OF wrongs o'erthrown and of great deeds
done.
or the valor that he shall prove some day
over the hills and far away

OVER the hills and far away

But II mattered not to the soul aflame
With a love for riches and power and

Yonder whore blazcth the noon OF day.

OVER the hills and far away

The truthfulness and the friends of youth.

outdoor work, consisting of shadow

.ernoon by boxing two rounds with
Choynski, Brother Jack and Manager
Sam Berger.
= Choynski was too light to let out any

bout, which looks like the biggest joke

of Rickard as. refree of such an impor-
tant contest owing TO. lack of expert
ence IF honesty and nerve were the
requirements of a refree, Tex would be
a. champion, but it: takes. experience

his sparring partners-Joe .Choynski
Brother. Jack and Sam Berger-gave the
fans more pleasure than his other
work. 1t was the same old story. JEFF
had. to be careful with: his sparring
partners. for fear.of hurting them. He
held many back which he could have
put over, but he was too nerciful.
Joe Choynsk came on first. Joe
was: forced to step around in a lively
manner, but there. is one thing about
the veteran. he is willing to. take a
chance and receive many hard punch
as long as he puts one over himself.
Choynski sized up against the big fell
low like a high school boy against a
longshoreman.: Their bout lasted two
rounds, which were fairly interesting
Jack Jefries. came on. next. Jack swung
many. a blow at his brother but he was
unable to land effectively. He.w all
in from his own eXertions by the time
the two rounds were up: Jeff had dis
carded his gloves when Berger shouted
from a corner that he was ready to go
on. jeff did NOT intend to do any more
boxing. but he accommodated. Sam. =
SAM TAKES A CHANCE
Il am going in and mix with him, .
I said Berger quietly. This is my last
day and I am going in and take a
chance" Sam started off like a buzz
saw and went right in to show the big
fellow up. For a round he made an ex-
ceIlent showing and it was real excit-
ing. Berger can go some If he will
open up. and he carried Jeff along at 9
good pace
The second round saw Sam slowing
up and JEFF forcing him around the
ring, shooting an occasional left into
Berger.s stomach, which caused him to
grunt. There. We're a few times that
Berger grasped jeff around the neck
in an effort to get wind and gain a
little strength.
While Jeffs work is not so spectaeu-
lar as that of Johnson, it is of the con-
vincing kind. and everybody knows
that the big fellow Is always under
wraps. jeff is not CRUEL. He is. always
holding back the force. of his blows
and is mercifuT to his boxing mates
DRYING OUT BEGINS
The drying out process will begin
tomorrow. It is hard to figure just
what training he Will do for the next
couple of days, as his trainers will tel
you that Jeff does not know himself.
He put in good days work on the
road in the morning and busy after
noon. so he does not figure to: do much
tomorrow. He was measured today fol-
the last time. He refused to weigh in
He did not give any reasons: 1t is the
opinion that he weighed in private and
that he is little heavier than he was
I'm his last fight. So he does not want
to leave himself open to criticism. The
estimated weight of the big fellow was
given as. 2lS pounds: The general opin.
ion is that he weighs about 225..
The measurements follow: Height,
feet / = inches; estimated weight, 21s
pounds; neck. 1S1s inches; chest. A.

waist, 35A inches; thigh, 25 inches

ways. Monahan has a particular type
of boxing that Johnson makes a care
full study Of. He has Monahan in the
ring nearly every afternoon. 1t is
obvious that such can, be taken for
pure amusement or for the edifcation
of the onlookers. There is something
that Monahan has that the black is
practicing against.
Mills is another example of an eX-
tremely fast and good mixer. Johnson
is picking him out every afternoon for
strength test.
In the case of Kid Cotton it is an
experiment with extreme gameness. If
the big smoke hasn't his strength al
ready tested to his satisfaction, then
his months of training have gone for
nothing. Judging from his actions
neither strength nor wind is in ques-
tfon. He is steadily and carefully put
ting on the finishing touches, perfecting
this and that blow and developing to
the finest point his famous guard and
blocking tactics. A careful watch of
his. training from day to day could not
help, but bring these conclusions. When
considered abruptly, what would con-
tinual and strenuous action or the ex-
hibition of strength bring at this pc
riod9
doesn't come there is disappointment
and considerable talk as to- the. slug
gishness of the smoke
JOHNSON UNCONCERNED
Another significant thing that prob
ably will have deal to do with the
outcome of the great struggle on the
fourth is the much spoken of gayety of
the Johnson camp. Never at any stage
of the long siege of work has the
smoke exhibited anything but the best
of spirits. his humor at all times In
spring the entire camp. What the
champ thinks concerning the great &c
is told to no one. If he has any mis-
givings they are kept TO himself. The
champ goes through his work as pro-
grammed, and SO far since he has been
in Nevada no one has been disap-
pointed by. the changing of the sched-
uie.. AS many of the trainers and those
most interested with the champion are
wont to remark concerning the fight
when the champ is not around 1t might
Just as we'll be somebody in Timbuctoo
that is training to- meet Jeff, for Jack
Johnson is the least Concerned of any
one.

Stoutenberg, the roller skating cham

interesting. as Martin last Saturday set
a record for the Palo Alto track when
he defeated George Richardson. the

ever made on a 20 lap track. A silver
trophy is up on the event.
