Ilia
.iamo J. Jefflee, former champion
- Rlllst of the world; Frank Ontch, cham
pion wrestler of the world; Farmer Burns,
re st wrestler of hla yeara and weight In
ttie world, and their company of fifteen
wristVrsi, boxers and vaudeville attifits
l olled Into Omaha at noon and were, quar
ter' d at the Hit.kIibw ready for their blK
txhihlilnn at the Audtlorium.
Fsrmir BurYis has taken the place of Dr.
H. F. Holler In the all-slur aggregation,
the doctor having abandoned the tour.
With the troupe Js Jack McCoimack, the
pugilist, who haa fought bo many ring
buttl' i and on several occasions whipped
Kid McCoy. There are six wrestlers in the
crowd and three vaudeville team.
Jeflrlea refused to predict what he was
going to do to Jack Johnson, simply say
ing :
"Look, for yourself and see whether you
tr.lnk I am In condition to fight. I weigh
fifteen pounds less than I ever did while
traveling: on the road, although I haw
picked up a few pound since leaving the
Houth, ax the bad weather 'and the con
tinual Jumps on the trains make It hard
to do any road work, and 1 have done liule
lately except the work in the exhibitions."
, Jeffries looked the part, with his ruddy
complexion and splendid condition. He hus
worked away all the large stomach which
worried so many of his admirers when the
tight was first talked of.
Bnrna Will Fee 'En All.
' "This Is the greatest combination of
world champions ever put together," saiu
Farmer Burns, as he awaited with li ir.
automobile tor .lie two big champa.
"Mollii-i hn.s iixid up a little Clerinan
.boll, il dinner m me bouse and 1 am going
to lae the boys out to get runiellunt; goou
to eat, but uu must Hot tay uny luiug
1 Ui.ou. ij'Ui the paper. We have not
l.;iii up Just who will wrestle tonight, but
un me iioj s will wrestle some one, und
tno pei pie will see a great show."
The Farmer lives in Omaha.
' Jeffries said the show combination would
continue for about a month and then he
would begin more strenuous work la an
ticipation of his bout with Jack Johnson
July 4.
Jeff is still1 a man of mystery as far as
most of the fight fans are concerned, be
cause It is recorded that heretofore no
nun who bus been retired as long as the
big follow hus been able to come back
to his former condition. Hid actions to
. night will be watched with gnat interest
by those who have seen him in his gicat
battles, or even by those who have seen
him on the stage in his prime. The pessi
mists still refuse to believe that Jetfiles
can come back and win laurels from the
present champion.
Those, who, doubt his physical condition
tire piotty apt to change their minds when
.hoy see the big fellow In action tonight,
for he looks to be In the best of health
and condition.
