Paced by 20-year-old Ann Cur tis, the San Franciscans amassed Jim Jeff eries Observes Ills 71st Birthday BrED WEBKMAN United Press Sports writer BURBANK, Calif., April 15 (U.R) Hulking Jim Jeff eries is cele brating his 71st birthday today because he battled for life as determindedly as he did in 1899 to win the world's heavyweight boxing championship from Bob Fitzsimmons. Big Jim suffered a stroke Feb. 21 that paralyzed his left side. Despite his age, he gamely fought back soon regained his voice and slowly he is making use again of his left leg and left arm. For the first time since his ill ness he walked to his car last Saturday for a ride. In the three weeks he has been back home since leaving the hospital, Jef- feries has been cheerful, hope ful and optimistic about his pre sent combat battle. Greeting Pour In But most of today he sat In his wheel chair, meeting a few friends, and reading the thousands of birthday greetings that poured in by mail and telegraph. "They are coming from ail over the world," Jim beamed. "It's nice to be remembered this, way." His birthday was quiet com pared to the party that Holly wood celebreties usually gave for him in the Jefferies barn. The old champ transformed the barn, which held hay for his herd of blooded cattle on his farm here, into an arena where amateur boxing box-ing matches are put on each Thursday night. It was in 1904 that Jeffries re tired from the ring after holding the title six years. But through the years, he has kept his in terest in fighting, and helped many on their way up. But the old battler doesn't have too much regard for the present day crop of fighters; "They don't train for a fight. he snorted.. "They don't keep in condition. There isn't the road work like I used to do. I trained hard and was in good condition to fight Fitzsimmons and Jim Corbett." The fighter who will be in better condition will win the Joe Louis-Billy Conn fight in New York June 19, Jefferies thinks. "I give champion Louis a slight edge. He can hit a little harder, and box a little better," Jeffries said. "But if Conn can keep away from him, maybe Conn will out point Louis." 52 points for the team title, edg ing out a strong Multnomah Ath letic club team from Portland Ore. Sensation of the three-day meet was the Portland s teams peri formance in setting a new world record of 4:06.5 for the 400-yard free style relay. The previous mark, established by a Danish team in 1937, was 4:08.1. ' ' " ' ' PAGE 2 ntOVO, UTAH COUNT. UTAH MONDAY. APRIL. 18.

Hayworth Jumps To Mexican Loop MEXICO CITY, April 15 (U.R) Catcher Myron Hayworth of the St. Louis Browns, angry over his demotion to a minor league farm club, the Toledo Mudhens, moved instead today to the Mexican lea gue for a three year contract at $12,500 a year. . Hayworth was assigned to the Torreon club, which Mickey Owen, who jumped from the Brooklyn Dodgers, had been signed sign-ed to handle as catcher-manager. However, when Owen went back to Mexico after returning briefly to the United States to discuss his status with the Dodgers, Dodg-ers, he was assigned to the Vera Cruz club. Meanwhile, the Pasquel brothers, broth-ers, who operate the Mexican league were reported to be dick ering with van Lingle Mungo, veteran New York Giant pitcher, who was suspended indefinitely last week for breaking training rules.

In the cold, dark night, as the big silver cigar called a Lockheed Constellation pulled into the field, the lads found themselves outside the fence. So it was up and over. First off the plane was a smart- looking brunette and a reporter remarked: "Hubba hubba." To which she replied: "Thank you. Of the SO passengers aboard, Woodcock made the last exit, even if he was the first European champion to make a trans-oceanic flight. "You can't touch him until he gets through the customs," a guard warned. "Let Mauriello do that," piped up an observer, referring to Bruce's American debut at American Ameri-can Square Garden May 13 against Taml Muariello. At that, there was quite a crowd on hand.
