jeff Strips to Waist
BEN LOMOND. April 1S.-Visitors to
James J. Jeffries training camp today
witnessed the rather unusual sight of
the former champion stripped to the
waist while going through his stunts.
After laboring vigorously with the
chest weights for half an hour with the
perspiration rolling off him, JEFF sud
denly concluded it was too warm to
work that way and removed his heavy
undershirt in which he has heretofore
exercised. Jeffries then went at the
punching bag with a vim that threat
ened to wreck that apparatus.
In the bright sunlight he loomed up
big and looked almost as muscular as
in his former days. 1t showed that his
two weeks of training has already
served to remove considerable super
iuous fat from the upper part of his
body. while lower down there is still a
trace of fast fading paunch. His
huge arms and hairy chest looked as
formidable as in the days of his pugi-
listic career.
Virtually the entire afternoon was
nut in by Jeffries with exercising with
chest weights and punching the bag
