Attorneys who are interested in the case of "Alonzo Bailey vs. the state of Ala bama," which has been appealed to the United States supreme court, have been notified that the hearing before the high tribunal Is to be had on Monday or Tues day of next week.

 Last year when the case went to the United States tribunal it was sent back without an opinion on the validity of the law, owing to the fact that the matter had not first been thrashed out as re- ouired before the Alabama tribunals. Dis senting voice was found at the time, how CT, two of the justices insisting that the case be argued on its merits.
 It is claimed that the contract laws of Alabama are in violation of the four teenth amendment to the United States constitution, which prohibits involuntary servitude.

JEFF STEPS ON HIS
own FOOT in ring
Big Fighter OversIeepS and Is
So Clumsy His Trainers
Have Blue Monday

BEN LOMOND, May 9.-Jeffries put
pared to his work last week he was
slow both of eye and foot, and the au-
dience in the gymnasium, which in
cIuded Promoter. Tex Rickard and JEFF
fries brother. was disappointed.
To begin with, Jeffries slept until
late in the morning and when he ap-
peared in the ring stripped for action
he lacked the life that he has shown
on other days To make matters worse
the crouch which Jeffries displayed
during the early part of his training
siege returned in double force and the
fighter was affabIe as a gorilla
Seven rounds in all marked the ring
work Three with Joe Choynskt were
featureless except as showing that the
former champion was not up to form.
In the second round of his bout with
Bob Armstrong the spectators were led
to think that he had dropped the negro,
for Armstrong stretched his full length
on the mat 1t developed, however,
that 1t was only slip. few moments
later Jeffries stepped on his own foot
and went down in the spot where Arm
strong had fallen.
After the boxing the striking bag
came in for a hard trouncing and later
handbalI was INDUCED in. AS a whole,
however, the day was filled with dis
appointment.
Rickard will leave here tomorrow
morning. He declared that he and
Berger had not discussed the referee
question.

bling over these same referees who
gave satisfaction in the past.
The big battle does not figure to be
one that a referee will have to de-
eide. Nobody seems to think that
referee viii have anything more to do
than to count the loser out and keep
out of view of the spectators. Both
fighters are easy men to referee for.
There have been a lot of petty jeal-
ousies and little differences among a
certain clique that has been running
the fight game in the past and these
! edly responsible for some of the OBJ
jections held against referees that
have been named.
Jim Jeffries expressed himself to
Billy Papke that he would like to see
the Kewanee lad fight when he meets
Joe Thomas on Saturday afternoon,
and there is a likelihood that the big
fellow may be at the ringside Papke
intends to send an automobile after the
big fellow and have him here.
Papke viii join Jeff's camp after his
fight with Thomas and will work with
him right along. The two have be-
come great friends and Jeff looks upon'
the Kewanee fighter as a good man to
help him out
PkPKE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR BOUT
Papke is in excellent shape for his
coming fight and he expects to stow
away the local fighter via the knock
out route. Papke did considerable
road work and finished in the after
noon by boxing three rounds with Wal
ter Stanton and the same number of
rounds with Frank Jeffries
Thomas is in splendid shape and
spent rather quiet day of it yester-
day. He was on the road, but did no
boxing. Thomas says that he is elated
to be given a chance against Papke
He says he will surprise every one.
