He wound up his exhibition by going
three lively rounds with Sam Berger.
Though short, each was replete with
plenty of ginger and pepper. Jeff
rushed at Berger and roughed him
around the ring, playing with him like
a cat would play with mouse. Of

Berger is one of the cleverest big
men the ring has produced in recent
years, and naturally he did the best
he could to show off Jeff's prowess to
the crowd, but even at that he was
forced to take a few clips on the jaw
which Jared him up. One of the rounds
was cut very short when Referee Eddie
Smith noticed that the shifty Samuel
had been forced entirely off the raised
platform.
Throughout Jeff's wind appeared to
be about right, and he perspired freely.

ventured the opinion that he has done
too much training up to date. At all
