.'OLD jack MUNROE
WOULD AID JEFF
Veteran Fighters Offer to Pay
All His Expenses Politely
Decline by Berger

BEN LoMOND. May 26.--Almost as a
voice from the grave came an offer
today from Jack Munroe to join the
training forces at the camp of James j.
JeHries and assist in putting the for
mer champion in shape for his fight
with Jack Johnson on the national holi-
day. Munroe is the Butte miner, who,
after an exhibition match with the
then champion in the Montana city, met
.Jenr1es in San Francisco for the
worlds championship and was promptly
knocked out in the second round The
letter in which Munroe volunteers was
written in the former miners home on
the Bouladerie islands, Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia Munroe is so anxious to
help that he agrees to pay his own
rallroad fare and defray all of his own
expenses while In the Jeffries camp
Manager Sam Berger, acting for JEFF
tries. replied to the letter today, ex-
pressing thanks. but gracefully declin-
ing the helping hand.
Jeffries' morning .jaunt on the road
was the extent of his toll today He
had planned to box six fast rounds, but
he did not awaken from his siesta this
afternoon until 4 o'clock and then he
announced that further exertions would
be postponed until tomorrow
Most of Jeffries work will be in the
morning tomorrow SO that the big
hghter can leave Ben Lomond on the
afternoon train for San Francisco,
where he will give an exhibition box
ing show tomorrow night. Trainer
Cornell, Joe Choynski and Jack JEFF
fries will accompany him. 1t is pos
sible that James J. Corbett will arrive
in time to join Jeffries at the pavilion.
Sorbett will be with the party when
they return to camp. When Jeffries
received his telegram today he said.
Now you'll see some fun when Cor
bett and / start boxing.
Jeffries holds Corbett in high regard.

STOCKTON HIGHS
team DEFEATED
VfcfOrs Touch Up Barnhard in
Big League Fashion, With
Final Score II to 4

The final game for the baseball
championship of the Academic league
was won by the crack team repre-
.senting Sacred Heart college yesterday
afternoon. The game was played on
the Ocean Shore grounds and the
Stockton high schol team, which op-
posed the local tossers. went down to
defeat in one sided contest. The
final score was II to f.
The victors welded the stick in big
league form, and Bernhard, who did
the twirling for the Slough City toss
ers, was touched up for IA bingles. two
of which went for home runs.
Sacred Heart used two pitchers dur
ing the game. Gaffney took the hill
at the outset, but after working for a
fraction over five innings he was taken
out when the Stockton tossers began to
hit him. French, Sacred Hearts south
paw shooter, relieved him and pitched
mastery ball during the remainder of
the game.
The sixth frame was a bad one for
Gaffney, as the visitors went after him
and chased him to the bench Stock
ton got four hits and three runs and
took the lead. Their advantage was
very brief, as Sacred Heart came back
and peppered Barnhard in a lively
manner. Score:
The San Francisco call., 1910-05-27

San Francisco viii have chance this
evening TO see Jim Jeffries as he is.
The retired heavy weight champion Of
the world is billed to square off in the
ring at Dreamland and go through his
boxing stunts with Joe Choynski, Bob
Armstrong and his brother Jack.
Everybody who is Interested in the big
fight will be interested in the Jeffries
show this evening Each fan believes
that he can tell by looking at the big
fellow work what his condition is. This
is all nonsense. but anyhow it will go
= long way.
The argument Of the knowing ones
IS that Jeffries must be in grand ply
sical condition or practically fl to do
battle for the championship, for other
wise he would not be taking a chance
by showing himself before a large, crit
acal crowd. OF course il will mean q
nice little sum TO JEFF. but still he could
not very well afford to take such a
chance unless his condition was such
as TO warrant a public appearance and
inspection.
Jeffries is good worker before a
crowd if he cares about working. Last
winter he appeared at that show one
Sunday afternoon at the ball park and
made a great impression on everybody
who saw him work. He had not even
completed his training plans then. Now
he comes here after going through
more than six weeks of the strenuous
grind in the mountain atmosphere, so
IL stands TO reason that the big fell
low Is going TO present most impress
sive and imposing example OF the mod
ern gladiator this evening.
1T WILL HELP SOME
All sparring matches are about the
same so il viii be hard. for this reason
10 get anything like true line on the
boiler makers form. But, at the same
time, these exhibitions will do a lot
toward showing his heetness of foot, his
method of attack and defense and his
that viii test Jeff's stamina outside Of
a real fight
Jefries always was a wonder on his
feet and the fans viii remember that
he showed plenty Of speed in this re-
spect in his last sparPing show in this
city. AS boxer the big fellow never
figured ike q prize winner. At this
game johnson lays over him like a dia-
mond over a leather medal. II is not
likely that JEFF even believes he can
show a scientific man up.
Jim Corbett is due this evening on
the Overland Limited and if the train is
on time ii is almost a certainty that
this other former heavy weight cham
pion also viii be out at the pavilion.
He may possibly get into Jef's corner,
and he certainly will make a speech,
but there is no chance Of his doing any
sparring work with the big fellow just
yet
Corbett viii be met up at Sacramento

FANS MAY PEEK AT
BIG JEFF TONIGHT
He Will Square Off at Dreamland to
Show What Training Has Done
By WILLIAM ]. sLATTERY

by his brother. Tom, who will head a
large delegation Of prominent local
sportingmen. Every one of the old
timers remembers Jim. and they are all
anxious to get together and extend to
him the hearty hand of welcome upon
his return. Not since Jeff beat him
seven years ago has Corbett been here
with fighter or a fighting show.
JEFF SHES AT GLAD HAND
Jefries will not slip into this city till
shortly before his turn to appear on
tha stage. He absolutely refused to
come up here a day ahead of time He
does not want to mix with the throng
and shake the hand of all comers, nor
does he care about chugging around in
an automobile, taking in the sights or
noting the improvements since he was
last here
After the show Jeff will beat it.right
back to his Rowardennan retreat, where
he viii remain till within few days
of the fourth of July battle. Conse-
quently this probably will be the last
opportunity the majority of the local
fight fans will have of seeing the big
fellow in the limelight till he enters
the ring to attempt to win back the
championship crown.
AS for Johnson, he may come to the
show tonight logged up with a pair
of false whiskers. However, it will
be a tough job for the big black to
disguise himself. He could be picked
out Of a crowd Of many thousand. He
admits that he would like TO take a
peek at Jeff in action, but at the same
time he has not quite made up his mind
whether TO show up this evening or
not
Johnson did not miss his roadwork
yesterday morning. He was out on a
Il mile jaunt and he pulled up at the
Seal Rock house feeling fine and frisky.
The rest of the day he spent in scorch-
ing along the boulevard in his racing
car and lounging around the place rest
ing up. Johnson will resume his box
ing stunts tomorrow afternoon and Sum
day. and he will also perform on
Monday.
POWELL HAS A CHANCE
Lew Powell, the only remaining
lightweight which, California now
boasts, arrived yesterday morning from
Los Angeles, where he succeeded in
trimming George Memsic last Saturday
afternoon. Powell says that he has
agreed TO fight Ad Wolgast 20 rounds
at Tom McCarey,s Vernon arena on the
afternoon of Saturday, June %.
McCarey claims that Wolgast has ac-
cepted his terms and that the match
will go through beyond the question of
a doubt. If it does, Powell will have
grand opportunity to become the light
weight champion. Though Wolgast
beat him here last winter, it was any
thing but a decisive victory and Powell
was far from being himself on that
memorable night.

| eled and put in first class shape and
has been furnished with u~p-to-date
sanitary fixtures, such as are found in
all high class barber shops.
The management has beep FORUM

corps of ~tonsorial artists. who are
| known to be some of the best that
| can be found anywhere.
Mr.. C. VI. Arnold will have charge
of the .barbering end of the business.
and will no doubt make a success of

ed in this work by L.. l.. Farmer. bet
ter known as "Pud." who is well

located at the rear of the building.
1t really makes bright sun light look
