Some Incidents of a Fighter's Life. We were all kept pretty busy after that Corbett fight. The next Sunday, I remember, 1 refereed a baseball game at the West New York Field club grounds at Weehawken, and there was a crowd that packed the place. After the game, I started out with some of my friends and in the rush wo were nearly squeezed flat. Getting back to our carriage was an awful job, but we managed it after a while and drove down the street ns fast as we could to get away. That night I went with the boys to the New York theater to see a show. I sat in the back of the box, as much out of sight as I could, and pulled the curtains in front of me. B. t for all that, people kept yelling for a speech until the show was over. I didn’t do any fighting for over a year after beating Corbett. Brady had mo in the show business. After the Sharkey fight Tom and 1 sparred every night for a week at Koster & Bial’s old place, torn down now. We were arrested the first night for violat in'; some sort of an anti-boxing law. Manny Friend was our lawyer. I re member that Billy Brady got impatient over the legal way of handling the ease down there in the Jefferson Market court. He jumped up, pushed Manny aside, and made a red-hot speech, telling all about our boxing show. When he was all through the judge asked: “Are you counsel in this case!” “I am not,’’ said Brady. “I’m no lawyer. I’m just telling you facts.” • “Well,” said the judge, “if you aren’t a lawyer you ought to be. Case dismissed. ’ ’ There wasn't any more trouble this time. I played a part in “The Man From the West,” a big show that Brady fixed up for me. When I boxed at any theater it was generally with my brother Jaek, and we weren't both ered. About three months after the Cor bett fight, John L. Sullivan had a big benefit at Madison Square Garden and I boxed with him. Three half-minute rounds were enough. John had put on fat after quitting the game. I just let him punch at me and ducked un der his wings until he was winded. Sullivan made a speech. I didn’t. Fitzsimmons boxed an exhibition with Thorne that night. Sharkey sparred, too. I told Tom abont meet ing his father at Queenstown when I went to Europe, and how he saw me off at the pier. “Good luck to yez,” he said, “and may yez li?k all the fighters in the world except me bye Tom.” “You haven’t licked me yet,” said Tom, grinning. “I ain’t licked until, I’ knocked out cold.” When winter came along I had a little experience that came near putting ne out of the game. Bob Fitzsimmons came around to one of the theaters one night to shake hands and have a talk. Bob sat in a box until the show was over and then came behind the scenes. I stood there in my tights, without even putting on a sweater, and I was wet and hot after the boxing. It was Satur day night and the show was just about to move. 7. nen opened the big back dors to take me scenery out while Bob and I stood there talking. The cold wind blew on me and I felt chilled be fore Bob left and I went to my dress ing room. After he had gone I dressed and went out with Joe Maxwell,-the singer. We went to the Mount Morris baths. The place was packed and there wasn’t even a cot left. It looked as if we’d have to go alon<» when Joe went to the tele phone.* He tock the receiver off and held the hook down with his hand. Af ter calling for a number he pretended that the party at the other end couldn’t hear. Tic yelled louder and louder. The fellows on the cots began turning over and growling. Some of them sat । up and made remarks to Joe. Then three or four hopped out, dressed and went away. That left room for us and we registered and went down for a Turkish bath. About this time I got a chill. I felt so sick that I dressed again and we started for the hotel. While walking I over I got worse, and changed my ' mind and went to Hollander’s baths • instead. There two doctors and three | rubbers worked over me all night. _ In I the morning I didn’t feel much better, ' but thought I’d go to the hotel and get ' a good sleep. First Maxwell and I | went to breakfast. I ordered a lot of lamb chops, but when they came in I could eat only one, and that was a lit tle one. That settled it Maxwell in sisted that there must be something | seriously wrong with me and .made me 1 got to " see his doctor. The doctor or dered me to bed.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE and, remembering how near pneumo nia came to killing me in San Fran cisco, I hustled to lay room in the Hotel Minot and stayed there several days until I was all right again. Nine months after the Corbett fight 1 was to have met Ruhlin for twenty rounds in Saengerbund hall in Cincin nati, Ohio. Billy Delaney took charge of my training again and we opened a eamp and started hard work. Every thing was going along fine and the whole country was interested in the match, when it went wrong. The mayor of Cincinnati was in favor of the fight and had given assurance that there'd be no interference. But the governor ordered it stopped. An injunction was issued and the matter went to court. Billy Brady was the principal witness. He told the judge how Mr. Roosevelt, who had just been elected vice presi dent, went to the big fights in New York, and how he had reserved boxes for him. That was a fact. Mr. Roose velt likes a good fight better than any thing else. But all that didn’t make an- difference. The fight was called off. We were all sore. It would have been a good scrap, and as there was a big convention going on we would have drawn a great crowd. I promised Ruh lin to give him his chance later, and then we left Ohio and went west. I was sprry to have that fight stopped. I wanted to figh 1 in Ohio be cause there were a lot of relatives in the state. My great grandfather set tled in Ohio and built his log cabin there. My grandfather had his log cab in. where my father was born, and the log cabin I was born in myself still stands. I felt as . I’d like to show the friends of the Jeffries family that the good old Jeffries stock hadn't petered out. I guess the old original Ohio pioneer Jeffries’ eyes would have popp ed out if he had known that his great great grandson would be a world's champion and earn as much in an hour's fighting as he could earn, perhaps, in a whole lifetime of farming.

Cal., April 29.—Most of Jim Jeffries* future training bouts will be conducted behind closed doors, ac cording to the report now in circula tion here. And judging from the re mark dropped by Manager Sam Berger yesterday, there i severy reason to be lieve that Jeffries desires to exclude all spectators from the gymnasium while he is boxing. Berger says that Jeffries has often complained of the distracting influence exerted by out siders and their gratuitous advice and comment anuov him greatly. This is done, it is to develop new fight ing tactics, wuich both Jeffries and his trainers are anxious to keep under cov- HOTELS REFUSE TO ACCOMMODATE JOHNSON Special Dispatch.

Special Diepatch. Cincinnati, April 29.—John Kling, the former star catcher of the Chicago National league club, who came under the ban of the National commission for his failure to report to the Cubs last year, is again eligible to play in the National league, the rational com mission announcing this morning that the check for $7OO, the amount of the fine, had been received a' the head quarters in this city. Kling is at present appearing at a Chicago theater with “Cap” Anson and will join the Cubs tomorrow. He will be iu shape to jump into the game and take his regular turn behind the ' bat in a few days, as he has been train i ing ail spring and is in fine condi tion. ■ With Kling behind the bat the Cubs । are greatly strengthened and will now • be able to give all of the teams in the । National a fight for the flag. Reul bach, who has just recovered from an I attack of uptheria, has rejoined his teainmates and will be able to go in the box for his regular turn in a cou ple of weeks. Thus the Cubs will once again have their full playing strength | and Pittsburg and the other pennant ' aspirants will have to play faster ball I than last season to land the bunting. SOUTHERN*LEAGUE.
