THE MORXIXG pEEGONIAX, SATTJBDAT, JULT 16, 1910. 3 HOPE OF HUGE NOW CENTERS IN GOTCH Corbett Says After Year of Work, Wrestler Might Whip 'Jojinson. BLACK ENTITLED TO REST Public Is Still Stunned by Defeat of Jeffries Gotch Now Only White Man Who Has Chance to De feat Clever Xegro Fighter. BT JAMES J. CORBETT. (Copyright. 1910. by The Tribune Co.) NEW YORK, July 16. Well, a week has passed, and they are talking just as much about the big: Fourth of July fight as they did the day it took place. The public was simply stunned by Jef fries' defeat, and they can't understand yet his bad showing. I am now playing at the American Roof Garden in New York, Johnson is a block away from me at Hammersteln's and you can just imagine how much talk is going on.' I am giving a verbal description of the fight, and it Is inter esting to watch the audience as they hear me tell the many reasons why Jeffries met his Waterloo. I am simply telling them what I told my readers in my last Sunday's letter. Jeffries' de feat was caused by his having a nerv ous collapse. I left Frisco last Thursday, arrived in Chicago Sunday in time to take the Twentieth Century Limited, and I was Informed at once that the "Big Smoke" Johnson was going to be on the same train. A lot of people thought that we mlht have a little trouble, in fact, they thought so all along tne line, even in New York, but there wasn't a chance of any trouble. Frank Gotch Only Hope. A newspaperman on the train wanted me to go in and meet Johnson In his compartment, but I refused, saying that there was no use of my meeting John son:. I am against him, and I don't make any bones about it and I am going to try to get him licked. If I met him I'd tell him so To his face. I am not going to stop at Jetfries' defeat. We must do "something to get a white champion and if we don't try we'll never get one. I have looked over every heavyweight that we have and I can't see one that I think has a chance with Johnson. The only man that I thin,k at the present time, might possibly be trained and knows how to fight a little bit is Frank Gotch, the champion wrestler of the world. Gotch said to me the day he saw Jeffries beaten, "Jim, if you would take a hold of me for a year I'd like to fight Johnson." And I believe right now that if Gotch means what he said, and I believe he does, I will devote a year of my time, free of charge, and take a chance- on him. Gotch Would Be Kough lighter. 1 I think that he could be made a big rough and sturdy fighter. Not to teach liim how just to box, but just teach him now to fight, and if he could be taught how to hit a good wallop and how to cover up a bit when a fellow is punch ing at him, there is no question in the Svorld but when he got in the ring he would be called the "Rough-house Kid." '' Gotch Is not a muscle bound wrestler as you generally see. He's tall and fast on his feet. Besides, he has a little knowledge of boxing now. He has also proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he has the courage of a lion, as well as the strength, and T am going to take this one chance. If it doesn't turn out right, it is only a little time lost. We will have to get someone else. Mr. Harry Frazee. managing the Jef-frles-Gotch combination, met me at the train when I left Chicago on Sunday, and told me that Gotch was ready any time to have me take him under my charge, and I expect to hear from him pretty soon. Johnson Figures on Kaufman. I understand that Johnson figures as his next match being with Al Kaufman. The fact being that Kaufman .and John son were sparring partners only re cently, I am afraid the public would not have much confidence in a matc'i between these two. c It looks to me right now like Lang ford and Kaufman should have a fight, and the winner of that fight should fight Johnson, and that would give Johnson a rest for a year, which I think he Is entitled to. as a man should have time to gather in the fruits of his victory. There are now In America some noted heavyweights. There's Tommy Burns and Bill Lang, the Australian. and there's Langford and Kaufmann, and I would like to see the four of them get together and see who is the best of that bunch, so when Johnson Is ready to fight again there won't be four or five fighters that want to fight him. All this time I am going to keep busy with Frank Goteh. I think he has a chance, and he looks good to me. ' There is a great deal af talk around ew ork. especially about Jeanette's fighting Johnson. I am not, myself Interested In seeing two colored men fight. I want to see a white man fight Johnson, and I am going to be in that white man s corner, if it 1S possible for me to get there any way, and if I should be lucky enough someday to get a white man to win back that champtonshlp you take it from me that he will never fight a colored man for the championship. White Should Not Fight Black. I think it is a big mistake, a white nmn's fighting a black man. It shows an unfair feeling that should not exist in hoxing matches. When a white man Is fighting a black man it is natural for the white people to want the white man to win. whether he is the best man or not, and for the colored people to want the hlack man to win, whether he Is the bst man or not. It should be a contest where the audience is at least divided, whereas In this case it was all one-sided. .Was.

Wagner was far down in the ruck a few weeks back, while now he has an average of .293 and, at his pres ent gait, he promises to overhaul Pas kert, Snodgrass and the rest of the leaders. Mike Mitchell has slumped hard in hitting, and is far down in the list, whereas, a few weeks ago, the ex Portland player was leading the league. Larry McLean continues to hit well.

Napoleon 'Lajoie continues to be the American League's premier hitter, for the big Frenchman with the Cleveland Club is hitting so close to the .400 mark that it seems a shame not to credit him with that mark. Tyrus Ray mond Cobb, the Detroit whirlwind, is also batting at a lively clip, while Ted Easterly, a former Pacific Coast League player, is among the top notchers. Jack Graney, the former Portlander, who was hitting poorly with Cleveland earlier in the season, has commenced sticking with a vengeance .of late. In stead of being far in the ruck of those not hitting .200, as was the case a few weeks back. Graney is now credited with an average of .235, which is some climb In that company.

JEFFRIES Despite Agitation for Return Mill Public Seems to AVarlt Boiler maker to Stay on Farm. Kaufman Thought Joke. BY W. J. PETRAIN. Jack Johnson, the colored champion heavyweight of the world, seems to be the most anxious person In the world when it comes to grooming a man to succeed himself as the premier slugger of the universe. Jack has been issuing vocal selections in several Eastern cities In which he slns the praises of Al Kaufman aj t'u coming heavy weight. In thus selecting the mai. who is to succeed him to the title Johnson is showing commendable consideration for the white race by refraining from picking Hank Griffin, Bob Armstrong, Sam AlcV ey, Joe Jeaiinette or some other black man who has just as much chance at winning the championship as has Kaufman. Johnson must think the public easy in telling of the wortn of Kaufman, for the Californian could not commence to beat one side of John son if the colored man fought on the square as he diu at Reno. Kaufman has been a joke for years. He gained more or less distinction by knocking out Sam Berger in a couple of rounds, and somebody, possibly Billy Delaney,' picked him as a champion. However, , the man who selected Kauf man as the coming champion, made the mistake of telling him so, and the fighter believes it to this day despite the fact that several scrappers .did their utmost to disabuse him of the as a champion is a joko. He might inherit the title as did Tommy Burns but he could not win it from the present title holder if he were to meet the black with both the latter's hands tied. Jack Johnson has not been put to the test, and it will take a much stronger, cleverer and gamer man than Al Kaufman to- turn the trick. James J. Jeffries is said to be con templating Insisting upon a return match with his recent conqueror. Jack Johnson, and from Chicago comes a dispatch saying that Johnson, like "Bankis" "is willin'." One would nat urally suppose that Johnson would easily be the most willing of the two men, and the only mystery about the possibility Is the anxiety, If any, ex pressed by Jeffries. Some kind-hearted friend of Jeffs ought to quietly persuade the big fel low that he Is no longer a champion, nor even a championship possibility,' for to serve him up to a second slaugh ter at the hands of Johnson, might re sult disastrously to all parties con cerned. - Let Jim Jeffries spend the rest of his days fishing and hunting in his South ern California wilds, for the American public, stung to the extent of $50 a seat at Reno, will be satisfied to re main away from the next meeting, if such takes place, between these two men. Strange developments creep out among the "I told you so" squad, which Invaded Reno some few days ago, and all those who had their pictures on the front pages of the papers labeled special correspondents, are attempting to satisfy the "dear readers" that they did not pick Jeffries to win. Of course they did not mean that Jeffries . had come back-when they posiltvely assert ed that the big white man was never in better form for a fight than he was when he met Jack Johnson. No, of course, they did not mean it. They just wrote it to show how clever they were at doping out a fight. They told you that Jeffries would win. but you should have bet on Johnson. Favorites in aU big ring battles have been losers for so long, that it is really funny to think of how easy some of us were when we bet on Jeff. . Tommy Tracey. 'the Portland boxing instructor, who one time held the wel terweight championship of the world, gives Billy Delaney all the credit for the victory scored by Jack Johnson. Tommy claims that Delaney had Jeff ries frightened from the moment the men stepped into the ring, and he even asserts that he believes Jeffries can beat Johnson, providing that Delaney handles the big white man instead of the black. Tommy's argument is unique, yet is it really worthy of more than passing consideration.? Think it over, for Jeff and Jack are talking of another fight. Beer, $1 doz. quarts, delivered to your horn.
