JEFF CAN START

Need Have No Fear Regarding His
Financial Future, Regardless of
Result of Bout With Johnson.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-Several
friends of James J. Jefries have re
ceived word from him that he would
arrive in Los Angeles on Feb. 10, and
would then begin a long hunting trip.
The boiler makers present tour with
an athletic combination will end by
that time. and the big pugilist Will
then have more than four months 10

his battle with Johnson
Jefrles has made nearly 100000
clear out of his present engagement,
which was planned last November by
a Chicago man. while his profits last
year from his vaudeville exhibitions
were nearly as much Having cleaned
up close TO 100000. therefore. by
means OF public exhibitions which
have been literally patronized on the
strength OF the match with the Negro
pugilist. Jenries is telling his closest
friends that he viii never have to
worry over financial matters again.
Big Jim's greatest concern. though,
is the problem which now actually
confronts him. AS soon as he reaches
his Los Angeles home he intends to
find out definitely just what nature
has left him in the way OF physique,
so he can determine as nearly as pos
sible how long and how strenuously
he must train TO At himself for the
fight
Jenries il is conceded is more anX-
ious about his wind than his physical
strength. That his bellows have not
yet shown signs of their former
capacity is well known. Jefries'
friends say that he realizes the fight
with Johnson will be a longdrawn-
out affair. due 10 the Negroes defen-
sive tactics. and that he knows his
fhng power must be strong enough TO
enable him 10 go the route.
