LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28.-With the
intention of establishing a testing and
experimental station for aeroplanes in
Los Angeles, Glenn H. Curtiss. the

year. Should the proposition be ac-
cepted, Curtiss will make this city his

so 7 am looking forward with great
interest to the battle between Owen
Moran, the clever English boxer, ana
Matty Baldwin, of Boston, before the
Armory A. A, of Boston on the night
Of the 25th. Baldwin is one of the best
men ever turned out by the Hub, and
Johnny Mooney did well when he
hooked the lads up for twelve rounds.
The battle will be at catch weights,
which will give Baldwin the advantage
by six pounds. Baldwin is training
hard and will give the plucky Owen a
run for his money.

No Particular Feature

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 2S.-There was
no particular feature on the card at
Emeryville today but racing proved
very intereting. In the third race Ben
Stone beat Chantilly a neck but the
latter should have won as he was bad
ly interferred with by Gramercy while
making his race in the stretch. The
judges suspended A. Walsh, rider of
Cramercy, for a week. BuckthOrn got
up in time to win by a narrow mar
gin from Sink Spring.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-If we can be-
lieve a little of the advance rope that
is handed out by the pugilistic gentle
men who like to see their names in
the papers in large type, Jim Jeffries
will have all the Queensberry brains of
the last two decades gathered into his
training quarters during the last month
or so of his preparation for the John
son battle. Passing over the theory
that too many cooks are likely to
scorch the saute, we remember Jim's
,ast training for Corbett
Jim was always bear for work. He
used to gallop 16 or II miles over the
mountain roads near Hardin Springs,
take his light shower, rub, grub and
nap, and come out in the afternoon for
three hours of the gymnasium, butting
the heavy bag, twisting the wrist ma
chimes and slamming his sparring part

pion, 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,
Jack spinning against the ropes, all the
fight knocked out of him. He lasted two
rounds and portion of the third
Bob got up, tossed his bathrobe to
his wife and stepped into the ring. 1t
was his first real fight since Jeff had
stopped him in eight rounds year be-
fore in San Francisco.
Fitz wasted no time in sparring but
tented, made an opening and sent over
his right hand to the jaw. Jeff bored in
and began humping away at F'itz' ribs
and the two men fought their way all
around the ring, crafty old Bob using
every trick he knew and landing hard
and often. In the clinches he grinned at
his wife as if to reassure her.
Jeff took fine lacing in the first
round of that fight, but in spite of his
long afternoons work, it was the fresh
one Of the pair who went to his corner
putting badly. Jeff did not seem tired
and he was out like a flash when time
was called
They went at it all over again, but
this time Jeff crowded the pace keep
ing on top of Fitz all the time and new
er giving him a chance to set for any
thing. The old fellow firing fast, put in
a great three-minute fight, but a few
had him in trouble at the end of the
round.
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
finisher, Jeff slipped in one terrific
pile driver of a punch to the body, and
Fitz rocked back to his corner, sig
mailing that he had had enough.
Jeff never limited that he know of
Fitz's plan to show up the champion,
but Bob Fitzsimmons was a very hum
BILE fighter after that afternoons Sc
ance.
This is the sort of training which
Jeff ought to have for his fight-all the
big, strong men he can get-rough fell
lows like Jim Flynn and Barry, Sam
Langford would be the ideal man for
the work if he weighed 40 pounds
more. (There are plenty of people who
believe that if Langford weighed 40
pounds more he would be the black
champion instead of Johnson)
Fighting, not boxing, is what Jeff
needs on this training trip.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-01-29

Jeff Had Three Men.
A week or SC before the Corbett fight
Jeffries had three men with whom he
spared: Joe Kennedy, a big rough fell
low who weighed close to 200 pounds;
lack Jeffries, the brother, who coul6
always put up a better fight against
Jim that he could against any other
good man, and the daddy of all of them,
Bob Fitzsimmons.
Bob had just been married and had
brought his bride to Hardin with him,
which has always been a feature of
Bob's makeup, he decided to show the
new little wife what a great fighter she
had married.
He confided in his wife that he was
going on last with Jeff that afternoon
and he was not going to boX-he was
going to fight and it wouldn't surprise
him the least little bit if he should
put Jeffries down for the count. 1t
would have been all right if Mrs. Bob
had not told a few of her friends and
those friends hadn't told jeff
Wanted Tired Giant.
That afternoon Bob sat around the
gym in his trunks, encouraging Jeff to
go after the various stunts good and
hard. The crafty old fox wanted to
be sure that he was getting a tired
giant for the windup. Jeff fell in with
the plan and put in a very stiff after
