WONDERFUL IMPROVEMENT
 IS NOTED IN JEFFRIES
Has Same Old Spring and is Really Develop ing His Former Speed Weakness Of
 Right Arm.
(By Our Special Correspondent Training Camp)

Ry Our Special Correspondent at
 Training Campo
 Jeffries Training Camp, Rowarden- nan, Cal. May 10-To the representa- tive of the United Press. Jeffries look ed to be in splendid condition a month ago. But to the man who knows prize fighters, the big white was in miser- able condition, and apparently making little effort to round into form.
 Today all that has changed. The improvement in his condition in the past two weeks is almost unbelievable. I watched the former champion work out yesterday and I could hardly be- lieve it was the same Jeffries who had lOafed through his training when he first came here.
 Jeffries' grouch which was so mani fest when it became apparent the big champion feared he could not get into of today is confident he can and has judging from a distance. his speed is as great-or greater-than ever before. and barring accidents his endurance will be just as good as in the old days when no human being could withstand his rushes and his punches.
 JeffrieS, month ago. Seemed to have fairly good wind, but it was nothing compared with that he has acquired. After his gruelling training yesterday he was hardly breathing and did not seem the least bit tired His arms worked with the free motion that be- tokened suppleness and plenty of 'un-

l<inked'' muscles. That ''front porch' which worried us all so much has gone. and when the fighter strips there is not the suspicion of soft, sur plus flesh on his body. His arms, back and chest are now entirely de void of fat. and those powerful mus cles along his back from his shoulders to his waist, work beautifully beneath his clear skin.
 Jeffries' right arm, bent and never strengthened, has not "come back with the rest of his body and it is clear the former champion will have to depend on his wicked left to carry him through his fight with Johnson. This does not mean the right is useless. 1t is not, by any manner of means. It can still deal a powerful blow and aid wonderfully in defense- But it's bent condition makes it impossible for Jeff ries accurately to judge a blow with his right as was evidenced yesterday in his bag punching, his blows from the left going stronger all the way through, while those from his. right were a, little out of alignment. The best signs I have noticed about the Big Fellow is the disappearance of his logginess. He was heavy. sluggish, slow, apparently lazy. That has gone. Now he seems to crave work. He cannot get enough
 He has "come back" Put a wig on Jim Jeffries today and he will be a replica of the Jim Jeffries who slaugh- tered Jack Muhroe. The strength is there. If Jack Johnson can whip this JeffrieS he could have whipped the JeffrieS who won from F'itzsimmons Corbett and Sharkey.

CANAvAN TO BUILD BIG CASINO IN
 NEW HAVEN
Closes Deal For 1O-Year Lease, Building to be Used For Polo, Boxing and Social
 Events.

One of the most important matters from a sporting standpoint that has been closed in New Haven for many moons was that announced last night by James E. Canavan, former owner of the New Haven baseball club and roller polo magnate. MT. Canavan yesterday closed deal for ten-year lease on the property in Portsea street just above Meadow and where he in tends to erect magnificent casino to be used for polo, boxing and social events and which when completed will be one of the finest places of its kind in Connecticut A mammoth brick building will be erected on the plot formerly occupied by the Russell Lumber company and which makes an ideal site for such a building. The entrance to the building will be from Portsea street through wide arched corridor and the building itself will be complete in every detail for almost any branch of sport or any sort of a social function.
 Mr. Canavan has taken as a part ner in his new undertaking Martin Gamble of Fall River, the we'll known boxer MT. Gamble will also locate in New Haven in the fall. MT. Can avan said last night that the finest floor in New England would be laid in the new building. and it will be equally we'll adapted to roller skat- ing. dancing or polo. In the polo league which will be formed will be New Haven. Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury. Springfield, and two or three other clubs and genuine re- vival of the sport will be the result
 Canavan is at present scout for the champion Detroit Tigers, residing in New Bedford, but he will take up his uermanent residence in New Haven in the fall. The new building will be completed by October.

TOMMY DOWNEY'SBATTING
 AVERAGE IS NOW .34l

With an average of .439 Napoleon Lajoie is leading the American League players in batting. The Cleveland slugger appears to be hitting in the same form that in former years made him a star in the major leagues and a terror to the pitchers. Without the managerial cares on his shoulders it is probable that he will strike his old gate. Sherwood Magee of the Phillies is the real leader in the older league with an average of .435. Hans Wag- ner is far down the list with a figure of .254 Tommy Downey of this city is hitting we'll being up with the top notchers. Danny Murphy is also in the 300 class. The averages:

 FIT TO FIGHT NOW
Especial from United Press,

San Francisco. May 1o.-Jack John- sons training for the next couple af weeks will consist of, road work with a view 10 improving wind and talk ing off weight. The big negro today reeled off 12 miles at a good clip and will add another five this afternoon. This. he says, will be the extent of his training for a time.
 'T am already in good shape" he declared today, "and I never did re- quire much training at best. If I were to get down to hard work now I'd be muscle bound and stale by July f. am more interested in winning this fight than anyone else in the world and you can bet I will fight when I enter the ring. I am not stalling, I am simply taking things as they are best for me. l am not going to overtrain nor am I on the other hand, going to undertrain.''
 Johnson weighed 225 pounds to- day, and says he will take off 12 or 15 pounds before July 4.
