AS the result of examinations made
by State Chemist Robert e. Stallings
the federal pure food inspector
seized a whole carload of alleged

EGO A BIT LIGHTER,
JEFF" SAY TRAINERS

WARRENTON, Cal, April s.
Fearful that Jim Jeffries will round
to form too rapidly and possibly
go stale, Manager Sam Berger and
Trainer Farmer Burns have begged
him to go a bit lighter in his work.
That Jeffries is working too hard
is the talk of the camp, but he in
sists that he is not and refuses to
listen to the pleadings of his ad-
visers.
Jeffries started the fourth day OF
his training with another hike to
Boulder creek and return. Burns
and Berger accompanied him. He
made the last three miles of the re-
turn trip on a trot. After bath
and a rub down he ate heartily of
a breakfast.
I'm bit sore in the shoulders"
said Jeff to the United Press rep
resentative after his run this morn
ing. Il guess went at the hand
ball a bit too hard yesterday. l

ring has been set up.

NONE WORKED So
HARD AS JEFFR|ES
To DEFEND TITLE

Jeffries had fought more battles
to maintain his championship be-
fore he temporarily quit than any
other heavyweight belt holder
John L. Sullivan beat Kilrain in
1889, winning the championship, and
practically took a rest for three
years when he met COrbett at New
Orleans and lost. After beating
John L., Corbett fought only one
real battle in the ensuing five
years. Corbett fought Charley
Mitchell between the time he won
the championship and lost it to
Fitzsimmons, but that was his only
real fight of consequence. Fitz
won his title from Corbett at Car
son City on March II, 1897. He
never entered the ring again until
he lost to Jeffries two years after
ward. Jeffries was compelled to
fight nine battles to hold his cham
pionship, for just at the time when
he beat Fitzsimmons heavyweight
aspirants were growing on bushes.

given him by Ryan. Tommy is still
a fast, agile boxer, although he is

TY COB MAKES
SPECTACULAR PLAY

Playing with the Augusta
(Ga.) team against the Boston
Nationals, Ty Cobb figured in
one of the most remarkable
plays recorded in the annals of
baseball.
Moran Of Boston drove a long,
low fly between center and left
infeId. Coles of Augusta started
for it, and Ty Cobb started
also. The ball hit on Cobb's
outstretched finger tips and
bounded into the air.
Cobb stumbled and nearly
fell, but Coles drove forward
and knocked the ball into the
air with his sIoved hand as it
fell again, and Cobb, making
another reach for the ball, fail
ed to clutch it securely. Coles
again came to the rescue with
a drive toward the ground, and
he, too, failed to hold the ball
a second time.
Cobb threw himself at full
length as the ball Topped to-
ward the earth again, and this
time caught and held it with
his bare hand, three inches
from the ground. The entire
performance occupied nearly
full minute.
