THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9, 190. WHO WILL TIGHT JAMES JEFFRIES? Jim Wants to Punch Somebody but Cannot Find a Suit able Opponent. HE WILL NOT MEET ANY COLORED BOXER Out of the Big List of Fighter Johnson Is the Only Ap propriate Man. Jtro Jeffries la In a peculiar position. He to a pugilist who .wants to ftuht. but cannot secure an appropriate man to meet htm. Such a declaration from a heavyweight champion a few years ago was unheard of. Any big man at the top of his class who even agreed to fight once a year or twice in three years would be hailed as a freak. "When Corbett was champion he first defended his title when he fought Charlie Mltcneu in 1894, two years after be won bis laurels from John U Sullivan. And be did not battle again for the belt until he met Bob Kltxslmmons at Carson City Nev., In 1897, or three years later. Jef fries Is anxious to put on the gloves, but there are no opponents worthy of his steel for htm to conquer. A few days ago a report came from San Fran cisco that Jeffries had decided to over look his prejudice to meeting negroes nnU would take on Jack Johnson or Ban Francisco some time next spring. It appears that this announcement was premature. Now Jeffries, In an inter view, denies that be has any such In tent Ion. He adds that he Intends to , keep his resolution not to fight black men and that no persuasion In the world will force htm to lift the ban he has placed on the men of color. Rather than swap punches with' a negro Jef fries says he will go without an en gagement and retire from the ring. Some promoters are lying awake nights trying to concoct a scheme whereby they can discover an eligible opponent for Jeffries. In looking over the meager supply Of heavyweights there is no big man who has the right to meet Jeffries, outside of Johnson. There are a few who could be matched against the bollermaker, but they would not attract a corporal's guard on their own reputations against Jeffries. Per haps Tommy Ryan may step into the breach and meet Jeffries. Ryan wants to fight the champion, but the public will not have much use for Ryan for awhile after his shady six-round bout with Jack Root at Philadelphia the other night. Jeffries will not be censured now if he does not treat Ryan's defl seriously. He must fight some one, It Is true, but no reputable matchmaker can afford to give Ryan a chance again until at least he offers a plausible ex cuee for his poor showing against Root. Kven should Jeffries retire, who Is there to succeed him as champion? In reality there to no man outside of Boh Fltxsimmons who could be mentioned in the same breath with Jeffries as a fighter Fits to rapidly reaching the notch when he will be too old to fight and cope successfully with even some of the third rate heavyweights now in the field. Jim Corbett. a clever man and all that, is out of it. John Willie of Chicago, who gave Jack O'Brien such a beating the other night. Is a good tan. bat la too light. He only weighs 170 pound in trip. Jack Root, a fair man, Is VrUHrT Ulsflr MerT11 But his essay with Ryan has "queered" him. Like Willie, he is not heavy enough. Tom Sharkey, Joe Choynskl and Peter Matter are not to be considered, for it to admitted that they have seen their best days. Taking all theae facta into consideration, who la there to wear Jef fries' crown should the Ios Angeles pugilist keep bto word and step down and out?

"The ring history of Battling Nelson Is one which to calculated to make any struggling young boxer take a fresh grip on life and start in with redoubled energy. A Dan by raoe, with the yel low hair and blue eye of hi nation, Nelson came up from Hegewlsch some four year ago in search of combat. He had a groat phyalque, and that was about all. He knew as much of the fine points of the game aa a baboon doe of logarithms. lie fought at atags and battled In cheap prelims, for S10 purses. Sometimes he lost," say a writer in the Chicago Journal. "Against Joe Hedmark. on on occa sion, he fought so poorly and Bought the floor ao often that the house rose and booted at him. He went to Milwaukee and Charlie Berry beat him two or three time. He fought Kddle Santry, now hla trainer, at the old Pyramid club, and Eddie filled his rauaxle with mushy mittens. But through It 'all the Dane was learning. The strength was there, the punch was there, tne heart was there, and he absorbed knowledge a sponge absorbs water. "Nelson was so little, thought of here that no' club Would glv him a decent semi-wlndup. He' a good, tough boy, but h won't draw any money,' was tho way they used to put It. Up in Mil waukee they took a liking to the Dane. and the chance given Bat at Milwaukee were really what started him on the upward grade. He beat George Memslc in Milwaukee, and lot to Charlie Neary. Then he decided to take a chance in the wool l y west. "Nelson and his manager, Ted Mur phy, hiked to the cosst and got a light with Spider Welch. He proved easy for the now hardened Dane, and Nelson was given a cbanc with Martin Canole, an eastern lightweight of fine repute. To the surprise of the wise one. Bat, who waa now Improving at a wondrou clip, knocked Canole out after a fearful fight. Then came Eddie Hanlon, the pride of the coast. Down and out with Eddie, and Hanlon was enthroned as a veritable marvel. One man remained to beat William Roth well Young Corbett. The match was made, and Nelson showed that he to the most Improved boxer and moat progressive fighter the country ha seen In many year. "Nelson will next fight Hritt. and will whip Brltt, too. Ho will doubtless come home for a visit in the near future, and a royal welcome will be given him by the Chicago sports who, a faw years back, couldn't even see him. "It is not at all unpleasant to add that Nelson Is, personally, a decent. well-spoken little fellow; that he takee fine care of his parent, and that ha has Invested his winnings In property. which is the home of his old folks. Mat's eyes sre not strong, and he wears glasses much of the time. To see the quiet, eye-glaaed little fellow walking round the town, no one would auapect that he was the conqueror of a string of lighters, and the man who now looks tike the coming champion of light weights at the good old limit of lit. "Hats off to Nelson, and a glad hand to Hegewlsch, famed now for Nelson and arson!

After much delay in the negotiations the Multnomah-Corvallla football match scheduled for Chrlstmaa afternoon In this city was finally arranged yesterday. Yesterday morning the proposed mutch was called off on account of the failure of both manager to reach a suitable agreement, but in the afternoon Man nger Stlmaon called up Manager Watklna on the telephone and stated that Cor vallls would accept the terms ottered by Multnomah, and that he would sign the contract, as soon as it was for wa rded. This assures a first-class attraction for Christmas, and while it took a long time to perfect the deal, the delay v.aa worth while, as the Oregon Agrlcs will bring the strongest team that Multno muli has met in Portland this year, cor vallls will be greatly strengthened in this match by the presence of Captain Pllkinaton.
