full of life and even when he is

Los ANGELES, Cal, Aug. l.
Il am positively through with the
fight game. l will never step into
the ring again. This is final"
So spoke James ]. Jeffries the
day following his return from a
fishing trip to Catalina island,
where he went Immediately after
the big fight. Stretched out on a
big couch in his den at his Los
Angeles home, the big fellow thus
dropped the everlasting crusher
on the hopes of those of his
friends who thought that some
time he would seek a return

my wife and myself in comfort
for the rest of our lives and I
don't want cent more. / know
that Tex Richard imagines he can
sign me again, and while I would
do most anything to favor Tex I'll
have to dlsappoint him in this in
stance.
II am out of the fight game
forever" At this point Mrs. JEFF
fries, sitting nearby, smiled a sat
dsfied smile. for it was the first
time her husband had spoken of
the future concerning the fight
game. She above all others pro-
tested against his last signing of
articles, and for her sake this re-
tirement means last farewell to
the sport of the padded mitt.
Jeffries arose to light a cigar
ette-he is smoking again-made
himself comfortable, and after
musing for a spell went back to
the subject of the fight. Jeffries
had not uttered a single word
about his defeat or the causes
that led to it. This particular af-
ternoon he threw off the bonds of
restraint and opened up. Here is
6is story:

Texas league has been one of the
real sensations of the league. and
in batting and fielding he is said
by critics to be far superior to Pat
Newman, purchased from Houston
this summer by the st. Louis

Dallas team this year he offered
to forfeit 500 of his salary II ne
didn't stick over 500 for the sea-
son. and present Indications are
that he won't be compelled to take
up the forfeit.

early part of the series those In
dams came strong at the finish
and took both Saturdays and
Sundays games. Saturday Taco
ma was not in it at all. Annis
has his oft-repeated bad first in
ming and that lost the game. If
Annis gets over the first inning
safe it is generally pretty hard
for the enemy to do anything but
they started with three runs Sat-
urday and it was all off for Taco
ma after that.
Sunday Jess Baker was put in
against Charley Schmutz. Jess
had nothing on the Seattle High

that but an error by Coleman en-
|abled the visitors to grab the
needed run to break the tie in
the score.
Jess got in trouble in the

choked the home team off.
