Tf photographs don't lie, and the snapshots that are being sent rat from @eapion Jim Jeifries's training camp are supposed to be of the truthful variety, Jeff ie engaged in developing a During former sieges of training the big fellow has gone about his work with a eerful grin. Expeci«!ly when within range of the cameras he has worn M expression of good nature. | But this time it is all different. Jeffries, whether he {s boxing or! yunning over the hills, playing ball in the yard in front of his cottage or yanking out an unwilling trout from the stream, distorts his rugged visage with a scowl. It may be that the champion’s desire for a settlement of the old Butte “fighting face.” As oa er haps he is only practising a “fighting face” “out of the ring. if the iatter is the case Jeffries will be disappointed, (Whatever fighting qualities Munroe may lack, man that ever drew on a padded glove. “Kid MeCoy” was the originator of the > ‘ring affairs, The “Kids” sneer has become famous, and will go down in the history of the ring long after the corkscrew has been forgotten.
