erous offers of backing. His head was
not turned. however, by his success.
and realizing that he had much to learn,
he returned to Los Angeles and awaited
developments. Champion Jim Corbett
was looking for a sparring partner and
settled on Jeffries. Negotiations have
been in progress between them for some
days, and now Jeffries has signed with
the champion. The Chronicle of Sunday
says:
Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries met yes
terday afternoon and as result of the
inducements offered by the former the
Los Angeles giant has signed to go east
with the champion.
Jeffries is only q years old and he will
be able to pick up whole lot as Cor
belts sparring partner in the next six
months. He will leave with Corbett next
week and will go direct to Asbury park.

made of championship caliber. He is

and was extremely clever at upper cut

Corbett has also signed Dal Hawkins,
