Jeff's first day was marked by

to one of the most delicious steak
dinners have ever had.
Jeff was given a fine big cut and
told to go ahead with it. He wait

then he started think it was Billy
Delaney who asked for the tabasco
sauce. jeff watched him use it,
and then asked for it himself He
covered his steak with it and got
busy.

he had never seen catsup in SO

further attention to it until he got
the first bite Of steak into his
mouth He was game for a few

Champion Jeffries' Irritation with
that Nevada gold that has been the
bait at which all the fighters of any
prominence in the world have been
casting longing look, is being
taken seriously now and if the hand
writing on the wall can be read
there is a heavyweight battle on
the pugilistic horizon that is due to
attract more attention and cause
more talk than any of the recent
contests.
The main reason for promoter
wanting to match Jeffries and
Squires Is the demand of the public,
"A big fight Is almost necessary, and
then jeff Is wanted in the ring
again. If he goes too long without
fighting his retirement would be
taken seriously and there would be
trouble In earnest over the heavy
weight title. AS It stands at pres
ent the public mind is almost of the
one opinion: that is, that jeff is the
kingpin of them all
will never forget a story on jeff
told during his first appearance in
my training camp as a sparring
partner: He was a big green lad
who stood for lot of fun and pun
ishment. In fact nothing feazed
him and he was always ready for
more.
