Lose Itccnusp My Old-Time Snnp of Youth Was Gone, "I lose my fight this afternoon be cause I did not have the snap of youth I used to have. 1 believed In my own heart that all the old-time dash was thero, but when I started to execute, the speed and the youth rul steam were lacking. The things I used to do were impossible. - For instance, 1 used to shoot in a right hand body punch, a sort of a short range blow that never used to full me. When I tried It today the snnp wasn't there and it was only a love tap. "I suppose that most of my train ers and helpers will say that I did not box often enough. It wouldn't have made any difference if I had sparred a dozen times more than I did. I simply was not there, and that's all there is to It. "I guess it's all my own fault. I was getting along nicely and living peacefully on my alfalfa farm, but when they started calling for me and mentioning me as the 'white man's hone." I guess my pride got the bet ter of my good judgment. At that, I worked long and hard to condition myself and I was lit, as far strength goes, but the old necessary snap und dash, the willingness to tear In and crush were not with me, "Six years ago the result might have been different. But now well I guess the public will let me alone after this." Negro n Wonder Klcknrd, RENO, New, July 4. Tex Rlckard said. "Jack Johnson Is the most won- derful lighter that ever pulled on a glove. He won ns he pleased from Jeffries and was never in danger. could not help but feel sorry for the DR white man as he fell beneath the champion's blows. It was the most pitiable sight I ever saw. As a mat ler of fact. I thought way down In my heart that Jeffries would be the winner of the light. "The fight was won and lost when Jeffries went through the ropes the first time. This is official. The other knockdown does not count. It was this way: "Jeffries was brought to his knees nnd as he arose, dazed. Johnson hit him with a succession of lefts that sent hiin through the ropes. As he lav there several of his seconds caught hold of hi in nnd helped him to his feet. Under the rules of the gume, which I have read thoroughly, while certain people were saying that I couldn't referee a fight, this dis qualified Jeffries and Johnson was the winner. "I thought the seconds were going to carry Jeffries to his corner. In stead they shoved him Into the ring again to be beaten further while I was doing all I could during the con fusion to stop the fight. "Jeffries could not hit Johnson nnd Johnson could hit Jeffries when ever he pleased. Jeffries was not as good as the last time he fought." ROSERt'KG'S STREET PAVING TO BEGIN THIS WEEK. Burd W.
