But within the past few days he has declared un equivocally that in hi opinion Jeffries v is making a most serious mistake in ' neglecting to maliKjjis sparring part - - -'iters do more work.

A Trankenstein that Is the best word can ali to mind. The story of the roan who. made that machine that did, and talked, and saw, and heard, and all that sort of thing, Is an uncanny tale. Toti remember the end, where" the ma chlrie got beyond control. It was terri ble. - . - Twice it seemed to me that Johnson lipped a cog. Once was wnen ne was boxing Kid ' Cotton In the afternoon, They "'came into a clinch. They had clinched much during that round, and Johnson Was wonderful to watch aa he bandied that other big man as though the other were a baby, as though he (Johnson) were a neern mummy saying good .naturedly :'There.. M st!ll." -.- - Ferocity Buss Amuck. Handling -the big yotmg negro that way, Johnson smiled. The indicator was showing full power oh, and all running smoothly under that silky black skin. The Uneless face smiled, the white teeth daszled between .the bits of gold. Then Cotton held on, while Johnson strove to heave him away. -Of course, it was only make believe fight; lng, but Cotton held the very best way he waiable, J6TinsonTSaTdorTffor a second.

He-was too fine to suggest the animal; too strong and quick and perfect to make one think of a boy. He was a wonderful and a beautifully constructed black Franken stein, all that at his work. . At play, he was like a boy. He chased chickens to amuse the people, and to fill the film for the picture machines, and he smiled happily and laughed. Xdaxdy Bearing Outside the Ring. Again, when he had occasion to ask a personal enemy to leave his camp, he showed another side. He did the ttn writh dignity. He carfled it off with a degree of repression worthy of any man. And when, moving about the grounds, ne talked with his training camp crew and 'showed seriousness, or. forth. 'The resistance was terrible dur lng that instant The machine did not move smoothly, unhindered. The smile vanished.- In its place came for that bare instant ferocrty.
