plans and specifications already
approved by the board.
The club is expected to fill it's
membership before the golf sea-
son gets under way.
The new club will give Manor
comfortable accommodations for
at least $50 persons, far more
than ever could be taken care of
in the old club that was a con-
verted farmhouse.
The locker room that was con-
structed adjacent to the SWIM
ming pool after the fire will be
used as a permanent swimming
pool locker after the new club
is completed. Several temporary

twice again and Jeff's handlers
tossed in the towel.
The champion fought in the
days of long battles and slim
purses, but more than half his
bouts were shortened by quick
knockouts of his opponents. He
often had to fight for purses of
$4,000, considered big in his day,
but in his last match against
Johnson he received Slit 900 for
his end of the purse and returned
to wealthy retirement. He lost
most of his earnings in the 1928
depression. but recouped some
what in real estate later.
During his ring days Jeffries
always was known as an easy
man to hit, but his opponents
found it difficult to land telling
blows Among his contributions
to the ring art was the crouch
which protected the jaw and
stomach. This position was sug-
gested to him in an early match
when he was almost knocked out
by a body blow. He also devel-
oped a peculiar blow with the
left hand swinging counter to
his opponents stomach.
FitzSimmonS experienced the
effect of this punch in their sec
ond meeting, when he was par
alyzed for several minutes after
being knocked out. When he
recovered he threw his gloves to
the crowd and said he never
would fight JeffrieS again.
JeffrieS' return to the ring re-
suited from an impaSSe among
the ranks of fighters which left
the title in dispute.
Following his retirement two
boxers were matched in a bout
advertised as for the heavy
weight championship, although
critics declared that neither
could have beaten JeffrieS.
Tommy Burns won the deci-
sion over Marvin Hart, who
claimed the championship. and
was challenged by Johnson. They
met in Australia.
The match was stopped after
the 14th round by the police
there, but when johnson re-
turned to the United States he
was acclaimed champion as a
result of his showing in the cur
tailed bout. Then Jeffries chal-
lenged and made his last stand.
JeffrieS was not demonstra-
tive but he did not conceal his
happiness at the popularity
which surrounded him as cham
pion. He carried this public ac-
claim with him when he retired,
but for an inexplicable reason
lost favor for a while after his
defeat by Johnson.
After his retirement, Jeffries
retained an active interest in
boxing and for years Jeffries'
Barn, just across the street from
his home, was a stronghold of
amateur fights.
But Big Jim didn't think much
Of present-day Scrappers. He

CIV continued to set the pace

rallying furiously.

Smithers, the Riders pulled to

surged back. Yates made foul

the victory for CIV.

Victory Over Saxon

lin Title Contention
BY the Assoeiassd Press

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 81
Unpredictable Del Flanagan
barged squarely into top welter-
weight contention today after a
split decision over Johnny Sax
ton around which a broad con-
troverSy still flowed.
Flanagan, sixth-ranked con-
tender, abandoned his fancy
footwork in the closing rounds
last night in favor of a free
swinging offensive which gained
the verdict over the 23-year-old
New Yorker, No. 3 among the
contenders.
Blinky Palermo. Saxton's
manager, charged the decision
was wrong and issued a chal-
lenge for q return bout on
neutral ground"
It appeared probable Palermo
would get his wish some time
in the future. Truman Gibson,
international Boxing Club Sec
rotary, said after the 10-round
bout that Flanagan definitely
figures now in the welterweight
picture.

Flanagan, Is, won. the fight
by tearing into Saxton in the
final four rounds after the ex-
preSsionleSS New Yorker seemed
to get stronger in the middle
rounds.
Under the Minnesota scoring
system awarding 10 points to a

it 97-95 for Flanagan and Judge

ton, 1892.
Saxton, reluctant to press the
fight early, lost the first round
by a wide margin. But then he
started mixing freely and pun
ished the st. Paul fighter with
a hard body attack. Flanagan
stood off his opponent with his
def left and right crosses
through the middle rounds but
appeared weary after six rounds.
However. Flanagan waded in
swinging and countered effec-
lively close in during the final
rounds to carry the fight.
Each fighter weighed 1889
pounds.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 81
The East's all-star squad was
jubilant today, while the Vests
was a little bit blue on the last
day of drills for their meeting
Saturday in the Shrine's annual
charity football game in which
the East is favored by 61a
points.
The varying moods were the
result largely of the outcome of
injuries to Johnny Lattner and
Sam Merely, both All-American
selections.
Lattner, who twisted a
shoulder in scrimmage Tuesday,
definitely has returned to form
and the East will be able to take
full advantage of the hard
running back from Notre Dame.
And hard running is the East's
stock in trade this year.
The West plans to rely largely
