After breakfast Jim takes short walk
with his dogs or sits on the piazza of the
! ohuse for half an hour Then he takes his
| bicycle for a ten-mile spin through the
/ pretty country Oftentimes he pays
! short visit to Parson Davies, who has a
farm about 4 mile west of Asbury
Park. The Parson has fine collection of

mic Barry, Joe Choinsld and Bob Arm
strong, a. big black, who stands feet 32t
inches without shoes and stockings. and
a fist like Il dark ham. Bob hopes to
be the successor of Peter Jackson,
but it is difficult to train him.
he is so big and hucly. He has
strength and a willingness to learn. but
up TO date is a long way from being scien-
tific. Joe Choynsd, who locks like a
him. Bob is good natured, but some
times particularly nasty jab makes him
hot and then the onlookers chase around
for clubs to defend themselves. Jim en-
joys these diversions, and cheers the big
negro on in his work by telling him that
he is a wonder.
HandbnII Maker of Speed.
After his bicycle race Corbett puts
himself in the hands of his rubbers. and
they work on his 1.-THE muscles until his
skin IS almost blood-red. a dip in the
ocean surf comes next, and there is an
other rub down. A handball court has
just been built on the grounds and for the
next hour Corhett plays the game with
Steve O'Donnell and Young Corbett,
him. This is Jin'S favorite game, and he
regards it as one of the best methods in
vogue to give the fighter that greatest OF
all requisites, speed. The game makes
one active in leg, back and arm work,
and calls into quick action every muscle
of the body. It also developes the eye
and the exercise of instant vision. Cor
bett pays great attention to his sight, tor
when pitted against d speedy man ike
Fitzsimmons accurate and quick vision
is as necessary as a strong arm ana a
valiant heart Another benefit derived
from constant playing of handbal is that
il improves q mans aim, and forces nm
to swing his arm while his body IS IN all
kinds of positions. CorOett can swat the
little ball with terrific force, When run
ming. walking or jumping There IS no
doubt that handball is a great game Tor
the training fighter to play, and it would
be well for Fitz TO profit by the example
it gives in Corbett's marvellous speed.

After dinner Corbett and Steve ODon-
nell put on the mits and bang each other
at lively clip for half a. dozen rounds. 1t

body blows. .o.
