JEFFRIES STARTS
SOME TROUBLE
WILD SCRAMBLE WHEN jim
TALKS FIGHT
What Might Occur Should Farmer De-
eide to Again Don the Gloves
and Dispose Of Present
Rinesters

An eastern scribe. apparently under
the impression that Jim Jeffries Is
determined to re-enter the ring, tells
wildly of dream I'm which he saw
countless ringsters hurrying from the
west as mighty Jim made mention of
his intentions
He dreams:
There is a wild, mad scramble away
from the Pacific coast with n bunch
of Manifested, beetle-browed and Bos-
ton terrier-faced bunch Of prize fight
ers doing the scram. List for the
footballs from the Occident as the
heaVyweights pass Omaha, going east,
sounding like the bounding tread of
an outward-bound, chcken-st ealing
Igorrote with q load of number eight
birdshot reposng i'm his legs and back.
Need not worry, Eva, dear, 1t Is only

was making a noise like lunch
counter so long as Jeff remained up
the valley prodding burros instead of
swinging happyland hooks with those
mazuma-making mitts Of his.
Now that he has told Delaney that
he is willing to fight 'just once more, -
there is more of a scare thrown into
the ranks Of the pretenders than there
would be IL some one dropped a spit

o'Brien May Leave
Jack O'Rrien has been around Cali
fornia tantalizing the Berger boy for
another battle for the heavyweight
championship" but 1t is expected that
the Philadelphia papers will be saying
that "our esteeemd townsman. Mr..
Joseph O'Hagan. has returned to this
city after a pleasant recuperation on
the Pacific sope.''
cougar cat who has been intimating
that he is so bad that he could dive
through a plate glass window and
never get scratched, will probably shut
up like a burglar-proof SAFE
Samuel Berger, fat boy with more
pride than punch, will doubtless find
that the Great White Way in little
old NV Y'wk," with all of it's pitfalls,
is a haven of rest as compared to
Colma or San Francisco.
Tommy Burns, the Detroit alarm
clock, may go back to deep-sea pilot
ing and take command Of a whitefish
SCuOOleT Oil the raging main OF Ine
ST.. Clair flats. Mike Schreck, a rough
and willing battler, but not looking
for dynamite to bite, can doubtless
find that his onerous duties as a cit
izen of Cincinnati call him to remain
there and assist in the upbuilding of
his favorite city-one brick at a time.
Kaufman, who has already rumors
of a reputation for frosty feet, is no
doubt preparing to find a plot of
ground in some locality to break into
the high calling of an onion producer.
More Brawn Than Brain
But if any of this bunch takes on
Jeffries and the boilermaker gets into
condition 1t is going to be the fiercest
slaughter since Mike the Bite and
Jerry the Goat fell out over a discus
sion of the nebular hypothesis and
pushed each others faces up into the
hair on Raspberry island. We shall
see that battle If 1t takes our wife's
diamond necklace and earrings to get
there.
But-once more-it is just now about
a 1891 shot that it never comes off,
unless with Johnson, and if he agrees
to fight Jeff it shows that he has
more courage than gray matter.
