-In an interview with Nat Fleischer, Jeffries claimed
the fight took place, but in the book, Two-Fisted Jeff,
he said it was not a real boxing match, only a "rough
and tumble wrestling" match on Santa Monica beach:
"One Sunday we [Jeff and Barber] went to the beach
in Santa Monica and were loafing around in our bathing
suits. In some way we starting scuffling, grabbed hold
of each other, and from play we went at it to see which
was the better man. We fought and wrestled all over that
beach, tore up half an acre of sand and gravel and when
we were finally finished we were skinned from head to
foot where the sand and gravel had rasped us like a file.
We were both all in, but Barber, panting, said: 'By gosh,
Jim, it's lucky they didn't get us to fight. You're a
better man than I am.' Until then I had thought of him
as the strongest man in California and to beat him at
rough and tumble wrestling settled the matter. That
night I made up my mind finally, to be a fighter. If
I was strong enough to beat Jim Barber, I need fear
no one."
