Looking at him as he is today and
carrying my mind back to a little over
year ago, when he was doing his
vaudeville stunt with Sam Berger, I
can truthfully say that he has worked
wonders in his makeup. My belief is
that Jeffries has taken off fully forty
pounds in weight, and has accomplish ed
this by a systematic but cautious
silly stories being sent out about JEFF
fries overexerting himself and fool
ishly getting "fit" before the necessary
time. He is not taking chances of get
ting stale. and his every move is made
on carefully laid plans.
Since / came here several newspaper
men have told me that Jeffries has
never permitted them to see him
stripped, so that they could Judge OF
his condition by a critical inspection of
him In the altogether. This objection
has been quickly disposed OF, for at
ROWardenan Immediately after his
hours work at handball, boxing,
shadow boxing, wrestling, etc, the big
FELLOW went to his rubbing room, where
IN the full view of many visitors and
intimate friends his attendants fin
ished him up without the least secrecy.
That disposes Of that story.
Shot at Continually.
What must be very trying and really
annoying is the persistency with which
he is hara Ssed by the photographers,
who are after him at every opportunity.
Jeftries Is very courteous about il all,
however, and every person connected
with him lends assistance. This is evil
dence that the big store" and trust
business is a thing of the past
believe that Jeffries Is suffering
mostly from monOtony. His present
mode Of living must be very trying,
and he needs some form of amusement
or entertainment to divert his mind
from the affair he has on hand. Like
all big, rough men, or brutes of 8 nerv-
Gus temperament or high tension, what
Jeffries wants, and plenty Of IT, is
humOring. Anyhow, that is what my
wife says OF brutes, and 1 pride her
as an authority. Let me suggest
that lot of children or youthful per-
sons and a lot of dogs about the camp
will do much to relieve the monotony
of the big fellows.

make the assertion that most OF
the stories that have been sent out
about the killing and unnecessary sys-
TEN of training employed by Jeffries
are misleading and the veriest "gush."
JEFF must not be blamed for this highly
col0red stuff for no one of experience
or those having a knowledge of an
athleteS training, would or could be-
lleVe that he was resorting to such
suicidal process so far in advance of
the day Of battle.
The truth is that The big fellow is
observing a regular routine of living,
deVOtlng certain amount OF time each
day to physical exercise. All this is a
natural process, which is resOrted to
training the last few weeks preceding
a fight. To say that Jeffries in in con-
dition at this time and able to fight
Jack Johnson, the biggest and most
had, Is absurd. The big fellow has been
slowly but cautiously bringing himself
TO point where he has rid himself Of
all superfluOus flesh, and is today,
think, about the weight he will be the
day he fights Johnson.
Wind Is Good.
While the most sincere friends of the
big fellow are enthusiastic about his
general appearance and the excellence
of mis- outside physical construction,
what Will be most gratifying to them
will be to know that his bellows de-
partment is as near perfection as
possible. Then they would believe that
Mr. Jack Arthur Johnson would be re-
ieved Of the annoyance of his easily
won worlds championship, and
would take his place among the list
of defeated gladiators that the most
marvellous heavyweight pugilist the
world has ever boosted. He has plenty
Of time yet to reach the highest point
of perfection possible, for it is nearly
ten weeks off before the battle at
Emeryville is to be fought.
Within a week or so Jeff will settle
down to the severe and vigorous
method of training which will harden
him inside and out, and have him to
a proper edge by the Fourth OF July.

When Referee Dick Jones Of POca-
teuo raised both hands at the end OF
the twentieth round there came a storm
of applause from a crowd that tested
the capacity of the ogden opera house.
While with his larger local following
there came calls for decision for SIN
clair, the decision of draw was just
and there were no kicks.
Old ring followers pronounced the
contest one of the best they had seen.
From the first TO the last gong the boys
went at il hard. and showed a willing
ness to give and take punishment
never once letting up the pace.
Erlenborn showed 10 be the cleverer
boxer, while Sinclair was the cooler
of the two, and his blows carried more
steam. ErlenbOrn played for the face
continually, while Sinclair used an up
percut TO the body and Jaw to good
effect
After the eighth round the boys
warmed up and fought vtciously, al
though at no time did the referee have
10 caution them against unfair tactics,
and it was a clean mill. From the
twelfth to the eighteenth round SIN
clair took the lead. Several times he
forced ErlenbOrn TO clinch, and the salt
Lake boy was the aggressOr.
With the crowd cheering him on, it
looked that Sinclair must certainly get
the decision. and with a chance to end
the going at any time with his famous
right hook
ErIenbOrn Rallies.
Suddenly in the eighteenth round, how
ever, ErlenbOrn shot his right to the
Jaw. and Sinclair dropped for the count
of eight. The Denver boy again waded
in and repeated the blow, Sinclair again
taking the count. The salt Lake
champion was far from gone. however,
and he came up fighting strong, his
GOODNESS showing when he waited to
collect himself while taking the count.
In the nineteenth Sinclair brought re
newed hopes to his hackers by show
ing the more aggressive OF the two,
and getting home some telling blows.
Erlenborn might have had the shade
of the final round. although the gong
found both strong and fighting fiercely
until the end.
Early in the second round Erlenborn

Good Preliminaries.
The preliminaries TO the main event
were both features. In the opener Toni

Salt Lake, put up one of the cleverest
four-rOund draws seen this winter. The
honOrs were even.
In the semi windup Kid Farley, the

with the ogden fans as knockout

losOphy added to the aesthetic curric-
ulum recently proposed by Joe Choyn-
ski as a mentally stimulating adjunct
of Jeffries' training.
But Jeffries does not accept his skin
trouble with the calm resignation dis
played by his manager. He inclines to
the opinion that it's easy enough for
Berger TO philOsOphize over the matter,
for the obvious reason that Berger
doesn't own the boil. The big fighter
finds himself in a minority on the CUES
tiOn, however, as the other trainers
agree with Berger that the boil will
compel Jeffries TO ease up on his work,
and thus prevent any possibility just
now of entertaining.
Jeffries is anxious TO begin boxing
with Choynsld. who SPARED for several
