Bob Edgren Says That PKila delphian Ha Nerve to Think , of Jeffries. , ' ' IRISHMAN THINKS TflA WEIGHT MATTERS LITTLE Writer Asserts That Jeff Could Tike on a Kins Full of Fighters Like . Burn and O'Brien and Beat the - Entire Bunch. ' T VI outpointed Burns, I think, but I wai 4 little -too light (or him. Hereafter I ehsll fight in the middleweight class." Thf what Jack O'Brien bad to say for himself after the fight with Burns on -Thanksgiving eve. . When you take this statement and compare it with what he said to me a - few months ago. Jack looks very much like a Joke-- living monumental Joke, says Bob Edgren In the World. ' Jack called In to see ma and talk about his ."championship." Ha put his silk hat on a bookcase, placed his cans and hla gloves carefully on top af my desk, aat down In a chair and began: "As for Jeffries" "Yon don't - mean to tell ma that you'd have the nerve to fight Jeffries!" I exclaimed. : Jack looked severely pained. - "Certainly I would fight Jeffries! I'd . be very glad to fight Jeffries If I could persuade him to reenter the ring. Why notr It would be easy for me!" . "But Jeffries weighs 150 pounds!" eeicl L. "Why, you" - "Weight makes no difference!" re plied O'Brien. . "His weight would han dicap him. I'd be -so much faster that I oould easllyjab Mm and keep out of range until Hiadhtg!'sclosed, Tike Kuafmsnn's In Ban lTancleeo, - and then" j Now O'Brien thinks that he is "a lit tle light" to' fight such a man as Tom my Bums height i feet T inches; weight, 171 pounds. reebla slenvywelghle. Z-r' -If the O'Brien-Burns fight showed , nothing also it proved conclusively that the present crop of American heavy weights Is a feeble, scrawny ' output Imagine either Burns or O'Brien In a ring with .Torn -Sharkey-or-Bob Flts stmmons as they were five or els years sgo. Imagine O'Brien or Burns pitted against a John I Sullivan, a Petsr Ma rie r, s Ous Ruhlln. a Kid McCoy. What would Jim Corbett do to' either of these fistic Jokes? ' (Neither Burns nor O'Brien would be able to atay a round with Fits or Shar key In Horton law -form. And as for Jeffries why, Jeff "could take on a whole ring full of them battle royal, with all the O'Brien-Burnees fighting against Jeff st onceand Jeff would wallop them all, out and chuck them through the ropes one after another toieane, . , , ' ..Take a couple of tnlnutee off and fig-' ore things out sclentlfcally. Fighting In the Myle affected by Burna and O'Brien 4n thla encounter, each man landed at least 10 blows to the round. "Twenty would .be a very conservative estimate, for while O'Brien did a lot of running,' Burn - was ' after him an the time, and Jack was forced to fight fast to save himself. "The average number of blows landed being 10 to the round, for instance. and 10 rounds being fought each . man i.if ntfat mini-,.. .1.. k...i-. erobi 400 times during tha battle. Many of these blows naturally, didn't reach danger spots. But scores of them did and there waa no knockout. There wasn't even a knockdown. : Now compare that with tha work of tha real champions. To begin with Sul livan, hew many tlmss would John L. have been forced to hit a 170-pound man to put him out? ' ' ' Xa Other Bays. j "Not 100 by a long shot. Ones in a while a 140-potinder went four rounds with Sullivan but not often. And ths fellows who gave him longer fights Were giants and near-champions Jim Corbett might have hit a man like Sullivan or Jim Jeffries 400 times without finishing him. Probably he did land that number of blows on Sullivan in New Orleans. But Corbett was al most a novice, fighting a giant whose name was a - terror all throughout the world. Corbett was extremely cautious. When he did meet a little fellow, like Tommy Bums - or x5"Brln that was Charlie Mitchell he . landed the' final punch within three 'founds. And Cor bett didn't punch Mitchell 400 times to do It, either. After thst Corbett began to lose class syillllUIIXnZCTUCNIHIIB ! National T;: Sweet Wine?

Fits merely followed Corbett around and around the ring, doggediyjwaAc.hingr XT-.a enema 16 puT In a' knockout Ha didn't land one blow in ten landed by O'Brien or Burns, but when he got .bis opening in the 14th he ahot home a thump mat waa heard 'round tha world. Remember when Fits fought Sharkey? Twe rounds that was. .Did Fits hit Thomas 400 -times? Not Quite. About 10 or II times, perhaps. And Sharkey wss tougher than O'Brien and Burns rolled into one. How many times did Fits Jilt, 1 us.. Ruhlln the week before In the six rounds that OusTastedTt vary many. Fits waited for his ebance and finished Qua la wallop. Sharkey In his best days put Ruhlln out-with one pane h. He did the same to Mexican Pete Everett.' He put out McCoy the only , 140-pound, man he ever fought in 10 rounds, and that night McCoy '- would . have whipped OBncn and Burns in five, rounds each. . Pater Maher.was a real heavyweight and a good one. Big Joe Kennedy came east after beating Ruhlln and ., was matched against Peter, . who was ' al ready "on the slide." ' Kennedy, tagged Peter for one round. When he came out tor the second, Peter put one over and Kennedy slept for hslf an hour. uimw w mm wvvv. . j Ruhlla was good once. He put Peter Maher out in two 'rounds and Sharkey out in 11. And these were big fellows no wu-pounaere. - : And Jeff. Why,' Jeff doesn't waste punches st a 400 clip. At least he didn't alter he "got onto hlmaelf." , 1 saw Jeff In San Pranolsoo nearly wauop for Dei t in tha second round, end then save him and teas him along for eignt more just to i give the crowd run for Its money. Jeff showed what a finisher he could be when he wsnted to once. . Jack Munroa waa the victim. Make no mistake Jack was a tough nut to crack. Jeff cracked him In a round and a wallop. Jeff never fought any 170-pounders, except the great and only Bob Fltsslramons. Hs didn't waste nearly half a thousand punches on Fits at that. - . There may be a real heavyweight champion somewhere; but hs Is etm loading trucks or shoeing horses. - YESTERDAVSHACINGIJN THE COUNTRY'S TRACKS (Jearul 'Special Servtet.) San Francisco, Dec 7.

The interest in ths Hunt .club rldss is increasing at an encouraging rata.

Now comes Tom McRath and a board of di rectors and officers that Intsnd to main tain the good work dons by Mr. Downing.- Proof of the present Interest is the announcement of a chasa for1 ene week from Saturday. " It has not been definitely decided whether or not the club will hold a big run on New Tear's day.
