Only one regular feature of the
training routine was adhered 10 by
Jenries today. That was baseball on

once In the morning and once in the
late afternoon The morning game
was a variation OF the usual batting

Jenries and his trainers and a fen,

OF preparation is that he is doing
those things which he likes. He al
ways was a great fellow to be out
of doors and has the playful dispo.
sitton OF a boy. He is an enthusiastic
fisherman and hunter, and hardly a
day passes that he is not tramping
across the country in search OF game
or fish. In doing this he is following
his own inclinations. enjoying him
self TO the limit and at the same time
gradually getting himself into shape
for a fight. By mixing up pleasant
things with the always hard things
of the training camp Jeff is sure TO
come through in good shape. A good
disposition is one of the greatest
aids TO a fighter. and a fellow. who
is lighting, hunting and playing ball
with all the spirit OF a street gamin
cannot but be of good cheer.
SHOWS OLD-TIME BOXING SKILL.
Jeffries had done little in the box
ing line to date, but what he has
done has demonstrated to all who
have seen him that be has lost none
of his old-time cunning. The same
skilful lodging and footwork that
caused him TO outlook Corbett in
their second meeting, and the old
time accuracy of hitting still are his.
The best thing OF all in his work
has been the proof that his wind is
right No man whose bellows are
working badly can go eight OF ten
miles on the road and end with a two
or three mile sprint. then follow with
baseball, handball. boxing and wood
chOpping. Jeffries's endurance will
be o. K. All his friends may rest as
sured of this and / want TO repeat
the same statement that I made three
months ago-that the longer the
bout goes the better will be the
chances of the white man. He Is
seemingly impervious TO fatigue and
in a long battle his tremendous
weight wiz tell greatly in his favor.
When Jeff went TO ROwardenan he
was much nearer TO lighting trim
than he thought and his first hard
work put him on such an edge that
he declared. and so did the best
critics on the Coast. that he was
right for a fight. All he has TO do
from now on is 20 keep in his pres
ent trim and he will climb into the
ring July 4th ready 20 fight as we'll

TRAINERS DISAPPOINTED.

In the afternoon Jeffries' trainers
prepared for the expected workout

lighting toys for his first work with
the big fellow. Jeff drifted down TO
the water. as he himself probably
intended, for a short row in the cool
air in the heat OF the day. The morn
ing rowing had blistered his hands.
and he wore cotton gloves. Then he
started out on what proved to be a
very long row. With Melville and
Adams in the stern seat. the skin
carried an excess weight OF fully $50
pounds, but JEFF pulled back and
forth without firing for more than
two hours. Other boaters went out,
and returned after a while wearied.

trip. until the watchers on shore
wondered at his endurance.

LANGFoRD CAN GO ROUTE.

Langford has proved he can go the
route and be strong. II Jeffries wins
from Johnson, as ] think he will,
there is sure 70 be a demand that
he give Langforj a chance. Many
may say that Sam is too small for
the Big Bear" OF California, but
he is no smaller than Fitzsimmons,
and there is every reason for believ-
ing that he can hit just as hard as
Ruby Robert. Langford now is on his
way to fight Ketchel six rounds in
Philadelphia. April cath. He is not
liable to run into a snag in such a
short bout with the Thunderbolt, and
should come up 20 July 4th with a
clean enough record 20 demand a
fight from the winner.
This fight between Ketchel and
Langford. by the way. should be a
terrific one. Sam surely is right just
now, and reports say that Ketchel at
last has awakened TO the realization
OF the fact that he has a real fight
on his hands and is training. Both
men have terrific punches, but I do
not look for either to take much of
chance in this fight, which prob
ably will go the limit. Langford Is
far the cseverer of the two and is
fully as hard a thumper as Ketchel.
A long battle between the pair would
be a great card for an opener Of the
