WHEN CHAMPION JEFFRIES BLUFFED JACK JOHNSON Discussing Jack O'Brien's challenge to Jeffries, Bob Edgren recalls this good story; . You remember, what Jeff said when he was pestered by "Mlsto Johnslng" In San Francisco. It waa In Harry Cor bett'a place. Jeff waa standing there talking to Harry when In walked John son and his manager. Jeff looked - Johnson over for a mo ment, then walked up close to him. "I hear you say I m afraid to fight you. he remarked. Mr. Johnson drew back a pace. "Oh, no, Mister Jeffries. It ain't dat I'd Jess like to make a match wlf you, and you don't seem anxious to fight me nohow. , - Jeff turned to Harry Corbet f "Harry, give me S,000.'-" - finny opened -the safe In the oornaty searched it carefully and produced the money,' Jeff took the big roll oruills. counted It and handed It back to Corbett again. "Now," he said to Johnaon, "you say I don't want to fight you." Well, we'll go right downstairs here Jnto the cellar. Bee? Right down Into the cellar. All alone. -If you come up first you go to Harry here and he'll give you thla 15,- 000.' (To CorbettlaM'.'Harry. you un- de ra t aiid KieTT i'6ge X" fie""TlveTT ne" comes up first." (TJMIng to Johnson again) "If I tome out-first I'll agree to donete thlsa money to the hospital that taaes care of you. Now, if you're so anxious to fight, -font right down Into the cellar."l Mr. Johnson turned gray. As soon aa he could find his tongue he stammered; "Deah Mister Jeffries! I ain't no cellar-fighter? Nor tndeedf I won't go into no cellar- 1 Juet wan' to fight you In a ring, with plenty of people around and a referee. No, indeed, Mlstsr Jeff ries. I aJn't no cellar fighter."

I The most popular games with our American cousins are baseball and foot ball, and what English visitor who has been, present at one or-the other will ever forget the- experience? --It would be safe to aay- that there Is only one other form of "sport" that could so try his nerves, and that ths national pas time of tho "Dons"; there is blood spilt also on tbe American football "campus" -'-only In the first Instance. It Is bull's blood.- Oar TootbaU dams.

But no, the girls are quite the most enthusiastic supporters of the game, and seem totally . indifferent to the unlovely getup of the players.

' To the uninitiated the only variant provided la the carrying out of one or more of the players with Injuries that as often as -not count the victims out of football-forever. It la reserved for very few among the in jured In American football to coma out of a tight place so happily aa did young Roosevelt on a recent occasion; when he entered tha game he had a crooked nose, when he came out someone had Btmlghtened It for him! Avoirdupois and ."devil": do not count for so much In 'baseball; nevertheless, the position of umpire Is said to be one of the shortest roads from the "Land of the Free" to the 'life beyond." Certainly, from . the remarks be- must overhear (la Intended to overhear), he Is not likely to get "stuck on himself." Every man's hand on the ground, spec tator and player alike, is .against him, geuerally. of courae. In a metaphorical aenso only, - Almost incessantly blood curdling yells from one section or other of the ground are evoked by his de cisions. . "Umpire, you're rotten." "Oh, you thug." "Go whla. do you hear the dog's decision T" "Go home, you guy, and throw stones at yourself." "Hold me back, or I'll kill the skunk." - These are the mild terms of endear ment with which he is encouraged to perform his difficult duties hissed from the grand stand with as much venom as from the "bleachers" (cheap seats in the open).

Tell your American friend that this la "unsportsmanlike," and he sim ply does not comprehend your meaning. The ITatUmal Pastime. Americans at a baseball game seem to be there for one object only to see their own side win. ' They have "no use" for anything ahort of victory.', It were Idle to remind them that their fellows "put up a splendid game, but were out classed." The spectators appear lndlf ferent to the . "form'j)fthe visiting team; that they are not really so. how-x ever; but their chief concern la the "form" of their own men. . If not too excited or chagrined by the display of the home team, they will give generous recognition to good play by the visitors; hence the strange result teams playing better -when away from home. The nerve tension la too racking on the home ground, thanks to the presence of tbe mnrcllaaa rrttlca knnwn .. their "supporters." No-itorm of sport In ths great west ern repubiio takes on the strenuousness associated with the country as does the "noble are of . self-defense.". In . the thre round bouts, now so popular there In the "athletic clubs." the spectators pay little or no attention to "point a" They pay their money "to see the boys slug each nt her- good and ha fd." The popularity of the "mlt artists", rises with their reputation for giving and taking a "snaking." Finessing may be all very welk for the old, effete coun tries, but here "not on your life."

The goose hangs high and tbe wind blowa low. While I am not with you In person I am with you In spirit. This place baa too many steam beer Jolnta to ault me I mean to ault the players so I tblnk I can already see some trouble or something else brewing. Keep a close watch on Jontie and the Judge during thla frigid spell and I shall ndt forget thee. While things appear bright on tho horlaon, I ban look a little farthsr, and methinka I perceive dark spots ' In the pennant firmament. - It will be try utmost en deavor to eradicate them before they Teach proportions too amaxlng to han-4 die. The streets here are made or wood, so the boys will have to wear shoes In early training, bo aa not to get splinters In their tootsies. My feet are so hard that I could dance on a floor of nails without experiencing the slightest pain. Thla ta due primarily to the fact that I have feet, and sec omlarlly to the physical aasumptlon TTutr"tW0"0ttdB tniiut uucupy the same place at the same time. This rule ap plies in baseball aa well aa In geome- trix or trlgonometrlx. and the fallacy of anything to the contrary la too appar ent to be even abaurd. I eould never 'associate any aane mathematlca with that rough game known aa football. While It Is true ths players use a lot or numbers like- T,-4,-2;- and a -series of letters like X, Y, Z. I. P., there Is nothing In their meaning to Indicate that anything Is meant but a bumping ot heads. In the national pastime the only ' person to receive ,: any bumpa la the umpire, For proof; of thla asser tion 1 would refer yotr' to "Bull" Per rlne. Rube Levy, Brown, Ed Rankin and Sammle Vlgneua. These men can tes tify with a j posit! veness that would challenge contradiction. I left out Jon tie's name because I think you are giv ing him undue publicity. He la already better known around the circuit than the Judge and L and aa Caesar would stand for no- sharing of bis glory. , raven PealerV Pre!ts) H-evoerta AaluCterauea ,. 20 Wehle 1 stale stales cast, wits a SiarMtethaweoetsnta.
