If there is any question remaining as
to Jim Jefries' condition. 1t has TO 10
with his boxing, and. while there has
been an almost constant cry on the part
Of his admirers for glove work. it has
not been until within the past week or
so that things have come to q crisis
right within his own camp
Jim COrbett, the supposed Moses who
was chosen TO lead Big Jim out Of the
wilderness Of uppercuts and jabs, has
shown signs Of rebellion Gentlemen
Jim took TO heart the many criticisms
offered because Of JefIries' failure - do
attached to himself He became quite
free in his talk of Jefries' evident in
difference. JeffrieS, he insisted, needed
more boxing Within the past few days
JeffTies is making a most serious mis-

partners do more work

the battle is over
Camp Is Divided
That there has been a difference %

ries' camp has just become known
Three weeks ago Jim was in shape. and
with q couple Of days for drying OUT
he could have gone into the ring in just
as e0od form as ne wiz show when he
enters the ring Monday afternoon
The camp was not exactly divided
against itself as the pTeDOnderance OF
judgment was against any more hard
work boxing or otherwise
Brother Jack. who has been with ~iTn
in all his big fights, has insisted
throughout that there was no necessity
for boxing. and in this he has been
borne out by Farmer Burns. Roger
Cornell. and Bob ArmstT0nS- Joe
I Choynski was non-cou1ruittalr but will
ing % admit that his old rival was
ready" To Cornell. the ex-chamuioD
gave mis- ear. Roger maintained that
all Jefries needed was a little road

JeFries hesitated a long while be-
tween the public Clamor and C0rbe-ts
