Jeffries Makes a Change il
Training Camp.
WilBDO His Work Hereafter Al
Hardin Springs.
JEFF'S CONDITION BAD.
Experts Say the Champion Is
Big and FIabby.
jim Corbett Is Doing Some
Splendid Training.

San Francisco, June 25-These are
strenuous times for Jim Corbett and
Eddie Hanlon. who are working to-
gether in Alameda. A big crowd went
over yesterday to see them. COrbett
boxed seven fast rounds with Sam Ber-
ger and Yank Kenny without even TAX
ing a minutes rest and was not breath
ing hard when his work was finished.
Big Kenny, who is not quite as fast as
Berger, was kept guessing where Cor
bett was all the time, and, although he
was on the lookout, kept Jim working
Berger had the best action with Jim
during the bouts. Prof Dare watched
Corbett's moves and says he knows
more about the big fellow than Cor
bett knows himself.
Hanlon went through a rigid work
out himself with the gloves, taking on
Joe Angel and Lew Powell for two
each. The crouch which Eddie used in
previous fights is still in evidence. and
1t Is certainty he will use it in his
coming go with Yanger. The latters
reputation does not feaze the local lad
a bit, and he is Just as sure of winning
as he IS of his name. When told Yam
ger was always after his man. hammer
and tongs. Eddie replied
Well, that's just what I want. If
you'll look back, not one of these ag-
with me-"
Jeffries has changed his mind and will
do his training for his bout with Cor
bett at Hardin Springs instead of at FL
Campo. The big fellow yearns for re-
tirement and concluded to seek the
quiet of country resort rather than
to endure the gaze of thousands that
would be thrown upon him We're he to
work al the picnic grounds near the
city. He win start to work within d
day or two and viii keep constantly at
it until the date Of the fight While
most of the boilermaker's friends think
he is in good condition, there are 4
number who are of the opinion that he
is already on the decline. One of them
is not near so good as he was four
years ago.
He was rugged and comparatively
spare then" he continued, whereas to-
day he is big and habby. He stands no
longer erect, but has a habit of stoop-
ing over. These are bad signs"

Rough Rider Tells of Life on
the PrairieS.
ONCE A SOCIETY MAN
Chairman Dick After Him to
Campaign for Roosevelt.

Forsaking city life. banquets. recep-
tons and full dress Tor the rolling prairies
of the Lone Star state and the wild life
OF the cowboy is the story of Price II.
Taylor, a young man who has been in
Wichita the past week with Col R. T.
Groom of the Groom ranch in Texas.
Three years ago this young man was
ticket agent for the Chicago and Alton
railroad in the Union station in St Louis
and participated in the swell social func-
tons of the city, but firing of the rou-
tine OF railroad work he cast it aside and
HE'D himself to the biliowy plains of
Texas, and now he says he feels as much
at home chasing a wild steer across the
plains as he did punching tickets in the
Union station. He has made occasional
visits 10 81. Louis but each time returns
10 the plains with the conviction that the
: plains are the place for him.
Mr.. Taylor is college and Kentucky
bred and originally came from Frank
fort, KY, and il is strange that he en-
joys the rough solitude of a western cat
tie ranch and d hurricane deck of buck
ing broncho in preference to city life
and social pleasures Taylor is modest
young fellow with an unassuming manner
and IS a very interesting talker. He has
had many interesting experiences since
he became a cowboy and uses tact in
telling them.
i well remember he said. my initia-
tion into ranch life. / had only been on
the range a short time and OF course
was about as green as the average ten
derfoOt. l knew that 1 would have to
stand for some fun from the boys but
made up my mind that when the time
came I would keep up a stiff front. One
night nearly all of the boys jumped on
their bronchos and went to the nearest
town for a good time and 1 knew their
would be some fun when they came home.
and there was. 1 crawled into my bunk
early in the evening and soon was sound
asleep. Along about two o'clock in the
morning the boys came home and the
first thing 1 was conscious of was of
someone shooting in the room. 1 pre-
tended 20 be sound asleep and that 1 was
used to just such things as that but
