Although the latter was willing to quit at the end of three rounds. Jeff was keen for more. and Berger was taken on for two more. They were going fast in both bouts but the big fighter stood it well. and could easily have kept the pace for another set-ts if he could have found a part ner.
 Berger. while coming out of clinohes. frequently landed an uppercut-this one of Johnson's favorite punches and Berger employed it whenever pos sible with q view of coaching Jeffries m blocking it.
 Joe Choynski was an interested spec rotor He expressed himself as quit. surprised at Jeffs physical improve al-nt. but he said he believed the boi ierInaksr neesisd some good stiff box ing bouts to put him in olc fighting trim.
 In addition to boxing- Jeffries went through the usual routine road work and gymnasium practice; covering twelve miles in the morning run. with two sessions of hsndball later and d vigorous attack on the punching bag H.. won both hsndbsll games against Sam Berger and Billy Papke. who op- posed him.

PfNCHOT'S LAWYER
 MAKES SUGGESTION

Washington. April ss-After attacking certain statements in Attorncys Genefal Wickersham's : summary of Glavis' case. during his oss-eNsmination of wit ness before the BaIlinger-Pin- chot investigation today. Attor- ney Brandeis, counsel for GIaviS. threw out the broad suggestion . that a statement was demanded months earlier than it had been prepared to make it appear that President Taft's letter of yindi- cation of Secretary Ballinger had been based upon the alleged facts it contained.
 At the White House and the department of justice it was said that neither the president nor tho attorney general would com nent upon Brandeis' intima- tions.
 Comparatively little progress was made with the inquiry. des- pite the apparently growing i'm patience of the committee to bring the hearing to a close.
 The committee probably will decide tomorrow whether it will hold hearings three days each week.
