Jefrries' Training Camp. Moana Springs, Reno. Nav, July If there is- any question remaining as to Jim Jeffries' condition it has to do with his boxing. and while there has been an almost constant cry 6h the part of his admirers for glove work. it has rot been until within the past week or so that things have come to a crisis right within his own camp.
 Jim Corbett, the supposed Moses who was chosen to lead Big Jim out of the wilderness in upper cuts ana left jabs, has shown signs of repel- Hon. Gentleman Jim took to heart the many criticisms offered because of Jeffries' failure to do more boxing and felt that some odiurp attached to himself He became quite free Tn ms talk of Jeffries' evident indifference. Jeff, he insisted. needed more boxing. Within the past few days Corbett has predicted that in his opinion Jeffries is making a most serious mistake-1n neglecting to make his sparring part ners do more work.
 Corbett, ever since he announced himself ready to box with his two tune conQueror. has shown that he was displeased with the manner in which his gloves were sighted. It remain ed, however. for a friends to point out that since he Joined the big fellows camp, Corbett has had the gloves on with Jeffries just seven rounds.
 "I have done the best I can." said Corbett sI have pleaded with Jefr to do more boxing. He needs It. Morning after morning I have begged him to put on the gloves with me. He has invariably promised but when the time came he wasn't there. Of course there is so little time left now in which the big fellow can do glove work that 1t is hardly worth while to bother about it, but I am really sorry Jeff has not done more boxing. At that he is going to win. But the failure on his part to do more boxing will be evident before the battle is over"
 That there has been a differences of opinion on the boxing question in Jeff ries' camp. has just become known. Three weeks ago Jim was in shape and with a couple Of days for drying out" he could have gone into the ring in just as good form as he will snow when he enters the ring Monday aft ternoon. The camp was not exactly divided against itself as the preponder- ance of judgment was against any more hard work, boxing or otherwise.
 Brother Jack. who has been with Jim in all his big fights. insisted throughout that there was no neces- sity for boxing. and in this he has been borne out by Farmer Burns. Roger Cornell and Bob Armstrong. Joe Choynski was non-committal but was willing to admit that his old rival was ready" To Cornell the ex-champion gave his ear Roger maintained that all Jeff needed was little road work to keep his wind up, and rub downs to keep his muscles flexible. Jeff he's itated long while between the public clarnor and Corbett's insistence on one side. and Corneirs training wisdom and knowledge of condition on the other. In the end he needed Cornell s advice and the result was that Jim has almost ignored glove work. If mis- take has been made only the contest Monday can reveal
 Although the afternoon of July 4th is expected to be a scorcher there will be no umbrella erected to protect Jeff from the blistering days of the sun. Not because he and his trainers don't think it wise to shelter him from the sun, but because Mrs. Jeff objects to carrying umbrellas into the ring. It's bad luck. she says. and in deference to her wise superstition. special awning. instantly collapsible and ad- justed. has been added. At the close Of a round it can be instantly raised over Jeffries' chair and the same con- trivance closed the moment the gong calls him to the center again.
