fact, the big man slipped and fell;
but Munroe boosted of his alleged tri-
umph until Jeff's anger was aroused
and another fight arranged. They
met in San Francisco, and Munroe
went down and out in the second
round.
In his preparation for his fight
with Johnson, Jeffries has done the
hardest work he was ever known
to undergo His methods have been
peculiarly his own as a rule. He
went in for bear shooting, fishing
mountain climbing and the like. and
his trainers had little to say about
what he did.
In preparing for Johnson, however,
the retired champion has left no part

dence, and not even the coarse and in
sulting jubes that frequently greet
him from fight spectators seem to
have the power to disturb him. Even
when ducking a storm of blows and
showing wonderful skill in evading
the onslaughts of his opponent, John
shon never loses his poise nor his
power of observation. His eyes take
in and appraise everything that tran
spires at the ringside. He seems to
hear every comment made by the on
lockers, and even in the midst of a
clinch, when every muscle is tense
will recognize a witty sally from the
audience with a flash of his ready
smile, and, like as not, an equally
witty rejoinder thrown at the aud
fence over the reeking shoulder
against which he is pressing.

upon which his hackers count, be-
lieving it impossible to rattle him by
any known ring tactics. That his
good nature does not indicate a low
order of intelligence. however, has
been clearly shown by his clever

he was an ex-champion beyond doubt
unless he did something, and JEFF
went out 10 do It in the next round.
He tore after Corbett, minding the

than he would mind so many rain
