this afternoon is problematical. al
though he has promised to do some
boxing.
Jeffries' exhibition at Santa Cruz
yesterday afternoon was an unsat-

in bad frame of mind as the result
of the talk of a damage suit. He
boxed two easy rounds with Cor

other gymnasium stunts. Corbett
was given a great reception and
was forced to make speech.
The working packing up contin-
ued today and by nightfall all will
be in readiness for the getaway.
Jeffries has not made up his mind
Tuesday night and take the train
for Nevada Wednesday morning,
or to start east Tuesday night.
