The man with regular employment
pays little attention to such appeals or

JEFFRIES TO TRY TO
COME BACK AGAIN.
Has an Idea That the Fault Was in
Training Before.


jim Jeffries is going to challenge
Jack Johnson again. This was the
positive statement made recently in
Los Angeles, Cal, by a man close to
the former worlds champion fighter.
1t appears that the big fellow has
besn contemplating this action for
some time now, having conceived the
idea soon after the Reno encounter
that had he trained differently he
would have been able to down the
negro 1t is claimed for him that he
has led an abstemious and careful life
for some time now, and is said to be
in the finest of physical condition. In
deed he is open in his statements that
he believes that at the present moment
he is in better shape, all things con-
sfdered than is the present champion.
There are hints that Jeffries has
consulted at least three Of the leading
trainers Of the country at different
times in the last three months for q
private and confidential opinion of his
condition, and that each, after a thor
cugh examination, pronounced him in
fit shape to begin a long siege Of train
ing work.
Jeffries still believes that he was
''doped' at his Moana Springs train
ing camp and insists that he scarcely
knew what IVES going on about him
when he entered the ring at Reno. He
insists that he can get into condition
and likewise Insists that he is Jack
JohnsOn's master. He refuses, how
ever, to acknowledge that he intends
returning to the ring, but was likewise
dumb on the same subject when asked
to deny that he contemplated such a
move.
Cherokee Tom Jones, who is men
toned as Jeffries' manager, when back
ed into a corner, made his talk straight
from the shoulder. Jim has not asked
me to be his manager. He has not told
me that he intends boxing again, but
it is my personal belief that he Is and
has been for weeks considering the
STEP
Jack Johnson is inclined to be
amused at the statements that Jeffries
again would challenge him to battle
for the championship.
We'll, that's rich, isn't it?" he ex
claimed. Coming back for some more,
is he? Well, 1 don't object.
COT course, couldn't make any reply
to such a thing offhand. I would want
to see what conditions he imposed in
his challenge. If the money could be
shown me wouldn't mind boxing Mr..
Jeffries again at any time, He's the
easiest thing know SO why not?'

New York, Feb. 27.-The local stock
market, as we'll as other important ex-
changes at home and abroad, reflected

London and on the continent this was
in great measure the result Of the will

TRoTTINe MILE IN 40.
Grand Circuit Secretary Confident That
Sensational Mark Will Be Reached.

A mile trotted in LAO is the predic-
ton OF George DIETRICH secretary Of
the grand circuit Some will say
am crazy to make such g. prediction"
said DIETRICH, but l firmly believe that
ultimately a harness horse will trot a
mile in lao. Horsemen have felt that
each new worlds record would stand
forever. The first horse to beat 2.30
was Lady Suffolk. 2.29 1-2, in 1856.
Horsemen of that day said the feat
would never be accomplished again.
Within 20 years Dexter cut down the
mark to 2.17 IA, and six years later
Goldsmith Maid went in 2.l4. Two
years after Goldsmith Maid trotted
her at that time, sensational mile,
Rarus set mark of 2.13 IA. which
was lowered to I'll IA by st. Julian
before another two years had passed.
All Of these miles were driven in a
high wheel sulky.
Then came the bike sulky and
through various stages down through
Sunol, Nancy Hanks. AK, Lou Dillon
and Uhlan. the record has been re-
duced to 1.5S ga in the open. Lou
Dillon's mark Of 1.58 IL was made
with the aid of a windshield. Ten
years ago there was spirited contro
versy as to whether q. horse would ever
reach the two minute mark. 1t would
be as foolish now for man to say
that 1.59 IA will never be beaten as
it was in 1857 when Robert Bonner
said Dexter's record of 2.17 IA would
stand as a worlds record for all time.
Budd Doble, who drove Dexter that
mile, predicted the two minute rrotter
and was ridiculed.
"Of course, there is certain to be a
limit as we now, look at the speed of
horses, but that limit has not been
reached so far. Uhlan trotted a half
mile last year in .56 IA. That means,
under favorable conditions, he can trot
a mile in 1.56 or shade better. and
Uhlan is now no more the acme of
perfection in the trotting horse than
Dexter was years ago. OF course, the
more the record is reduced the harder
it will be to clip q quarter Of a sec
ond, but it will be done. have known
harness horses to pull a, sulky as fast
for an eighth of mile as the best
runners can run, which is close to IL
ga. Therefore, with improvement in
breeding and greater intelligence in
training, I cannot see why a horse
trotting to sulky, should not ulti
mately reach a mile in lao"

federal license, as New Jersey Is the
last state to fall into line with the
policy which was established several
years ago by a majority Of the states.
All Of the other eastern, as well as the

granted the free use Of the highways to
