bition to have one- of the greatest
training camps in the country.
Jimmy has greater things in mind.
He intends to make his place n
where the tired. business man may go
at n time to get some vigorous train
ing, and be relieved of hat nervous
ness that comes to him who is not
given to a certain amount of athletic
exercise.
Jimmy spends all his time in his little
colony ever watchful of its possibilities
and ready to advise anybody o
training.
There is no class of athletes that
need greater attention in their training
than boxers, The way these young men
are patronizing Jimmy's place is one OF
best recommendations.
At the present time there are eleven
boxers in the camp getting ready for
bouts all over the East.
Among them are frankie Burns, the
Jersey City boy. who is to meet Abe
Attell Friday night; Joe Shugrue, an
other Jersey City boy; Biz Maekey,
who will probably meet Joe Coster be-
fore long; Johnny Waltz, who is
matched to meet Paddy Levin; Joe
Bedell, who battles Leach Cross Thurs
day night at the Whirlwind Club;
Billy Lewis, the local boy; Jack White,
of Jersey City; Lew Turner, Gus Ryan,
of Jersey City; Jack McCarron and
Willie Faust.
One of the most unique methods of
training that the writer ever heard OF
as being practised by baseball players
in the spring in order to sharpen the
batting eye was made use of by the
Z Welsher- brothers. Abe and Harry. who
j leave shortly Ito join the professional
teams with which they have signed,
Abe with Altoona and Harry with
3 Wheeling in the Central League.
The brothers attached an object the
4 size of a baseball to the end Of a rope
which they tied to a long pole after
the fashion of the "cocky-hit-the-boot'
arrangement. They took turns swing
ing that pole as children do in the
aforementioned game. h rising and
falling of that ball and the jumps 1t
takes make the y very sharp.
While cr.o OF the brothers was a
! swinging the arrangement the other
took a bat and tried to hit the object
on the end of the rope. It was great
practise, Harry Welsher said.
Hughey Jennings has started a re-
form that is good. But it will be hard
of accomplishment. He will not let
his players gamble any more. Hughey
claims hat ennities between players
have been caused by gambling in his
club. That is true In other clubs.
What is also true is that the players
stay up all night gambling, much TO

but allowing Kid Wilson to weigh in
at las in the afternoon OF the fight
looks like a big dose for the Ghetto
boy to swallow. You'd better go slow
about weight, Kurtz. Remember what
happened to you when you gave Nc
Closkey so much.
When the Battling Hurley party ar
rived at the New Orpheum A. c.. in
New York, last night, the members
found a line of coppers in front of the
building and another batch inside, who
refused to let anyone enter the build
ing. AS a result the Passaic boys
bout with Cy Smith was declared off
until some later day.
