Jim Jeffries Leaves Ring for California Farming
Jim Jeffries, once the greatest fighting white man, now toils as a dairy farmer on a 1065 acre Los Angeles area estate in Burbank. He milks 120 cows by electricity, spends heavily on improvements, and plans further expansion while his prize cows rub noses with him in a spotless dairy stall. He hunts in off moments and neglects boxing, preferring Holsteins, corn, and alfalfa.

Runger May Manage Muskies
A plan to retain Jeasa Runser as playing manager of the Muskies was proposed by a Musky director. With Runser, Kinssy, Hruska, Kennedy, Reinhart, Martini, Durham, Sheldon, and Runser in the lineup, the Muskies would need to add few new players for 1917. Egan of Waterloo and Frank Boyle of Marshalltown would face strong opposition if Runser leads the team against them.
