Chihuahua, Mexico, Feb. 27.-As an
explanation Of his continued delay in
attacking the federal army at ToIreon,
300 miles south of here, opinions were
expressed freely by close advisers of

leader is quite content with his pres
ent supreme authority, and that he
will not push southwark until neces-
sity seems to require it. Practically

and their position of being on the
verge of attacking the federals has
been unchanged for weeks.
Belief has been growing that the
federals under General Refugio velas-
co may soon assume the offensive and
send troops north to check the rebels,

that the rebels have lost ground by
their delay Waited upon by repre-
sentatives for foreign governments

jim CLABBY A
NATURAL BORN
FIGHTING MAN

! Leading up to the actual ring work
Of almost every lighter in the world
the public usually is told little some
| thing about the preparation he is max
ing for the combat, says an exchange
The press agent gets busy on the
stunts that the men are doing in the
gymnasium and also has plenty TO say
about the amount of road work thai
is necessary to fit this mans wind; all
about thet sparring partners and the
gossip about the training quarters.
! But what would he say about a man
who seldom trains for a fight and yet
is regarded as one of the very best
middleweights in the world?
His name is Jimmy Clabby, and his
home is in Hammond, Ind.
This Is a True Yarn.
Now don't scoff at this yarn because
II is strictly true. When Jimmy gets
ION an important battle he goes into
what he calls training. If the ordinary
fighter took a course of that sort of
training he would be laughed out Of
town. Jimmy really thinks he is train
ing, but he knows down in his heart
that he is merely preparing" He

Naturally you will ask, how does
Jimmy get away with it? Well, the
only answer to that is that he is one
OF the worlds actual natural boxers
Just walking around the streets with
nothing on his mind, Jimmy can step
into a gymnasium and put up as good
a fight as he could make If he spent
two weeks in that gymnasium prepar.
ing for q battle. Jimmy's just one of
those happy, carefree young men who
never takes on an ounce of weight
and is always ready for anything that
may turn up. At different times he
has been induced to box so many
rounds a day before a contest, but it
always seems utterly superfluous to
James. He doesn't need it.
As for road work, Jimmy would look
at you irf> unfeigned amazement if You
suggested it to him And he isn't bit
particular about his diet, either. He
eats lots and lots of ice cream and is
a pie fiend Upsetting all ring tradi.
tions, he has been known 10 dispose Of
large cut of pie and several plates
of cream an hour before entering the
ring. Yet there are but three defects
IN his record and none OF them is di.
rectly traceable to his unusual train
ing methods.

ing that boys ideas. James does not
take his profession with the slightest
bit of seriousness, and as he is pa
years cid, he is not apt to SHIFT much.
II will always be one huge joke, with
Jimmy
One would think that careless
young man like Clabby would lose all
of his friends by his lax methods.
Nothing of the sort. Jimmy has such
an engaging personality that he mum.
bers his pals by the hundreds wher.
ever he goes and never lacks for the
finest kind of backing in all of his
contests. Just recently he got tho
highest offer ever made for a middle
weight to go to Australia for few re.

heard from after a silence Of many
months. He is now in California and
is trying to force DR.. b. F. Roller. the

him.
A Ieud extending back for four
years and growing in bitterness with
every passing week has made Carroll
and Roller deadly enemies. Roller Is
we'll known here from a visit he made
some six years ago. Carroll came
here after serving a term in Leaven-

sent for connection with the Big

fixed" horse races and framed"
fights and wrestling matches to trim

kept strictly out of wrestling. except
enough for exercise and training.
Those who knew him here declare
that he is absolutely on the square
with his friends and never tried to
beat anyone who wasn't also trying
to beat him or someone else.
There is a possibility that Carroll
will return to Honolulu in case he
secures a match with Roller, for he
intends to take two or three months
to get into condition and likes this
city and the climate here. 49,
