work it has not been until the last

right within his own camp Corbett,
taking to heart the many criticisms
of Jeffries' failure to use the gloves
more, has become quite free in his
talk of Jeffries' Indifference. He de-
olares that he has repeatedly plead
with the fighter to put on the gloves
more, and that while Jeffries will
promise, when! the time comes he
fails to show up.
Mrs. Jeffries, who is here with a
party, will not witness the fight, but
will get the returns over a special
