This outburst on .the part of Fit was Induced by .the report that John son Js out with a deft to Jeffries and all other men with heavyweight cham plonshlD ambitions. Further. - Johnson said that owlnar to his vaudeville work he would be unable, to fight for some months ior perhaps a year save for his contest with-Itangford. Fits sarcastically asks: "I wonder If Johnson thinks that I shall be much less desirous In a year from now than I'am at the present time? The chances are ' that I ' shall be, for age is bound to tell sometime. Juet at present I an) only as . old as I feel, and I feel well able to give Johnson an interest' Ing- time if ne will give me the oppor tunlty at an early date." Fltzsimmons Is of the oolnion that If Jeffries fiehts Johnson, the negro will have no chance. He says: "IX John son and Jeffries meet It will not be Jeffries fighting, for the heavyweight championship, . but It will be Johnson fighting, the real heavyweight- cnam pion or the world, a title won in battle and not won by default, something tfuiuiBuii jis not yei none in ms ca reer.
