 New York, Jan 17.--Jack Munroe, the Butte, Mont, miner, who is regard ed as a championship heavyweight possibility, because he stayed four rounds with Jim Jeffries recently, had taste of the penalty of popularity yesterday. The Anaconda miner in company with his press agent and Manager, Clark Ball, visited Park row Tn the afternoon. It was his first trip through the crowded strets of New York, and, he realizes to-day what it means to be a noted pugilist. Although Munroe in his street attire does not look different than any other human heinz he was soon recognized. Little newsboys, people in every walk of life and a lot of curious folks followed the western scraper about. They Jostled and buffeted him until he found rel1ef by disapearing into one of the down town offices. where he posed before the camera.
 Munroe says that he likes New York, hut adds that one must live here while to get used to the hustle and confusion of a big town. Butte IS lively" he said tbut Park row is the limit. You've got to do lot of side stepping in order to get out of peoples way at least that was my experience vesterday" Munroe realizes that good condition is essential to man or his stature and profession and has made preparations to begin light train ing next Monday at Bothner's and El- mer's gymnasium on West Forty-sec- ond street. Billy Elmer will take him in tow and box with him daily. The miner will also go through couple Of wrestling bouts with Bothner Nun roe is not in the best of shape now to show what he can do. He says that few days of labor will put him on edge. and by Wednesday he hopes that the sports vii be able to judge him fla yorably. He will box several rounds with Elmer then. r Elmer is fast and clever and will be able to try Munroe out to some extent.
 Clark Ball exhibited an ugly cut on his forehead which he received recent lv by coming into collision with Bob Fftzsimmon's right. Ball and the, Cornishman are brothers-in-law, but Ball has no use apparently for the au- burn haired fighter. YJeffries is man hut Fitz is a cur" said Ball. Il WorK- ed hard for him and, it was my brain that evolved the idea of forming the combination. but I'll get even with him yet, you can wager. some day, and it is not far distant, Munroe Will meet Fitzsim1n0ns and will give him worse thrashing than did Jenrles. Munroe says that he is 27 years old and that he was born at Chester, Pa' He does not look his age, however.
