preparation for a fight is more Ike
play than work. His exercise, how
ever, is often of the most violent or
der. After long and very fast run,
ending in a sprint of 500 or 500 yards
he -skips the rope before taking his
bath, rub down and massage. and Is
always surprised that any one should
| think that his fancy steps would be
difficult after his task on the road.
Jeffries method of training varies lit
tie from that of other pugiists. When
preparing for his fight with Fitzsim-
mons he boxed with Jim DAILY and
| Tommy Ryan, punched the bag, exer-
| cised with the medicine ball and the
wrist machine. ran, played hand ball,
rowed on the lake, enjoyed long spins
on his bicycle and put in his days in
manner highly pleasant to him. I'm
| like Fitzsimmons, his bouts with his
trainers were more scientific than
rough-and- tumble. They did not at
tempt to hit him hard and he used no
| force in the blows that landed upon
| him. All his force was saved for the
| punching bag and then he put in the
energy that Fitzsimmons discovered to
| his sorrow.
| In eating Jeffries has always been
careful. He eats heartily, as man
must do If he exercises so freely, but
he always leaves the table at time
when he could still eat more. His bev-
erages are water, which he drinks
sparingly, and weak tea with his
meals.
That there will be two fights be-
tween heavyweights in Denver in the

Colo, hacker of Mexican Pete: Il will

O'Neil is a $500 a side bet for match
between Mexican Pete and Joe Choyn-
ski. All four of these men are big fell
lows and each club is assured good en-
tertainment for it's patrons.
B. H. Benton, representative of kid"
Mccoy. states that the announcement
sent out from Chicago that Mccoy had
been matched to fight Jack Mccormick

In his triumphal tour of the West

invaded this country Is years ago under
AL Smith. Delaney, the veteran trainer
and the discoverer of Jeffries, thinks
that for the next year there will be
more money in going about the country
with troupe of athletes of various
kinds, and that the public will take
more kindly to it than to the WORKOUT
idea of starring in melodrama, which
Brady had in view for Jeff after he had
whipped Fitz. Every man to his
trade says Jeffries, and mine is not
acting"
Jeffries and Delaney are negotiating
with the various boxing celebrities, and
If their scheme pans out they will have
the greatest galaxy of boxers ever con-
centrated in one attraction since the
Sullivan combination in the early SOS,
when Bob Farrell, Steve Taylor, Pete
Mccoy Joe Goss and other lights of
the swollen gauntlet starred under Al
Smiths management.
