He wilted, and said the ten-dollar plate
had been turned over to the man for whom
it was cut. This man resided in New York

to me the 500 bond plate, together with

MIKE MURPHY SAYS "No.r
Impossible for Jeffries to Come Back Six Years Since He Really Trained.

Can Jeffries come back? That is the question that is agitating the mind of every unbiased ring enthusiast. If Jef- fries comes back and defeats Johnson he will make pugilistic history. Statis- tics are irrefutable, and they show a great task in store for the Californian.
 Mike Murphy, probably the best judge of athletes in this country today, has put himself on record as saying that it is a physical impossibility for Jeffries to do so.
 The last hard fight of Jeffries' career was on July 25, 1902, when he knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in eight rounds out in San Francisco. On Aug. IA of the same year Jeffries disposed of Jim Corbett in ten rounds at the Golden Gate. However, Jeffries did not come near to overtraining himself for that fight, and the Corbett he battered around the ring was not the same man who forced him to go 23 rounds in a previous battle at Coney Island. Cor bett was but q shell of his former self.
 It is over six years since Jeffries beat Corbett at San Francisco. That match really marked the end of Jeffries hard work in the roped arena. On Dec. 19 1903, Jack Munroe stood off Jeffries for four rounds at Butte. Jeffries was in far from perfect physical condition at the time. The last fight of his career was held on Aug. 26, 1904, at San Fran cisco. Jeffries beat Munroe into in sensibility in two rounds. However. Jeffries did very little real strenuous training for this contest As a matter of fact Munroe was beaten before he entered the ring. The Butte miners physical condition was a joke. So really it narrows down to a period of over six years since Jeffries has train ed to the limit for fight.

NORWICH SoccERs.
Lorraines from Westerly Will Be Hard
 Pushed by Home Team.

Followers of the Norwich associa- tion football team are asserting that the Lorraines of Westerly will have to travel fast gait when the two teams meet this afternoon at Sachem park The Norwich forwards are looked to to pepper the Westerly goal with a steady succession of shots, which will give the Westerly defender his hands full. F. Manville and ". Brown make fast right wing for the home team, Aleck Finlayson is unbeatamle at his position at center, and A. Manville and W. White fill out the other end of the attacking line in good shape.
 Behind them are Halfbacks J. Cor ners. N. Reid and T. Parsons. who can be depended upon to feed the ball up in satisfactory woy, while w. Fer guson and V. Caron as backs will offer strong opposition to the Westerly for wards in defending the home goal, where H. Finlayson stands to ward off the shots that may come through the line in front of him. Altogether the Norwich team is promising to give a good exposition of the favorite old English game.
 The Westerly line up will be as fol- lows: A. Tetlow, goal; Johnson and Ward. fullbacks; Fyfe. Jones and c. Tetlow. halfbacks; J. Tetlow, w. Rob- inson. right forwards; J. Whewell.cen- ter; Kenyon, Arnott, left forwards.
