JEFF KEEPS IN CONDITION.
Big Fellow May Want to Fight
GharkeY or Munroa

New York, Feb. 18.-Billy Delaney,
Champion Jim Jeffries' trainer, is keep
ing the big fighter on the move these
days. When Delaney reached New
York from Frisco d few days ago he
was dissatisfied with Jeffrfes' appear
ance and he at once advised that the
boilermaker get down to work and
take off a few dozen pounds of the ex-
ira flesh he has put on since he fought
Jim Corbett in San Francisco. Jeffries
has been working less than a week and
already the good effects of the exercise
are evident.
Jeffries had lively set to yesterday
with Joe Kennedy, his sparring part
ner. Altogether they boxed ten rounds.
Jeff told Kennedy to cut loose and the
big Californian landed some pretty
good wallops on the champion, but the
conquerer of both Corbett and E'itz-
simmons took it all good-naturedly and
did not try to take advantage OF the
westerner.
Jeffries finished the bout not the
least bit exhausted. He was well pleas
Billy Delaney, said that his protege
was in good condition and that a few
weeks work would put him in excel
lent shape to enter the ring.
From now until the Sharkey- Monroe
battle Jeffries will continue to do light
training and in the event of the match
being arranged between himself and
the winner he viii jump right into his
training quarters to put on the nnlSh-
ing touches in short order.
The defeat of either Tom Sharkey or
Jack Munroe in their six-round battle
at Philadelphia will not be due to lack
of condition. The rival heaVywe1gntS
are training with all the vigor and de-
termination characteristic of the sue
cessfuI boxer and each day finds them
in better physical condition for the
fray.
Sharkey put in another busy day yes
terday at Sheepshead Bay. With his
trainers, Spike Sullivan and Tom Carey
the sailor took a ten mile jog over the
roads and despite the hot pace he set
| finished the journey without being
winded. The stiff pace worked up a
good perspiration and when the sailor
| reached his training quarters he lost
| no time in getting into a warm room.
He then stripped and received a rub
down. During the afternoon Sharkey
spent an hour in the gymnasium! n
! Munroe is a busy man also these
| days. He has no less than three train
| ing camps. In the morning he takes
I'D his quarters at Johnstons road
house, on Jerome avenue His ROAD
work Yesterday consisted of a long jog
through Van CORTLAND park. On his
return Munroe was well taken care OF
by his trainers. In the afternoon Mum
roe iourneyed downtown to Prof At1l-
las gymnasium where he took physi-
cal culture course for an hour. When
this work was completed MunrOe VISIT
ed Kid McCoy's gymnasium, where ne
put on the gloves with the Hoos1er box
er. 1t is here where the interesting
work begins. Munroe is learning many
valuable tricks from Mccoy which he
believes will serve him to good ad-
vantage when he meets Sharkey.

The Boys Use Lead Nickels.

Leavenworth, Kas.. Feb. 1S-Frank
Van Horn and William Browning, two
youths who claim Atchison as their
home, were arrested in Leavenworth
for working slot machines They
had a lot of discs of sheet lead exactly
the size of nickels. These worked
splendidly in slot machines, and the
boys filled up several saloon machines
with the bogus coin. They were arrest
ed by Detective Lonergan and had
about a quart of the coin on them
when searched. 1t is thought they can
be tried for passing counterfeit coin,
although the legality of slot machines
may be questioned.
