The champion seemed indefatigable and yet when he concluded his task he felt fresh nd strong. The endurance the big fel- low D s is marvelous. He can tire three men and yet come up smiling and ready for more labor. He did enough stunts this morning and afternoon to make other pugilists who have trained for contests look like deuces. When Jeff is in the mood to work he goes at it with a will. Nothing will daunt him. If his sparring partners show a-desire to make things interesting he accommodates them. Frequertly ; are perfectly willing to let Jeff cut out the pace, because they cannot stand the going as he can. This seemed to be the case Tuesday. Brother Jack was willing to spar in a friendly fashion, but the champion wanted nothing of this kind of work. He sailed right in for his brother and never let up until he had Jack mending bellows at the end of the third round. During all this heavy fighting Bob Armstrong looked on with wide.open eyes. Bob likes to box, but he does not care to go a hot pace when out of condition. He therefore viewed the fray with anxlous eyes. Jeffries signaled Bob to take up where his brother left off, and in a moment the two big men were slamming each other in | & mapner that signified that something was doing. In a mix-up Bob shot his right across and caught the champion flush on the mouth. Jeff's lip was badly cut by the blow, but unmindful of it, he bored right in. He retaliated by glving Armstrong a short arm blow in the ribs that made Bob gasp for breath. Bob was 100 foxy a ring general to show he was in distress. He stepped back and began to feint until he recovered his breath. Then he went in again, but Jeff made him | retreat all over the gymnasium. At the such | end of the third round Armstrong was blowing and tired.

We haven't been trying to run up big scores in the preliminary games, but have been saving our energy for the big game. Captain Fisher followed, thanking the men for the excellent spirit shown on the field and the graduate coaches for their untiring efforts. He said: “Chances are about even, but we hope for victory.” Coach Fickert responded to the cheers of the crowd with a few brief remarks, BERKELEY, Nov. 6—To-night the California - team lined up for the last time with the second eleven. The play was ‘brisk and determined. The varsity ehsily forced the ball down the field for long gains. A feature of the practice was “Overall’'s punting.

CHAMPION JEFFRIES WRITES TO THE CALL OF HIS CONDITION AND HIS FUTURE PLANS O THE EDITOR OF THE CALL: The day of the championship boxing contest is drawing near, and I am glad of that fact. I am anxious for the fray and await the tap of the gong that will send-Ruhlin and my- self to our work. I feel much better than I did when I fought Sharkey or Corbett. I adopted this time has benefited me, and should it come to a long, bruising battle I will fight with the knowl- edge that I am in condition. This feeling will serve to make me believe, no matter how near beaten I may be, In Ruhlin I expect to meet a man who has great strength, courage and endurance. He will try, no doubt, to weaken me by constantly boring in, and I know I cannot afford to become However, nature has also been kind to me, and while he is engaged in this endeavor I have hopes of landing the I am satisfied Ruhlin has greatly improved since our last meeting. I can safely say I have also improved. I am in this business for the money that is in it, and, believing that Fitzsimmons would draw better than any- body else, I will make my word good and meet him in December. Should he decline the issue I will not be with- out a fight, however, as Sharkey has already signified his eagerness to meet me. I-hope, should he be my oppo- nent, that the question of supremacy may be settled for once and all. I realize that no man is invincible, and before I fall into the ranks of the has-beens I will demonstrate that the title of champion of the world rightfully belongs to Yours truly, Vs Harbin Springs, November 6, 1901, » B ing’s work for them. As for himself he regted a minute and then took up the skipping rope and danced, hopped, skip- ped and jumped until “Kid” Eagan be- came tired of counting. During all this hard work the big fellow breathed freely and gave every indication that his lungs were in first-class condi- tion. The champlon then took a seat his rowing machine. He swung his pon derous arms back and forth for nearly ten minutes. Jeffries then decided to punch the bag. For ten minutes longer he hammered the inflated sphere at a lively clip. His blows were powerful and rapid. He wound u his bag-punching by dealing the bag half- arm hooks. The blows sounded like heavy cannonading, and the few spectators who watched him expected to see the bag burst at any moment. As a final touch 40 his morning work Jeffries tossed the medicine ball. He had his brother Jack School aggregation of pigskin kickers, ,vesterday afternoon at the Sixteenth and Folsom street grounds. Both contests proved easy for the Lowell team. In the first game the Mission team was defeated by a score of 23 to 0 and in the second con- test the Polytechnic was snowed under to the tune of 16 to 0. There was an inter- mission of fifteen minutes between the two mes. Fm‘gv‘l the Lowell team Middleton, Vos- burgh, Keegan, Montgomery, 'wards and Falk were mainly instrumental in winning the two_victories. Again and again Vosburgh, Middleton and Mont- gomery were sent around the ends behird strong interference for extensive gains, The goal kicking by Middleton was one of the features of the game. The players lined up for the first game as follows: Positions. Left-Tackle-Right Left-End-Right Montgomery and Vosburgh. Right-Half-Left . Middleton........ Left-Half-Right. Graham.......... Fullback .. Falk and Tyler.. Quarter .. as a partner, and that husky youth was compelled to call a halt after he had caught the heavy ball for fifteen minutes. After luncheon the big fellow amused himself playing croquet with the guests of the hotel. Like everything. else Jim attempts, he tried hard to svin, but had to_be satisfied with second place. Late in the afternoon he felt like doing more work. He donned his heavy clothes and took a jog to Middletown, four miles from Harbin Springs.. On the _return journey he spurted all the way. He was paced by “Kid” Eagan, who drove a cart. Jim did not stop until he was at his jour- ney’s end. As the going was all up hill his run was a remarkable one, and only proves that he is a wonderful man for en- durance, Still he was not satisfied with his day’s toll. He found a_bag of sand weighing nearly 200 pounds suspended from the rafters of his training quarters. and for fifteen minutes swung it to and In the second game the positions of the players were as follows: Positions.

His retinue of trainers will go with him to the Reliance Club, Oakland, where he will do light work until the day before the fight. To-night Jeffries will enjoy his last coon hunt before he leaves for Oakland. The McKinley brothers, who live in this vicinity, have invited the champlon to ac- company them on the expedition. All the dogs in camp will be used to scare up a coon or some other animal. The hunt should prove very exciting. I B e W&WWWWWH%. curred last week. They have made a de- mand on the Wong family, on whose shoulders they lay the blame for the crime, to surrender the assassin in order that he may be tried for murder. The surrender must be made before 6 o’clock Thursday evening or before midnight twelve of the most prominent merchants in the Wong family will be slain to avenge the murder of the lookout. The Chin family have decided to allow the courts to try the case, and they have stipulated that the Wong family shall turn over the murderer to Detectives Gib- son and McMann. In case the assassin 1s not surrendered a price of $500 will be put on the heads of twelve of the Wong fam- 1ly’s leading members. > —_——— Car and Buggy Collide. J. J. Beaton, superintendent of the San Francisco Drydock Company, and Samue| Smith, a 'workman, were thrown out of a buggy at the crossing of Shotwell ana Sixteenth streets yesterday afternoon by a car of the Sixteenth street line. The buggy was demolished and the two men were injured. Beaton received a scalp wound and Smith had a rib broken. Both men were taken to the railroad hospitai for treatment. The car was in charge of Motorman Swan and Conductor Hansen. — Akron Giant and His Friends Talk Confidently of the Big Fellow’s Chance of Victory Give ths Facts and Figures on Which They Base Their Claims on Championship UHLIN is so confident he will defeat Jeffries that his manager, Billy Madden, has already made arrangements for him to appear in the leading role of a drama written for him by Playwright Martin J. Dickson. Should he prove the victor Ruh- lin will commence his theatrical tour dur- ing New Year week in Louisiana. While all this depends solely upon whether or not Ruhlin wins it is indicative of the spirit of confidence which pervades the Rublin camp. Billy Madden, and in fact everybody in the Ruhlin camp, seem to have an honest conviction that their man will wrest the championship from the big boilermaker. Ask any of Ruhlin's inti- mate followers how they figure this out and they say, “Oh, from his first fight with the big fellow and the manner in which he put the saflor away after Shar- key made Jeff press his limit to get the decision.” There are many followers of the ring who claim_Sharkey was “all in” when he fought Ruhlin about & year ago. Jeff made him a particularly easy mark for anybody to’whip, they say, but a peep at Sharkey’s record discloses the fact that he displayed more ability in the knock- out line after his fast fight with Jeff than at any previous time during his career as a star heavyweight. He pol- ished off Tim McCormick in two rounds, put Jim Jeffords away in two rounds, sent Joe Choynski into the land of nod in two rounds and sent Yank Kennedy after the loser’s end of the purse in one round. “Now,” say Ruhlin’s followers, “if Shar- key was all caved in about the ribs and otherwise foundered after his' fight with Jeftries how is it he showed such good form in his subsequent battles? Sharkey was not a man who had a penchant for knocking his men out and if he was in- jured in any way in his fight with Jeffries he weuld have certainly showed it in his battles jmmedlately after.” The kefnel of the whole argument is that Sharkey was as good a man the night he lost to Ruhlin as he was the night he lost to Jeffries and that Ruhlin in knocking Sharkey out in fifteen rounds did what Jeffries or no other living man up to that time succeeded in deing -in twenty-five or any other number of rounds. Ruhlin and his adherents speak confl- dently of victory, and it is not because they think Jeff is a dub or does not know how to fight. Ruhlin worked hard yesterday from morning until night. After a hearty breakfast, he_took his usual run to the Sterra Point House and back. Gus was Tom Herman, _the tam weight, and by Denver Ed Martin, Both fighters took turns at pacing Ruhlin and they brought him back to Blanken's in an hour and a half, exceptionally good time for the distance. Ruhlin’s wingd s in remarkably good shape. In a few days he will cut out the long road work and confine himself to 100-yard sprints as pipe openers. Billy Madden received a lettor yesterday from E. W, Dickinson, manager of the Olympic Club, Grand Rapids, Mich. stating the writer and a party would leave there to-day for this city to witness the big fight. e Bowlers Will Form a League. A meeting of men interested in bowling was held last night and a temporary or- ization effected under the direction of S:::uel Karpf, secretary of the American Bowling Congress. Peter Weiniger was elected temporary chairman and F. S, Smith, secretary. A meeting will be held in_American Hall, Al- to-morrow night cazar building, to effect a permanent or- ganization. 3 | Fiying Fox va.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are kncwn by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other isons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To hflye a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per- manently the ugly-blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Eternal vigilance is the price of a beautiful complexion when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe, 2704 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., says: *My daughter was aflicted for years with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene- fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with- out result, until we decided to try S.
