(lETUeiifJEffBIES, His Announcement to Meet John son Makes Fight Fans Happy Will the negro chance it? Big 'JimV Ability to Get Back Into Fighting Trim Agaiia May Dlacour ago the Ethiopian Outlook For a Battla Batwaan Them. Tbe tblck, heoTy clouds which have overcast too flstlc Leavens since jaea Johnson won the Learywelght cham pionship from Tommy Bums were broken when Jim jennes, me mvu title holder, announce! bis Intention of re-entering the rlnj and meeting the Ethiopian. For almost four months Jeffries has maintained a ephlnxllfee ei- ryyrtrvYwfa Ifi' XJLTBST PHOTO OF IvrF PRACTICMQ WITH M.EPICISS BA-LL. lence relative to the eternal question, "Will you fight Johnson 7' and his de cision to face the Senegamblan came as unexpected and Joyful tidings to the snbjects of King Pugilism. The sporting public of this country and throughout the English speaking world, for that matter, has been wait ing patiently for this declaration ever since Johnson became the heavyweight champion. That Jeffries is sincere In bis deter mination to fight the negro champion there Is not the slightest doubt He has fully satisfied himself that he can train Into condition for a battle. lie will no doubt require several months In which to prepare himself. It will be Interesting to note now what John son will do. lie has all along pretend ed that Jeffries was the one man ha was anxious to fight It will now be seen whether or not he was sincere. That Johnson ever believed he could beat Jeffries at the time the latter re tired from the ring la extremely doubt ful. The question now comes up, can he persuade himself to think so at this time In case he finds Jeffries to be his former self when he meets blm? John son Is by no means a fooL He has traveled much and mingled with worldly people. He perhaps under stands the position he will occupy when he meets Jeffries as well as any man In the country. He must realize that he will be carrying a tremendous handicap In the way of racial preju dice, lie will not only be opposed by a white man, but by one of the most popular prize rlii champions this coun try has ever had. It will be a case of a popular white prize ring Idol against a black man who is not especially pop ular even with his own race. All these things Johnson has no doubt considered fully. He will have to have more than a stout heart when he faces Jeffries to be able to fight his battle. lie will realize when he faces the big fellow that be Is not meeting a Marvin Hart, Gunner Moir or Tommy ISurns. tie will be confronted by a veritable grizzly bear, who has never been knocked down, let alone being de feated In a prize ring encounter. That In Itself will more than likely cause Johnson to think twice before he leads once, and It might be that while he If engaged In thinking Jeff will book one across that will do the trick. The pictures of the Ilurns-Johnson fight show that the negro beat the white man In the clinches. Should Johnson elect to pursue a similar plan of battle when ho meets Jeffries he'll no doubt realize before he has traveled very far that he Is on the wrong trail. Johnson will not beat Jeffries In the clinches, and as he showed himself to be anything but a wonder at long range when he fought Burns predict ing the outcome of a battle between him and Jeffries doesn't seem to bf such a difficult task after all. Many things, however, are likely to occuj between now and the time Jeffries an Johnson meet in the ring that Is, pro Tided they ever do. THE WEATHER. Forecast for Goldsboro and Vicin ity.

('eniproiui.se of fl-0 ou Lumber. Washington, D. C, May 1. All ef forts to get free lumber in the tariff bill have been abandoned, and despite the attacks which have been made by Senator Nelson and others upon the so-called lumber trust, it is probable the Senate will advance the duty to $1.50 a thousand. This figure is a compromise between the present rate of $2 and $1 fixed in the House bill. The Democrats are largely respon sible for this added protection to the industry.
