augurated a most strenuous training cam

several hours each day playing ball, saw
ing wood, ON long iaunt OF sparring with
a friend The above picture shows the un-

desirable form of training. jeff recently
made a statement that baseball is one OF
the best forms Of training a fighter could
undertake, and he has lived up to his as
sertion by spending much of his time in
batting 'em out and his practice would
have been a credit to an ambitious young
candidate for a major league team. When
a number of sporting men visited his
home the other day they found him work

tossed It against a fence several feet dis
