LUMBAGO DOWNS JEFFRIES

Fighter Takes to His Bed—Result of Working In a Draught. Evansville, Ind., Dec. 17. —James J. Jeffries is in bed here with an aggravated case of lumbago. He could hardly walk from his train to a taxicab. Dr. B. F. Roller, one of his touring party, said that the case war an obstinate one. Jeffries’ illness is due to a three hours workout in a draught in a Cleveland theater. Frank Gotch is verging on pneumonia from the same cause.
