MANYBAGKGORBETT
Much Short-End Money Re
mains Uncovered.
BOTH FIGHTERS ARE CONFIDENT
Training lias Ceaied, and the Tap of
tbe Gong Is Awaited Jeffries
Is la Perfect Condition, and
So Ib His Opponent.
SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 12. Special.)
"Willie the general opinion Is that Jeffries,
eTen In poor shape. Is too big and strong
for Corbett, there seems to be an unusual
supply of short-end money. This Is par
tially due to the fact that this is Cor
bett's home, hut his magnificent condi
tion has more to do with this state of
affairs. While little betting is being
done by the big people, a good deal of
' money has been placed In small amounts.
The prevailing price today was still 2
to 1, and-at the ringside this will prob
ably be' the ruling figure. Much Cor
bett money still remains uncovered.
Luke Kelly, the well-known bookmaker,
yesterday opened his bank roll, and
played 51000 to win $500.
T. C Lynch, of Los Angeles, dropped
Into town a few days ago. He reports
that Jeffries Is considered unbeatable In
the Southern city, and says It Is like
stealing coin to bet on him. "While I was
home," he continued. "I played J400
against $100 and I have more, money which
I will Invest before the battle at San
Francisco odds.
Lee Rose, tbe horseman, is another ad
mirer of Jeffries. He came from Ventura
yesterday and announced he played $1000
to 1400 and $500 to $250 on his chances to
win.
Corbett did his last real training yes
terday and is now ready for the battle.
His final work, which consisted of boxing
bouts with Tommy Ryan, he declares has
helped very much. Ryan gave him
pointers as to the best methods to draw
out Jeffries.
Corbett has no fear of being put out
by a blow at short range. In discussing
the coming mill he remarked that he will
exchange punches at close quarters and
will be able to get the best of such style
of warfare.
"J believe, after advising with Ryn,"
he continued, "that Jeffries is apt to be
come weak In the arms after he has gone
35 rounds.
"I will give you a point, though. On
Friday night I will not become foolish. I
shall keep my head and will punch that
big fellow until he will see fists In all
directions. I know I am faster and
cleverer than he an believe I shall be
able to stav the bout out."
Jeffries signalised his last day at the
Springs by shooting a 2-year-old buck.
This he considered an omen of good luck.
Last night he was in the gymnasium un
til 10 o'clock. His work consisted of
boxing ten rounds with his brother Jack
and Joe Kennedy, skipping the rope 1200
times and finishing wit ha clog dance,
when he had a rub-down and retired,
sleeping nine Bolld hours. When he
awoke he felt so well that he went on
the road. Tomorrow he will have a
"warm up" and on Friday he will rest
the entire day.
"I'd rather beat Jeffries than be the
Czar of Russia," said Corbett today,
when told that Billy Delaney said that
the Czar of Russia had not money enough
to make Jeffries lie down. Then Corbett
added:
"It's the sole ambition of my life to
regain the championship, and if It's In
my bones, then I am going to win. If I
lose, then It's not in me, that's all there
Is about it"
The advance sale of seats for the con
test indicates a $60,000 house.
An Important side Issue of the big fight
will be the contest between Harry Forbes
and Frank Nell for the bantam-weight
championship Thursday night. Both meri
claim they will enter the ring at lis
pounds. The betting is 6 to 10 in favor
of Forbes.
JEFFRIES ARRIVES IX OAICLAAD
Xever Looked Healthier, Stronger,
Better-Trained or Happier.
OAKLAND. Cal., Aug. 12. (Special.)
If at any time during his career in the
llstic arena James J. Jeffries looked
healthier, stronger, better-trained or hap
pier than he did tonight, when, ho swung
off the train at Sixteenth street, in Oak
land, it Is not In the memory of those who
knew him best. He Jumped from the train
platform rather than stepped off. fairly
danced a couple of steps, and was imme
diately surrounded by a throng of friends,
who came to welcome him.
Clear eyes and a deeply-bronzed skin
were the things that first attracted atten
tion, but the glance followed of necessity
to his magnificent physique, which was
set off by a light sack suit. There was no
sign of dissipation, and no Inkling that
he had not trained faithfully and with
judgment, for the battle trlday night
showed In either countenance or figure.
Jsffrles said he weighed only 215 pounds,
and showed the discrepancy, between his
walst-llne and the loose-fitting trousers in
proof of the statement that his corpulent
stomach had been relieved of much of Its
girth. The weight Is probably a "white
lie," and 225 pounds would more likely ap
proach the correct figure, but the moun
tain of flesh is composed of bone and hard
muscle, without a trace of adipose tissue.
Faster Than for Conple of Years.
"I cannot quite follow the Ideas of the
Btory-weavers who have me down as a
lazy hound," said the champion, with a
faint smile. "I did as many hours of
gymnasium work as ever before, but ran
shy on boxing and road work, as I was
convinced they pulled too much flesh from
my bones, and were not really necessary.
I was gaunt when ready for Fitxsimmons,
and I did not Intend to be gaunt this time.
People will see me faster than I have been
for a couple of years. I walked after Cor
bett at New York. This time I will be on
the run after him, if he attempts to get
away by footwork. You can't catch a
man with the same bait twice. After that
fight was over. I realized that I had
fought "him In exactly the way he would
have had me flght-ort of & made-to-order
proposition for his style of boxing.
I'll be there all right Friday night with
bells on. Don't let any one tell you that
I am not In shape. I am as good right
now as ever I was or ever hope to be."
Delaney Says He In Sare to Win.
Billy Delaney then chipped into the con
versation. "The big fellow Is certainly
tljere, and will win without much trouble,
or I miss my guess," said the mentor of
the Jeffries camp. "Look at him, and
then think of the wild tales about his con
dition. Pay- attention to his face, and
glance at nls shoulders and waist. He Is'
big where he ought to be big, and small
where flesh would do him no good. He
listened to reason on the score of not
training himself down to featherweight.
"I would like to have a kingdom to bet
on him. There would be no more work
for the old man. Tommy. Ryan may think
he has taught Corbett a lot of new-fangled
punches and put him wise to Jeffries
In every way, but he cannot dispute the
fact that Jeffries is as big and as strong
as a dray horse, nor take away any of
the champion's vitality and vigor.
. "I understand that very little betting
has been done on the fight, and you can
stake your little all that there would have
been a sight less If Jeffries had trained
witnln view of curious eyes. We will win,
and win so decisively that there will never
be another peep from James J. Corbett-.'
After the chat was finished, Delaney.
brother Jack and Joe Egan climbed Into
a waiting carriage and were driven to the
Mctropole Hotel. Jeffries sung out of the
window that he would be on dress parade
tomorrow at the Reliance club for a lit
tle exercise, which would probably consist
chiefly of shadow-boxing. Nothing of
a strenuous character will be done.
JEFFRIES TUB FAVORITE.
Champion Is ricked to Win by Ma
jority or Portland Experts.
Betting 10 to 6 on Jeffries by the ma
jority, with an earnest minority asserting
that Corbett's science and general clev
erness will enable him to do up his op
ponent after a dozen rounds shall have
been fought, may be taken as a fair esti
mate of the opinions of a number of men
around town interested in the Jeffrles
Corbett fight at San Francisco, tomorrow
night. The big fight Is all the talk In
saloons, cigar stores, clubs and other
places where men usually spend their
leisure. Other topics are excludJd, for the
time being.
This shows how the wind blows:
Tommy Tracer It 1b a fight between two of
our greatest heavy-weights, and it la difficult
to say exactly who will win. I am told that
Corbett Is In the very beet of condition, and at
first I think he will make the his fellow look
like a fanner. Corbett's cleverness may off
set Jeffries' strength. It's about a toss-up-
Martin- Denny It will be all over In about
12 rounds. With his strength and youth Jef
fries will be able to knock out the other fel
low. I don't see how Corbett. with all his
fancy boxing, will have a chance to win.
Julian Rose, the star performer at the Em
pire Theater Corbett Is a personal friend of
mine, and one month ago I played ball with
him at Alameda, Cal., and he was In the .very
best of condition then, although some people
said he might be too finely trained. Corbett
is one of our cleverest boxers, and I pick him
to win. At the same time, Jeffries Is a strong
man and a good fighter.
W. T. Pangle When I was In San Francisco
last week I saw Corbett playing as Charles,
the wrestler, in the outdoor performance in
Shakespeare's "As You Like It," and he ap
peared to be & powerfully built man. In the
very best of condition. His muscular develop
ment is wonderful. The Corbett people in Cali
fornia are keeping quiet, but they are con
fidently expecting their man to whip Jeffries.
That seemed to be the general opinion down
there.
William P. Swopc Jeffries will win. because
when be bits Corbett It will be all over with
htm. I don't think that Corbett has got a
punch In him.
The Dixie Kld-Corbett will win. I think
so because he is in perfect condition better
than he has ever been. His style of fighting
will wear out Jeffries.
Jimmy Riley So far as I can see It, It's all
Jeffries. Corbett could not whip him In bis
best days. Jeffries will put him out In a
punch, and in about six' rounds it will all be
over.
Jack Day Corbett will win on his clever
ness. He Is going to wear Jeffries out. and If
he does not land the knock-out, at least he
will get the decision. Jeffries' site and rush
ing tactics are not going fo count If he cannot
get at Corbett. and. In my opinion, that Is
just what Is going to happen.
George I. Baker From what I have read
and observed, I think that Jeffries l the most
likely man to win. He has strength and skill,
and has kept himself in the best of condition.
Corbett's agility may make tbe fight last until
about 20 rounds, but if he stands up to fight
Jeffries, he will not last ten rounds.
T. A. Huffaker, Shields' Park I have seen
both Jeffries and Corbett at work. Jeffries Is
a fighter and Corbett Is a clever sparrer. Jef
fries has not got Corbett's science, but he has
got greater strength and better wind. I don't
think that Corbett will have any show against
his opponent.
Peter Grant I don't see where Corbett has
any license to win. If the contest goes the
limit, it does not follow that It will be Cor
bett's fight, because the other man may be
stronger and the aggressor, and this should
give him the decision. I think Jeffries will
win In IS rounds, and he may do It earlier than
this. There Is no use. talking about his putting
out Corbett with a punch, for Corbett is too
clever and so man In the world can outbox
him. Corbett will make a good showing until
he gets tired, which will probably be about
the 15th round, and then it .will all be Jeffries.
Scott Morrill I have not taken any Interest
In prizefights lately, but from the best of my
Information Jeffries Is picked out to win.
Harvey Dale If the fight lasts the limit. It
will be Corbett's, but I don't see how this can
happen. Remember the difference In the ages
of the two men. While Corbett Is clever, yon
murt know that cleverness will not stand
against youth and strength. I pick Jeffries.
George Memsic So far as I can size it up it
Is all Jeffries. I don't" believe that be Is going
to allow Corbett to trot him around the ring
for 20 rounds. If Corbett gets near enough
for Jeffries to do business with him, Jeffries
will take care of his end of It- I chink that
It the fight does go the limit, it will be Cor
bett's. "Baron" Schlenk When Jeffries starts to hit
Corbett. the latter Is gone. Corbett's clever
ness and science will be no match for Jeffries'
strength and way of fighting.
Eugene Blazler Corbett will only last until
about 10 or 15 rounds. He Is clever,' but he"
will sot be able to stand more than that
against Jeffries. I raw Jeffries and Fltsslm
mons fight last year, and I know what Jearles
can do in that line.
A. Dollman. partner of Fred Fritz I have
carefully considered the proposition, and think
that Corbett will beat Jeffries in about 10
rounds. Corbett's science, style of boxing and
general cleverness are greater than Jeffries
strength.
Dr. Wylle G. Woodruff I never attended a
prizefight In my life, and would need to study
both men before I gave an opinion as to the
outcome of the contest, from the standpoint of
athletics. From what I read and hear. It
t seems to me that Jeffries, with his strength.
knowledge of the business, and youth, ought
to win.
The man In the saloon Aw. Don't wan't to
give me name. But it's all Jeffries. Why J
Because Jeffries is Jeffries.

TRYING TO PICK A WINNER,
f
I Experts DUagree on Merits of Two
.PuirillstS,
Here Is a variety of opinions from gents
who ought to know as to the outcome of
the great Corbett-Jeffries fight Friday
night:
PnullUts.
Dave Sullivan, pugilist. Sheepshead Bay
James J. Corbett In 20-rounds. Corbett should
win. provided he will be In as good condition
as when he boxed Jeffries at Coney Island, as
he can avoid Jeffries rushes and should stay
the limit for that many rounds.
Johnny Burdick. featherweight champion of
Harlem. X. Y. Jim Jeffries In 12 rounds.
Jeffries' youth and great .strength will return
him the victor. It Is fighter vs. boxer, with
the odds on the former.
Gus Ruhlln. pugilist, Brooklyn James J.
Corbett will make Jeffries step for 10 or IS
rounds, and then youth will be served.
R. VjicArchur. ex-champion amateur boxer,
San Frtnclseo James J. Corbett will win In
side of 12 rounds. Corbett will not be satis
fied to simply outpoint Jeffries in 20 rounds. It
is the clory of being the first man to adminis
ter tbe knock -cut to Jeffries that he U after,
and when he turns loose his rapid-fire battery.
I think It will he certains tor Jeff.
James J. Jeffries, world's champion In my
JAMES J. JEFFRIES.
opinion I will win. In any old round will
satisfy me.
Jack Root, pugilist. Chicago Jeffries jWlll
win.
Abe Attell. Chicago James J. Corbett will
win In 20 tounds. I think he Is too clever for
Jeff, and will outpoint him. I '
Kid McFadden. New York-Corbett In 20
rounds. Decision.
Art Sims, Akron Jeffries In 15 rounds. I
think Jeff will crowd Corbett more this time
than In their last battle, and he will tire out,
Aurolia Herrera. Salt Lake-Jim Corbett will
win in 20 rounds. I believe Corbett's clever
ness will more than overbalance Jeff strength,
and he ought to win the decision on points
after a great battle. .
Sam McVey, pugilist, and challenges J. J.
Jeffries Corbett In 20 rounds. When you hit at
Corbett he has just moved away.
Kid McCoy. New York Jim Jeffries In 10
rounds. Corbett has showed no form since his
last bout with Jeff, and Jeff has Improved
and should win easy.
Joe Gans, lightweight champion, Baltimore
I expect the bout to go the limit, and it
ought to be a great fight. Hard to pick a
winner.
Tom Sharkey, New York Jim Jeffries In
about ten rounds. Corbett Is clever and scien
tific, but Jeff has got the punch that will count.
Yank Kenny, pugilist. Corbett's trainer In
my opinion James J. Corbett will win in 20
rounds. The fight will go 20 rounds. Corbett
will win SO miles. Jeff will meet his master
this time.
"Kid Parker In my opinion Jim Jeffries will
win In 12 rounds. If Jeffries is the aggressor
from the start, he should score a knock-out.
Marvin Hart, Louisville In my opinion
James J. Jeffries will win In 12 rounds, for he
is a natural-born fighter, and I don't believe
Corbett could hit him hard enough to hurt
him at any stage of the game.
Young Peter Jackson, Baltimore Jim Jeffries
In 15 rounds. I would like to fight the winner.
Spider Kelly, famous second and trainer, San
Francisco Corbett In 18 rounds, because he Is
the best pugilist.
Hank Grlinn. Los Angeles The fight will go
the limit and Corbett will get the decision.
FIjrht Fans.
Jim Wakely. New York Jeffries In 12 to 13
rounds. The best fighter In the world If In
shape.
Jack Day. sporting man, Portland James J.
Corbett in 20 rounds. Reports show Corbett to
be stronger than ever, and should win easily
on points.
William Consldlne. sporting man, Detroit
Jeff In about 15 rounds. Jeff is too tough and
husky for Jim.
W. S. Nolan, sporting man. Butte James
J. Corbett In 20 rounds. He had the best of
their previous bout up to the 23d round, and
was a 2-to-l favorite at that time.
Tom Hanlon, sporting man, Chicago J. J.
Corbett In 20 rounds. He will outpoint Jeffries
and make him look like a sucker.
Patrick J. Harden, New York Manhattan
Athletic Club Mr. James J. Corbett will In the
decision. The fight will go the limit
Herbert Choynskl James J. Corbett In 20
rounds. I never have regarded Jeff as a boxer,
but as a great, big man. likely to be whipped
by one Just as big and sure to be whipped
by one much cleverer.
Timothy D. Sullivan. New York, Congress
man Corbett in 20 rounds.- Will-win on points.
Colonel Martin Brady, famous sporting man
In my opinion James J. Corbett will get the
decision. Corbett has never trained as con
scientiously In his life, and doubt if he has
been in better condition since his memorable
go with Peter Jackson.
John J. Glc&son, Leader O. C, San Fran
cisco Corbett in 20 rounds. I have known Jim
Corbett for 15 years, and can positively say
he never looked as big and strong as he does
today. He Is the most scientific boxer the
world ever saw.
Dan McKetrick. sporting man. New York
In my opinion James J. Corbett will win In 25
rounds. Corbett's wonderful cleverness will off
set Jeffries crushing touches. I dope htm
out to receive the decision.
Andy Craig, sporting man. 3SS State street.
Chicago In my opinion James J. Corbett will
win In 15 rounds. I think that Corbett,
through his cleverness, will worry and tire
Jeffries for about 15 rounds, and then land a
knock-out.
C W. Snider, sporting man. Chicago In my
opinion the fight will go the limit, and Jeffries
get t,be decision. I think that Corbett will try
and make a draw by staying the limit, but
think that he will lose the decision.
Captain Bogle CDonnell, sporting man. San
Francisco In my opinion I think It will be
a. draw. If Corbett Is good and strong tbe
worst he can get will be a draw.
D. Hlgglns, sporting man. "Montreal In my
opinion from Corbett' fight with McCoy, at
Madison-Square Garden. New York, he has
not a possible chance at any stage with Jef
fries. Homer Davenport, Morris Plains, N. J.
Corbett and Jeffries are both good friends of
mine. I am torry one of them must lose. Jeff
has proven that he Is too tough to be knocked
out, even by my other friend with the Dollr
Yarden fists, so that if he ever is to be beaten
It will be done by a man of Corbett's ability
to Jab and get away. He must, however, be
certain to get away. I am sorry yon have
asked me to decide amongst friends, but I do
feel confident JIM wilt win.
Manngers, Trainers, Referees.
Jack Grant, matchmaker, Portland Jeffries
should win after a hard fight.
Western Al Smith. San Francisco-Jeff In
eight. I don't think the fighter ever lived
that 'could beat him; also think he will be
champion for ten years to "come.
Harry Stuart, referee, Loa Angeles Cannot
venture an opinion on rounds. If Corbett has
not been out of the game too long and Is la
good condition I look for him to get the de
cision. It should be the greatest contest that
we ever have witnessed. Los Angeles will be
well represented at the ring.
H. W. Schlcchtcr, manager Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien. Philadelphia Corbett In 20 rounds, I
saw their fight at Coney Island, and -there
was only one man in the fight, and that was
Corbett. If he Is better now than when he was
then, Jeff hasn't a look-in.
Joe Machlas, manager pugilists, Philadelphia
In my opinion James J. Corbett will win In
20 rounds. After seeing their last fight, and
Judging by the newspaper reports we get from
their training camps, Corbett Is in great shape,
and If that. Is so, I can't see where Jeffries
has a chance. '
John Kelly ("Honest" John Kelly), famous
referee. New York In my opinion James J.
Corbett will win In 20 rounds. If Corbett Is
not knocked out In the first ten rounds he will
win and outpoint Jeffries three to one.
Andrew Craig, manager George Gardner,
Chicago In my opinion James J. Jeffries will
win In 12 rounds. Jeff Is too big and strong
and will wear Corbett down and knock him
out.
Ed Homan, sporting; man and president S.
F. A. Club Jeffries in 12 rounds. It will be
a grand contest, and one should not miss see
ing it, Corbett is certainly the cleverest of
.the heavy-weights, but figure Jeff to big and
strong for him.
"Biddy" Bishop, manager A Herrera, Salt
Lake Jim Corbett In 20 rounds. I do not think
Corbett will win on a knock-out, and simply
pick him to win the decision on points. He has
demonstrated that he could go the distance
with Jeff In their last battle, and should re
peat In the coming contest. It should be a
great battle.
Ike Bloom, manager of Abe Attell, Chicago
I am an admirer of both contestants, and may
the best man win.
Harry Pollock, manager Young Corbett
Corbett in 20 rounds.
Slg Hart, ex-manager Jack O'Keefe, San
Francisco Jeff In 12 to 15 rounds. In my opin
ion. The fight may end sooner. It all depends
how long Corbett can keep away from Jeff.
Jeff Is the cleverest and fastest big fellow
slnca tbe days of Peter Jackson.
Billy Roche, manager Sam McVey, Oxnard
Corbett In 20 rounds. Corbett will devote
entire time to skill and avoid that terrible
loft, which he can easily do.
Billy Delaney. trainer of Jeff, Harbin Springs
Jeffries in the stretch.
Al Hereford, manager Joe Gans Jeffries In
side of 20 rounds, but Jeff will have to win
with a knock-out, as If It goes the limit, Cor
bett will surely get the decision, as I saw the
last bout.
William Muldoon. boxing instructor. New
York I did not see Corbett or Jeffries in a
long time. Have no Idea of their condition. If
Jeff is in good condition as to his strength
and endurance, he should win in six rounds
or less.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Seattle set Portland back a peg today at
Recreation Park by harder hitting in a
game that belonged to either team until
the last man was out. The locals made
the same number of runs as on the pre
vious day with two less hits, but the vis
itors did not do half as well on either runs
or hits. Seattle made six errors to Port
land's three, and some of them wore rank;
but fast base-running offset them, so that
the scale was practically tipped by su
perior hitting. As In the preceding game,
the loser was ahead in the early stages.
Seattle made one in the first, but a two
base hit and a bunch of errors gave Port
land four in the second. .In the fourth
Seattle welted the ball In a manner that
netted tne team live runs, but in the
fifth Portland tied the score. It was then
Six to one and a half of the other.
In the sixth two hits and two errors
gave Seattle three more, and after that
each 3ide scored one. The visitors made
two hits in the. eighth, but failed to tally.
In the ninth the outs came one, two.
three.
Drohan pitched a good game. He held
the visitors down to eight hits and gave
but one base on balls. He hit one batter
and struck out one. Ike Butler did not
shine. He was Jostled for 14 hits and
only atruck out one man. He was cautious
with his passes, though, giving only two.

FOREIGX ATHLETES MAY ESTER
St. Lonls Fair Committee on Olympic
Gnmes Settles Delicate Matter;
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 12. The final meeting
of the Amateur Athletic Union's athletic
committee, vested with all power to ar
range for the Olympic games of 1904, was
held today. As all the athletic events
that will be held during the year will
take place under the rules of the Ama
teur Athletic Union, whereby athletes
who compete must be amateurs and reg
istered athletes, the committee discussed
at length just how they would proceed
in regard to the foreign athletes' right
to compete without registration.
After a long discussion the representa
tives of the Western Association of the
Amateur Athletic Union, which controls
this district, John O'Connor and H. C.
Garneau decided that their association
would register free of charge all ath
letes from any foreign country who have
with them or send with their repre
sentatives a statement from the secre
tary or president of the athletic associa
tion governing sport in that country to
the effect that they are amateurs and
eligible to compete. This settled what
was deemed an intricate matter to
handle.
