JeffrieS Dreams lie
!. LiCkS Jack Johnson

NEW YORK, Dec 11.-For the sec
ond time within a month Jim Jeffries
has dreamed that he knocked Jack
Johnson cut in four rounds. great
many battles, of course, are settled
in dreams. Bill Squires dreamed that
he knocked out Burns; Jim Corbett
dreamed that he beat F'itzsimmons.
Sometimes they come true and very
often they repeat with the reverse Eng
lish
Jeffries, however, is one of our
best little dreamers. Before every big
fight Jeff has at least two dreams
concerning the result He is extreme
ly nervous just prior to a big go, and
his troubled sleep is the result of these
dreams. Thinking that the sporting
world would like to know exactly what
Jeff dreamed, we wired the big fellow
and had him send us just what he
could recall of the dream he had con-
corning Johnson Here it is:
-Four rounds was all the fight went,
and l won with a left hand hook to the
jaw. AS I remember the thing now,
it was very warm day. I had never
fought in the open air before and the
light kept me squirting all the time,
Johnson and T tossed the coin for cor
ners and he won, taking the chair with
the sun to his back. In my corner the
sun was right in my eyes and Kid Nc
Coy, who was behind me- held par
asol over my head, as sat there wait
ing for the bell to ring Tim McGrath
was great fellow for taking a mans
mind off the big fight by telling these
stories, and Mccoy had me giggling
like big kid at the jokes
Il was bit nervous at that. My
first real fight in about seven years,
you know, and the mob, buzzing and
looking at me, like gawks, made me
fidgety. I don't remember about the
first three rounds, except that l missed
a lot. My eye wasn't right for dis
lance. L could see Johnson's black
shining head in front Of me, but
every time l let go it seemed that he
wasn't there. The sun was awfully
warm on my head and shoulders. 1t
reminded me of the night I fought
Sharkey. They had about 10000 cleo
trio lights over the ring for the NOV
ing pictures, and it was like fighting
in al oven

TALK SCHEDULE

college baseball as much as possible.
The convention is called on the re-
quest of E. D. Angel, manager of
athletics at the Oregon Agricultural
college, and was asked to be held in
Portland as that was considered to be
the point most easily accessible to all
the institutions Angeles plan is to
have each college in the conference
meet every other college for a series OF
at least three games 1t is argued
that if the institutions can do this it
will not only mean splendid baseball
schedule for each college .bpt it viii

JeffrieS Looks Awful
Good TO DR.. B.F. Roller

While Sam Berger was in New York
attending to the signing of the papers
for the Jeff Jack match, Roller boxed
with Jeffries one night, The doctor
does not say that he thinks he can
trim Jeff. Both Roller and Curley in
sist that the big fellow looks fine and
they both expect him to win, but the
Seattle SD rts, who have been watch
ing the pictures of the Johnson Ketch.-
ell fight this week, cannot see how
Johnson can lose. There is a grand
chance for someone being mistaken.
Roller is one of the best single
handed takers that ever threw out his
chest and said, 'L-a-d-i-e-s and
H. and he butted into
that monolCgue stunt as if he had
been on the circuit for years. They put
Doc o,1t with the swell front to do the
high brow part of the show. for he can
wear evening clothes without getting
fdgety with his hands, and he is nav
ing the time of his life travelling WITH
the champ ms while dragging down
his $500 per week.
Some of the men who were going TO
rim Roller out of Seattle are in jail,
while the big doctor is living on the
fat of the land and travelling in the
most select company of the boxing and
wrestling world

Radical changes in the football coach

left behind him enables him to learn
the fate Of his proposal. If 1t has been
