Jack Dempsey fought around in the New York district two years or so ago, and made such a disaopointing showing that all the "experts" saw him in action pronounced him a joke of the most laughabie kind. Even Jim Jeffries was classed as a "false alarm" when he made his New York ring debut. Jeff had been my sparring partner for my fights with Bob Fitzsimmons.

So he made a deal with Jeffries whereby he would han- dle his interests. Jefities and Delaney went back to San § Qrancisco, and in less than a year and a half Jeff had made a great repu- tation along the Pacific coast But Jeff had ambitions: to display his prowess before a New York audi- ence,s For some months Delaney angled for-a match The best he could get was a handicap affair. Jeff- ries had to agree to knock out Steve O'Donnell and Bob Armstrong in less than ten rounds each in the same ring on the same night. O'Donnell was little more than a third rater, and Armstrong was ohly a so-so fighter, Stories that had come from the coast concerning Jeff- ries had caused the New York fans to believe that he was a "man killer," and almost every one in the big crowd that turned out to see Jeffries anticipated that he would stop both fighters without much trouble. But Jeffries failed in his effort-- and immediately the Gothamites pro- nounced him greatly overrated. But in a little more than a year they changed their views because Jeffries; in an almost meteoric fashion, rose to the absolute crest of the pugilistic world. The big Californian took on Arm- strang as the first foe in the handi- cap match on Aug. 5th, 1898-and that is as far as he got. Armstrong proved so tough for Jeffries that all the pens iar twist of fate ghters that pu- faited to make upon their York city.

And that was Jeff- ries' case The Californian showed up slow and very awkward in that. contest, and Armstrong.outboxed him through nearly all of the early rgunds The negro hit Jeffries with considerable frequency; but the white man's abil. ity to take punishment stood him in good stead. Armstrong swung through a punch that raised a lump over Jeffries' eye. By that time Armstrong- had become inspired with the belief that he was as good as Jeffries, and refused to back away from the onslaughts. Several times Jeffries sent 'home terrible smashes to the body and head of the negra, but he couldf't knock him out. In several rounds' Jeffries had the negro staggering, but couldn't put over the finishing 'punch, Whenever Armstrong was in trou- ble he fell into clinches, which Jeff- ries was unable' to shake off until Armstrong had accompijshed his pur- pose of recuperation Througlt the last two rounds Jeff- ries, in desperation, tried t& finish Armstrong, but it was useless, The big - Californian was almost as tired as_ his rival,.and his punches lacked the earlier steam, Several times he had Armstrong a bit groggy, but al- ways Armstrong fought him back in a way that balked a knockout. Jeffries was given the decision, but kis showing was so disappointing that promoters 'who bad figured on match- ing him with.

The spring and fall meetings at Aqueduct netted $40,000 for Uncle Sam As the patronage at Aqueduct was an excellent basis for a general esti- mate of the war tax on other race courses, it is believed that the meet- ings at Belmont Park, Jamaica, Em- pire City and Saratoga will have turn- ed over as much, if not more, money to the Treasury Departmeat.
