 Fight fans all over the country are elamoring for Jeffries to reconsider his decision never to enter the ring again as a principal. They want nm to settle the much-disputed question in regard to Jack O'Briens title. Jef- fries so far has shown he is possessed of keen business sagacity along with good horse sense He concludes. ana rightly, too, that 1t is better to be an undefeated champion of the world. with wellpaying farm eight Innes from Los Angeles and bank account that insures him a good living the rest of hiss lifetime than to be continually training for every mushroom cnam- rion that springs up.
 The regular weekly shoot of the Gun Club will take place !nIs aIter- Eoon at the Don Luis traps. Weather conditions permitting, ii is expected there will be some record work Gor e. c. E. Rinehart won the cup last Sun day. with the low score of 19. He will be called upon to do better work than this if he expects to retain an interest in it.
 That old warhorse, Joe Strinker, has taken a layoT so as to prepare l himself for the coming battle with | NcKeever. Joe is doing great deal l of his road work with Walter Bowman, | This fight is exciting great deal of interest among the local sports. as they both have number of vic tories to their credit. Heretofore 1t | has been a hard matter to get anyone i Ic go against Strinker, owing to his | weight, but when McKeeVer con- 1 descended to take him on, providing | he made 14S pounds, there was no | lime lost in signing articles. Re | ports from McKeever's camp state he | is in the best of condition and reaay I, to put up the fight of his life. Those 1 who are fortunate enough to get the | lip as to time and place of this con test should be well repaid for tnelI trouble.

He is doing most of bis road work early in the morning, while the afternoon :s devoted to inside work. This should prove q rattling good con test and should draw crowoei .>-tISe, as both boys have numerous friends who are backing them, and there will be no chance for g hippodrome, and tEose who attend will get run for their money The articles Of agree ment specify that both contestants shall weigh in at 3: 30 o'clock the day of the. contest, and that if either party fails to make the required weight oi l30 pounds or less, he shall forfe.t s25 and the stake money will be w.,l drawn and they will then wrestle for the gate receipts, winner take all. Poth principals have posted .s-..fE ot s25 each with the official sIaHe- holder, A. l.. Manahan. the balance, SI5, to De posted by the fst of May.
 Atse,l is not only 2 worlds feather weight champion. but he is acknoWI edged as the worlds boxing champion in that there is none so clever as he in the science of boxing.
 The little champion is lightning fast on his feet, and with his fists he be wilder; his opponent with lavish | display of the pair of gloves hs weari and is able to put EsoSt cf shsm into q trance by shec- els-e-ze e-=.

 Abe does not depend wholly uEaE his eleverness with the gloves to WIT his battles, however, and is as fox. as any ring general existing in tness days. He is also marvel al tCct work, which does not mean that hC runs away and tires out his opponen. ( in foot race, but he can step some ! and this stands him in good stead in l avoiding punishment. lS
 In rushing into close quarters, mix ing it effectively and getting away without return by his opponent, he is a past master, and from the time the l gcas rings for the start of hostilities until it is all ended he is going at a t rate that is amazing. I
