THREE ROUNDS OF FAST HITTING Jeffries and Ryan Have a Warm Bout in
 Oakland.
What Peter Jackson Intends Doing if He Wins His Next
 Fight.
Dal Hawkins Will Mako Another Trip in Quest of
 Coin.

George Green and Joe ChOynSKl are doing the major part of their training in the Olympic Club. Ryan and Green are booked to fight before the National Club on February 25, but this date may be changed to February A and Choynski and Sharkey will meet on March II, but doubtless they will fight on March 10.
 An athlete who has trained for many battles and who is considered a most successful trainer of pugilists re- marked yesterday that If he had the handling of Green and Choynsk they would have to do the greater part of their exercise in the open air.
 of course they may have the pleas ure of good company" said the speak CT, "but it is not handball playing and bag punching in an impure atmos- phere that will fit George and Joe for a game that will test the strength of their lungs when they are fighting for the long green. "A little good color in the faces of both men is needed, and that will not be got from the kind of exercise they are taking. Lavigne, Jackson, Dempsey, FitZsimmons, etc.. 5OON ercise in the open air than all the bag punching and rope skipping they en- gagged in while exercising within doors."
 Jackson Is working like a trojan at Crolls Gardens. Alameda and the re- port that Peters trainer had left him because Jackson was cranky when in his cups lacks confirmation.
 Jackson, in a chat with Billy Kenne- dy of the Olympic Club a few days ago, said that time will convince the sporting people of this city whether he is the same old Peter of six years ago or a back number.
 If l am unable to uphold the title which l now possess, viz, Champion of England and the Australias," said Jackson, then I will gracefully retire from the ring and seek some other line of business, but if I can dispose of that husky young fellow Jeffries in any thing like good fashion, then I shall expect recognition from Corbett or Fitzsimmons. If 'Fitz' will not recog- nize my challenge I certainly shall claim the heavyweight championship of the world which MT. Corbett can dispute-that is, if he really wants to fight.
 In case Jeffries whips Jackson and Sharkey disposes of Choynski, the Olympic Club directors have stated that they will match the heavyweight colts, believing that fight between Tom and Jim would prove to be slasher from start to finish. But Sharkey has prom iSed some of his nearest friends that win or lose with Choynsh he will start for the gold fields of Alaska next month.
 Tommy Ryan is training with Jef- fries in Oakland, and Billy Delaney is into ,r,c hA of HAt
 A day or so ago while Jeffries and Ryan were fitting on the gloves pre- paratory to holding a pleasant little three-round set-to, some one suggested that they 'liven things up a bit
 It's go," answered Ryan quickly
 How about it, Jeff?" mildly queried Delaney. And big Jim blushingly re- piled: All same to me, Billy; that's how I will learn to hit fast
 They went at it for three rounds, and the few people who witnessed the little mill said that it was worth going some distance to see. Ryan proved that he was an exceedingly clever fellow and a great judge of distance. He planted his left more than once on Jeffries' nose, but the big Los Angeles heavy weight warmed Tommy's sides in good fashion. Jeffries' ducking, Ryan said, was surprisingly quick, considering the size of the man. There was no blood shed, although red spots on the faces of the fighters were not indiscernible
 It is said that Hawkins is figuring on trip to the country, where he expects to pick up few golden eagles by whip ping the champion of an interior town Hawkins is in hopes of getting a match with Erne.
