NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Jim Corbett,
the former heavyweight champion, who
has agreed to help Jeffries condition

regarding bets on the coming battle,
Jeffs chances of regaining his Old
form and how the big fe low can de-
feat the negro. Recently Corbett said
that Johnson was without doubt one
of the greatest pugilSts that ever pull

to regain the title for the white people
Jeffries must be in grand physical
