perfectly perfect perfect- ly lv respectable hour of 10 tO a. a ra nt He skipped rope ropo and shadow boxed to tho the timo time of many tunes which he ho whistled instead of panting pantin for air air in inthis this hl high h altitude and tho punching bag baJt tatted rat lilt JUt of or Mendelssohn Mendelssohn's s Son Siring Song I- I or another thing thins he evidenced a 8 remarkable good temper and cheerful cheerful- ne ness He has bas passed through h tho the strain and dra drag of his long and rifle training and with that far tar behind be be- hind lind him perforce yi yields to tho the good spirits that are arc the emanation of per per- feet well ell being All through his cou con plo of hours of hard hanl work today ho hoins was ns frisky in a huge hugo WB way mu full of Joshes and ana bubbling with grim glint t laugh laugh- ter er Ono One does doe not imagine him laugh laugh- ins ing ng heartily over ever It is his hiM nature natura and his lis makeup to hint of grimness oven when ho is jovial jo to tho the top of his bis bent For or after tho the bo ho stripped and showed the wonderfully built man ho is front from the ground round up His lia le legs g V were re like liko columns not columns not gnarled and nobby columns out clean clean- welling swelling columns soft lined and in keeping with the soft lined strength of tho rest of him There is little doubt that in tho the history his his- tor tory ory of ot the tho ring there thore was ever a heavy eavy weight so well and symmetrically proportioned His thighs are so mighty that they remind ono one inevitably inevitably I obI ably of the legendary Teutonic warrior who by tho the grip of his thighs made mado his bis war horse groan roan beneath him Wm It would have to be an armor plated tee teel trussed horse that Jeffries could coula not make groan Lean LeRn bellied as a Greek athlete tho the muscles of his torso b begin gin their song long deep loop swell outward and ana upward from the he waist His back baek muscles play in matted n masses aBs s. s while those of his shoulders and biceps leap p into a twisted roll oil at the s1 slightest uplift of the arms And AnI they arc all tho the right kind of muscle They are aro not knotted like those hose of tho the professional strong men md and weight ht lifters They do not bind him lira and hold him by their inflexibility and nd weight ht And this is something that the un tin initiated do o not understand Whilo While those hoso that knew looked on and gloried in in n Jeff Jeffs Jeff's a condition someone remarked naively that they were surprised at hi his softness and at the sheath of fat that hat encased him Fat There Thero is not any fat on him His soft mounds and rid ridges es and rolls roUs aro are the finest grade and quality of muscle a man can pos pOSe sess One mi might ht as well call caU a n cat fat because when it is relaxed its become all aU velvet velvety softness That hat may best describe Jeffs Jeff's muscle condition at the pres present nt nl moment a a a velvety softness splendid and superb Take Tako one of those soft pads pals of Jeff and watch fatch it ft Suddenly it leaps and quivers qui and it its bulk is alive aUve with swift and excessive ener energy then relaxes and sinks anks back and down into tho soft pad that hat l it was Now that is it t is the tho real thin thing And let Jet it t bo be said that hat Jeff ri right ht now is fit and ready to tog too top g o p into tho the ring The best beet thin thing for him nm flint to do from now till tin tho the fourth Yourth is iso to o go o fishing and take only moderate exercise Ho lie is is at concert pitch and ready eady for tho the Let summons her go gol gor The Tho floor on n which ho he skipped rope was very verv slippery and once ho lie went down lown But the tho quick play of ot these supple powerful muscles saved s-aved 11 him bim Ho lo is is a heavy man man and to fall on his knee cap meant serious injury You and r I and most all the tho rest of ot us under un un- un der the same circumstances would havo bavo re received the tho injury Not s so with Jeff Jeff- ries LIke the muscles ot of the he leg that slipped flexed into action taking tho weight ht of the falling bod body and Invin saving the tho knee That Jeffries is no mean jud judge o of d distance stance was walS shown when in the shadow boxing he made mado occasional passes masses at the tho noses and jaws of his training staff stalL They wore were sti stiff and snappy punches and hooks yet yetT the they pause paused I or whistled b by tho mirk mark wit with no more moro than half an inch to an inch incho to o spare 9 Out t a at Ricks it was a the tho same samo old Arthur Arthur Johnson who sparred fast and furious with three of his sparring partners in m rapid su I should not like to be be fa a partner in in Johnson s Johnsons 5 camp Kaufman was glad when Then his four tour rounds were ended and Cotton showed no signs of oC regret leret wh when n his turn was finished Both had bad been cuffed and pummeled to tho queens queen's taste both were short of wind and complaining of the altitude and both were Vero bleeding profusely from mouth and nose And Johnson unconcerned was wall taking on OD a a- third man and making him aim look serious as ho he wont went after him One thing is jJ certain barrin barring a lucky punch lunch punch which is an extremely unlikely happening tho the fight ht on Jul July is not going oin t to be bo a short shoTt one Johnson is 10 80 clever on the defense that it would tako take a Jon long time timo fo for Jeff to got et him biro while on oil the tho other hand Jeff is IS no slow ono one at defense himself and ho he hois hois is js such a that it would not Dot bein bein be bo boin in two punches nor fort forty that Johnson Johnson John John- son could get et him nim Wh Whoever o gets it it will hare havo to work for it and work hard But it was tho the same samo old Jack Johnson of four tour years and a half hatt ago RitO looking if not stronger better than thanIn thanin thanin I in his Sydney fight Ho He had hIs bis full fun barr bag of familiar tricks with Him the tho tho I old cleverness of defense the tho old letting let lot ting his opponent hit him hint repeatedly on bis his uD unguarded stomach tho the old dreaming and sudden awakening to fierce onslaught for three or four tour seconds sec see the old placing of his hand baud on his opponents opponent's biceps to stop a blow tho the old smiling into tho the camera while in a clinch and the tho old at tho or passing pasing of facetious remarks while at tho the same time timo cutTin cuffing his opponent or blocking and withstanding a violent assault Johnson seemed to tako take tho altitude well Beyond Boond profuse sweating under tho the hot sun un there was no evidence of exertion When Kaufman sparred with him the former devoted himself almost whon wholly to rapping rapping at Johnson Johnsons Johnson's ach aeh It ma
