hands, and its loss will be felt for a
time, but ii will likely be rebuilt.

this can go As rounds.
Jeffries, with three or four
days rest could go into the ring.
His wind is right, his skin is in

supple, he is as fast on his feet
as a middleweight and he has "a

As rounds he will be able to do so.
Jim Corbett is keeping Jeffries
perfect in Judgment of distance
and developing the snappy speed,
which are now the only things he
needs, in my opinion, to make
him perfect. Frank Gotch will
teach Jeff tricks useful in clinch
and breakaway and in the appli-
cation of power.
am sure of Jeffries because he
has the cool, calculating brain
that permits him to take punish
ment without becoming ratified;
the great heart that will carry
him through the fiercest milling
and the gameness and recupera-
tive power which will enable him
to come back In the face Of the
fiercest punishment.
This is my opinion. based up
ION my knowledge OF athletes,

and 20 years Of handling athletes.
I never saw man who possessed
all of the qualities which COM

machine as they are combined in

The market value of ball play
ers fiuctuates more quickly than
values in the Chicago wheat. pit
when the bulls and bears are en-
gaging in their merry little game
of Kidding each others bank
rolls. A ball player whose value
to his team this season is estimat-
ed at $4,000 may not be worth
$500 to the same team the fol-
lowing season, and that Is some
shrinkage.
For instance, take the case of
Eddie Karger, once great pitch
er. Four years ago Stanley Rob-
ison, owner of the Cardinals, re-
fused an offer of $4,000 for the
pitcher. A year later he was
traded to Cincinnati. was sent
from there to ST. Paul, and Is now
with the Boston Speed Boys and
pitching occasionally. He wouldn't
bring anywhere near $4,000
now.
Tim Jordan and Harry Lumley
have passed from the big leagues,
Jordan going to Montreal in the
Eastern and Lumley is out OF the
game for good. John McGraw,
regarded as about the best Judge
Of ball player in the business,
offered $4,000 to Brooklyn for
these two players three or four
years ago. McGraw also paid
$4,000 for Vanguard, and IL
Marquard has shown $4,000
worth of value to the Giants since
his purchase It has not been dis
cernible to the naked vision.

Jas. j. Jeffries Is In splendid
condition right now. He Is within
a few pounds of the weight at
which he will enter the ring. His
blood is in healthy condition. re-
ports to the contrary notwith-
standing. Talk about boils and
eruptions is absolutely false. The
only blemishes on his body have
been caused by improper massag-
ing. which irritated the hair and
caused what all men have expe-
rienced at the hands of BARRIERS
hairs. The use of alco-
hol and arnica rundown prepare
|tions dried up his skin and left
lit so it would be easily irritated.
Since l have assumed charge, this
condition has disappeared and his
skin and muscles are in as good
condition as l could ask. From
this time on Jeffries will work
only for speed. He has the
strength, the wind and the STAN
ina, ! am perfectly satisfied with
his condition and know he will en-
tier the ring in better shape than
in any of his previous contests.

22O POUNDS
{By United Press Leased wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
ROWARDENraAlN TRAINING
CAMP, June 8,-James ]. Jeffries
Is down to 220 pounds, according
to Roger Cornell, Jeffries' trainer,
today. Cornell said that the big
fellow will probably scale below
this figure In short time.
Jeffries did his usual road work
this morning and then announced
that he would take on his spar
ring partners If the outdoor arena
were finished in time.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-06-08

The most surprising thing to
those who have been in close con-
tact with Jeffries during his train
ing is the ease with which he has
worked himself into condition.
The contest is booked for the aft
ernoon of July A., and IL 1t were
to be pulled off in a fortnight he
could be ready to do himself Jus
tice. with absolutely no excuse to
offer in the event of his losing.
To those who thought that his
long lay-off would mar his judg-
ment of distance, or his accuracy
to well time his blows, let me say
that he has improved on both of
those essentials, and his hitting
powers-always good-have in
creased with added speed.
Jeffries realizes the importance
of this contest as he never did be-
fore, being brought out of his re-
tirement to uphold, as 1t were,
the prestige of the white race.
