Jeffries passed up the boxing today on
advice Of his trainers and attendants who
feared he was setting bit too fast a pace
in the whirlwind stunts of the last few
days Old associates of Jeffries, who have
studied the fighter closely say the psycholo-

more than that of any other pugilist and
that he requires a certain amount Of sport
