IDAV, Jl'LY 8, 1910 ROGUE UVER COURIER PAGE X1XE :.ro:iv of fight TOLI BY BOUNDS ?.Sr Taunt Jeffries and Corbett While Chopping the ex Clnunpioii's Face. "Too Much Johnson" was origin ally, the title of a farce. Today It tames a. tragedy of sportdom. An analysis of the sentiment expressed ty the sporting men. While the bat tle certainly cleared up Johnson's re cord in a number of respects, and while the black man showed many of the elements of a true sport, it is doubtless if a less popular champion ever held the title. But popular or otherwise, Johnson is every inch the champion, and in the whole galaxy of ring stars on Land yesterday probably the great est assemblage of the kind ever brought together, there was not one fit to shy his castor Into the ring. After the big fight the following statements were given out by the principals: Johnson's Statement. "I won from Mr. Jeffries because I outclassed him in every depart ment of the fighting game. Before I entered the ring I was certain I would win. I never changed my r.ind at any time. , Jeffries' blows had no steam be tlnd them, so how could he hope to defeat me. With the exception of a slight cut on my lower lip, which was really caused by an old wound being struck, I am unmarked. I heard people at the ringside remark about body blows being Inflicted upon me. I do not recall a single punch in the body that caused me any discomfort. I am in shape to "battle again tomorrow if It were ne cessary. "One thing I must give Jeffries credit for is the game battle he made. He came back at me with the heart of a true fighter XT ao man can say Tie did not do his best." Jeffries' Statement "I lost my fight because I did not j liave the snap of youth I , used to liave. I believed In my own heart that all the old-time dash was there, but when I started to execute, the. speed and the youthful steam were lacking. The things I used to do were Impossible. For Instance, I used to shoot In a right hand body punch, a sort of a short-range blow that never used to fall me. When Ii tried it today the snap wasn't there, and It was only a love tap. "I suppose most of my trainers and helpers will say that I did not "box often enough. It wouldn't have made any difference If I had sparred a dozen more times than I did. I simply was not there, and that's all there Is to it." Details of the Battle. Bound 1. The men refused to shake hands. Johnson smiled, and Jeffries calmly chewed gum.

The men continued In a lock ed embrace and as the gong termin ated the round Johnson playfully tap ped Jeffries on the shoulder and went to his corner smiling. Jeffries then told his seconds to let him alone he would fight his own battlef It was a tame round. Hound . Johnson came up chattering like a magpie, but Jeffries only smiled.

Johnson a mo ment later followed it with two left uppercuts to the same place. John son Jarred the white with a straight left to the mouth, and they eased up in a clinch. Both men were bleeding from the mouth. Suddenly Jeffries sent the black's head back a foot with a straight left to the mouth and Johnson looked a bit serious as he took his seat, not. however, with out giving the bollermaker the cus tomary love-tap.

Koun When the men faced each other, it was plain to all that Jeffries was in distress. His face was puffed and bleeding from the punishing lefts and lights he had received and his move- ments were languid.

Johnson simply waited for the big white man to come In and chopped his face to pieces.

Jeffries staggered back against the stop the fight. I "Stop It! Stop It!" they shouted from all sides. "Don't let him be knocked out." Rlckard gave no heed to these ap peals. Jeffries was helpless now and as he staggered to a standing posl- tlon, the negro was waiting for him. A left, a right and another left, short, snappy, powerful blows, found their marks on Jeffries' chin and he went down Jnr the third time. Again he sprawled over the lower rope, hang; Ing half outside the ring. The timekeeper raised and lowered his arms, tolling off the seconds. He had reached the count of seven when sldent of Southern Oregon, arrived that section about June 2.. whhh IihI done considerable damage to the crops, which up to that time had been looking exceedingly well. Mr. Feikert stated that he thought by careful at tention he might be able to save about one-half of the crop. The hall stones were, In some Instances, al most as large as a baseball, and one which was selected weighed three quarters of a pound, aud the storm was so severe that It almost complete ly ruined some of the crops, and many house roofs were riddled by the hall stones. How does this sound to Ore gonlans, where hall storms are very seldom witnessed, and when they are. they are so slight as to amount to no more than a summer shower? In connection wlMi the disastrous storm mentioned, all the fruit In that sec tion was killed by frost earlier in the season. The Oregonlans have much to be thankful for If they could only appreciate their blessings, for we live in a country where a complete failure In fruit and crops has never been known, while the climate Is al ways mild and delightful. COLONEL ROOSEVELT DENIES REPORT Will Make Xo Statement Except Over Ills Own Signa ture. The Associated Press announced on Tuesday morning that ex-PresI-dont Roosevelt had nledged himself to support Mark Polndexter. of Washington, who is a candidate for the United States senate, as against Senator Piles, whose term of office will expire on the 4th of March next, lie Is also quoted as saying that he would nsslst In making war on Secre tary Balllnger, who Is from the same state. As soon as this special was published he sent out the following, referring to the visit to Sagamore Hill yesterday of Representative Polndexter, of Washington: "Colonel Roosevelt will see very ninny senators and congressmen, As semblymen and other public officials, representing all phases of public opinion. He declines to be respon sible for any statements except those he himself makes. He said nothing and Intends to say nothing as to any contests for a nomination. If he has anything to say on such a subject It. win be over bis own signature. "All that Mr. Roosevelt snld In this ciiBP was that he was pleased to find that, as he had expected from Mr Polndexter' past record, Mr. Poln dexter was In hearty sympathy wllh Mr. Roosevelt's views as to conserva tion and similar subjects. Mr. Roose velt expressed no opinion about the senatorial contest, and Mr. Roose velt believes Mr. Polndexter is not responsible for the statements which have pppeared. Certplnlv, Insofar as these statements have quoted Mr. Roosevelt, except ns above Indicated, thev had no foundation whatever In fact." Colonel Roosevelt's statement was called forth by the fact that he took exception to special dispatches from Oyster Bay last night, In which he was quoted directly as saying that " would support Mr. Polndexter In his contest for a seat In the United States senate. The colonel received a delegation of Plttsburgers today and promised to make an address In Pittsburg In the fall. Mis address will be on some subject bearing on civics.
