	"'Jim' Jeffries, the California heavyweight pugilist, came to grief at the Lenox Athletic Club last night. He broke an arm in his bout with 'Bob' Armstrong, the colored pugilist, which prevented his meeting 'Steve' O'Donnell later in the evening. Jeffries had undertaken to meet both Armstrong and O'Donnell, each in a 10-round bout, and had contracted to knock them out within that time. Armstrong was to be his first victim, and O'Donnell his second. But Mr. Jeffries's plans went aglee. Armstrong, who at best is not more than a third-rate fighter, surprised the spectators, as well as Mr. Jeffries, by giving an exhibition which, while not first-class, was nevertheless sufficiently interesting to keep Jeffries guessing.

At the end of the stated tenth round Armstrong was far from being knocked out. The explanation for this may be in the fact that, at the conclusion of the bout, it was announced that Jeffries arm had been broken and that he would be unable to engage O'Donnell, as had been mentioned.
