had hard work to keep up with
the rapid strides of it's master.
That 235 pounds Of Jeffries was a
big load for an animal to carry, and
the Big Fellow was always thought
full enough of his "comrade" to
walk when the going became too
difficult for the animal.

Needless to say, both Mr.. Green

gain the title he relinquished.
1T would be useless for me to

a good friend of mine for years

IT'S all a question of the condi-

Robertson. IF Jeff's heart is in
perfect condition, that organ is not
affected in any way, he will surely
regain the title. | believe his heart
Is right, and consequently think he

The above picture of James j..
Jeffries, the undefeated champion,
and the two well-known local men,
was taken when Jeff was in Spo-
kane starring in "Davy Crockett. -
His friends, who always looked
with lenient eyes upon his histrion-
ic efforts, attribute his success IN
that production to Jeff's love or
hunting.
Messrs. Jeffries, Green and Rob-
ertson had several hunting expert
ences while the champion was In
Spokane with his show, the trio
taking several jaunts in the neigh
boring country on hunt for the
fast-disappearing prairie chicken.
The picture reproduced here was
taken when the party was out siz-
ing up a suitable hunting ground
preparatory to the DOMINIC of the
hunting regalia to go in search OF
the feathery game.
JEFF'S FAMOUS MULE.
When Jeffries first roamed the
California hills after game on his
great hunting trips following the
battles which gave him the cham
pionship and made his every move
ment of as much interest to the
fight world as that of the president
to the political, Jeff was always ac-
companied by mule.
This mule became as much part
of Jeff's hunting outfit as his gun,
and many stories have been told
by campers who have seen a tow

tremendous leap into the air, and
the spearing of the ball, which

the greatest catches ever pulled off
