 untrue, and nobody knows this better
 than Munroe himself" ~ New York. Jan 16. - Jack
 Munroe the stalwart miner of Butte, Mont who electrified the pu-
 gilistic world few weeks ago by standing four rounds before Champion | Jim Jeffries and giving the champion as good as he sent arrived in New York
 on the Empire State express which reached the Grand Central station at 10 o'clock last night. Munroe was ac-
 companied by his manager, Clark ] Ball who was in control of the Jeff ries-Fitzsimmons combination at the time Jeffries and Munroe met in Butte. The pair came direct from Buffalo,
 where stop had been made for day to permit Munroe to visit his sister in l Toronto. Munroe is big, athletic fellow, and takes the honors which have
 come to him modestly. He stands five l feet eleven and one-quarter inches and weighs at. present 195 pounds. Clark Ball. his manager, said Munroe
 comes here to fill an engagement with Sam Harris's s.Road to Ruin" company and will not consider any challenges until after his fight with Sharkey,
 which probably will be decided ill Butte in June.
 Munroe was told that Jeffries had made statement denying that he was
 dropped to his knees in their four round battle. Munroe said:
 "Well, Jeff may talk all he pleases, but he can't get away from the fact ! that did drop him, and a couple or thousand persons saw me do 1t. II was toward the close of the second round. Jeffries reached for me with l a left hook. and he seemed to be slow l ing up. I stepped in toward him and 1 let the blow go over my neck. At the same time I drove my right against his ribs over the heart as hard as
 knew how.
 9Jeffries staggered against the ropes which kept him from falling on his back. Then his legs gave way and he dropped over forward on his knees. He couldn't stand straight when ne got LID and didn't seem to be able to move his legs. Before could take ad- vantage of the chance the bell rang and Jeffries reeled to his corner That's all have got to say about l it, but I should think that he'd have 1 the manliness to acknowledge that Munroe said he did not know when or where ha would be training for his l bout with Sharkey, as he would leave all the arrangements to Ball.
