The last time Jeffiles visited Uus city ive was touring the coiaitry aa the star In the old Western drama, Davy Crockett. This theatrical life males me tired. said the husky boilermaker to several friends.

Im going to quit It as soon as my contract is up and go back on Lhe farm. Let Corbett and the other fellows have the footlights, but no more of It for bi. I dont like the life, lta not natural! Give me a gun and a couple of good dogs out In the mountains -of Call-formal Then Im living! But, Jink interposed one of his friends, "you are getting the money and you're a good drawing card. Make hay while the sun shines, my boy! No, not for me, old chap, was the quick response. I would rather go out and work on a farm in the West for a small salary than be an actor with big money and no sunshine, no good open air and no sport with the dogs.

This business Im in now isail a fake I Im going to get out! And Jeffries made good his word, for as soon as his theatrical contract expired he left the stage, and nobody has ever been able to coax him back since. Jeffries was always a lover of the open country. The white lights of big metropolis never had attractions for him. He preferred a seat under the old apple tree, where he could talk dogs and hunting with several cronies. That is why the big fellow has settled down to live quietly and keep away from the prize ring In which he became famous and earned a fortune.

John L. Sullivan is just the reverse. He likes the bright lights, the excitement, the admiration bestowed upon him by big crowds while the band plays See, the Conquering Hero Coratsl" Ever since Sullivan left his parents modest home in South Boston more than twenty-five years ago he has always lived In hotels where he has been in close touch with the world, lin has never been domestic in his mode of liviug, although just now he says he is planning to end his days on some well stocked farm up in New England. Shortly after Sullivan defeated Jake tKHram lie was stopping at the old Stevens House on lower Broadway. He had a room which afforded an excellent view of the Battery, but Jonn L.

seldom cared to sleep there, for his old friend Jack Cusack kept a place a few doors below, where Sullivan remained until everybody else had gone to bed about daylight. Then he took Cusacks bulldog Paddy, and to- -ether they turned in on one of the bil-iard tables In the rear of the saloon. As Sullivan was afraid of rats he never could sleep at Cusacks without the bulldog. As soon as tlie Turkish bath across the street i opened up for business Sullivan was the first customer. There it was that he used 1 to slet p.

Then at 4 oclock In the afternoon John L. usually reappeared in the saloon. For two years Sullivan lived in this way without a letup, yet he always looked to be in splendid health. For twenty years. In fact, he led a life that would have put the average man in his grave in a quarter 1 of that time.

But Sullivan is a dif- i ferent man. He still enjoys hotel life, but he has cut out all intoxicants. He owns a sumptuous honj in Boston, which is In his sisters name, but he does not spend more than two weeks in each year under I its roof. He Is constantly on the road with a theatrical company andis trying to recover the fortune be qpandered. Thus far he has saved about James J.

Corbett Is also fond of the glitter of the footlights. His ambition is to become a great actor one of these fine days, whtt he will be able to take rank with Booth, Barrett, Irving, McCullougR and other famous men of the stage now dead and gone. But Corbett, in spite of the flattery he receives from in front of the footlights, does not forget his home. He owns a handsome villa at Bay-side. E.

where he spends the summer with his wife and enjoys himself in a quiet, unostentatious manner. Anybody roaming through New Jerseys backwoods who comes across a long, lean, baldheaded man covered with big red freckles, washing dishes, cleaning house or chopping wood, can address him as Bob Fitzsimmons. The old Oornishman. once the undisputed champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, recently left the stage for the simples domestic life on a farm. Fitzsimmons has been married three times, so that he knows something about home life.

His first wife divorced him and married Martin Julian, one of his former managers. His second wife was Julians slater. Rose who died suddenly at Bath Beach. His present wife was Julia May Gifford, a little soubrette, whom he married about three ears ago. Bob and Julia went on the road in A Fight for Love, and according to the freckled fighter they came near walking home.

So they decide. 1 to settle down to housekeeping. Fitz himself in a pretty fair cook. He prides himself on such dishes as roast beef and Yorkshire nodding, pigs head and cabbage, boiled leg of mutton with caper sauce, fried chicken and Welsh rabbit. Jim Mace, the oldest living ex-champion pugilist of the world, is a very domestic man.

In April hvwill be 78 years old and has numerous children to look after. He has always led a simple and clean life. He has a son by his hrst wife who is a traveling preacher. Mace tells with a twinkle in his eye how his son was preaching the Gospel on one floor of a building at Brighton, England, while he was giving a boxing show overhead. Mace is a firm believer in horn food and comforts.

He Is still showing about the English music halls in a boxing sketch. Jack McAuliffe Is nzfturally a domestic fellow. For years he has kept his aged mother In a com fof table home at Bath Beach, where he has also helped to raise a younger sister and otherrelatives. Jack would rather eat one of his mothers old fashioned meals than a swell dinner at Delmomcos. and McAuliffe, mind you, is an expensive feeder, having dihed at the best restaurants In this couETry and in Europe and being able to order like a king when tne bank roll Is good and fat.

Charley Mitchell, the noted English, boxer, has a fine home at St. Johns Wood, London, where he entertains In royal style some of the nobility, for Charley is a high flyer and has always tried to get in with the best people. Lord Cecil is Ids special pal, while some of the sweJlest noblemen enjoy going to the races with the former British champion. Tom Sharkey has a house at Sheepshead Bay. He believes in sticking close to the fireside when not engaged in handling affairs in his Fourteenth street diink emporium.

Sharkey never thinks of lighting nowadays, but he is still a physical marvel. He is a churchgoer and a quiet liver. Kid McCoy, or rather Norman Selby, Is trying to break into society. He recently purchased a residence at Orange N. and when the people of that select neighborhood found that they were going to have a former piize figfiter among tnem they got together and offered McCoy $5000 more than he paid for the house.

Lid the Kid accept? Ho did, and Is now looking for some other select locality where he may locate. McCoy cannot be ratted a quiet liver, if one takes into consideration the niunber of his matrimonial ventures. His first wife was a little milliner from Indiana. McCoy soon induced her to get a divorce from him so that he could marry an actress. The latter also divorced him, but maimed him again soon after the decree was granted.

There was still another split, followed by a second divorce. After that McCoy married a wealthy young widow and has been in clover ever since. There never was a man who respected his home and loved Ills wife and cluldien more than Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil. They weie all the world to him, and snen he won a purse by dint of hard fighting in the ring nearly all his winnings wont to his home at Cortland, where he died a lingering death, a victim of consumption. This game fellow is buried near his old homeslead without a stone to mark his grave.

In his prim he was one of the most popular fighters this country has aver known. Ed Bi ice, who died about a year ago, was a striking example of a domestic pugilist. Price In his young days was a to-pnotener in the la-avy-w eight division and took part In many- bare knuckle encounters on the turf. He as a self-made man. He studied hard and became a noted lawyer, playwright and linguist.

He owned a valuable city residence lieie and also a large estate near President Roosevelts summer home at Oyster Bay, Home life and an extensive library were fads with him. He was worth about $250,000 when he died. Philadelphia Jack OBrien owns a house In Quake, ville built alter his own design. He calls it The House That Jack Built." OBrttn also possesses much real estate and takes care of the members of his family in excellent style. When Matty Matthews is not riding the diving houses at the Hippodrome he can be found in a comfortauie Tttle home in Bouth Brooklyn, which he owns outright.

Matthewss lighting days were over some 't Uiliiiil uq oni Only One Blow Was Struck and the Irish Champion Went Down DUBLIN, March 17. Tommy Burna, the American heavyweight champion, made short work, of Jem Roche, the Irish champion, in their contest this evening, at the Theatre Royal, for the worlds heavyweight championship. lractically only one blow was struck. Burns knocking out Roche when hardly more than a minute of the first round had been completed by a short hook to the jaw. So quickly did the end come that the great crowd which filled the theatre in the expectation of seeing the Irishman put up a good fight for the title, hardly realized what had happened.

When the men entered the ring It was evident that the sluggish Roche was no match for the more experienced Burns. They spared for less than a minute, the Irishman acting altogether on the defensive and the American endeavoring to find an opening. Then Burns feinted and quickly put a short, Bharp right to the jaw ad Roche went down. He was badly dazed and although he struggled to regain his feet, was unable to do so before the fatal ten (was counted. Iimmediately after the count Roche got to his feet hut staggered about the stage.

When he had recovered himself he wen over smilingly to congratulate the winner. He had met a better man. The fight tonight was for a purse of 17 ,500, which was put up by a syndicate, of which Richard Croker, the former Tammany leader was a member, end a side bet of $2,500. In addition Burns had $7,000 on himself at odds of 3 to 1. The ringside betting was 7 to 2 on the American.

The blow which decided the fight was the only one of any consequence during the minute and 38 seconds the men were In the ring. The crowd which Bhortly before had cheered Roche to the echo and greeted him with airs "from were so taken back that after a few angry hisses they went quickly out of the theatre. Burns said of the fight, that it was the easiest he had ever had. He went In, he added, to snake it as short as possible, as he ha.1 tco much money at stake at long odds fto take any chance. He had expected, however, that the fight would go a few rounds, although he was never In doubt as to the final result.

Burns stated that he was wining to five Roche another chance if sufficient Inducements were forthcoming. He is now considering an offer provisionally made by the Dublin syndicate tor a match with Rill Squires under the same terms as that with Roche. The rcene in the theatre was a remarkable one. There were seats for three thousand and every cne was occupied. It was a most enthusiastic crowd and Roche received a great reception when he entered smiling and with confident air.

The orchestra rtruck up The Boy of Wexford, the spectators joining In the chorus. Burns who had been watching the preliminary bouts strolled casually to the ring to the air of The Star Spangled Banner. He also was well received, but the reception of the fighters was insignificant as compared with that given Richard Croker when the master of ceremonies announced that it largely through the efforts of the former Tammany leader that Roche was able to enter the contest. Mr. Croker who was In a box at the ringside had to acknowledge the tremendous cheering that greeted him.

Before the audience had quieted the two heavyweights came to the ring in their street clothes, and a quarter of an hour was occupied in making preparations for the fight. On the stroke of the gong. Burns Jumped to the center of the ring, which was an 18-foot affair, and started his usual tactics of trying to draw out his opponent- This teemed to annoy Roche, who angrily 6truek down Burns arm and then covered his face with his gloves to protect from a threatened blow. Burns, however, was looking for a better chanee and a moment later he feinted with bis left and shot his right over to the Jaw, which was entirely unprotected. The Irishman went to the canvas, but not heavily.

He slid along on his side and then rolled over, face downward. Very few of the spectators, even those on the stage were quick enough to see how it was done, and there were cries of fake. There was no doubt, however, that Roche went in to do his best, but he was out-classed nd altogether too slow, for a man of Burns quickness and ring craft. Roche said tonight, after he had got over somewhat the suddenness of his defeat, He did It too qifick, tbaj. all.

Burns, when questioned whether he would meet Roche or Squires again, replied: I will fight anyone. If there Is enough money in sight. HOME ROVING PRIZE FIGHTERS.

B. Jones of Fort Greble. It Is not stated what height the hurdles were nor how many hurdles were on the course, but it Is taken for granted that there were ten of them and that they were each 3 feet 6 inches high. The world's amateur record is 16 1-5 seconds by A. C.

17. Baseball practice began at the University on Tuesday when Coach. Fitzmaurice-arrived and called the men out for light work In the cage. The battery candidates have WILLIAM P. FITZMAURICE, Coach of U.

of M. Baseball Team. been out for some time and Lave been working under the direction of Capt. Mayo. There are nine catchers and eight pitchers.

The men who have reported are: Wood 08, Goodrich and Fulton, TO, Richardson, Smith, Southard, Houghton, King, Faulker and Benjamin, ll, for the position of catcher and for tha position of pitcher the men are Dow, 08, Libby-and Keyes TO, Ryan, McHale, Minot, Reed and Cooper ll. As the men were out for the purpose of warming up and doing no batting at all It is difficult to say anything about their prospects. Manager Pike has completed his schedule and it was officially approved Tuesday. The schedule is as follows: April 20, Colby at Waterviilef exhibition; pril 25, Open; April 27, Vermont at Burlington; April 28, Vermont at Burlington; April 29, Tufts at Medford; April 20, Harvard at Cambridge; May 1, Open; May 2, Phillips-Exeter Academy at Exeter; May 6, Bates at Lewiston; May 9, Bowdoin at Bruns-wik; May-13, Colby at Orono; May 20, Bowdoin at Orono; May 23, Bates at Orono; May 27, Colby at Waterville; May 29, Tufts at Orono; June 8, Alumni at Orono. The team will play 14 games.

Five will be plaved at home and nine away. The team will have the advantage of a long trip to get themselves In condition for tho state series. The team will play the first game on the trip the 25th of April, which at present is an open date. May 1 is also an open date on the trip and will be filled by some learn in the vicinity of Boston. The games in the state championship will begin on May 6 with Bates at Lewiston and the other games will follow along In regular order.

Main will play two games with Tufts; the rivalry between the two institutions should make them interesting exhibitions. On June 8, during Commencement Week the team will go up against a picked team from the Alumni. There should be enough old base ball men back to make a strong team. The alumni will be captained by Perley Palmer 9G, who was oaptaiu and catcher of one of the winning teams. The prospects for base ball at the University are not the brightest.

Fonie of the strongest men were lost by graduation and it will be necessary to develop both pitchers and catchers. There was some good material in the fall class games but whether it can be developed or not in time for this season is the question that faces the coach. The team will be somewhat handi-caped this season In having to play all of the games during the first part of the season in Bangor but it is thought that the field will be in condition for the last few games of the schedule. SPEEDY MEN IN THE ARMY 1 Published Records of Enlisted Men Put Our Amateur Champions in the Shade. By command of Major-Gen.

Grant the best athletic records for the different army posts have been made known and sent around for general information. The top notch marks in all the leading branches of track and field sport as well as military contests are included to tiie number of about hftv-six. It is presumed that the records are correct, as they- are issued from Headquarters Department of the 1 East, Governors Island, and the figures reveal the fact that the army has within its ranks some men-who would make the star athletes look like selling platers were they to meet. For Instance, the record for the jOO yard run is given as 914 seconds, by Sergt. Williams of Fort Greble in 19u6.

There is no mention of the conditions that prevailed when the Barge strode over the ten- I whether a Ivreeze blew with him or against him, only the bare figures are left for the guidance of Yne civilian. At any rate, there Is but one amateur sprinter in the outside world today who on form could give Sergt. Williams an argument. He is Dan Kelly, wtio holds the world's mark for the hundred, and he would have to be in his best fettle at that. The best record last year was 10 seconds by Corporal J.

P. Menard of Fort Warren and F. Wlnferk of Fort Washington. The record for 220 yards is 22 4-5 seconds and was made by Pi ivato R. E.

Matthews of Fort Monroe in 1906. The 4-10 yard record completely dwarfs anything to the credit of the amateurs, no matter where. It is 46 2-5 seconds, and the soldier down for the honor of having 1 sped the quarter last year at this re- markably fast clip is Private T. Holt of Fort H. G-.

Wright, On a straightway track at the old Guttenburg race track on October 4, 1900, Maxey Long of the New York A. C. ran. 440 yards in 47 sec- onda. and this Is now the fastest record, amateur or professional, In the world.

The fastest quarter of recent years Is 48 4-5 seconds by J. B. Taylor of the University of at last years intercollegiate meet. Acording to calculation Holt could give Taylor yards and a beating. Once in England the late E.

Myers came Inside 47 seconds, but th record was 1 time ago. but he knew enough to provide for a rainy day, and now enjoys life without a care. Billy Madden, once John L.s manager, has a residence in South, Brooklyn, where he lives quietly with his wife and son. Billy Myer, who fought McAuliffe for the lightweight championship In 1892, has a 1 splendid mansion in New Orleans. Jack Fallon, known Jn his fighting days as the I Brooklyn Strong Boy, is a policeman, and when off duty he lakes life easy at his home In Flatbush.

Jimmy- Britt is proud of his residence In San Francisco, while Eddie Currie is raising a big family up In The Bronx. roisiSEcinimD top Um cottgU and btalu longs.
