few tricks in boxing today. He took on
Jeffries first, telling him to go at him
good and hard and try his best to land
on him. Jeffries followed instructions,
but failed to connect at any time. Jim
allowed the big fellow to corner him and
then, seeing a good opportunity, threw
himself forward and shot out his right
arm from half bent position, catching
Jeffries squarely on the point of the
jaw. The big fellow went fiat to the
floor and was assisted to his dressing
room by Delaney and White. Jim was
rather surprised himself and quickly
came to his partners assistance. jeff
ries took 1t good naturedly, saying 'he
certainly got good one that time"
Then came Woods, encased in pneu-
matte armor. Billy went at Jim, swing
ing right and left at Jim's head, but
each time the champion drew his head
out of harms way, leading Woods on
until he saw his opportunity. When 1t
came Woods protective" plates did not
act as a protector. He got it under the
chin with such force that he sat down
with thud. He remained on the floor
in a dazed condition for several seconds.

len. Jim declared he was entirely salts
fed with his practice of knockout blows.
There was a radical change in the
weather today and the thermometer,
which had been lowering around zero,
and frequently falling below zero, took
sudden jump after sunrise and at
noon the mercury covered the forty-four
mark. The sun beat down upon the
snow covered hills, playing havoc with
the snow which remained after yester-
days thaw. Many sporting men arrived
at the conclusion that life is sometimes
worth living even In Nevada. Some OF
the careless visitors shed their overcoats
and substituted what the natives called
billed shirts for sweaters. During the
afternoon they were on dress parade
along Hackett avenue, which 10 the fav-

asked by the senders. 1t is stated by
one of Stuarts men that orders up to
this afternoon for seats amounted to con-
siderably more than 10000. Stuart is not
yet sufficiently, recovered to leave his
apartments and 1t is likely his physi-
clans will insist on his remaining in
dors at least another week. A relapse
after an attack of pneumonia in this
climate is regarded as especially dan
gerous. His clearks, however, are keep

been offered as to the exact hour of the
contest or arrangements for seating

Jim Corbett went through his regular
afternoon and morning performances,
but acting on the advice of his trainers,
Delaney and White, he abbreviated both
periods of work. He said to repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press, how
ever. that he was only giving the De-
llaney-White suggestion a fair chance
for few days and II he Is not pleased
with the change he said It was his in

At Cooks ranch, where Fitzsimmons
| and his retinue of athletes are quarter
ed, there was no startling development.
| The cod from which Fitzsimmons has
been suffering for several days has al
| most disappeared and he has been in
excellent spirits all day. The prospects
of an opportunity to do road work in the
| near future cheered him up. In the
| morning Fitzsimmons decided to run
! into town for his mail, but the roads
were in such bad condition that he aban-
| doned this after reaching a point near
the state penitentiary. distant scarcely
a mile from his temporary home. There
was not a great crowd at his quarters
when the afternoon work began. Ju-
liam as usual kept q sharp eye out for
camera manipulators, but his watchful-

One hundred dozen live pigeons were
! ordered yesterday for the big live bird
shoot to be given by Dan Stuart in con-
nection with the fistic events next
month. One-half of these will be ship
ped on from Chicago by Malachy Hogan,
Stuart's representative in the Windy
City, and the other half will be brought
on by Ed Fay. Stuart's agent in San
Francisco.
1t looks now as though the shoot was
going to be mammoth affair. Aside
from the live bird individual champion
ship, there will be interstate team
shoots. Montana, Utah, Idaho, Wyom-
ing and California are getting teams in
shape and, will take part in the compe-
titions. A big ten-bird handicap sweep
