JEFF SKlPS R0PE 1906
TIMES IN II MINUTES

BEN I.OMOND, May 27.-Jim Jeffries
put in somewhat strenuous after
noon today before leaving for San
Francisco this evening to appear in a
public boxing exhibition there.
''Tu just punch the bag for few
minutes to timber myself up for to-
nights show" declared Jeffries as he
went into the gymnasium this after
noon. An lfour and twenty minutes
later he decided that he had enough
and was dripping with perspiration..
He not only punched the bag for half
an hour without a stop, but skipped
the rope, tussled with chest weights
and shadow boxed until his assistants
feared that he would miss the train for
San Francisco. His rope hopping to-
day was an unusual feat, as he skipped
1906 times in eleven minutes.
I'm glad of this chance to show
some of the boys in San Francisco that
1 have not wasted any time down
here" remarked Jeffries as he boarded
the train. at will be lot of salts
faction to me to surprise them with
my present condition.
Jeffries was accompanied by his en-
tire retinue of trainers, sparring part
ners and assistants.

vicious right swing and planted a
straight left on Ketcheps face.

of infighting Ketchel sent left to the
face and the gong ended the round.
Lewis was very confident when he
stepped into the center of the ring in
the second. He went after Ketchel
furiously, but the fast pace suited
Ketchel, who, after several exchanges
planted a hard left on Lewis body and
followed it with a terrific right swing
to the Jaw Lewis fell hard to the
floor and was counted out. He lay
there for several minutes before be-

HAZEL HOTCHK|SS
READY FOR FRAY
Woman Tennis Champion of the
United States Practices
with May Sutton

Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, woman tennis
champion of the United States, arrived
yesterday morning from Berkeley, and
on her arrival at the Mt. Washington
hotel started in to make use Of her
precious few hours practice before the
real fray this morning. Miss May SUIT
ton was also on the courts, and al
though the two were not individually
opposed they had a number of fast
mixed doubles matches in the final
practice for the tourney. Miss Hotch-
kiss is at her best.
At $3.50 this morning the first two
matches of the tourney will begin, and
throughout the day, with an hours
cessation at noon, there will be a sue
cession of the classiest matches ever
seen on the local courts. The morning

and the mems doubles will be on the
afternoon program.
The first two matches will be Miss
Florence Sutton and Herd VS.. Mrs.
Bruce and Wayne; Miss Mary Browne
and Sinsabaugh VS.. Miss Hotchkiss
and Mclaughlin. About IL o'clock the
match between Miss May Sutton and
Bundy and Miss Golda Myer and Sum
ner Hardy will be called. This will
undoubtedly prove to be one of the fea-
lures of the tournament. 1t being
Hardys first appearance on the local
courts, there will be a number of old
timers on hand to see whether he is
in his real form. Miss Myer always
attracts a large following of tennis
enthusiasts wherever she goes. The
southern pair are expected to win, but
the match will not be an easy one.
One o'clock is the scheduled time for
the first match in the mems doubles,
and that event will be the feature of

Sinsabaugh, Mclaughlin and Long,
Wayne and Variel, Dawson and Young,

through the first round.
Seating capacit-- has been provided
for about 1900 spectators, and the COM
mittee in charge has endeavored to
give full publicity to the announce
ment that there is no neeed of invita-
tion, for the spectator and the public
will be welcome. The courts are lack
ing in the glare that has been so trou-
blesome heretofore, having been given
a coat of green.

ASSOCIATED Pressl


SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-When
James ]. Jeffries stepped down out OF
the ring at Dreamland rink tonight
where he spared six rounds before
more than 5000 enthusiastic fight fans,
and showed his way through the throng
CT spectators to his dressing room, the
general opinion was that he had round
ed into excellent shape during his five
weeks stay at the Ben Lomond train
ing camp. He is brown and hard, ana
most surprising of all, there is not a
trace of the overplus stomach he car
ried when he returned from the east TO
start conditioning. He was fast on his
feet. clever and fairly sure in his de-
fense.
For every "he looks great, doesn't
he?" there was a Doesn't he seem
older than he did?" and so Went the
gossip.
Jeffries warmed up in three rounds
with Little" Joe Choynski. No line
could be drawn on the former champion
in this bout, but he gave some idea OF
his speed and footwork. He appeared
to have a store Of reserve strength that
3he could not use on the weakened man
in front of him. The three rounds with
'sBrother Jack" were more interesting,
but neither encounter was such that a
good estimate of the big fellow could
be had. He smiled and chewed the In
evitable cud of gum during his entire
session in the ring.
Jeffries entered the ring at 1920 p.
M, following a series of six-round am
ateur bouts, and was given an ovation.
He was in a particularly jovial mood
and joshed everybody in the ring. He
stepped aside when James j. Corbett
Jumped into the ring amid great ap-
plause. Corbett, who arrived tonight
from the east, was met by big crowd
and escorted to the pavilion in a small
automobile parade. The cheering as he
stood in the ring continued for nearly
two minutes.
Jeffries intends to leave for Ben Lo-
mond in the morning.

NEEDS YOUNG
HELPERS, SAYS JOHN |.

NEW YORK, May 27.-John L. Sulli
van had a few things to say on the
Jeffries- johnson fight today on his ar
rival from Europe, and then staggered
his interviewers by taking a long leap
into the profundities of political ques-
tions of Europe. The former heavy
weight champion has been on honey
moon in Europe and returned on the
Mauretania to see the fight in San
Francisco.
"Jeffries doesn't need old fellows like
Corbett and Choynski in his training"
said Sullivan. what he needs is
young fellows with a lot more speed
than he has,
"At what age does a mans speed
leave him ?' was asked.
"Oh that depends on the man. After
a fellow is %, however, he generally
begins to feel his speed going from
him. Just how fast it leaves him de-
pends a good bit on how fast a life he
leads. Jeffries doesn't need man he
can box with. He should have some
fellow who can worry him a whole lot"
John L. said he never knew of a man
who left the boxing game and then got
back to form again.
"Theres always the possibility,
though" he added, "for Jeffries is a
hard man and a fighter from the word
go. If he caI1sget back into shape he's
a better man than Johnson, and can
whip him. For that matter who has
Johnson beaten, anyhow? Ketchel was
good man, but he was no real match
for the big black"
But the British government seemed
to hold more charm for the old fighter
than things pugilistic, for Sullivan
sidestepped boxing and launched into
English economic conditions.
england and Scotland and Ireland
are more impoverished than ever" he
said. "All this money that Great
Britain has been putting into her navy
you see Germany has been forcing
her to it by soaring her so much
proved an awful strain, and this pres
ent budget bill is just to make things
terrible"

Al KAUF MAN WILL WORK
IN JACK JOHNSON'S CAMP
Delaney Wants Him to Help in
Defeat of JeffrieS--0ff
to the Mountains

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-That Al
Kaufman, the California heavyweight,
will join the Johnson camp and box
with the present heavyweight cham
pion. is a question that was decided
today. Johnson wants the blacksmith
in his camp and has urged him to
make that move and Kaufman has
agreed. Kaufman, Billy Delaney and
Johnson had a long conference this
afternoon. Kaufman is to go to Har-
bin Springs Monday, and when he re-
turns he will go to the beach.
Il was not sure that [ would want
to go into the Johnson camp" said
Kaufman. "If he beats Jeffries 1 am
the only available heavyweight left to
fight him, and l want to keep myself
clean of any suspicious that might be
raised. At the same time, I feel that
Johnson could teach me something
about the boxing game that would be
just what 1 want.
johnson is very anxious to have me
with him. He tells me that Jeff boxed
in training camp with both Jim Cor
bett and Joe Choynski, and that after
ward he fought each Of them twice.
There are two things, it is said, that
determined Kaufman to go with john
son. One is the fact that Delaney
would like to help the champion un-
throne Jeffries permanently, and the
other is that Kaufman is at outs with
Sam Berger. Kaufman complains that
ever since he knocked out Berger in
San Francisco after the fire that Sam
has been bitter and has made many
unkind remarks. These rankle.
The Johnson workout today was the
same as yesterdays. He was on the
road for the regulation twelve miles.
Commencing tomorrow, Johnson will
box in the gymnasium three days in
row.
When asked this afternoon If he
would attend the Jeffries exhibition to-
night, Johnson replied:
mo, 1 Will not. There is no use of
stirring up trouble, and if 1 went to
the show Jeffries would think l was
coming just to aggravate him."
