SAN FRANCISCO, May IL
Who is going to be the boss on
the job when James ]. Corbett
joins the Jeffries camp?
Will it be Berger, or Choynski,
or Corbett? AS manager for the
big fellow, Berger has generally
been regarded as the high mogul
at Rowardennan. but as a matter
of fact Farmer" Burns seems to
be the only one of Jeffries' hand
lers who has been having anything
to do with tn ex-ehampion's con-
|ditioning, barring the little spar
ring that Jeffries has done. AL
of the prep" work, so far as ply
steal condition goes, has been un-
der the supervision of the old
wrestler. When Choynski came
out he announced that he would
take charge of Jeff's training, but
up to date all that he has been
known to do was to box a few
rounds with the big fellow. He
may have un'corked some of that
psycopathic-literature-music stuff

Manager Jim Mcclure, in order
ing a batting cage for the Cleve-
land team and issuing instructions
to his players to get busy, is set
ting an example, copied from
Hughey Jennings, which baseball
managers all over the country
would do well to follow.
The batting cage is a simple
continuance which does away with
the need of a catcher. ALI the
batter has to do is to stand up
in front of the cage and step in
to the ball the pitcher is offering
Jennings has had his Tigers use
the cage for a couple OF seasons
now, and he is enthusiastic over
II.
Batting before a cage in the
morning practice when the team Isl
at home will do great deal more
towards improving bum lamps
than sticking fungoes which some
kid Is kind enough to lob up. Ev-|
cry man on the team, including
the pitchers. can take his turn att
the bat, and the pitchers can put
on all the steam they want to.
Until Jennings introduced the
batting cage at Detroit 1 believe
college players were the only ones
who used the device. Jennings
coached the Cornell team several
seasons. and he found the cage
afforded the finest kind of prac-
tice for his youngsters in batting,
SO when he went to Detroit he
took a cage with him.
/ And what the Tigers do to the
bail is an old. sad story In every
lefty In the American league. Jen-
nings insists on morning workouts
flor his men whenever they are at
home. and the cage figures promi-
nentiy In them.
Managers of bali teams suffer
ing from batting slump could do
worse than investing some OF their
spare change in batting cage ans

He can't help it any more than
Corbett could when he was wear

wants to be popular and a good
fellow"
Jeffries is as much of a "good
fellow" as Johnson, only in a diff
ferent way. He is retiring. He
doesn't care for publicity of the
variety that shoves him into the
limelight. He agreed to fight
Johnson after he had retired, be-
cause he was forced and now it
is business matter with him.
Jeffries is the poorest self ad-
vertiser In the world. He greets
strangers introduced by his closest
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-05-14

friends with a curtness that is
taken for surliness. But 1t isn't
surliness, 1t is diffidence.
An example of his disposition
has been given twice, when excur-
sions arrived at Ben Lomond from
San Francisco. Both times Jeff
went fishing and the disappointed
returned here nursing grudges.
Around camp, with the cores
pondents, with the men he sees
daily, Jeffries is as pleasant a man
as anyone could ask for, but he
isn't an actOr-he is fighter,
pure and simple.
Don't get the idea that Jeffries

strangers but he's the biggest
hearted boy among his friends you

has had no noticeable effect.
A few days ago in Chicago Cor
bett told the reporters that when
he arrived at Rowardennan he
would be adviser in chief in all
that Jeffries did. If that should
prove to be true, the chances of
some fur flying down among the
pines and redwoods are awfulIy
good, for there is very little love
lost between Choynski and the ex-
pompadour. In fact they scarce
ly speak as they pass by, their en-
nifty dating back to their historic
fights at Fairfax and Carquinez
straits. With Corbett placed at
the head of things, it is reasonable
to expect that Choynski win de-
velop a decided peeve and then
something may be stirring. What
a great stunt it would be for the
ghosts of the past to arise and
spur the one-time rival gladiators
on to battle.
