fine points of the mat game and has
the strength and endurance to resist
Gotch's strenuous tactics. The match
is for a purse of $4,000. Two falls
out of three at the catch-as-catch-can
style of wrestling will decide the
match.
Gotch has been in the game many
years and has met and defeated most
of the worlds best heavyweight grap-
piers. He won the title from Hacken-
schmidt, ''the Russian Lion" In this
city last year. He is matched to meet
Hackenschmidt again in Australia

JEFFR|ES TRIES
VIGOROUS MEANS

Reports from Boston. where Jeh-
ries Is now playing, indicate that ne
is making an honest effort TO get into
physical condition to re-enter the
ring with a view of fighting Jack
Johnson for the heavyweight cham
pionship.
In his stage work, Jeffries boxes
only a few one-minute rounds and
does the regular stunts in regard TO
sha low-boxing, rope-skipping, bag
punching, etc. These show him to be
as fast as ever, but without the old
endurance. He Is able TO smother big
Sam Berger, his sparring partner. dur
ing the short space that they are In
the ring. however.
The real work comes after the cur
tain falls when JEFF" works an hour
or more with apparatus, getting into
perspiration and reducing his
weight. He has begun outdoor work
also, running seven miles at a time at
a jog-trot. In the effort to reduce the
fat upon his body. he Is doing many
gymnastic stunts on the mat, one or
these being to lie fiat on his back.
catch a heavy medicine ball with his
feet and return 1t In the same way to
Sam Berger.
At the present time Jeffries weighs
about 265 pounds and has reduced his
waist line largely, and his excess
weight being now largely in the upper
part OF his body and on his legs. He
declares that he has never dissipated
TO the extent that he was credited
with doing, although he admits that
he still eats what he likes. since 1t Is
not real training. but merely prelim-
mary work taken up with a view to
convincing himself as to whether or
not years of inactivity have altered
his condition so as TO make a cham
pionship contest impossible.
Not until Jeffries is himself salts
fed will he announce whether or not
he will fight Johnson.

day with Fielder Jones finally con.
vinced c. A. Comiskey, president OF
the Chicago White Sox, that his Tor
mer managers determination to re-
tire wrom active participation In base
ball was irreyocable and that the only
possible way to retain his services
would be as a partner In the owner
ship OF the White Sox, a proposition
which the Chicago magnate declined
TO consider or discuss.
The conditions under which Jones
could have been induced to remain
In charge OF the White Sox were not
new to Comiskey nor were they
sprung on him here without warning.
They we're contained in Jones letter
to the club owner which failed to
reach him in Chicago, out did reach
him in San Francisco.
President Comiskey has known for
weeks that the only way he could
keep Fielder in the business was a a
co-magnate. and that idea he woulI
not entertain seriously. Jones offered
to return at the same salary ss last

something to do with the purchase OF
