WILLIE LEWIS
 THOUGHT HALLEY'S
 COMET HIT EARTH
kelchePs Right Co|Iided With Lewis Jaw
 and it Was All Over

New York, May 2S.-welterweight Willie Lewis is thoroughly convinced today of a fact that New York fight fans think he should have known be- fore entering the National Sporting Club ring last night with Stanley Ketchel: to wit, that he hadn't dead mans chance against the middle weight champion.
 Ketchel put over a right clip on Will lies jaw in the second round and lat CT in the night Lewis feebly remark ed to one of his attendants, 'I thought they said it would not hurt when Halley's comet struck the earth
 Lewis appeared almost as heavy as Ketchel and was in fine trim, but he did not reckon sufficiently on the ter rible kick that Ketchel carries around in every glove. The first round served only to awaken Ketchel and he lost no. time in dealing out a sleep powder in his over ambitious antago- mist in the second. The people who paid as high as s15 to witness the bout felt that Stanley Ketchel should have given them more of a run for their money.
 Soon after the second round started Ketchel forced Lewis into a neutral corner and landed right and left to the face. The second blow, clean half swing, landed on the jaw, and it seemingly dazed Lewis, for the latter started to mix 1t up with his heavier opponent. Ketchel. carefully measur- ing the distance, then shot a terrific

Yellow Fever.

Every one knows that when a man has once had yellow fever and recov- CTS he never contracts the disease again, no matter how much he exposes himself to infection" said pr. Fred s. Williams of Havana This ability to resist the minute organisms which cause the malady is called immunity. and in tropical countries where yellow jack is always present it is turned to profit in various ways.
 'Thus during the Spanish-American war regiments of immunes were en- listed in the south for service in the fever ridden country about Santiago. Again, during an epidemic in New Or leans many persons purposely exposed themselves to infection because the disease prevailed in very mild form. and they concluded that if they were infected they would quickly recover and would be immune during severe epidemics in the future.

 San Francisco. May 2s-Jeffries' friends are angry over the criticism of the eastern skeptics who declare he IS employing silly methods in his train ing.
 Jim Jeffries has been through the most systematic. scientific course of training ever undertaken by any man in or out of the ring. in order to re- store himself to full physical strength and former speed said one Of ms handlers here today.
 The eastern fight SharpS who nave been banning Jeff so severely evident ly base their conclusion on the fact that his sparring partners are old men and the further fact that Jeff takes a couple of days off each week to go fishing They lose sight of the fact that Jeff has been Gin training since March of last year and for the past two months has been training as rig idly as a man ever did. There IS no half-heartedness in it. He has thrown every ounce of his energy into his work and the result has startled his admirers on the coast if not in the States There is scarcely an ounce Of superfluous flesh on him.
 The moment Jeffries decided to re- enter the ring he cut out wine and cigarettes. He began light exercises daily after a thorough examination by skilled physicians. With their advice and with his own knowledge of train ing, he laid out a perfect system Of work while tourning the country in the vaudeville act But the mere act of exercising was not Jeffries' sole eff fort to get back to shape. His sys- tenn needed renovating. Following the advice of his physicians he went TO Carlsbad and took the waters with as much system as the goutiest patient who ever hobbled along the promenade of the famous resort.
 As a result of all this. the surplus flesh had already disappeared when he returned to New York. and even then the eastern critics were unani-

Wonder of Blood Transmission.

There is nothing more dramatic In surgery than q transmission of blood to see the patient take on the rosy hue of health, waken out of his lethargy show an immediate live interest in his surroundings and actually recover un- der the eye of the operator. In adults we must not permit the amount trans fused to equal the normal for fear of suddenly overtaxing the heart. but in the case of young children who have had severe hemorrhages there may be complete recovery without a period of convalescence, so that at the termina- ton of the operation the patient is welL-Century.

JEFFRIES ANGRY
 OVER ROASTS OF
 EASTERN CRITICS
As Matter of Fact Big Fellow is Daily I'm. proving His Condtion- What He Has
 Done and How He Has Done it

nous in their declaration that he had ''come back.'-
 The theatrical tour that followed did not stop his training. When he reach ed San Francisco he was in shape to plunge into the hardest kind of phy- sical work On April 2 he hit his training camp at Rowardennan. What he has accomplished since then has been marvellous. His punch is gen. uine, his wind is. as good as ever. his muscles stand out and work with a freedom that dispels the fear that muscular degeneration has set in. His stamina is the marvel of those experts who have visited him.
 As an instance that he has not meg lected his training it is recalled that he rowed for one hour against a swift mountain stream after having donned the mitts for % minutes. rope skipping, weight machine. shadow boxing and a variety of other stunts. He knows better than anyone else what he needs and he is sensible enough not to heed the criticism that is being levelled at him. The little vacations keep him from going stale and Jeff intends to continue them.
 Jeff will not neglect his work: neith- CT will he work himself to death. Be- cause a man 5000 miles from the train- irg camp roasts him will not make Jeff work so hard that he vii go stale Criticism about the "old mems home" at Rowardennan is probably good, but Jeff is looking day and night for some young man heavyweight who can be added to his training staff It is hard to find a good man who can take the jabs. A months work in boxing will fix Jeffries' eye and that is about all he needs.
 Johnson. too. is getting into good shape. The big negro has worked daily on the road since he went into training. and he declares he has taken off 10 pounds. After an hours hard work in the gym and nine rounds of hard boxing Johnson was examined by physicians who declared that his heart is in fine shape and that he could step into the ring at any time

AMERICAN HORSE MAY WIN DERBY
Harry Whitney's Colt WitchwOrk Has Good Chance, 'Tis Said in England's Premier Turf

 Epson, England, May 2S-An Ameri- factor in this years Derby, the blue ribbon event of the turf world which will be contested over the historic Derby course next Wednesday. The colt is Witchwork. by Hamburg. who will carry the Eton blue and brown sash and cap of Harry P. Whitney.
 This one has been kept under cover up to the present but his work recent ly has convinced Jack Joyner. trainer of the young American. that he has a Hook in'' for the big stakes. Joyner has line" on the favorite and the berry's Neil Cow and A. Fairies Lem berg, through their race in two thou sand guinas when Whiskbroom from the Whitney stable followed them home.
 His opinion that he has chance is meaning that he expects to be inside the money in the big race; if he doesn't actually win. According to "Skeets" Martin, who has ridden Wdtchwork in his trials and Whisk- broom in his races. the Hamburg colt could give Whiskbroom ten pounds and a beating over any distance. and Martin believes he will defeat the two short priced favorites on Wednesday.
 The extent that the British turf has suffered by the death of King Edward will be shown next Wednesday. Of course there will be a crowd. Derby Day is holiday and to thousands of Londoners. the one real holiday of the year. But the sight will recall vivid of last year when the royal colors carried Finest past the post" This year the royal box will be empty and draped in mourning.
