" L w ohN, ARIlI 'lAS"'hA-
out Joe Choynski s scheme the training
camp of the prize fighter of the future
will consist of the following imple-
ments OF warfare:
One pianola, one library equipped
with the choicest literature of all ages,
choir of singers, twelve Gainsborough
paintings, twelve Gibson sketches, three
sculptors at work, nine artists and two
college professors to discuss, science.
Yes, that is Mr. Choynski S plan,
Tho only comment Of Importance so
far upon the art-literature-and music
brand of training has emanated from
Champion Johnson, who is now on the
Pacific coast,

biles ought to figure in il. No training
camp of these modern days is entirely
fitted up unless it contains an automo.
bile. I like art and literature and
painting myself, but don't forget the
automobile. And then, too, social diver.
About three times q week a tea ought
to be given. and grand ball would
be the proper way 10 end training.
A public reception would Z go bad,
either especially il the guests brought
presents. The real stylish camps ought
TO furnish a couple of weddings, also. -
The referee of the Jeffries-J johnson
fight will be selected next week. JEFF
ries has said that he is willing to let
Sam Berger represent him in the selec-
tion of referee. Jeffries wants a
referee who knows his business; who
has no bias and who is sufficiently well
known TO insure satisfaction among the
spectators who see the battle. John
son has spoken in favor of Jack Welsh,
but it is really doubtful as TO final
selection, Berger has alreaay drawn
his FIVE choices against those OF John
son.
Here is a real, legitimate interview
with James j. Jeffries, in which he
tells how he will beat Johnson:
81 am going 10 rush Johnson off his
feet in whirlwind of blows early in
the fight. I have found in my ring
career that my best fighting is done
in that way. After selecting the most
vulnerable spot ] will concentrate all
my wallops in that direction for about
two or three rounds. After that il
will be easy, although the light will
last until / get my opportunity. | beat
Jack Monroe In that way, and that is
the way ! am going to beat johnson.
/ don t care whether he knows before
hand OF not. If he didn't know he
would as soon as | get busy in the ring.
In my second fight with Corbett /

before he knew where he was"
High Glass Bout.
A movement is on foot to bring about
the highest-cluss bout in the history of
boxing. The opponents mentioned are

guidance of Jack O'Brien, while Bar.

A battle between these two would
bring out the Four Hundred in full
force, and while there would hardly be

boxers.

trying to bring the two amateurs to-
fighting with society in a manner some
thing scandalous.
Stanley Ketchel has Quit wearing
high heels. Stanley, ever since his Mon
tana days, has worn FTeneh heels; not
so much from choice as from habit.
In the old days Ketchel used to work
on ranch in Montana, and he said it
was there that he got in the fashion
Of wearing high-heeled boots. Later,
when Stanley graduated into the fight
ing class and ceased TO wear boots, he
had heels three inches high built upon
his shoes. Ketchel says that he found
high heels made him quicker on his
feet, but he is apparently quick enough
now.
The correspondents at Rowardennen
who have viewed "with alarm the
apparent irritability Of Jeffries do not
know the big fellow in training. II is
a peculiar characteristic about the ex-
champion that he doesn' Z want to be
bothered when getting ready for n fight.
He centers his whole attention upon his
training work and doesn't want to be
disturbed at all
In the old days JEFF went about like
a grouchy bear half the time he was
in camp. Sometimes he would 90 about
all day without speaking more than
half dozen words. If asked a question
and move on. If he was bothered too
much ne would lock the doors and do
his training stunts in solitude.

yet different from all other great fight.

Cut Out Butting.
Billy Papke, one Of the latest re.
cruits at the Jeffries training camp. is
killing two birds with one stone. While
helping to train JEFF he is getting into
tip.top shape himself.
