Jeffries Won't Fight Johnson Says Retired Champion
Special to The New York Times from Los Angeles reports Jim Jeffries, retired after four years, rejects any return to boxing for any inducement. He refuses to fight Johnson or any white man, noting he is through with the sport and cannot regain his former condition. Some friends believe a rare chance could push him back to challenge Johnson, but he insists there is no possibility of reentering the ring.
