JEFF" NOW REALIZES
THAT He MUST FIGHT.
AbandonS All Further Hope of
PoStponement.

HARDIN SPRINGS. Cal. July 2s.-Jef-
fries at last sees that he must fight on
the 14th. and is going to work in grim
earnest. At the best he has but four
teen days work ahead OF him. Up to
this time there has really been no train
ing worthy Of note. What there has
been will not compare with Corbett's
long. steady pull OF more than year.
1t is true that Jeffries is in a condition
that might well be called perfect for any
other man. His life here in the noun
tains. his long hunting runs behind the
stage. and his frequent work on the row
ing machine. the weights, the punching
bag and with the skipping rope have
hmbered him up. kept of all excess It's
sue and given his skin a healthy. fine
glow.
Yet. although strenuous and hardy. his
life has not been regular He has eat
en- and drunk what he pleased. stayed
up at night as long as he wished. and
has risen in the morning with as little
unconcern for the breakfast hour as any
Tenderloin rounder. Down somewhere
in his unfathomable mind-for he has
never ccnfided to anyone-has been an
idea that the fight would be postponed.
The chief reason for saying this is the
talk OF postponement IN which ne has
INDUCED for the past few days.
The truth probably is that he breads
the work incident to a fight until he
sees that IT is inevitable: then he
plunges in with all the vigor of one who
never gives up. Such is the present
stage Of the champions training. The
change came yesterday morning For
three days previous Jefries talked Of
postponement. His excuse was his leg
This had big bruise. but the doctor in
attendance declared IL TO be a simple
thing TO heal IL Jeff would only follow
instructions: but Jen would not follow
instructions. He disobeyed the doctors
in every particular. Despite this the
bruise is healing. Now Jef is doing
enough work for three men.
ALAMEDA, Cal, July 29.-Corbett

Club Handicapped.

Postals estrangement from the Wash
ington club has been the subject of COM
ment all season. He has not been here
since the championship schedule went
into effect and his apparent lack OF in
terest IN its affairs has done much to
enshroud the club in a haze of i'll odor.
His tin with Lotus and differences with
the clubs directors did not tend to i'm
prove the conditions of the club. and
the team and those at its steering gear
have been practically cropping in the
dark all summer. Mr.. Postal can't come
TO Washington too soon for the good
OF the game in this city, and II is fer
vently hoped that the matter of a few
dollars viii not stand in the way OF a
speedy contamination of the deal, Aad
then it can be Judged whether the local
capitalists viii make good their re-
peated assertions that the club would
be built up and strengthened and made a
winner. next season at least.

.PUGILISTIC STAR OF
FORT ERIE IS NOW SET
Manager Herman Found Guilty Of Pro
noting a Przehght.

BUFFALO. July apparently the
pugilistic star of Fort Erie has set at
least for some time to come. Magis-
trate Ernest Cruikshank delivered a So
lar plexus punch to the glove game in
Fort Erie yesterday when he found John
II. Herman. manager Of the lnterna-
uouaI Athletic Club, guilty Of promot-
ing q prizeAght. which IS contrary to
the laws Of Canada, which allow boxing
contests, but not prizehghting.
Herman was arraigned in the charge
Of violating the laws Of Canada in pro-
noting the Root-Gardner battle at Fort
Erie on the Afternoon Of July 4. SEN
tence was deferred pending an appeal
TO the court Of appeals OF the province
Of Ontario. The penalty IS fine OF $50
to $500. or one year IN prison, or both
The decision rendered by Magistrate
Cruikshank is peculiar. as when Her
man was arraigned on the charge Of
violating the laws IN promoting the
-Zurbrick bout the case against him
was dismissed. Then when rearraigned
for the Root-Gardner ofense he was
found guilty. The magistrate contends
that the Root Gardner bout was a prize
fight but the Erne-Zurbrick battle was
a boxing match. The same evidence
was given IN both cases and by the
same witnesses, Chief Griffin and High
Constable DOwd.

AND MAY BE RUINED
Walden's Filly Badly In
jured in a Scrimmage.
FULLER RIDES POOR RACE
Nameoki Loses on This Account. A.
Caesar Makes His Annual Coup
With April Shower.
FULLER RIDES POOR RACE

1t was rough and tumble day at the
jamaica track yesterday Jockeys bang
ed and interfered with one another and
rode TO suit their own inclinations, re-
gardless of the claims of their employ
ers; a horse was cut down and form
was at a discount. Good things" were
put through with a regularity that
caused the hearts Of the bookmakers
10 sink. 1t was a most unsatisfactory
days sport.
The aggressive spirit of the riders was
shown in the first race. With seven
horses Withdrawn out of fourteen, Divi-
nation was made a to 10 favorite.
This filly sported the colors of Andrew
Miller for the first time since she was
purchased from Jack Follansbee last
week. The desire of the jockeys seem
Ingly was to beat this flly, no matter
how. But they failed, and only suo-
ceeded in cutting down Petunia, ally
belonging to r. W Walden and an out
slider in the betting.
While they were trying to overhaul
and jam the favorite there was a scrim-
mage at the haIf-mile post, in which
several Jockeys and horses participated.
Petunia May Be Ruined.
When Petunia returned to the scales
1t was discovered that she was badly
cut down in the near hind leg. She pre-
scented a pitieble sight A piece OF flesh
had been cut out OF her hook and the
back part OF the leg cut so deeply that
the tendons were exposed and the flesh
hung over like broken flap of a cap
One Of the trainers had to shear of
part OF this flap before the wound could
be bound up. In all probability Petu-
MAS racing days are ended. This is
the second time a horse has been cut
down inside OF two months. These &C
cidents are due TO the reckless riding
now In vogue
FulIer's Weird Ride.
Jockey FulIer's exhibition OF horse
manship on Nameok recalled the weird
handling of favorites at the Iron Hill
track several years ago. Frank Farrell
bet heavily on his colt and advised all
his friends to do likewise, but in tho
vernacular of the betting ring his
money was burnt up" Fuller discov-
cred more pockets in the course OF the
contest than there are on pool table.
When too late he made his effort, and
the colt finished fourth, Ishlana winning
cIeverly from Agnes Brennan by two
lengths The winner was heavily played
from u TO l down 20 s TO l. and her
owner, W. J. Arkell, is reported to have
won q good amount over her victory.
The yearly coup OF J. A. Caesar
owner of April Shower. was made in the
handicap. The colt was backed from 20
to l down to 9 TO l. He went of like
streak of lightning. made all his run
ming, and won ridden out from G. Whit
tier. In his previous race April Shower
toddIed around the track like fat pig
with the asthma

COPS Riddled the Target.

New Ulm's ''first line of defense''
INDUCED in small arms practice Fri
day. That afternoon Chief Adolph
Klause, with Officers Jos. Tauer and
JOS. Weisenborn, repaired to an un-
frequented spot ia the suburbs and
there proceeded to make a target look
like the remn ants of a tro-glycerine
explosion. The minions Of the law
were in fine fettle and landed on the
bulls-eye with unerring accuracy.
Chief Klause led his braves with a
score of $50 points at range of SO
yards but the other two made very
creditable marks. These practices will
be held frequently in future and it will
not be long before the finest will re
gard potting ambitious burglars OF
other crooks as the simplest kind of a
diversion.
