the remainder of the day he was limp
ing around the camp.
When Jeffries returned home from his
fishing trip and was apprised of his
good luck he thanked his lucky stars
that he had not been in the party. He
was sorry for Armstrong. however.
He declared that from now on he will
be careful and says that he will likely
go to the arena on the day of the con-
stead of an up to date automobile.
The omen of good luck seems to be
following the fighter, and the members
of the camp think it will continue
right along. IL JEFF had been in the
machine he probably would have been
seriously hurt Even had he received
the injuries which Armstrong sustained
they would have sadly interfered with
his fighting chances on Juls 4.
The accident today has caused the
trainers OF the big fellow to be more
cautious and a close guard against ac-
cidents will be maintained in the fu-
ture. 1t is doubtful il jeff will do any
more auto riding until after July 4.
DULL DAYS At CAMP
The dull days around training
camp. which precede the last hours be-
fore battle, began today at Jeff's
CdTup dJ SnOdIld SpEllASs IOI tilC NA4t-
fighter loafed throughout the day. The
drying out process has begun and Jeff's
training has practicallyeceased.
Roadwerk. boxing and other forms of
gym work are no longer in the minds
of Jeff or his trainers ard they are not
worrying any more on this score. II
will be light work from now until the
time of battle. Sprints and other light
forms of exercise will be- indulged in
by Jen.
notwithstanding the news that was
carried around that JEFF would do no
work today big crowd gathered out
side of his training quarters and eyed
him curiously. The number of women
who were in evidence was amusing.
They seemed to be more anxious to get
peek at the alfalfa king than those Of
the opposite sex. Some of them re-
manned around for hours with their
eyes glued on the big fellow.
After he had decided to go fishing
instead OF automobile riding in the
morning Jeff's trainers concluded that
he was off for the day. but Jen sur
prised them by showing up early In the
afternoon JEFF and Jack Wooley
whipped the Truckee river, for several
hours in their search for speckled beau
ties and they had fair success.
.HEARTs. AMUSE HIM
JEFF returned to his camp during the
afternoon and lounged about the quar-
ters. The trainers in the camp have

the auxiliary referee. Until such time
as he climbs into the ring and makes
his speech, the governor will have to
be a second choice in the discussion, un-
less, perchance he turns a Gillett
somersault and declares that the battle
can not be fought in the state of Ne
vada.
LITTLE LEFT FOR FIGHTERS
So far as the fighters go, there is
little left to tell. Jeffries declares pos
itively that he is through. He will do
nothing more, save a little light exer-
else. He firmly believes that he is in
condition, the best condition he ever
was in during his long career as the
heavy weight champion of the world.
He is fast drying out and the chances
are that he Will be many pounds lighter
when he steps into the ring on Monday
afternoon. He probably will be a 2aO
pound man then. He is over the 225
pound mark now.
The strain is beginning to tell upon
many of the Jeffries admirers Though
they still put confidence in him. still
every rumor from the johnson camp
and every little bit OF information from
the betting .centers upsets them. This
was very noticeable this evening.
The big white man is through. He
may do little more boxing. but II will
not be serious work, nothing like he
has been doing for the last two months.
Johnson is down to 209 pounds. lust a
pound over the weight at which he an
nounced some time ago he would fight.
Manager Tom Flanagan, however, is
very certain that Johnson viii weigh
at least 212 pounds on Monday after
noon. Flanagan is a great expert OF.
condition and weight and every other
detail that attends a championship ring
contest. Although Johnson does not
agree with him, Flanagan is dead Ger
tain of his own position. and he has
plenty of followers who believe that he
knows just as much about Johnson's
condition as the black champion fim-
self What Flanagan does not know
about the black doesn't count

redOubled their efforts to entertain Jeff
during the remaining days before the
fight and keep his mind off the battle
as much as possible. A game of hearts
consumed several hours of the after
noon Jeff played the game with as
much pleasure as any of the others.
If he thinks about the coming en-
gagement at all he certainly conceals
it by his actions and looks. He talks
seriously of minor matters and the
word fight is never mentioned. If one
of his intimate friends happens to drop
in on him. the stranger is given the
tip by his trainers not TO mention any
thing about the fight. Jeff is not of
nervous temperament and he can be
counted upon to have good sleep the
night preceding the battle.
Among the visitors at Jen's camp to-
day was Charley White of New York.
who will be the second referee. White
was taken out to Jen's quarters BY
Promoter Rickard.
During the morning JEFF was asked
how he felt. and replied that he was
never in better shape.
II am ready TO meet this fellow i'm
any kind OF battle. said Jeff. II
am going into the ring TO win as soon
as possible. II there Is an opportunity
to put the finishing blow in the frsf
round l will let it go and il will be
delivered with al the force which I
possess. I am going into the ring in

possible. and there won't be any pitv

as I am concerned
SYSTEM OF RUBDOWNs
This little outburst of talk about
the fight was interesting to the few
who stood around the big fellow and
they seemed TO want TO hear more. but
JEFF made il brief and switched to an
other subject Jef~s eyes are as clear
as a blue diamond and his frame looks
to be entirely free from excess weight
Masseur Cornell is putting Jef
through system OF rubbing now that
viii have a tendency to tighten the
flesh around the big fellows stomach.
The opinion of Jeffs trainers is that
he will remain around his present
weight until the time for the fight
The reason given for Jeff not weighing
in before the fight is the fact that the
big fellow Is perfectly satisfied with
his present condition. II Jeff weighed
himself and found that he was or 10
pounds more than he figured his train
ers say that he would be on the road
working this weight of and ii would
have a bad effect on him.
