He skipped the rope a few minutes, did a little work at muscle mus-cle Umbering, nnd then put on the gloves with a fat man named McCor-rnnck. McCor-rnnck. The boxing was farcical and each round was limited to a third of the time of a full round, yet this comparatively com-paratively slight exertion caused the bollermaker to "blow," proving that his great weakness Is his "wind," which will count against him when he meets a man who is almost as strong, a clever boxer and has the "wind ' for endurance. In boxing Jeffries is quite clever, but he leaves repeated openings for uppercuts.
