OLD CHAMPION LOOKS FIT Indications Arc That He "Will Go Into the Kins Bearing the .Long End of Ten to Seven Odds. KkW 'tQPwHk SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 19. There has been a change in the betting: on the Fltz-jslmmons-O'Brlen glove contest, scheduled tor tomorrow night. The volume of money which poured Into the poolrooms last night and this morning on Fitzslmmons has made the Cornlshman favorite, and good judges of odds declare that when the men enter the ring Fltzslmmons will bo a 10-to-7 choice. Fulton G. Berry was one of the heaviest bettors on Fltzslm mons. He sent $3000 into the pool boxes last night. The change In public opinion as to the outcome of the fight Is believed to be due to the good Impression made by the Cor nlshman during Tils training. Fltzslm mons certainly looks fit, and, despite his age, he expects to win. The change in the betting has nqt less ened O'Brien's confidence In the least. Both men are in fine condition, and Ihere Is every indication that the contest will be one of the most interesting ever wit nessed here. The attendance promises to be very large. SEATTLE NEEDS A NEW CENTER Members of Team Badly Shaken in Multnomah Contest. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec 19. (Special.) "Wells, the bis Seattle guard whom James butted twice in Saturday's parae, will not be out with the ath letic club team for the early prelim inary practice for the Now Year's game at Portland. Wells' shoulder is swollen and sore and he uses his arm with great difficulty. Dr. Roller, captain, coach and man ager of the Seattle team, a physician and trainer of athletes, has Wells under his care and he will not let. the big guard do anything that en dangers the chances for his showing up with the team in the Oregon metropolis. So Wells is resting quietly. Cutts, the famous Har'ard '01 tackle and coach for the University of Wash ington team this year, is limping around with a "charley horse." In some manner Cut'ts strained himself Saturday and he will be put In the club hospital to straighten out the kink. The showing that Pete Overfleld made against Sample has convinced the club backers that they must have a new man, at center for the big New Year's gome. "Dad" Gregory, the old Michigan center, who coached Oberlln this year, is back In town again and club members are trying to force him to get into the team. Gregory insists he does not -want to play and has declared before that his playing days arc over, but Seattle realizes that it is up against a hard proposition on Multnomah field and club backers are making life miser able for Gregory. If he can be gotten out, a big hole in the line will be filled up. The Seattle team Is trying to get out some kind of a scrub line-up to prac tice againBt. The lack of a scrub team has handicapped Seattle all through the year and there Is no very bright chance of getting practice work of that kind before the New Year's game. And a great deal de pends upon finding a team that will stand It to be walked over every night for the next two weeks. If the odds are right thero will be Seattle money in Portland to back the team. Seattle expects odds and wants them. In fact Multnomah offered odds hero Just after last Saturday's game and the Seattlo bettors are going to Portland looking for a chance for a clean-up.
