JEFFRIES BOXES
AT PITTSBURG

PlTTSBI RG, June 16.-James j. .Jef-
fries, ex-champion of the world, and his
sparring partner, Sam Berger. went six
rounds before 1900 people at Duquesne
Garden last night, but the rounds were
nearer one minute in length each than
three, and there We're some signs oe dis
satisfaction among those who had expect-
ed to see eighteen minutes of boxing on
the part of jeff, who received $3.50 for
his appearance. Some of the audience
were so petulant that a procession started
for the door at the end of the first round
and by the time the six rounds were over
a good part of the audience was on the
street.
But Jeffries made a great hit at that

box the full three minute rounds when
he consented to go the six rounds in
stead of three. and that he fulfilled his
contract to the letter is asserted. II the
local management did not announce that
the rounds would he short Ii was not the
fault of Jeff. When he was brought into
the ring about 10 o'clock the audience Of
5000 arose and shrieked welcome. They
would not permit him 70 pull on his gloves
until he had said something. JEFF finally
made the following speech Il can't say
anything more than the papers have said
for me. When the right time comes I
will deliver the goods
And though the rounds were short, there

and widening of the channel between
Mustang and ST. JOscph's islands
Connecting this channel with the

Harbor Island will ensure permanent

is practical, according not only to
the opinion of Capt. John c. Oakes,
the United States engineer in charge
of the present work in progress at
Aransas Pass, but of other equally
eminent engineers. Such extension
would be less than one-fifth that
of another possessing other great
advantages over both.
But one end of this channel would
be open, that at its gulf extremity.
It's shore end and both sides will
be closed. Embankments both high
and wide, at each side, will not only
prevent the winds from blowing sand
into it., but will afford excellent
dockago for ships and trackage for
railways
Obviously It would cost much less
