SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July L.
Sailor Tom Sharkey has begun to train
for his coming match with Jeffries.
The sailor is working at Vallejo, Cal,
where the young lady he contemplates
marrying resides. He desires to stay
there until short time before the con-
test. Sharkey has arranged with Pc
ter Jackson, the old colored champion,
in the hope that he will learn some new
wrinkles of the boxing game. Peter
is undoubtedly clever, and he should
teach Sharkey a good many tricks and
improve his method of hitting.
Sharkey was in this city to-day on
business, and in speaking of his plans,
said he had wired O'Rourke a request
to be allowed to stay in Vallejo and do
his hardest work. Il haven't received
reply from him yet. l don't want to
go on the road" said Tom. What is

When asked about the fight, he said
he was pleased that the match had been
made with SO little trouble
The time won't be long slipping

Will soon know who is entitled to be

Il can't find and fault with them,''
said Tom. Il am satisfied to have
George Siler for referee and as long as
the other side wants the entire purse to
go TO the winner | am content to have
it that way.
AS to hitting with one hand free,
that's my favorite style of fighting and
the only style | know anything about.
1t was my anxiety always to fight that
way at close quarters that made some
people think | was a foul fighter. 1t
simply amounts to this: When you are
allowed to use a free hand the other
man thinks twice before trying TO lean
against you and hold on when he feels
tired
'Of course if you're both holding on,
it's the referees place TO order you to
break. If one man is hugging and the
other fighting, the referee ought to turn
his head away for minute or two
After that he'll find there1l be less
clinching. Of course it would be foul
to hold on with one hand and punch
with the other. but it's quite proper
TO whang away at the ribs or jaw
when your opponent wants to hug YOU
against your will. If you're ordered
10 break by the referee you can drop
your arms and begin fighting again i'm
mediately. That is the kind of fighting
called for by the agreement drawn up
to govern my go with Jeffries, and, as
/ said before. it is the fair way to fight
and the emily way | know anything
about.
Another thing" continued Tom,
fighting on those lines viii make

JEFF WILL BACK OFF FIRST.
Now it issdifferent am at my best
and I'll take good care to keep that

displayed this season in sports of all
kinds, and secondly, because KraenZ-
lein, the great athlete from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania will be a COM
petitor. This young man is by all
odds the finest athlete in training. and
he is expected to make rs good a show
ing and capture as many points as
Malcolm Ford and A. J. Jordan used
to do in the old days, when they were
wont to carry off all the all around
championship with such race. Some
experts go so far as to predict that he
will score the greatest number of
points ever gained in the contest.
There are ten events on the pro-
gramme of the all around champion
ships, namely The 100 yard dash.
high jump, long jump, pole vault, throw
ing 16-pound hammrr, putting To-
pound shot, throwing Sc pound weight,
120 pound hurdle race, half mile walk
and one mile run. The contestant
who can score the highest percentage
on the whole list of events wins the
title of all around champion for the
year A man may be a first class run
ner and poor weight thrower; then
the high score he makes in his spec
ialty will partially make up for the de-
ficiency in the other event
A very elaborate system of scoring
points is used in all around champion
ship contests. The principle of the
rule now in force is as follows: In
each event the worlds best amateur
record is taken as maximum, for
which 1000 points are allowed. Then
n =
ances equal to or worse than this limit
score nothing. For performances be-
tween the maximum and the limit
points are allowed in accordance with
a graded scale.
Alvin C. KraenZlein, who is the most
prominent candidate for the all around
champions this year, is the most
talked about college athlete of the
times. He is the champion hurler of
America and holder of the worlds
amateur broad jump record Before
entering the University of Pennsylya-
ia he was a student at the University
of Wisconsin, where he first took up
athletics. He has done the 100 yard
dash in 10 1-5 seconds, and can nego-
tiate the quarter mile run in less than
so seconds. His best time for the go
yards run is % 40 seconds; he holds
the record for Is 1-5 seconds in the 120
yard high hurdles: has jumped 5 feet 8
inches, and in the pole vault can top
the bar at feet. Nor is he mean op-
ponent IN the other events, his best
permance in throwing the Is pound
hammer being 80 feet; he has put the
16 pound shot "a feet 10 inches, and
the 90 pound weight 10 feet six inches.
A good deal of credit for his wonder
full development is due to the care and
arttention of the Pennsylvania trainer,
M. c. Murphy, who is the best man in
the business in this country.
