Copyright, 114, by the Prewe Put RES COLUMN eident—sometimes Situation with supposed “contenders’ themselves exclusively to short no-decision bouts, fighter of to-day isa or twenty years a, Jess Willard lo champion than any of the others, and We don't really know how good Jess te and how he would compare with the best of the old-timers, 1 would olass him below Jim Jeffries, who won the championship in his tenth fight, and who met several pretty good men in the other nine, Jeffries was a more powerful man than Willard, al- though four or five inches shorter @nd about twenty-five pounds lighter when in his best fighting condition, Jeff's strongth was aniasing. He was tremendously muscular all over and had a world of speed and unlimited endurance. Jeffries could stand an amount of work that would make Willard very weary, judging by the training I have seen them both do for championship fights. Jeffries thought mothing of covering ten or fifteen miles on @ run, and he'd run at a fast clip nearly the entine distance, Although he weighed about 225 Pounds stripped and was all muscle, ® great athletic authority, Walter Christy, told me that he believed bh oould train Jeffries to run 100 yard: in 10 seconds flat. Jeffrie: had speed. When be was a youngster training with Jim Corbett, while Cor- Bett was preparing for his fight with Fitzsimmons, Jeffries could run away from the lighter champion on the road and easily beat him sprinting. Jeffries became @ very effective boxer, and he bad a tremendous wallop when he ‘wanted to use it. He could hit fully as hard with @ left hook as with a right. The only man who ever ex- tended him in a fight was Fitzsim- superior to all other heavyweights that no one could give him eno: of a fight to make it interesting to t! peice. When Jeffries tried to “come ack,” six years later, he was a dl ferent map from the iron giant of the “earlier days. HOW JEFFRIES AND WILLARD COMPARE. Willard might be as great as Jef- fries if he had the fighting to do that made Jeffri Standing 6 feet 7 inches and weighing 250 pounds in d condition, his bulk alone makes im formidal And he has speed and knowledge of boxing. But Wil- lard isn't the surly, aggressive fighter Jetf was. He isn't naturally a fight- ing man. He's buimorous and good natured. A fight looks like a joke to him, Even the fight in Havana couldn't keep the smile from Willard’ face, and he laughed several tim Hes. We don't know ex- class Willard, because he will retire from the ring beca’ lacks the real fighting spirit th: kes a champion like to show his Willard is lazy. He's fond of an easy life. He is making a lot of money in a circus. He's satisfied and is growing fat, When Jeffries was champion he fought often, Willard won't do it, THE PRESENT MIDDLEWEIGHT) CHAMPION 18 A JOKE.
