JACK AIUNROE.
James J. Jehfries. born Carroll. O.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Aug. %
Nothing but the tap of the gong re-
mains 10 bring Jim Jeffries and Jack
Munroe together in Mechanics Pavilion
tonight. to battle for the heavyweight
championship of the world.
While the advance sale Of seats does
not augur a record-breaking house. the
Two gladiators viii pull down enough
money TO keep them in cigars for year
at least. When the fight was postponed
last June. on account of Jeffries' bad
knee, prediction was freely made that
when the men did meet they would not
draw enough 10 pay for the advertising
but the promoter. the fighters. and their
managers, have become actutely wise ia
their generation. and know a trick or
two worth any fight fans money.
Harry Pollock. MunrOe's manager, a
slender, pale-faced youth, accused the
mammoth Jeffries to his face that he
was afraid 70 meet Muuroe Jenries an
parently, took the charge 10 heart, but
whether he did or not. all the capital
possible has been worked out of the
incident In a nutshell. the word has
gone forth that tonights affair of the
gloves is TO be a -grudge fight"
Fight for Blood.
And 50 it comes 10 pass that the
spectators tonight expect 10 witness .,
fight for blood. one that will be wicked
and vicious fun Of Donderous and dam
aging punches. with one of the two
giants knocked stiff FOR the fun count.
However much the box-office crowd
may have traded on the grudge feature.
there Is no doubt that Jcffries has given
1t some thought. much to the regret Of
his trainers.
Under the WaJchful eye OF Billy De-
laney. ne prepared himself with unusual
zeal His sparring partners. Joe Ken
nedy and Jack Jeffries were rendered
unfit more than once during the train
ing period by the boilermakers mighty
Whacks. Not since he won the cham
pionshtp has Jeffries prepared himself
with such care and energy
As a result Of his hard work JEFF
1ries has stripped the vaRrant flesh of
MS gigantic frame and has brought his
speed and strength up 20 the proper
my-life statement is to be expected hut
IL cannot be made with any degree of
truthfulness. JefTries is close 10 the
go mark. and can never hope to be as
good as he was four OF even three years
ago. He has not taken the best care Of
himself. has taken on flesh with alarm
1ng rapidly and finds each spell Of
training harder than its prede cessor. JEFF
Tries today is "a foeman worthy OF any
mans steel. aud is At TO put up another
OF his remarkable battles. but IS not a
bit better than at any stage Of his ca
reer.

Jack May Be Wise.

Munroe has been credited with know
ing more about his profession than some
folks are willing 10 admit. At any rate,
he has had the advantage Of fine coach
ing. and II he lives up TO all the pre-
liminary talk about him the contest
ought TO be good. To the layman. how
ever. Munroe at present does not loom
up as a championship possibility. HIS
inexperience is first considered. Then
his lack Of cleverness and other attrib-
utes have To be weighed. But surprises
are likely 10 occur, and they are fire.
quent I'm DuRilism.
Very few believed that Jenries. when
he was matched 10 meet Bob F1tz5im-
mons the first time, had a chance. Yet
he knocked the COrnishman out and
proved himself a wonder. When Young
Corbett went against Terry McGoveTn
all the wiseacres predicted speedy and
ignOminiOus defeat for the Denver boy.
Yet COrbett made fistic history by put
ting the then invincible Terry away IN
jig time. Jim COrbett upset calculations
by whipping John I. Sullivan. and so
on ad inflnitum. But all these men,
compared with MunrOe had better rec
Ords and had shown In their contests
that they were capable Of better things.
Has Improved Defense.
In this fight Jeffrles will have the ad-
vantage OF height and weight. So FAR
as strength is concerned, opinion seems
TO be equally divided. The miner is un-
doubtedly strong. and while this does
not always wins fights il is an import
ant factor. Reports from the training
quarters say that Munroe IS improving
his defense As Jenries has been able
60 penetrate the guard OF such high
class fighters as Jim Corbett and Bob
Fitzsimmons. there IS no reason why
he should not be able to reach Munroe.
Aside from Jeffries' other character
istlcs. which alone would seem to make
him invincible. he IS the most cautious
of all the heavyweight fighters He
has never lost his head In d battle. He
never rushes blindly into danger. and
exercises "a generalship that is equaled
only by FitzsimmOns.
