JEFFRIES SAYS TRAINING
IS NECESSARY TO FIGHTERS
Ability to Take Punishment Is
Gained Only by Consistent
Work.
SOME BOXERS OVERDO IT

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-'I have been asked
why 1 am able to withstand the heavy
blows of my opponents in battle. There is
one answer to this question, and that is
good condition. L have never entered the
ring unless / have been in the best possible
condition and prepared to cope with the
most trying circumstances; thus spoke Jim
Jeffries to-day.
THE one thing that will put a boxer in
good condition, and in fact. the only thing,
is conscientious training. When first took
up the boxing game / realized that boxer
must be in condition to be able to go any
distance. With training is the whole
thing | know that if / enter the ring in
good condition L have nothing to fear. 1t
is simply a question of time when 1 will
put my man out.
while many boxers have idea about
training they either oVerdo it don't do
enough. The most important feature of
training for a battle is TO know when you
have got enough. There are many things
to be taken into consideration. AS to my
training schedule / arrange it to suit
myself, and, strange to say, 1 never follow
the same system twice What may be good
at one time may not be beneficial at an
other time No matter how long you train
there are always a few things to learn.
MY light training will harden me
up for the routine work which is to follow
when / go into active training for the win
ner of the Munroe-Sharkey bout.
For instance, L don't think it is neces-
sary to cut out water when you are thirst
ing for it. 1 have tortured myself at times
by not drinking when l am sure it wouIu
have done me good. Water naturally makes
one heavier, but continuous training will
offset what little effect the water will

COHEN MADE BIG OFFER
FOR RELEASE OF GAV|TT
Indianapolis Manager Has Tried
Hard to Sign the Great Cover
Point Player.
MAY YET COME HERE

LAFAYETTE. Ind. Feb. 21.-The lovers
of polo in this city are awaiting the results
of this weeks games with feverish inter
est. as the team holding second place at
the end of that time will have an excel
lent chance to hold ii until the close of the
present season, which is but a few weeks
off.
Manager Cohen. of the Indianapolis West
ern League team, has tried hard to sign
Second Rush E. Gavitt, of the Lafayette
five. for the Indians. Just as Pierce is
conceded TO be the greatest floor worker
playing polo to-day, Gavitt is ranked first
among the cover point players. and were
he to play that position with the Indian
apolis rush to feed the bail to him the
Indian five would quickly start up the
championship ladder.
Mr. Cohen offered Manager Will Baugh,
OF the Lafayette team, an almost fabulous
sum for the release of Gavitt. Cohen and
Baugh talked for some time over the long
distance telephone one day last week. but
could settle on no terms as Mr.. Baugh
would not consider a trade or price for
Gavitt. The defense of the Lafayette team
has fallen slightly i'm the last two weeks
and ii Is not impossible that Gavitt may
yet go TO indianapolis in exchange for one
or the big league players
