THE HtAVYWfiGH1S
The Fight viii Come Off FRI
day N ght AS Advertised

Harbin Springs. June 12.-After
n ght of extreme vigilance on the part
OF his trainers and attendants seeth-
Ing hot medicinal applications being
applied every two hours. Jim Jeffries
awoke to find his knee in a vastly
improved cond ton.
The puffy, angry-looking swelling
had been visibly reduced, and while
the leg did not present its no NAL
appearance, the results were encour-
aging. The champion was feeling in
exuberant spirits. Jeff sa he would
cont nue. to rest today, but announced
that he would be at work again on
Monday. Manager Billy Delaney did
not quite approve of this, but ente. ed
no protest. Once his mind is made
up to do a thing nothing can alter
the big boilermaker's determinat on.
There 1t little or no chance of the
championship contest, set for next
Friday night, beng postponed In
fact, Billy Delaney has wired friends
to that effect and beyond doubt Jim
and Jack VII shake hands in the ring
as scheduled.
No serious results can be anticipated
from the lay off whatever. Six weeks
of [. aiming have transformed the beefy
looking champion into well-chiseled
athlete. His face plainly shows the re-
suit of this labor by the firm, ha d-set
epression when in repose, and there
was moro danoar fra.,, o,.araai,,rr ,ha,
from neglecting his training While
resting on his oars. Jeff will indulge
sparingly in food. and a relaxation of
gym and road functions for two or
even tn. ee days should prove beneh-
cial and not harmful.
Sam Berger. the husky Olympic Club
amateur boxer came down from Har-
bin Springs yesterday. Sam will par
tieipate in the boxing tournament az
ST. Louis next September and thought
a journey to the springs might ripen
and st. engthen the gelatine muscles.
Manager Harry Pollock saw his pro-
tege. Jacl, Munroe, work out yesterday
afternoon and was delighted with the
form displayed by the burly miner. At
as Jack went swimming in Sutro Bath
i'm the morning with his retinue of
trainers and this left him langu.d
Added to this he missed his usual half
hou: nap after luncheon, as the. wer.
visitors to entertain.
ft.ho
point of suffocat.on when he coni-
menced his work and the spectators
saw something akin to genuine fight
ing. The several aspiring heavyweights
gave the big miner a fast workout and
tried their best to sneak in a hard
blow Munroe's sore nose was skinned
again and gave him a rather CORY ap-
pearance.
Nun. oes fighting partners shared i'm
the shedding of blood as each In turn
took his medicine. For quick work
Munroe had Andy Gallagher, Fred
Landers and Frank Rafael. They
tried to Outright the miner. but were
unsuccessful.
Num- oes work was done without a
rest, as he went from one boxer TO
another without a respite.
After a thorough rundown he went
for dip I'm the ocean. He enjoys this
the best of all his round of training
and plays about i'm surf like a SEAL
Trainer I'm Chief Tim McGrath is
believer in plenty of work for a boxer
and will keep Munroe busy until the
day before the fight Munroe is such
a wiling subject that 1t is easy TO
keep him at the required notch.
Frank Mcconnell who was a clever
welterweight, viii box with Munroe
tomorrow.
