Just before beginning his afternoon work
Yesterday Jeffries measured himself about
the waist and found that he scaled the
tape at a fraction more than thirty-fve
inches.
There has been so much talk about my
stomach he explained that / wanted

test of his conditioning work and that he
will be in excellent shape to meet john

strained in bout with Joe Choynski
several days ago, continues sore and
bothers him. 1t is much improved today,
however and a sparrinS mill with Jim

hard sets. 64 81 and 60. The first
two sets were especially good. being very
stubbornly fought, every point bringing
out fast rallies of speedy tennis before
1t was won.

for any length of time. Fuller had a
chance to capture the set and match in

games and 1910 in points, but Dom
played a faultless game and the young
ster could not make It, the older player
finally taking that game and the next
two, making the score one all In sets.
In the third and last set Dom expert
enced let-down in play, and. try as he
might, he could not get back in form,
with the result that he was beaten rather
handily, e. Throughout the match both
players gave an excellent exhibition of
the game. covering lots of ground and
making many difficult returns of hard
shots. Fuller displayed lots of speed,
especially in his service, which had Dom
in trouble a great deal OF the time. Dom
weakened at critical points, and this was
largely responsible for his defeat
