TION FOR AFRICAN TRIP
BILLY SIXSMITH is INSTRUCT
OR TO STRENUOUS PRESIDENT.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. g.
For the past three days except this
one, of course, President Roosevelt
has been taking boxing lessons from
Billy" Sixsmith, former prize
fighter.
Battling Nelson recently had a talk
with the president concerning his
growing corpulency. During the week
John l.. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain
have also called. They talk pugiI-
ism. Then Sixsmith came and the
White House gymnasium was made
ready for the glove contestants.
Sixsmith is smaller than the presi-
dent, more wiry, quicker of foot, and
harder of muscle. Still, when he
meets him in the arena he has not
any walkover. Frequently the presi-
dent lands with both fists, one on the
stomach, the other ON the face.
From now until the end of next
month Mr.. Roosevelt will have his
daily exercise with Sixsmith. The
contest begin at p. m and last half
an hour, after which, the perspira-
ton streaming from his body, the
president rushes under a shower.
Then he takes plunge.
After a brisk rundown he goes to-
his room, rests for fifteen minutes. is
massaged, dresses and goes to the
dining room. When it is convenient
he takes a walk after the meal has
been finished, retires at l 1 and is up
next morning at Z.
He wants to be rugged and as fit
as a fiddle when he sails for Africa
