tirement ns tlie "white mini's hope"
and beaten by Jack .Johtfon at Kcn.i,

(By James J. Jeffries)
- I intend what is written here shall
be an ultimatum, the tenor of which
cannot ho misinterpreted. It is my
hope that the public at large will con
sider this my iinal word on a sub
ject that has caused me enormous
pnrsonnl inconvenience. I refer to
the question of whether 'I shall ever
enter the ring again.
1 .shall not attempt to say how
many times j have answered tliat
query during the last six month?.
Hardly a day has gone by witlioul
the question being pui to me. Day
after day I have answered il ser
iously and truly. 1 have stated that
I shall never enter another ring. Tlu
newspapers and the public have re
fused to accept my word. At lensl
I must believe they have in view of
the fact that after answering the
question, I have in the next hour,
been asked identically thoame'quefc
t ton.
It hns comelo tho point where
I and tho members of my houHebob1
respond to the door bell ring with
the reply to the question on our lips
If someone were to lest your patience
by asking you a certain question, say,
day i and day out, bow long do yor
think you could go to the door or th'
telephone, hear tho question asker1
and answer it without losing your
temper? For half a year, do you
think?
"11 would bo difficult to en!nw
what it is to go through such an
experience. In my case, instead ol
ope person putting the question each
day the query has conic from intuitu
rruble sources. What I want ti sin
is that while the question of whcthei
T ever would fjght anolb'r In' tie lui

upon hundreds of different occasions
