The gate ipts were $5,000. Johnny was seconded by his brother Joc, who had to retire from the ring several years When it looked as though he was sure to become champion, as he had beaten White, Dundee, Cross, Welsh, the world's champion, and knocked out Benny Leonard and Owen Johnny Shugrue, who wi A Champion's Selection of Spar- ring Partners Is Best Indica- tion of His Condition for a Bout. rire HERE'S only one infall T to tell what condition a c pion is in when training fond hin title.

Corbett trained in private a-part of the.time.. When he began working with Jeffries a story was sent out ‘rém' camp to the effect that Corbett had knocked Jeffries out. It was ‘ast the other way. Jeffries flattened Corbett. But that would have been poor publicity, and it didn't leak out until years after the fight. At Reno Jim Jeffries had a couple of helpless old hasbeens to work with him, Jim Corbett was one; a thin, weak, slow relic of the brilliant boxer he used to be. Joe Choynsk! was the other—in better condition than Cor- hett, but no match for Jeffries. Bob Armstrong was a third, and fat, loud- puffing Sam Bergen cavorted around on occasion. Jeffries needed a couple of young, tough sparring partners. Sam Lang- ford wanted to help him train, and Joe Jeannette and Jim Stewart, husky and able, volunteered, but Jeffri was content with the ancients, Per- haps Jeffries thought he was right when he said he couldn't learn any smore boxing and that all he needed was hard roadwork to perfect his wind and stamin: But if hegh erous he woulda without having two or training campefights every ¢ Whom did Jaek Johnson hove to train him at Havana® In phe had Harry Wills, but he diiyy pe the gloves on with Wills once.

For several days Clarke Griffith and Clyde Milan have been pointing Mogridge for the opening shot at our boys.

In the eighth round he sent Britt to his knees with a right hand punen, at 1 P.

The hour of fdling in the station made the whole gang angry, and they have promised to get even with Business Manager Billy Shetsline before the season ends. Dazzy Vance or Burleigh Grimes would have pitched if there had been a game in Philadelphia yesterday, and the other would have pitched to-day. Now Robbie has two pitchers ready for the, word and does not know which to Bei against the Giants, but the odds favor Vance. Grimes has not pitched a game this spring, and the three days without work in Phile- delphia y have set him back. Vance lost a hard luck game to the Giants by 4 to 8 on the second day of the season, and showed he was as fit an a pitcher could be.
