The awful strain on the abdomi-
nal muscles In Jeff's abdominal eN-

the hardening result. Jeffries never
lets up, nor does he pun when Il

This is another evidence OF good
condition. He hardly ever drinks
anything except a mouthful OF water
and he only gargles his mouth with
that. Many athletes spoil the effects
OF their training by drinking too
much water and other liquids, but
it is evident that Jeffries is not that

WEIGHS ABOUT $50 POUNDS.

Jenries has been steadily declining
90 get on the scales in front of the
newspaper men, but IL is given to
me straight that his weight is now
$50 pounds. which Is just about
right for a man of his size. His eyes
are beautifully bright and clear and
his heart must be right to DO the
work he does, and not show the
strain.

berry shortcake he ate. 1t is un-
doubtedly a fact that he does en-

Johnson, before he left San Fran
cisco, referring 10 the current rumor
that Jenries would make a rushing
night OF 1t from the START, remarked:
III be ready for him. I'm making
an especial study OF in-fighting."
Today Kaufman gave an imitation
or Jeffries, and Johnson was almost
entirely on the defense. The men did
not stand away and spar for an in.
slant at any point OF the bout. Kauf.

Johnson. swinging a left TO the body
In the way that Jeffries has a habit
OF doing. and Johnson timed the
coming OF the Kaufman left and beat
1t down with his forearm time and
again.
There was scarcely any variation
TO kaufman's methods or going after
Johnson. He would try for the body
with the left Johnson would block
and then they would clinch and SWAY.
In all the time they were clinched.
Johnson was surely making a study
or in-hghting, or rather, studying
how 10 prevent his opponent doing
any damage at close quarters.

POUR IMITATION OF JEFF.

At the beginning of each cIinch
johnson would place his palms
against the upper muscles of Kauf.
mans arm and thus prevent him from
getting in body blows. AS AL tried
TO break the hold Johnson. without
being Hurried. would entwine his
arms with Kaufman's aud battle his
attempts TO ram in jolly punches.
From the way Kaufman behaved
1t was evident that he was told TO
do his best, but he made very little
Roadway. Johnson's defense was TOO
perfect, and IL ever Kaufman did
manage 10 get an arm free and cuff
Johnson around the ears, Johnson
would allow his head to roll with
each punch, one OF his ways of les
SEEMING the force of the blows.
Candor compels the remark that
Kaufman gave a very poor repre-
sentation of the way Jeffries uses the
left. Al hit out from long range every
time, and Johnson had very little
difficulty In turning the blow aside.
Jeffries rushes and cuts loose with
the lert at one and the same time.
His arm Is held close to his side
as a ruse and his left shoulder is
thrown forward as a buffer. Very
often he does not let go the punch
untl his shoulder almost touches
his opponents breast.
