Jeffries Johnson Fight Fading Money Posts Create No Binding
The $5000 stakes for Jeffries and Johnson are held by different editors, leaving no binding obligation. Jeffries posted with the New York Evening World editor and Johnson with the Chicago Examiner editor, with funds to transfer to the New York Journal. No agreement exists unless both men accept conditions, and either can withdraw. The fight remains uncertain, though Jeffries has the stronger initial position. If Johnson travels to New York and Jeffries is present, new developments could arise.
