BY “GRAVY.” JIM JEFFRIES, FORTY TODAY, QUALIFIED FOR PiiSIDENCY, Congratulations are due today to that distinguished, if somewhat ex- tinguished, American, James J. Jef- fries. The great man of Los Angeles, will be forty years old toda though it may never have occurred to Jeff, he has the makings of first rate presidential timber. In launching his candidacy for the exaltea job which will be decided at the poils by the sovereign voters of the United States next year, Jeff might announce him- °If as possessed of the following qualifications: 1—He is a male. 2—He is white. s of legal age. s a native-born citizen of the born in Ohio, where most presidents come from. 6—He is a clergyman’s son. 7—He was born in a log (-abin‘! That last is the clincher which makes Jeff loom up as a real presi- dontial possibility. Practically all men are males, a majority are white, millions of 'em are past the age re- quirement of thirty-five, wast numbers have been born in the United States and no small proportion of them in Ohio, "clergymen are notoriously ad- dicted to large families, but mighty ciation are Tom Watson and Plumpton, both of Hartford. “Parbing players will act men and the referee Wwill be iller. ofzNew Haven, who has Jutation of being one of the in the state. 6 ‘team will arrive in abolp ‘12:80° p. m. and will pple #imé to get prepared for .

And, for a man who wants to be chief execu- tive of the U. S. A. that sort of a house is the very best of all to be born in. It was a crude and tiny edifice of logs, on a farm mostly timber, in the rube-arbs of Carroll, O., where Jeff first saw the light o'day on April 15, 1875.. Alexis C. Jefferies, the great man’s papa, was a sturdy son of the soil descended from a race of brawny, daring pioneers. Farmer Alexis was proficient with the plough and the hoe and the axe, but at about the time of Jeff's birth he laid these aside and went out to preach the Jeff's father didn’t believe in houses of worship, and did his preaching in the open air. Jeff was about six years old when the Rev. Alexis found the Ohio neighborhood becoming: too civilized and well ‘settled to suit him, and gathering his family together, he set free, wooly west. They .didn’t travel in Pullmans, but cventually they reached their goal, which was the Arroyo Seco Canon, near ' Los ‘Angeles. Jeff occasionaliy sat in at school, but he was,educated principally at home, and when he had grown into a strapping lad he got a job in a Los Angeles factory as an ironworker. There he scrapped with the other ‘“hands” and gradually at- izined a local reputation. It was a long time, however, before Jeff could be convinced that he had the makings of . professional fighter. His ring career is usually given as bdéginning with his San Francisco battle with Dan Long of Denver in 1896. Nearly three years before that however, Jeff, then eighteen, fought the famous | negro, - Hank Griffin, and Jeffries | knocked out the clever veteran in the | fourteenth round. Hank had pub- licly expressed the opinion, before a crowd of sports in a Los Angeles saloon, that he could lick any hombre in the town, and Jeff was picked as thie proper person to reduce Griffin’s bump ‘of self-esteem. And Jeff did! Still Jeff didn’t have any 1dea of be- coming a professional fighter until he met Dan Long. He put tlie Denverite to sleep in the second round and the purse of a thousand bones looked so good to the young giant, who had then just attained his majority, that he de- cided to buy a stack of chips in a wards, far beyond that to be achieved as a boilermaker. TODAY IN PUGILISTIO ANNALS. 1795—John Jackson defreated Daniel Mendoza in nine rounds at Horn- | church, Eng. In this historic contest Mendoza, the Jewish “Star of the East,” at last met his master, and the first Hebrew champion went down to defeat in a battle lasting only ten and a vhalf minutes. Jackson, who was | popularly known as “Gentleman,” held the championship unchallenged for three years, and then retired in order to devote his entire time to his.box- ing school. He numbered among his pupils Lord Byron and a host of other English notables, and had a high social position. Jackson never en- tered the ring again after his easy triumph over the famous Jew. The HHebrews of London were almost uined by this bout, as they had gered immense sums on Mendoza. It was the most scientific battle ever fought up to that time, as Jackson was an expert in pugilistic art and Men- doza was scarcely less proficlient. The mill w. staged on the site at Horn- caurch famous for centuries as tho scene of an annual wrestling contest. 1871-—Jem Belcher, who at 19 be- came champion of England, born in 3ristol. 1875—James J.

New York, April 16.—Long, lean Rube Marquard, a good pitcher to-| day and a bad one tomorrow, maybe, promulgated & pitching masterpiece against Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds yesterday, which braught back to the eccentric southpaw all the admirers he lost when he nibbled at the Fed- eral league baif, jumped his con- tract, and vaulted back again. Mar- quard pitched a no.hit game, ' the Giants shutting the Dodgers out by a score of 2 to 0. It isn’t often that you'll see such an exhibition of the twirling art as Rube showed. He had such marvelous | control “that he could have spun the ball over if the home plate was a small as a postage stamp. His sinewy | left arm circled about his head like | a long lash, as he wound up, and shot tantalizing tangents before the eves of the surprised Brooklyn bats- men. Only thirty Dodgers faced Rubeg during the matinee. Only three men got to first base, two of these, Stengel and Zack Wheat, being passed. Cut- shaw, in the seventh inning, was safe at first, when Fletcher permitted a flirting bounder to jump out of his hands like a grasshopper. Wheat was at first at the time and went down to second, but he was marooned, there.

Boston, April 16.—Philadelphia de- feated Boston again, 7 to 1. Hits, | bunched in two innings, together with errors by the Braves’ infield, accounted for all the visitors’ runs. Mayer, the Philadelphia pitcher, was in fine form. Alternating flurries of rain, snow and hail swirled about the players during the game.

Washington, April 16.—Despite the fact that Walter Johnson toyed with the Yankees here vesterday, as per his usual custom, it did not take the New York boys very long to return the compliment to Clark Griffin. The Yankees won their first game yester- day for Bill Donovan and the new owners, the score being 3 to 1. Ray Fisher, the effective Vermont schoolmaster, had the honor of win- ning the first contest for the new Yanks. Ray was a bit shy on his con- trol, and he had Captain Huston spending some mighty uneasy mo- ments in the seventh, when Fisher walked three and uncorked a wild pitch, yet the Griffmen did not score. All told, Fisher walked eight of the Senators, but Washington: could do little after getting men on the bases. Ten Senators were stranded.
