The angry CLEAN vanished from his eyes, and he

OVER 100000 IN PRIZES
FOR 1910 AVIATION MEETS

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-More than
$500, 900 in prize money will be Of
fered this year for aviation meets
held under the auspices of the In
formation Aeronautic Federation.
Fourteen meets are scheduled be-
tween April 10 and November 9, for
which the total sum OF $4,000 has
already been promised, This does
not include the meets at Berlin, st.
Petersburg, Milan, in England, and
in the United States.
According to the rules OF the In
ternational Aeronautical Federation
no city may be granted exclusive
dates for an aviation meet unless
al least $4,000 in prize money is
offered. No amount 80 far has
been guaranteed for the American
and two English meets. but 1t Is
certain that more than $4,000 will
be offered at each of these, as ex-
elusive dates have been granted the
clubs behind the meets. The Ber-
lin. st. Petersburg and Milan dates
are not exclusive. therefore it Is
probable that the amount OF money
that will be offered in these three
cities will not reach the limit.
The longest dates awarded are
those secured by the Aero club of
America. This meeting will close

week being devoted to competition

Third Round Enough.
The third was the last. Jeff
pushed Fitz into corners and
knocked him out of them, and never
for a second did the old champion
have a chance to use his shift or set
for his knockout punch. AS a fin
Usher, Jeff slipped in one terrific
pile driver of punch to the body,
and Fritz rocked back to his corner,
signaling that he had had enough.
Jeff never limited that he knew
of Fits plan to show up the cham

very humble fighter after that

This is the sort of training which
Jeff ought to have for this fight

ideal man for the work if he

more he would be the black cham
pion instead of Johnson).

eight more boxers are expected to

Superintendent w. M. Inglis Of
the Seattle Athletic club states
that his club has no 105-pound box
err to pit against Red Hughes, and
no 135-pound wrestler to go against
George Brechin. He asks that the
local club nominate men from
other weights, but Cisco Bulvant
states that Hughes and Brechin, the
first nominations of the S. A. A. c.,
will be sent against the Sound City
lads on February %. North, the

Mrs. FitZ smiled at her husband
and Bob grinned back. Jeff was set

Kennedy Tears In.
Kennedy tore in like a wild bull,
and Jeff walked into him with a
shower of those terrific left hooks
to the body. Kennedy lasted one
round and a portion of another, and
then backed away. He knew when
he had enough.
Jack Jeffries. being fairly clever
and knowing every move that he
big fellow made, put up better
showing. Jack had been raised
with the champion, and was not
overawed by respect for a mere
brother. The two Jeffries boys
slugged and ripped and tore and
hammered each other around the
gym. and at last punch on the
jaw sent Jack spinning against the
ropes, all the fight knocked out of
him. He lasted two rounds and a
