ell. racetrack messenger from Buff
falo. died in St Mary's hospital here

due to a fall from a running automo-

and will remain at Hardin Springs.
Having put Joe Kennedy to the bad
early in the week, the champion fin
ished up today with a terrific bonn
bardment of Brother Jack, who had
to run up signals of distress and go
into dry dock for repairs.
In lieu of human targets, the boiler
maker went to his old punching bag
with the force he has been holding
back for fear of putting Joe and Jack
out of business. His attack was so
fierce he broke the bag. Altogether
the champion put in an hour and forty
minutes working in the gymnasium.
which. according to Dick Adams. is
equal to three days work about San
Francisco bay. so intense is the heat
at Hardin Springs.
If Jack Munroe's appetite can be
taken as a criterion of his fighting
ability. he ought to give JEFF a most
interesting tussle for the champion
ship. AT breakfast this morning the
husky miner gulpei down 3 raw eggs.
and would have eaten more had not
the supply in camp run short. He also
got away with two pounds of steak
and few other eatables. and still he
was hungry.
Everything is hustle at the training
quarters of the challenger Munroe is
going through regular routine. hard

speed and stiffness, and increasing
his lung power. He docs his work
with enthusiasm and apparent conf
dence, and will stick to set exercises
