Robert Edgren, Of the Evening World,

not like the bunch as training part

"A few weeks ago" writes Edgren.
"Jeffries said he was going to get two
or three of the toughest and toughest
men he could find, and have them belt
him all over the lot, until he became
so hard-hided that nothing could hurt
him.
ITO me that seems a far better plan
than 10 work with two such tappers as
Jim Corbett and Jack Twin Sullivan,
neither Of whom could make dent in
Jeffries few years ago. Of course. JEFF
fries might pick up a few pointers in
cleVeTness, but he doesn't need clever
ness to whip Johnson. He needs en-
durance and aggressiveness.
