After good rundown Jeffries enjoyed
his usual midday meal, and then put in
a lot of mild work, training with the

Tommy Ryan, Jim Daily, Jack Jeffrie5
and Martin McCue. They worked the
medicine ball, wrestled and turned the

which his agility at footwork and side
stepping was remarkably clever AS

BETTING ON THE RESULT
AS the date for the fight approaches the
betting seems to be getting more vogor-

in evidence with their wads and try to
tempt Jeffries supporters with good odds.
In some instances this is of no avail. for
the boilermaker's friends are on the out
look, apparently, to back the Californian
