JEFFRIEs WILL DO.
Big Man Is a Marvel of Perfect Phys icaI Condition-EngIish Doctors Verdict.

That Jack Johnson Is a fit specimen for a championship heavyweight fight is admitted. but there has been and is still great doubt expressed regarding James J. Jeffries Many feel that Jef- fries cannot come back. Jeffries is a mystery. The Chicago Tribune, in an attempt to get at the real condition of dergo a close examination by Dr. c. w Piper of EngleWood. The doctor found Jeffries to be surprisingly fine. Here is what he has to say; "A go- rilla man of the stone age brought back to the flesh; a reincarnation of a mighty BerSerker; or a medieval mountaineer of the Atlas region, the birthplace of the strongest men-any one of these might envy the huge frame and mountainous muscles of the Jefries who passed the ordeals> of sci ence yesterday.
 'I have seen many athletes and have examined a number. but never before has such a perfect symmetrical phys ique meen presented for scientific ex- animation, at least to my knowledge Indeed, the only figure in classic art that would compare favorably with Jeffries in sheer exposition of power is the Farnese Hercules. But these are generaIities This is what the ex- animation indicated: Heart in per dous; circulation good; absolutely no indications of muscle degeneracy; ner- vous system in excellent order: no enlargement of kidneys; no sign of Bright's disease, the bane of many big men; no disorders that will af- feet stamina; one fault, right arm crooked at elbow as result of injury received in a ball game"
 After going into details as to his ex- animation. Dr. Piper says in concIus- ion:
 At present Jeffries is like a race horse receiving a light spring work out. To plunge into the heaviest of training now would be a mistake be- cause Of the dangers of staleness. When Jeffries does begin the arduous grind Of real training, he will come course. he will not be quite the Jeff fries of six years ago. That would be contrary to the las of Nature. but. nevertheless 1t will be a wonderful

VANGUARD COMING.
MerEIe Says He'll Make Good This Year-Rube Kept the Ball in the Groove Too Much.

All the talk in baseball circles of deals and trades, in which the name of Rube Marquard figures, seems premature. As far as the public knows, NcGraw may have no idea of letting the S11.0O0 southpaw go to any other team. Fred Merkle, a team mate of Marquard, is of the opinion that next season will see the latter taking his regular turn in the pitchers box for the Giants. Ac- cording to Merkle. McGraw has lot of confidence in Marquard. and has hopes that he will develop into star next year. Merk says that Marquard' s fault last summer was due to his persistency in keeping the ball in the groove.
 His control wasn't quite what it should have been," declared Merkle, "and as a result he would try to flash the pill across the plate instead of shooting for the corners He has everything and would go along inning after inning and without getting into trouble. Then suddenly the other club would fall on him, and it would be all off. Rube also had a lot of bad luck and it seemed as he could not get started right. He learned a lot, and if he gets away successfully next spring watch out"

pugiHst that will crawl through the ropes encircling the ring in which the iblack conqueror of Burns, Kaufman. and Ketchel will be awaiting him. If Jeffries fights defensively in that bat tie, l do not see how any human be- ing can beat him to the canvas. As to his offensive ability, judgment of distance. etc, I leave that ta critics of the ring. I really do not regard the difference in the ages of the pros pective opponents as important No vital change takes place in the body between 31, Johnson's age, and 34, Jef- fries. The great question has been, Can the white man regain his stami- na? My answer and conclusion is that the Jeffries of today is potentially rugged, almost perfect man, and can reach the greatest degree of per lection possible for the human body at 34 years"

DANNY MAHER's TEMPER.
Hartford Jockey Learned to Control If in England Mclaughlin, Garrison and Maher Brilliant Connecticut Trio.

It made some of the veterans who knew. Danny Maher smile when they read an extract from an English jour nal the other day about the patience shown by the American in handling Bayardo and his diplomacy in getting the crack British fveyear old to go to the post by taking him around by the Rowley mile back of the stands and out of sight of the crowds
 When Danny was riding in this country he was not noted for his sweetness of temper. The great rider as small boy had a violent temper, as his full black brOws meeting across the bridge of his nose would indicate. The drubbing he gave Banaster in the Suburban when the horse wheeled at the start will never be forgotten by those who saw it.
 Every person must admit that Maher had strong provocation, for the cum full headway and like a flash he would dig his toes in the ground, whirl to the left and go the wrong way of the track. With the present system of starting in vogue when BanaSter was running the horse would be left at the post nine times out of ten. Maher was beside himself when the horse whirled on that memorable day at Sheepshead Bay and he beat the liver cOlored chestnut son of F'arandole until he was covered with bumps as big as hens eggs every where the jockey could reach him with the whip.
 
 was warned that the turf authorities there were particularly severe on riders who punished their mounts un- necessarily, and he did not offend the first season he rode abroad. The next year, however, he almost lost his license for this fault, and the warning he received then has had a wholesome effect apparently.
 There is no jockey that has made more consistently brilliant record abroad than this modest young man from Connecticut, and that he won victory over his naturally quick tenn per is not the least of his achieve ments, and horsemen on both sides of the water will learn with regret that he is getting too heavy to ride and will hardly be seen in the saddle after 1910, if during that period. Maher is about the age when Mclaughlin and Garrison, who also came from Con- necticut. had to give up active work in the saddle All three boys came from Hartford, and 1t is doubtful if any city in the world has ever produced three such famous jockeys. It is also note worthy that all three were brought out and practically developed by the Dalys, Bill and Hfike.-New York Sun.
