Not Qualified by Raising Great
Weights or Breaking
Chains.
BUT BY MIGHTY WALL0pS
fine Wonderful Physique of the Cham:
MON of tIeayyweights Make Hin a
Variable Hercules.

New york, Oct. 2o,-strongest man in
the world
THAT is Jeffrles' new title.
The big boiermaker revels In It. lie
much prefers the role of the twentieth
century Hercules TO the more plehean
"ohampion heavyweight pugilist."
And who Is there TO dispute with this
Colossal fellow from the orange groves OF
california the high honor that he Graves?
Jeffries has qualified for his new title
not by raising huge weights on his chest
and breaking great chains on his arms.
but by delivering mighty wallops that
hnyc made him as feared In the arena of
istiana as his neurological prototype OF
the lIomoric era.
And what Hercules In real life, bigger
and brawnler than any OF his fellows this
bearlike Californian would make, travel
ing about the country with n non SKIN on
hls shoulders and a huge club IN his right
hand II the conventionalites OF modern
society and police regulations did not Ia
boo such exhibitions.
Scattering a few grains Of salt on these
tales OF ancient strong men II Is pretty
safe TO say that many of the celebrated
club wielders OF antiquity fell far short
of Ieffries' claims on the title.
IL. these stories OF the misty past were
nOtinltogether too exaggerated, and some
Of these celebrated fellows had the punch
that brings with II a trip to dreamland, Y
is n pity that one or two of them could
not come back and give this conqueror OF
champions session In the ring.
II anyone doubts the claims OF Jeffres
10 the strong man title let him study the
marvellous development Of the giants
frame.
What breadth Of shoulders What a
mountain OF muscles, yet clothed In lines
OF grace that tell OF agility.
The secret OF this mans terrific blows
that have made men quake in the ring
upon contemplating his massive front is
revealed at glance. The shoulders, the
arms and back tell the tale OF reslstlcss
might
When Jeffries was In the American Of
fee and posed for the remarkable pictures
he consented to remeasurement
that shows him to be bigger than on
tho occasion Of his last visit to Chicago
Here are the figures:
Weight. 235 pounds, height, feet III

Jeffries. unlike many Of his predeces-
sors Is willing TO fight on short notice,
Though thoroughly disguised with the
tactics Of Jack Munroe. who got a little
fame because of surviving four tame
rounds with him, Jeffries would give the
miner chancei ( he really showed an
honest desire to get into the ring with
him.
