Of Marvin Hart places him in the fore
front OF the ranks Of big fellows at a
bound. but as yet there has been no
talk of his trying to tease Jeffries from
retirement.
James J. Jefries will hardly consider
another tight now unless some other
man of his own weight or some figure
approaching ii looms on the horizon.
JEFF does not think OF lighting Jack
O'Brien. Hart was the only thorn in his

The eX-ehampions have now been

B no are going in their best form while

A big factor in the race Is the absence
of Captain Bum. who has left for Chi

Of their remaining twelve games TO hold
