of the champion has a personality that
is all her own, and has no need to de-
pend on the glare of the lime light
which beats upon her husbands throne
to attract public notice.
Mrs. Jeffries is not only a very at
tractive little woman but she is also
extremely modest.
Il don't see Of what possible interest
am, or of what Importance anything l
may say is to the general public" is the
way she expressed herself in an inter-
view today.
Just because Mr.. Jeffries happens
to be boxer of note there is no reason
that his wife should be other than an
ordinary woman. All know about the
coming contest is that Mr. Jeffries will
be in splendid physical condition when
he enters the ring with Mr.. Munroe. II
hard work counts for anything, Mr.
Jeffries will be in superb condition"
Since her arrival Mrs. Jeffries has
INDUCED in some of the lighter forms
of exercise with her husband. She is
very fond of animals and birds and
frequently goes out on the road for
walk with her big husband, accompan-
led always by her pet dog. When Jim
gets down to his gymnasium grind his
wife will take hand in the manage
ment of affairs. She is a clever, sensi-
BILE woman and will be OF great benefit
and aid to her husband in conditioning
for the coming battle.
Jeffries' training indicates that the
big fellow Is not overlooking anything
in his preparations for his coming fight
with Munroe.
1t was when training for his last bout
with Corbett that he gave up his hide
bound theory that too much weight was
bad for him. In all his previous fights
1t has been his idea to train down as
fine as possible, thereby sending him
self through the ropes in weakened
condition.
JEFF used to think that his legs looked
unwieldy, and it was the goal of his
ambition to trim his neither limbs down
until they should resemble the atten-
tuated underpinning which grace the
frame of the freckled gladiator, Robert
Fitzsimmons.
In vain Delaney and all the wise
heads about the camp tried to persuade
the champ that he had a wrong idea
Jeffries always was ind probably al
ways will be bull-headed and firm as
the Rock Of Gibraltar. Delaney is a
great man. but when Jen makes up his
mind there is no use in talking to him.
He Is going the route in spite Of ad-
verse criticism.
He followed this method in getting
ready for his second go with Fitzsim-
mons and for six fast rounds he felt the
force Of Delaney's argument.
When training for his last fight with
Corbett the big fellow switched the
dope and did only such work as would
send him to the ring strong and in good
shape. He cut out the crazy rope
skipping and other things calculated to
reduce him in flesh and met Corbett In
the best shape OF his career and weigh-
ing more than he had for months.
He was more than delighted with the
result and in training for Munroe he is
carrying out the idea which he is
carrying out the idea which he is
pleased to regard as his own.
1t Is certain that whatever else is
the matter with him, he will not go in
the ring thin and in poor condition and
II the miner trims JEFF he will trim
the champ at his very best.
