!
Almost an jonnsons blows aro
counter blows, Ho almost never loads.
it is ouvioua that tho negro has not
the brain to actually think with the
rapidity nnd accuracy that this stylo
of fighting Implies. What 'then?
' Johnson Is a ery largo Toxas negro
shout Ihe color of a well vnrn pig
Fkln raddle. I.lkn most mulattos, ho
Is built heavily about trio arms and
shoulders, but with slender and not
ijjy.JWlyiiKilp's. Tho went expel I
'iiuufi'iii'lhcnYnln gymnasium showed
that, with Iho pikccptlon or his nrms,
He has tho mind of a child or a bar
barian.
Most of Ills early fights were In Io
Angeles. Ho was practically tho slave
of his manager, at that period.
The manager supported him aim
thus acquired the right to nearly all
his winnings. After each fight his
"master" would hand him a few dol
lars and Johnson would burst upon
the rialto, blazing wltn paste dia
monds, broad-soled Bbocs and the
most astounding striped shirts.
'His wlfo would appear In new furs,
no matter what the season, and Imi
tation diamonds as big as saucers,
Thus attired, they would tread up
and down Spring utroet with hautuer
and tho elcganco that only a dressed
up darkey can assume.
In a week they would be broko and
hanging pathetically upon tho favor
of tho whlto manager again tor po'k
chops.
Johnson still has tho samo tenden
cies; only now hlB diamonds are real
and ho substitutes fast-fcoing automo
biles for his majestic cako walk up
and down tho actors' promenade.
As soon as he had becomo cham
pion, ho discarded his negro wife for
the more etegant whlto variety.
Tho ambition of his life Is to rush
speed In a racing automobile and be
stared at. Being arrested for speeding
and paying his fine from a pocket
bulging with money is his idea of be
ing Impressive.
He likes to use b'g words that mean
nothing In particular. Ho is delight
ed to accept invitations to deliver lec
tures before associations of colored
people. Having been around so much
with men of affairs, nml having been
In the public eye for so long, John
son has picKeri up a sort of "patter"
and an etiquette, both of which he
practices with oxrruclatlug clegince,
Result: In the art of being inter
viewed, he manes Jeffries look like a
dub.
The Animal.
Is It not rcricctiy obwous that a
simplo child of tho Junglo Ilko this
darke)' with his "coon" diamonds nnd
his striped shirts could not direct his
manelous fighting defense by con
scions thought?
It fo'lowB that Johnson Is moro
nearly the perfect animal thun Jof
fries. He has tho advantage of bo
lng tho moro prlmltUo brute.
Jeffries, tho prize fignter, is tho
product of painful conscious effort;
Johnson of an agallty that is un
thought and purely Instinctive.
In tho Darwinian days, Jeffries was
n big old water buffalo and Johnson
was K panther; but It Is evident that,
after Jeffries loft the jungle, Johnson
stucK around and practiced for A' tow
million years. Neither, you will b
serve, 1b tho fighting typo of animal,

they have to.

two-baso hit, ho would bo sure to got'
it home against tho (Hants, and then
let up for another two or thrco gamos
before he made any more.
1 Possibly that is why Philadelphia's
luck against Now York turned after
Osborne left for Rochester. Tho
"Phillies'' stopped winning when Os

Freddie Welsh
Wants Bat Nelscn
Over In his own natlvo Wales, Fred'
dlo Welsh, tho British lightweight
champion, Is lashing himself Into a
fury because of his falluro to drag Bat
tling Kelson Into a contest for tho
world's premiership in the 133-pound
division.
Welsh, who has established a fully
equipped press bureau, keeps sending
out defiances and criticisms for which
the Durablo Dane Is tho target. Ills
latest excoriation of Nelson Is dated
Cardiff, January 4th. It has already
appeared In the English sporting pa
pers and typewritten copies of It have
Kctcheil And Papke
In PtiistiitRace
From the loolig of things, It. will bo
quito a whllo before either Billy
Papk'e or Stanley Ketchel lssecen In
an American ring. For that matter, .
It seems as though the two crack mid
dlewelghtB aro about to engage' In a
kind of pursuit race that will tako
them clear around tho world.
Ketchel has been offered matches
by foreign promoters, nnd Is planning
to, lcavo here so as to bo in ehapo to
box Tom Thomas, the British middle
weight champion, inLnndon next
June. It successful Kotchcl will con
tinue his Journey to Australia, whcro
a fight with Tommy Burns can bo hlsv
for tho asking.
Pnpko Is already on his way across
tho Atlantic. He sailed from Now
York on Sunday, and will mako his
first: stop in Paris. Wllllo Lewis and
Harry Lewis, a couplo of American
pugilists, aro to box In tho city named

Ball Player Shows
Different Form
Queer are the variations and tho
moods of baseball and basoball play
ers. Queer, also, are the parts played
by different players against different
teams, says the Now York livening
Telegram.
Last year Osborne, of tho "Phillies,"
was deemed too slow for that docile col
lection of Peace Society apostles. So
Hurray sent blm to Rochester to im
prove as a ball player,
He probably Improved. In any event
ho batted well enough to help the Ro
chester team a long way toward win
ning tho championship, and tor that
reason John Qanzel couldn't see how
ho got nuch tho worst of tho deal.
There was ono team In tho National
League which was not cast down with
grief when Osborne left to go to Ro
chester, Ho may havo been a poor
ball player in some respects, nnd ho
may havo been only a morlocre ball
player In-other respects, but ho was
always somo pumpkins of a ball player
whenever Philadelphia played the New
York club.
Philadelphia folks didn't think that
bo was much of a fielder. Perhaps
they were right, but If at any tlmo
during a game, with Now York-some
Philadelphia player made n catch of a
fly hit which soemed to bo as safe as.
stock In tho First National Bank, Os
borno was suro to be tho man. Thero
might bo three men on bases and some
Now York player at bat who hit tho
bill haul enough for a home run, hut
If Osborno noer mado another catch
during the weok ho would get out far
Welsh-Nelson vendetta, and It Is highly
Interesting In parts, particularly where
It treats of tho monetary demands
made by Nelson at various times when
offered matches with Welsh both In
England and Amerlcn.
"How long may Battling Nelson hold
the title of lightweight champion of
the world while refusing to meet a
qualified and legitimate challenger?"
naks Welsh In his circular letter.
Freddie, by the way, overlooks tho
fact that whllo he has been taking life
easy around Pontypridd, an American
youngster named Al Wolgast has forg
ed to tho front sutnclently'to be re
garded as "a qualified and legitimate
challenger" fpr the world's lightweight
championship. .
The pen may bo mightier than tho
sword, but In tho pugilistic world It
Isn't as mighty ns the glove, for while
Welsh has been composing scathing
articles about Nelson, Wolgast has been
fighting himself Into tho good graces
of tho promoters and the public gen
erally. It looks at this writing as
though Al has stolen a march on Fred
die, for no matter where tho event
takes place, a Wolgast-Nelson bont
will constitute the next tussle tor the
lightweight tltlo.
Proceeding with his arraignment of
Nelson, Welsh says: "I have met ev
ery lightweight of note 'in America
snd'England.and have defeated them
all. I havo always been ready to meet
ony lightweight In tho world. I havo
endeavored for two years to get Nel
son to meet mo and he has persist
ently refused on ono 'pretext or an
other. My position now la that by por-
fnrmnnppn I nm tlln rpnl llffhtn-MrM
champion of tho world, while Nelson wllllnB t0 K to Australia' and box
Tom Thomas
Sporting Club.
When Ketchel hears of this ho may
hasten his departure for tho French
rldo, for, in adJltion to trying to fore
stall Ketchel with Thomas, Papko
speaks of continuing on to Australia,
where he says ho has been promlsM
& fight Vlth Bill Lang, the champion
of that country. It may be that It Is
Tommy Burns Papke has an eye on,
snd in such case there Is much dangor
in delay so far as Ketchel is con
cerned. '
The Grand Rapids fellow may find
by the time he has reached Australia
that Papke has nosed him out of every
match at present In prospect. In such
case tho only thing left for Ketchel to
do would bo to turn round and fight
Papko in far Kangarooland.
At present Ketchel's name and
Ketchel'B fame appeal to tho Austral
lian sports, but there Is no tolling
what may happen' If Papke. Is the first
to Invade that country. Within tho
past couple of days Ketchel, who Is
at present In Grnnd Rapids, has turn
ed down a flattering1 offer cabled him
by Hugh Mcintosh, tho Australian
promoter. Mcintosh wants Ketchel to
figure In three conteiti',ono with
Tommy Burns, another with Bill
Lang, and a third with an opponent
to bo named Jater. Mcintosh says
that the three bputs wU .net Ketchel
close to f40,0o0.
Ketchel cabled a refusal and, in ex
planation of his actlon( saysiho wants
to meet Tom T!ibmas,'tho tirltlshor,
first nnd gafn for himself the tltlo of
undisputed mlddlowolght,ehamplon of
tne world. Aitor mat no win uo quuo
Is only a self-called champion. '
Welsh then gives n rather prosy ro
ellal of dils two ycain of effort to
bring about a meeting with Nelson,
He says that at ono tlmo he put up a
certified chek for $5000 to go as a
t,ldo bet and that Nelson refused to
covor It. '
According to WfUh, tho nearest ho
ever came to getting a fight with tho
"coy Dane," as ho calls Nelson, was
when the latter's manager came to
hlni and said he could have a ten
round bout ip Now York on condi
tions that Welsh agreed to fight for
nothing and on a "no-dcelslon" lusts,
' Says Welsh, "I rofused this magnifi
cent offer." He explains further along
that tho New York Club had offered
ten thousand dollars for tho mitch mid
that Nelson wanted ovory dollar of
the sum mentioned.
Coming down to more recent dato,
Welsh says that it having appeared In
American nnd English papers that Nel
son had signified his willingness to
box 'twenty rounds In England If a
purso of $20,000 was provided, a re
sponsible promoter with headquarters
at Cardiff cabled Nelson that ho would
offer the amount designated. Then
I camo word that NeUon wanted $23,000
-ror nimsoir." on receipt of which In
formation thero was much disgust
around Pontypridd
Tommy Burns,
It la quite posslblo though, that
Ketchel may busy himself and decide
to get to woric on his foreign contracts
a little carlle-. now. that Papke has
started out before him.)
Louis Blot of the Metropolitan Ath
letic Club expected to tcaturo either
Papke or Ketchel apd. for that nint
tcr, perhapB, both of them for his
March attraction in this city. Blot's
first Idea was a Papko-Langford match
nnd it that fell through ho Intended to
fall back upon a Papko-Kctchel bout.
As both Papke and Kotchcl havo de
termined to try their luck abroad Blot
will have to get along without them.
