Jcffrloo of California, champion heavy weight puglllot of tho world, and Itobort Fltzslmmouo, who line hopoi of regain ing tho championship honorn ho lost to .liffrlea nt Co nny Island thrco yeara ago, moot in tho arena of tho National Ath- lotlo club tonight to contoat again for tho Biiproniacy. Tho mon aro matchod to box twenty rounds. If proaent ar rangomonto nro carried out tho boxers will faco ono another shortly after nino o'clock. According to roporla from their roapoctlvo twining quartom, Joffnoa nnd Fltzslmmona nro both in Jlrat-claea pi yelcal condition. From tho hour tho mutch waa mado Jeffries has bcou a decided fnvorito over Fltzalinmons in tho betting. Thoau who have staked their money on the chain pion hnvo in mind tho fact that ho did tho trick onco nnd can do it again. Bo tldoi, the champion has a moat docldcd 'advantago in regard to ago and in addi tion ho is taller, hoavlor, and has slight- Jy Monger reach' tha'ri the Gornlahuinn., It Is conceded by all followora of the gaino that Jeffries lias itnprovod In science slnco ho won tho championship. Ho is no longer tiio free-arm fighter of tho dnshaway school. Ills best hold is a left rip, such as Dixon used with groat execution In Mb palmy days. Ho is also handy with the right nt tho ribs. IIo is quick on his feet, gritty and aggressive and with his many natural advantages it Is dlQlcult to liguro out how tho Cor nlthman can withstand his sledgeham mer blows. In tho old days Jeffries slashed out in a wholesale way, paying llttlo regard to pugilistic economies. IIo had a habit of striking with the big joints of his thumbs. Ao a conscquonca ho frequently crippled his hands early In tho contest, nnd for tho balanco of tho tlrao he was na helpless as a dltmaitcd vessel wallowing In tho trough of a heavy soa, During tho pact three years, how ever, ho has mot nnd defeated a number of good mon and in addition has sparred a lot with such past masters of the craft as Tommy Ryan, and it ia but natural that he should derive benefit from koop Ing such good company. It may bo safe ly assumed therefore that Fitzalmmona will tonight face a far moro scientific fighter than tho pugilist at whoso hands ho mot dofoat at Couoy Island. With theso facts boruo in mind it is difficult to flguro out how tho Cornish man has nny (how to lowor Jrffrlos' col ors, liut those beat acquainted with rlog mattors know that Filzilminous is no ordinary mortal. IIo has outlived, in an athletic sonto nil middlo and heavy weights of his gonoration. Ho has re versed tho rulo by building up in muccle and subatanco whon symptoms of phys ical shrinkage might bo lookod for. IIo is to all intents and purposes a Into flow ering plant, and it lu just possible that the respite of two yenra slnco ho did nny fighting has bonefllod rather than in. jurcd him. Whiloshrowd bottora natur ally favor tho champion thero nro many who would not bo surprised if victory perched on tho bannors of tho lanky Dob. For Fitzslmmons iu a man of aur prlcoa. On moro than ono occasion ho has turned npparout'dofeat into victory Iiy his ifl&tkH ho has kept oppononts away from him whon thoy might huvo flnishod him. Othora ho has led on only to put them hora do combat whon thoy least oxpeotod it. Ho still rotalna that famous old knock-out blow. Unlesa ho has rotrogradod moro than critics sup: poco ho ia still ono of tho most clangor- ou3 mon in tho world at cloeo quarters. "Whlloappnrontly awkward and ehamb ling In tho ring, in reality ho ia all oyoa and (lata, and, possessing forco, no ono knows bottor how to apply it. Fitialm mons reollzos that his only chanco reeta in kooplng awav from tho 'big champion long enough to got in that ono knock-out 1 blow-of his. And it will havo to bo a hard blow at that for JoffrloawUh hla mnsalvo jaw and thick ribs, ia built for heavy weather nnifnbovo nil ho possesses rccupprativo powers which Fitzsinimona uaturf.lly lacks, becauao of hla advanced yoars, DnroitK TJIK HOIIT A pfolimary bout between Foley nnd Barry resulted in a victory for Foloy In the 11 lb round.
