 AsBURY PARK, N. J, Oct. ll.-I do not wish to say anything in detail about the coming match between myself and Mir Charles Mitchell, but am always willing to express myself about fighting in general and training
 My training is going on under the super vision of Billy Delaney, Professor John Donaldson, John McNay and my two younger brothers, Joe and Tom. My dogs. Ned and Bert, are help, too, though you might not suspect it.
 rise Rt o'clock and do half hour turn on the pulley weights before breakfast as an appetizer, so to speak. At 1901 sit down to the morning meal, after which at a:S0 I start the serious work of the day on the wrist machine, pulling up its weight from lS5 to 40 times. Then 1 throw the medicine ball l5 minutes, punch the bag 3O minutes am rubbed down, take few minutes rowing exercise and then go to lunch.
 Half an hour after this meal start on a l5 or l6 mile walking and running outing. This takes me about three hours. When return, play handhall and then spar with Delaney, Donaldson and NcVay in turn. A bath and a rubdown follow, when din- ner is served. After that mild Perfecto cigar and in the evening pool and billiards with the boys. This is the routine for one day. Some days there are variations from this, but not material ones.
 As to diet. l am simple in my eating al ways and make no great difference in my food when training. I eat eyLs and chops and steaks and potatoes; in fact, everything that is good. do not need to reduce my weight and can therefore enjoy many things that those who run to fat must deny them selves when training I have never in dulged much in greasy, fatty foods or liq- uors and so do not miss them when put ting myself into condition.
 When not in training, weigh about lQS or 200 pounds and do not lose more than from four to ten pounds during my prep arations for match. do not try to lose weight at all, for a certain amount of ayoir- dupois is needed, and the reduction that comes is entirely incidental.
 do my hardest work at the beginning of period of training; not that I exert myself more at that time, but it comes hard to train severely until one gets used to it. Six weeks after begin training for a big contest lay of for a week aud take on some fat. During this week of relaxation do no training whatever About three or four weeks befure the fight do this again and believe that the breaking away from harl training iS an excellent thing. It pre- vents a man from getting stale and worn out
 My handball exercise is for the muscles of the back and stomach and also for the hands and legs. The value of the boxing exercise is apparent. My sparring partner wears a rubber jacket blown up with air in such a way as to give him inches of protection, and this enables me to go at him hammer and tongs and strike as haryl and will have n tendency to keep me in such trim that 1t will not tire me 10 do'harl snd fast fighting when the real contest comes of
 My wrestling k done with the idea of giving me ruggedneSS and strength, and this exercise is not child's play, can as sure you. Very often your opponent in & fight will cliuch with you and put all his weight on you and try tu tire you out by pulling you around. My walking and run | ming are to give me steadiueSs Of legs, good | wind and good staying powers The wrist machines and the pulley weights I con l siGer valuable adtunctS, as they 50 develop ] the muscles of mans arms-if persistent ! ly used-that they are not likely to tire in battle. The punching bag. too, is a great l help in this direction.
 1 When was younger, did not fully ap- preciate the value of the bag though my trainer constantly urged 1t upon me. Dur ing one of my fights I began 10 get very ] tired in my arms at the end of the fifteent h round, and then wished in my heart had given more attention to the bag. Fortu-
