who is in England... is .anxious for a
bout with Jack Johnson.
Fltzsimmons Bavs: "Mr. Johnson will.

tie Isle and. I am hoping then to be, able
to a-et right down to- cases with him In
stead of . this long -distance cablegram
or wireless message business, .and the
sporting . fraternity can rest assured
that If Johnson and I meet In the
squared circle the ; 'C. s D. Q. message
will :not go up from ,' my corner."
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

well able to give Johnson an interest'
Ing- time if ne will give me the oppor

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
