yet his appearance here at a time

JEFFRIEs IN GOOD TRIM.

Local sporting men who saw Jim
Jenries in Portland, Greg, this Win
ter were astounded by the wonder
iul change in the former champions
condition. When last seen here Jer
was hog fat and unable to get out
OF his own way. Now, according to
the reports OF those who have seen
MIN recently. he is nearly down TO
hghting weight, Is fast on his feet.
strong and fit 20 take care Of himself
az a moments notice.
There is no denying the fact that
there has been some doubt in the
minds of Jeffries' friends here as TO
his ability 20 get into form again.
but this is rapidly changing since
the good news has come that he Is
even now nearly fit.
According 10 those who have had
talks with Jeffries he is confident
that Johnson will not be in the least
troublesome for him to beat He
told one OF his friends in Portland
that he did not expect the fight TO
last ten rounds unless Johnson was
able TO stay away from him longer
than that, which he seemed to doubt.
II / can get him at all 1t will be ali
over pretty quick, for any heavy
weight that Ketcbel can floor, / can
beat in punch" he is reported as
saying.

GLEASON REAL moss

Certain it is that Cohroth can do
nothing here without Gleason. Clea
son is IN good with the powers that
be. and anything that ne saws goes
$50 far as San Francisco is concerned
10 may be that the advertised COM
ing OF Comroth Will bring Richard
and Gleason together. The Richard
end seems 90 be as strong as ever
and DO is broadly limited that the
Nevada man has assurance that DE
can pull of the fight. and that be.
Tore "a week passes Gov. Spry of
Otah, may issue "a statement to the
eject that inasmuch as Jenries and

JOHNSON WILL RETREAT.
NOT JEFF.

johnson has always been a defen-
sive fighter. He has allowed his op-
ponents 90 bring the battle 20 him
and has backed around the ring. cut
ting his men down with uppercuts
Now he is not going TO be able 90
hurt Jef 90 any great extent BY this
style OF battle. because the latter
with his left hand extended and pur-
suing his favorite crouch method OF
fighting. viii leave few vulnerable
points exposed. ANY one who has
followed athletics OF any sort knows
that IL is much more wearing on a
man TO back up than TO walk for
ward. Johnson Is going 20 back up.
That is the style he always has pun
sued, and he will not change Il for
Jenries. The colored fellow, backing
away from Jeff. is going TO sap his
strength much more rapidly than his
foe. The latter, OF course, Is not go
ing 70 gain strength as the fight pro
crosses. but he viii conserve more
OF his energy than the present cham
pion, and this is going 20 tell as
the hight mounts up into double
figures in rounds
There has been so much talk
about Jen's endurance being bad
that ] think il is time for some one
70 SAY something about this matter.
Now the doctors say that the big fel-
low has fat around his heart and
ether organs. ] am no doctor and
carnuJ deny this. but / do knox
that his lungs are not affected. :
lot OF people are prone to believe that
his wind is bad because he puffs after
his workouts with his show.

cause while he 10 jumping from town

JEFF'S BREATHING NOT
INJURED.

Every one knows that / take good
care OF myself. and l am free to
confess that I am about all In after
fifteen minutes stunt on the mat
Wait till Jeff gets into his training
camp and does a few stunts in the
mountains, and you will see how
good hts wind is. He will have plenty
OF breathing capacity, because I know
his lungs have not been hurt during
his absence from the ring. All he
needs is plenty OF good. hard work
and he will go into the ring In fine
fettle. The other day we wrestled
for a half-hour and he finished fully
as strong as / did. or course. he Is
not a finished grappler, but he gave
me hard battle. was forced 70 use

BY FRANK GOTCH

Perhaps ] am going out of my
field when I write anything about the
pugilistic game. but since I Joined
the allstar athletic troupe and work
ed with Jenries daily I have become
greatly interested in boxing and
learned just how great a man the re-
tired champion IS I believe that ]
am in a position 60 know as much
about Jef's condition as any one. as
I have worked with him every DAY
for the past eight weeks. In all of
the time chat 7 have been with him
I have not discovered any weakness
in the retired champions makeup.
and I can see no reason why ne
should not so into the ring July 9TH

am firm In the belief that he viii be

as he ever was.
Many questions have been raised
about Jcnries since he first am
nOunceo that DE would fight johnson.
The CRY from every quarter OF the
globe has been: "Hc can't get back

few rounds. but in Ions fight ne

ored fellow"

doubt. is a good argument for the
supporters OF Johnson. but 10 is not
true. Jcnries not only will be right.
but the longer the fight goes on the
better chance be will have That
sounds like foolish statement.
