Jeffries vows heavyweight return if Squires defeats Burns Schreck
Special to The Washington Poet Los Angeles April 25 James J Jeffries says he will return to claim the heavyweight title if Bill Squires defeats Burns Schreck and the American challengers. He intends to retire otherwise but would come back should Squires best the American fighters and win the crown. He notes his wife’s wish to travel Europe and that he will not force a return unless necessary to prevent a foreigner holding the title.
