the most encouraging developments in

However, the raising of these vege-

Minot, NJ d., July 3O.-The drills of

formation is the rap rock, covering

There is intense interest all over
this section in the experiment that the

day broke his silence and commented
on the various reports given out by mis-
hackers that he was dopted in the
championship battle.
There was something the matter
with me. They sure did something to
me, and it will come out some day.
said Jeffries.
The word drugs" he did not use, but
the deliberate mind of the big giant
which has been slowly recuperating
from the agony of defeat, has reached
the conclusion that all was not right
with him.
If Jeffries ever dons a glove again
it will not be in hurry.
Il won't fight Al Kaufman in Phil
adelphia on Labor day." he said.
About another fight with Jack John
son, have nothing to say. l want
to be left alone; that's ALL"
The decisive statement by Jeffries
would indicate that the big fellow is
not going to mix up in the boxing game
again soon. Jeffries returned from n
weeks stay at Catalina island, where,
in company with Tex Richard and Jack
Ripper, he has been enjoying a short
vacation, putting in all his time fishing.
Billy McCarney's telegram, Offering
him $4,000 to meet Al Kaufman in a
round no-decision go at Philadel-
phia on Labor day, was read to JEFF
fries, bringing from him the above
short but decisive talk.

ahead and answer them, Nothing do

nouncement of the former fighter.
