JEFF ALREADY AT WEIGHT.

Now few words TO the skeptics
who are worrying over Jeff getting
into condition. IL was only a few
days ago that Jeffries submitted to
an exhaustive physical examination
In Chicago and was pronounced to
be In magnificent shape. That should
clear up the situation. / met JEFF
a few days ago and want TO an
nounce that he already tips the scale
between $50 and z65 pounds. which
is his regular fighting weight. It
looks now as though the big fellow
would have to ease up for a time
before he starts in vigorous train
ing. With his health good, his
strength never better, his eye as
clear as when he was at his best,
the man to beat Jim JeffrIes is still
unheard of. And I say this notwith-
standing the fact that I consider
Jack Johnson a good, clever, high
