IN PRIME CONDITION

San Francisco, July 24.-Champion
Jeffries INDUCED in but light exer-
else yesterday at the Reliance club
in Oakland. He arose early and
skipped the rope 1000 times, finish
ing the ordeal with no visible signs
of exhaustion. Ne then spent the
lunch hour in comparative quiet with
Delaney and his retinue of trainers
and in the afternoon took row on
Lake Messitt. He tipped the beam
at 2l7 pounds last night, but expects
to weigh 21s when he enters the ring
on Friday night.
Fitzsimmons took jog along the
drives at Golden Gate park yester-
day morning and was rubbed down
at the Terminal hotel, after which
he partook Of hearty luncheon
and spared with Griffin and Andy
Gallagher at the Olympic club. Ex-
perts on the scene declare that
there is apparently nothing further
to be desired in the condition Of the
men. The consensus Of opinion seems
to be, however, that Fitzsimmons'
age and the difference in weight 10
against the chances Of the Cornish
man and that Jeffries is the logical
winner. The receipts, the club man
ayers state, has almost reached the
$4,000 mark. The betting odds find
Jeffries still favorite at 9 to / and
1Ob to 4, with considerable Fitzsim-
mons money in sight.
