CORBETT TELLS HOW
 JEFFRIES BEAT HIM
 IN MEMORABLE BATTLE

had found him easy to hit all the way and never gave him a chance to set while in close. I knew he had
 a terrific wa1lop in both hands, and l simply jabbed and got away from
 every one of his leads. This was for twenty-two rounds Here. it is:
 As we came out of our~corners for this round jabbed my left to Jef's face three times before he could even start a swing. I was a bit tired from the terrific pace I had been setting, but figured it cinch for me to last Jeff finally worked me over near the ropes with right and left swings which missed me by a mile. When I was within two feet of the ropes I noticed that Jeff pulled his left un- usually far back I knew that he strength and stepped back with an unusual spring. I fairly threw my back into the ropes, and I hit them with such force that they threw me forward right into Jeff'S massive fist and it caught me clean on the jaw. 1t must have been with all the force of the springing rope thrown in as good measure.
 I dropped to the floor like a wet towel, and they tell me that I never stirred until long after I had been carried to my corner.
 I have often heard people say that there never was such a thing as a lucky blow, but, well, what's the use.
 I sure have no kick corning. Jeff gave me another chance and he beat me again. He was the greatest fight half as good when he meets Johnson as he was when I fought him he'll beat that negro just as sure as the sun shines.

Jim Corbett. probably the clever est big man the ring ever saw, tells in the following story how he was de- feated by Jim Jeffries in their first championship battle, which was held at the old Seaside Athletic Club at Coney Island. Corbett lasted until the middle of the twenty third round, and gave Jeff a terrible beating until he was finally put away. Following is Gentleman Jim's'' story of that great battle:
 (By James J. COrbett in the Evening
 JournaI.)
 When I was training for the fight with EitzSimmonS, the one in which I lost the title, at Carson, Billy De- fancy brought a big husky youngster me. It was Jim Jeffries, and from the very first day he put the gloves on with me knew that he would sometime be 8 great man. He d1dn know anything about boxing, but he could take g. terrible beating and still dreamed then that he would some day meet me in a ring.
 Well, to get down to the story of our fight at Coney Island, I want to say that Jeff has often told me since that gave him his hardest battle, the outcome after the fifteenth round. It was to go twenty-five rounds, and he had hardly landed a blow on me until he finally worked tE4at terrible left of his to my jaw.
 As the readers want to know only what Jeffries did in that fight it is probably best that I go not through all the early rounds of the fight, but simply tell of the final round, the

JEFFRIES IS FAR FROM
 CONDITION, LATEST RUMOR
Especial from United Press.>

New York, April 12-From the raining camp of Jim Jeffries at Rowardennon, are coming today con- dicting reports of the former cham pion's condition. New York fight fans have been led to believe that the big fighter was in excellent shape and rapidly getting into fighting trim.
 A well known sporting man in the camp, however, who has seen Jeff 8 work, declares it will be long time before the champion is fit to enter the ring. Jeff, according to this man. puffs like a porpoise when he works and he lacks the old time vigor- This same critic declares there is not a man in the training camp who can handle the big fellow, who seems greatly worried. Neither Berger, Burns. nor Armstrong is a scientific trainer.
 On the other hand, usually we'll informed fight fans who have watch ed Jeffries in his early training stunts aver that he has lost his surplus weight, that his wind is good and that he is in unusually good humor. Varying reports come from the train ing camps of all fighters but as usual thing they do not start as soon as in the present case.

THIS WEEK AT POLES
The Bill Finely Balanced One With l.. Herlein as The
 Head Liner.

Seldom has nature gifted any woman
 more than Lillian Heriein. Beautiful in face and figure, she has a, powerful, richly cultivated voice, the art of act ing and the art, of pleasing. In fact all that art can add to nature has been contributed to her nultifold gifts. Miss Herlein, at Polis last night, sang four songs, in which she travelled the range of vaudeville song, and exhibited
 a series of gowns such as fill women with joy, concluding in a novel bath ing scene. in which the gown is cast aside, and one is left to decide how much the modern raiment of the sex case it would seem. not much is add ed. The first song was Miss Man hban fo1,owad 4ffaI 9lGaly Mmn f razzini's Job.'' This was the vehicle that carried a number of gems of classic song. which Miss Herlein ren- dered in a way that left nothing to be desired. Then she sang Eyes, Eyes, Eyes, and Swim. Swim, Swim. makes of her hands and arms. Miss Her1ein was lately the prinla donna of 'sFhe Rose of Algeria" It is no won der that the production gained fame

 Jack Moffett and Elsie Clare sing and dance. They conclude with a whirlwind waltz, which is not half bad.
 The Bondini Bros are billed as mas ter of the accordeon, and this they really are. The despised instrument, in proper hands, is a vehicle of great range, power and expression. If any one doubts the statement. let him hear these brothers.
 Frank Orth. the trick pianist. and Harry Fern. the '''sign the book mes senger boy, were back again. funny as ever. Fern still has that deep, rich bass which fills a house without eff team and clever also.
 Lola Merrill and Frank Otto do little conversational stunt called t-Af- ter the Shower It is one of those things that is deliciously entertaining if it is well done, and worse than It was well done, and the audience was greatly pleased.

A SMALL RED SPOT
Novel Experiment. by Which It May
 Be Made to Disappear

A peculiar feature about poslam, the new skin discovery is that no ne is asked to buy it without first sending to the Emergency Laboratories No. a2 West Twenty-fifth street New York City, for an experimental sample and applying same to an affected part of the skin, about the size of a silver dol lar. It will clear the spot so treated in tWenty-fOur hours-a remarkable visual demonstration of it's powers.
 While poslam has been mentioned principally in connection with the cure of eczema, the most stubborn of skin diseases, it must be remembered that when used for itch, hives, pimples, blotches, acne, itching feet, scaly scalp. chafing of infants and similar minor skin troubles it's action is all the more pronounced, results being seen after an overnight application. As only small quantity of poslan is necessary to cure such eases, a special fifty-cent package. usually sufficient, has been placed on sale at Jennie Hamilton's Pharmacy and other leading drug stores in Bridgeport and throughout the country.

BEECHER HAD IT ON
 "KNOCKOUT" BROWN

New York, April 12.-willie Beecher gave "Knockout'' Brown the worst beating of his career last night in the main terf-round bout at the Olympic Athletic Club Not only did the little East Slider establish decisive lead in all but the second and fourth rounds-whfch were even-but he du- I1licated his performance of few weeks ago by dropping Brown in the eighth round for the count of seven, and only some very clever sta1ling on the latter's part saved him from a Knockout.
 Brown has long been rep1ted to be a g1uttOn for punishment. He proved last night that he deserves whatever honor may accrue from such a repUtae- tion. Reecher hooked. Wung. j2bbad, and DDpercut him until Brown reeIed, but, try as he might. Beecher was un- able to land the final punch. AS it was a worse beaten man. barring a complete knockout, never left the ring at the end of a ten-round fight than Brown last night.
