ELEVEN ROUNDS OF
LIVELY BOXING
BY JEFFR|ES
Partners Used Up in
Strenuous Bouts in Which
Champion Suddenly got Busy
With Gloves.


Ben Lomond, cal. May - Eleven
rounds Of lively boxing was served up
to visitors at the training Camp to-
day, the best show they have enjoyed
for a week. Jeffries was in a good
humor and felt like working. He
wanted to 30 a round or two more.
hut Sam Berger was not in a condi-
ton totaccOmmodate the fighter after
two rounds of fast milling.
Bob Armstrone was used for three
rounds. This bout was not exciting. as
the negro is extremely clever in de
fensive work ana Jetfrins always finds
il difficult to reach him. The work
with Armstrong is considered splen-
did practice for Jeffries, because OF
tho similarity between the tactics of
Armstrong and the black champion.
The bouts With brother Jack JEFF
fries, Berger and Joe Choynski We're
of the rip ana tear order. The Choyn-
ski affair vas particularly interesting
for the spectators. Jeffries handled
the veteran in anything but a gentle
manner ana Choynski came out Of the
ring with a broken tooth. a bad ear
and a damaged nose.
Rope skipping and hand ban fol
lowed the boxing, and in the after
noon Jcffries put in another hour In
the gymnasium. He was happy and
Whistled ana sang all through his
work.
Jeffries will leave the camp Friday
afternoon for san Francisco, where
he appears in a sparrins exhibition IN
the evening. He will return in an
automobile which he has just pHr-
chased

GOOD ROADS EASILY
AND cHEAPLY MADE.

In the discussion of good roads
Tor the state there seems to be too
much reference to the huge approp-
riations needed and too much reli-
ance on what the state or federal
power could do, says an editorial
n the Spokesman Review.
No doubt large expenditure upon
rural roads would be effective and
perhaps generally justifiable, but
great improvement could be made
by simple means at hand.
A district in Georgia is now be-
ing written up and photographed as
model good-roads county and the
excellent roads are the result OF
simple work. One farmer began to
drag the road in front Of his place
with split log hauled by horse
at each end and drawn at an angle
so that 1t not only packed the road
but graded it toward the center
No expensive machinery was used
and little hauling OF any material
Soon the whole district were using
split logs and the fine roads, with
their saving of time and money
were the result.
Such simple methods are frequent
". more effective than more expen
sive systems and they can be ap
! Piled by any district.
