JEFFRIES' TRAINING CAMP, Row
ardennan, Cal, June 9.-Fooled again,
b'gosh,
Jim Jeffries just changed his mind.
that's all, and MI COTbett. who has

time Re is to have with the bo'lermaker.
is still alive and smiling.
JEFF said in the morning that he was
going 70 take the whole camp into The
ring with him in the afternoon, bur
during the lay-off, after lunch, decided
that climb up the mountain Ben La
mond and back would suffice.
Rob Armstrong, Roger Cornell, Jack
Jeffries, and Farmer Burns took tbs
hike with JEFF and returned just before
supper.
JEFF, Corbett, and Jack Jefries were
sitting out on the veranda of the hotel
in the afternoon discussing Johnson.
Jackson, and a few others. Jack jeff
ries can't see Johnson at all.
I weighed I72 pounds when he fought
me in Los Angeles" said Jack, and he
was about 1856 He is a lot taller than
me. too. but he's no shadow, believe me
l had his mouth and nose bleeding in
the third round. and pounded his body
about not being able TO hit him is he
bunk. Jim was in my corner and kept
talking 10 me ali the time. He wanted
me TO keep chasing him, see. and play
ed right into Johnson's hand. l listened
TO Jim, and kept looking 10 the corner
he was in. Some time during the NTH
round we were in a clinch, and 1 heard
Jim say something. I looked around

all 1 remember
Dislikes Training.
They tell that he put me away
with a right-hand uppercut. ! told
Jim last year just before I left Mexico
that L thought Johnson would be meat
for him. The only trouble with Jim
was that he hated that long siege Of
training. He knew il would be a year
at least before he could spar, and
didn't like the idea of one whole year
of the simple existence. He has come
through with IL, though. I have box
ed with him here, and you remember
how we used to go it at Hardin
Springs Well he's just as good as he
was then"
I've seen Johnson" piped Jim Cor
bett, land 1 figure him different than
call. or rather what he would call
himself, a safe investment. He goes
into a fight to get as little punish.
ment as possible, and fights according
to the punishment there is in it. They
say he's better than Peter Jackson.
Bosh, Why. Jackson was a slugger.
You can't say that Johnson is there
sticking even with a little fellow who
gives as much as he takes. Johnson,
when he is the dealer is a tough
fighter, but when the other fellow is
a good dealer, Johnson steps away,
stalls, clinches and dances. He won [
trade. Jackson would stand up 10
Jeffries and trade away for dear life
until some one or the other did a
'Brodie.' Jackson was clever and a
hitter, too.
Won't Take a Chance.
The difference, as say, is in the
length of time they both stick 1t out
Johnson. with his cleverness. could out
see and outlook the other fellows. John
son has won his fights by letting the
other fellow try to slug and catch him at
odd times. He won't take chance with
Jeffries. he can't. The first time he's
stung. you'll see him start a jig and he
won't be around until he's captured
