at Kaufman's four round workout with
johnson yesterday afternoon were his
father and mother Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Kaufman. Both of them opposed AIS
entering the ring, but, now that their
SON has started. they are just as much
interested in all of his fights as he is
himself, and they look upon him as
sure winner this time.
Promoter Louis Blot escorted large
party to see Kaufman, and everybody
was agreeably surprised at the way the
blacksmith worked. out. Before he
started boxing he did his usual gym
nasium stunts and he even broke the
punching bag, a la Johnson, just to
show them all that he has improved in
every little knack of the game.
AL is by no means a Jim Jeffries on
his feet or Jack Johnson with his
hands. but he is big and strong and
tough and he is at his man all the time
The way he hustled and hustled John
son around yesterday afternoon is
good example of how he feels. He
looks to be far more aggressive than he
was when he last showed here against
Johnson nearly year ago.
1t is very evident from his mode of
training that Kaufman intends to wade
right in and make a quick job of it one
way or the other. He has learned by
experience. that it never gets him any
thing to stand away and attempt to
work his left hand. al will have about
40 pounds on Langford in the weight,

be. I will make the pace just as fast
as he wants it. 1 am not afraid of
him and think that I can stand just
as many wallops as he can. This is
why 1 believe that I have such a good
chance of bringing it home"
Langford was more talkative yester-
day afternoon than he has been in
months. But at that he did not talk
about Kaufman. He was willing to
discuss most every subject save his
next battle. He was fairly brimful of
good nature, and he worked just like
man whose whole heart and soul are
in everything he undertakes. It's a
pleasure to watch Sam perform.
Langford went two rounds with each
of his sparring mates, George Byers,
the old time middle weight; Charles
Collins and Vic Hanson. He handled
them all about as he pleased, showing
his usual cleverness in blocking, duck
ing and side stepping. He also showed
the boys a few fancy right and left
shifts which few of them believed the
black boy to be the master of. Lang
ford weighs 165 pounds. which he says
is his best fighting weight.

speed or boxing class in a gymnasium
than he is showing at the present time.
If Sam Langford beats Kaufman, then
he will be beating Kaufman at his
best and there should be no complaint
coming from the giant if he is not re-
turned the winner.
So far as Langford goes, he's fit and
ready. In fact, nobody here ever heard
of him being otherwise. His one stand
in this city against Jim Flynn a year
and a half ago convinced every fan who
saw the fight that the Boston tar baby
is one of the most dangerous fighters
who ever stepped into a ring around
these parts He has the skill and
the science, the strength and the hit
ting power He has fought the biggest
of them and gotten away with them
with apparent ease. He's a man of
mystery in many respects.
Langford is 10 to shot over Kauf-
man right now, and even at these juicy
odds there is not a whole lot of Kauf
man money in sight. Although big Al
is a native son and he has done most
of his fighting right here in the city
where he was born and raised, still the
fans can not overlook that wonderful
Langford record. Langford really fig
ures a 10 to chance over Kaufman.
In fact, he seems to have 1t on big
Al in practically everything save
height and reach, and these handicaps
are not worrying him.

KANSAS CITY, June IA. Billy
Papke defeated Al. Goodale in the Sec
ond round of their fight here tonight,
but whether he knocked him out will
probably never be known. Goodale
says he was out. Referee Leo Shay
was not satisfied with Goodale's show
ing and disqualified him.
The end of the fight came L minute
and % seconds after the beginning OF
the second round. At the tap of the
gong Papke rushed from his cor
ner and sent his opponent down for
the count OF nine with a right swing
TO the jaw. Goodale arose with great
dificulty and hung on to Papke. They
wrestledr about the ring, Papke landing
two lightAtaps to Goodale's jaw.
Suddenly Goodale sank to his knees
and clutched the ropes. Papke grasped
him by the right arm and appeared to
be trying to lift him to his feet Being
unsuccessful, Papke motioned the time
keeper to ring the bell.
A general mixup between fighters,
referees and seconds followed, and
after about Is seconds one of Goodale's
handlers threw a sponge into the ring.

"RETIRED LAWYER"
FAT HAS VANISHED
Wonderful Change in Jeff's Condition
Is Almost Beyond Belief
By R. L. GOLDBERG
Especial Dispatch to The Gail

JEFFRIES' TRAINING COMP, ROW
ARDENNAN, June 4.-If you saw
James j. Jeffries-the same who looked
like retired corporation lawyer not
many months ago in New York-go
through two solid hours Of the most
strenuous kind of work and finish UP
singing "Bedelia" without the slight
est catch in his voice, what would you
sayf If you looked at the muscles of
this man. who was judged hopelessly
beyond the pale of f1stic usefulness by
thousands of sensible sports, and saw
them entirely devoid of any super
fiuous coating of fat, what would you
think?
There are no two ways about 1t.
JEFF is in fine physical shape. No man
with the slightest defect. in his physi-
cal makeup could go through the work
that Jeff is doing without showing any
Ill effects. He is as perfect and strong
a physical type of man as walks on
two feet
Nobody is rushing into any rash pre-
dfctions. No one can say that jeff can
centralize all his tremendous energy
on Johnson when he stacks up against
the black man. While he may be the
wonder of the age for brute force he
may be lacking in Judgment OF dis
lance or some other ring requirement.
when he enters the ring, that might
only be told by the fight itself.
If sane people believe that Jen's
championship proclivities are still in.
tact they are perfectly right in bet
ting on him. If the rest is taken for
granted then Jeff 81 condition is good
thermometer by which to register your
bets. The much abused word mar
velous" is the only one you can use
after watching him work. Those who
back him in the big fight should have
no regrets If he loses. The matter
now lies entirely in natures hands.
Jeff is certainly fulfilling his part Of
the contract. Johnson and nature are
the conspirators.
CROWDS HIS WORK
The white champion has everybody
else around the camp looking like
piece of the rural scenery. When he
gets around he can not stop. Take to-
day for instance. He crowded more
work between 10 o'clock this morning
and s in the evening than any 10 coal
beavers on hurry job With Farmer
Burns, brother Jack and Bob Arm

to keep up with the party and was

new FIGHT CLUB
COMES TO Light
"Panama-Pacifc" Looks Like a
Feint to Give COffrOfh
July Permit

A new fight club was born yesterday
afternoon in the meeting room of the
supervisors police committee. The
Panama Pacific" they call 1t, for the
sake of appearance and sound, but 1t is
generally believed that the organiza-
ton is none other than the Jim Cof-
froth, created for the purpose of pull
ing the Ketchel-Langford fight off here
on July 2.
At all events, the Panama-Pacific
club gained favor with the police COM
mittee, Herget, Deasy and Knowles. 1t
received the official sanction of that
body and at the next meeting of the
entire board it's permit will be voted
upon as a whole. Whether 1t is as sue
cessful there remains to be seen. At
all events the club is away to good
start.
The Panama Pacific club was rep
sented yesterday by one H. Simmons,
210 Ellis street, whose name does not
figure in the annals of pugilistic fame.
Simmons Is looked upon as the send
in" boy for Coffroth. Nobody asked him
any questions. In fact, nobody seemed
to be at all interested in him. 1t was
the Panama-Pacific club which counted.
They say that if the Panama-Pac
club gets its permit Coffroth will land
the Ketchel-Langford battle and stage
1t in Louis Blot's new arena on the
afternoon of July 2. Apparently he has
already made his arrangements with
Blot He probably will be compelled
TO use Blot's arena, for he will not
have the time in which to erect one
of his own.
Blot's club, the Metropolitan, was
represented by its president, Milton T.
Clarke. The latter applied for per-
NIT, but when the opposition organiza-
ton reaped the harvest, Clarke did not
shed any tears over it. Therefore it
looks as though Clarke and Blot are
very well satisfied to have the match
go to Coffroth, who may use their
arena
Ketchel will arrive this evening, un-
less he and his manager, Wilson Miz-
ner, made a stopoff between this, city
and Chicago. When the Michigan lion
puts in an appearance, the chances are
that both Coffroth and Hester will try
their hands at offering bids which will
tempt him. In the meantime, the Lang
ford end is holding off awaiting devel-
opments.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-15

a good lunch. Then. without mo-
ment's rest, he went out and started to
paint the canvas on the floor Of the
open air ring. He was on his feet con-
stantly. bending over in the shape of a
magnet rather than getting down on
his knees. Those who have tried work
or this kind know that it is no child s
play.
After spending two hours at this
task he stripped and played three
games of handball with Jim Corbett
which lasted one hour. He then
punched the bag for Is minutes, went
through all sorts of exercises in the
gymnasium and came out at o'clock
looking as fresh as If he had been ly-
ing in hammock all day.
ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE
These monotonous and commonplace
details are only cited to give line on
Jeffs capacity for work. 1t Is almost
unbelievable. Those who are watching
the preliminary work for the fight
from great distance need have no
fear concerning the sincerity of both
men to do their best in the coming
battle. The men will both be in great
shape the day OF the fight They can
not slip anything over on the public
on that score. Nothing is being hidden
from those interested in the fight. and
there are millions anxiously looking
for any sign of "roughness'' in either
camp.
After seeing jeff work one can Snot
help but dwell upon the possibility of
the fight going the limit The Cans
Nelson fight at Goldfield went AZ
rounds and every one predicted that
Cans must win early If at all. Whether
or not JEFF is as good as of old, he
looks prepared to go over distance.
