JEFFRIES' NEED
is MORE BOXING
Sparring Is the Only Thing that
Will Bring Back His Hit
ting Eye.
BIG FELLOWS WIND GOOD
Breathing Apparatus in Splendid
Shape but There Are No Muscles
in Belt Region.
By TOMMY CLARK.

The next few weeks are going to be
tains anything like the pace he has
started of with. 1t marks the trial of
the beginning of his battle for condi-
tton-a steady grind that is to continue
until a week before the big mill. The
ex-boilermaker's real hard siege of
trainig is now on in earnest, and he
has banished all other thoughts from
his mind and is ready to go the full
route.
With all the work Jeffries has done
him before he can consider himself fit
His legs are heavy; much is to be done
to bring back the old armor that COW
cred his chest, stomach and back, and
that waist will have to be reduced. In
all his posed pictures JEFF carefully
draws in the stomach and gives an ap-
pearance of being quite Sveldt, but the
paunch has not gone entirely. and the
absence of the old washboard muscles
which formerly sheathed the cham
pion's solar pleXuS is obvious. In the
little boxing the champion has done he
has covered up the belt region very
carefully, but when once or twice Arm
strong has ripped stiff ones into his
short ribs JEFF has shown a decided
dislike to the going.
Another thing, Jeff's speed will have
to be built up, and, most important of
all, he must get his hitting eye. He is
particularly lacking in the true hitting
that made him champion of the world,
and the only manner in which he can
come back" in this regard is to do
more boxing.
Should Have Begun Earlier.
The fact that he is shy Of the hit
ting eye adds to the speculation aroused
by his failure to take up boxing earlier
in the game Jeff knows that his
hitting eve must be perfect or his
chance of victory will be reduced 30
per cent. 4 good line on his hitting
eye will be given when Sam Langford
and Jim Corbett join the camp. What
Jeff should really do is to look around
for several husky young heavyweights.
Farmer" Burns is not fast enough to
give Jeffries the proper tryouts with
the gloves, and Armstrong cannot be
expected TO stand up and take a
pounding every day, and Joe Choyn-
ski surely cannot be expected to rough
it with the big fellow.
Jeffries' warm friends are not over
joyed over the recent reports that the
big fellow is easily nettled and in ad-
dition perspires profusely when en-
gagged in trifling exercises. These con-

night than they can be made to run
in the daytime. Those who remember
the old cycling days will recall how
much fresher they seemed to feel at
night and how much more easily the
wheel used to run. The difference was
due entirely to the effects of the natu-
raj forces upon them and upon their
spirits-that is, the rays of the sun no
longer beat down upon them, and they
felt the invigorating and refreshing
breezes of the evening. Their stock
Of patience was renewed, and the in
MIGRATING effect of the night air gave
them a more optimistic view of the
world in general. Thus it is with
motorists.
good system of lodging the rings
into the cylinder barrels is to place
the cranks up and down so that one
piston is at its highest point while the
other is at its lowest. BY this means
the pair of cylinders can be dropped
straight over the pistons, the rings of
the upper piston being guided into the
cylinder before those of the lower pis-
ton have to be thought about.

DIAMOND CHIRPS.

Bobby Byrne. the Pittsburg's third
sacker, is hitting 'em where they

deer and playing great all around
game.
President Tom Lynch would make
no mistake to put several so called
wits who are seen on the National
league coaching lines in the same class
as the photographers.
Manager George Stallings of the New
York Americans has picked up jewel
in Harry Wolter. the Boston Red Sox
discard. Wolter surely looks like an
altogether different player than when
he wore one of John l. Taylor's uni
forms.
Baseball teens with inconsistencies.
The managers seek pitchers who can't
be hit and barters who can hit any
pitcher. They also hunt catchers who
can. throw to bases with such speed
and accuracy that base runners can't
steal and speed boys who can steal on
any catcher.
1t looks more and more as II the spit
ball has been the undoing Of Ed Walsh.

Until last season he was the terror OF
the American league. He rounded to

When the average novice first sits
trembling behind the steering gear
wheel Of an automobile he regards
the clutch pedal as his sheet anchor.
When the bus swerves outward,
when the child darts out after the
ball, when the threatening hedge re-
veals that the treacherous road has
twisted right or left, when the cour-
teous gradient dips and presents a
wide vista of landscape, down stamps
his trusty foot on the clutch pedal!
At the outset his right foot probably
follows suit with the break pedal as
well, but tales of tire bills probably
stamped upon his mind the dictum
that the brake pedal must be used
gingerly; consequently be soon learns
not to mark time with his right foot
too frequently. But the excessive use
of the clutch pedal never deserts some
drivers. 1t is a bad habit that fingers
on into the con of his third or fourth
car
Both in theory and in practice the
clutch pedal exists only for the stop
ping, starting and changing gear. To
use it for temporary slows Is to abuse
It. There is only one possible excep-
tion-namely, for temporary slows
around exceedingly acute corners
and even this applies only when the
car is on a high gear, too high to al
low Of the engine picking up upon it
from what is almost standstiIl. The
majority Of cars today are designed
and built to be driven almost excIu-
sively on the throttle, apart from the
above trio of exceptions-viz, stop

that their engine run much better at

PLAYERS BATS DIFFER.
Some Big Men Wieid Small Sticks,
and Mideets Use Bio Ones.

Some Big Men Wieid Small Sticks,
and Mideets Use Big Ones.
Baseball players bats differ in size
and shape as much as the players do
in physique. And the strange part of
1t is that many of the big fellows use
small, well shaped warclub. and a
couple of the rabbits WELD some
thing resembling wagon tongue.
An instance of this is the woodpile
that Rebel" Cakes. former Cincin-
natl star. but now with the St Louis
Cardinals, uses. A man can scarcely
imagine such a little fellow swinging
so large and heavy a bat as Cakes
does. The opposite side of the case is
represented by Bresnahan. who. while
large in stature. hits with a reasona-
bly, small club.
After a glance at the Hans Wagner
bat one would think that the Flying
Dutchman" might just as well go and
pull up young but promising tree
and use that to destroy the hopes of
young and old pitchers alike. No bal
ance to it, large and heavy all over.
the average man could hardly swing II.
1t takes person of immense strength
to use It properly. and Hans Is that.
Being so heavy. the great batsman can
meet the ball either on the handle or
the very end and make n hit where
another player would put up n pop fiy
or weak grourder.

Jim Jeffries is Three Men, Says
Mccoy.


Mccoy.
"Jeffries is three men in one"
is the comment of Kid Mccoy.
HE has the strength and vital
ity to fit out half dozen fight
ers like myself. What the man
who knows nothing about fight
ers fails to realize is that JEFF
fries is wholly unlike any fight
er within the recollection OF any
living man. He is so tough and
hard that blows that would end
another heavyweight's career
have no effect upon him, while
with his enormous strength and
vitality he can slam home
punch that viii win him his
fight after he has been fighting
for hours and when another man
would be so exhausted that he
couldn't hit hard enough to dent
a chocolate eclair.
THAT retirement for five years
hasn't done any harm, either.
He has been doing some drink
ing in all likelihood, but not
enough to affect that wonderful
vitality of his, and, unlike other
fighters, he hasn't been knock
ing around indulging in all sorts
of dissipation. He is married
and domestic in his tastes, and
the quiet sort of life he has been
leading has kept him just as fit
for a fight as he was when he
retired"

Tom Sharkey's determination

ed a good deal of interest.
Tom is cold gray serious. He
has erected a gymnasium in his
home. and, as a matter of fact,
he is in remarkably good condi-
ton despite he has been out of
the ring for many years, and,
judging by his present condi-
ton, he does not need much
work to be in good trim for an
other battle. In talking Of the
