CHAMPION IN LOS ANGELES.
General Survey of the Field of the Boxers

De Champ in now in Los Angeles Jeffries now rests under his own vine and fig tree just outside the city limits of the Angel city and is recev- ing his friends while he lays on couch. where loving hands have made his stay comfortable and easy during his enforced retirement He is at home with mother and father and surrounded by his brothers, the stall wart Jack. handsome John and loving hearted Tommy. the champion's ia vorite. though his infrmities Jim is taking life as easy as possible. His wife of course is doing everything she can 10 get the big fellow on his pms and at the same time make a hit with with the old folks" Although Jeff is a pugilist, and his father is an ordained minister of the gospel. the old father thinks there is nobody or earth who is quite the same as his big son. Jim on the other hand thinks that this world contains no father and mother who can quite equal the ones who cared for him when a child and look ed after him prayerfully during his career. This may seem funny 10 SOAAt way AC AON iNAiCN tue There is that bond of affection be- tween every member of the Jeffries family seldom found in any other They are thoroughly devoted to each others interests and the brothers meet there is that loving happy look overspreads the face of each that is seldom found in families today.
 Am l going to be able to fight and win from Munroe?" said Jeff. in ans wer 10 a question regarding the con- ing contest. Well. all I've got to say is that I will do the job so decisively that there will be no quibbles about ii and those who witness the battle will see one that is a fight from start 10 finish. have bum leg just now but l am taking care of myself and the climate Of Los Angeles will work wonders Tor it. It is much better Tor recovery than the fogs of San Fran CISCO and I hope to be up inside of ten days"
 Whats that? What is the best blow to knock out a man? Well the one that does it is the best of the Dattie, but l for my part, like to use The body blows for effective work. Of course if blow is landed on the chin m the right place it does the business but if a man plays for the body. he Will in time, and in a very short time. too, have his opponent at his mercy. A boxer can protect his head and face oy crouching and wadiEg in. and in this way can land effectively on the body, and this will in time make the other fellow feel weak and then it's time to finish him.
 T don't say that the jaw punch is not a good one. It is but a fellow has much harder time landing on the jaw than on the body A man may lead several rounds and not land ef- fectively and lay himself open all the time to the other fellow. I'll bet tha. nine out of ten men would rather enter the ring with pad for the body than one for thejaw."
 Speaking of what he may do after the Nunroe fight Jeff says:
 This match was made for me by New York newspaper men who thought I ought to give Munroe a chance. Maybe they'll find me another But as it stands there isn't anybody else aching for a chance with me. But don't let anybody tell you that I've have become sweIled on myself I know as well as I know anything that some fellow will come along some day and knock my head off. It's haDpened to all of them and I'll get mine"
