CORBETT EXPLAINS
Declares New Style Fighting
Will Whip Jeffries.
CHAMPION HAS A WEAK SPOT
Ex-Cham pi on Will Battle Slower and
Direct Ills Blows TTpon Jeffries
Short Ribs, Which Are Short
sod Badlr Connected.
One evening last week while James J.
Corbett u delighting an audience with
his droll stories, a very busy Individual
asked him to tell exactly what be thoucht
of his coming battle with Jeffries. The
stage smile faded from tfce face of the
fourth-time candidate for pugilistic cham
pionship honors, and be gave out the fol
lowing explr nations of how he Is going to
put It all over Jeffries and again be the
champion. Hear what he says:
"I Intend to win this fight," he said.
"But I guess you are used to that kind of
talk. I expect to whip Jeffries, and I have
good foundation for my hopes. A year
ago Fltzslmmons came up to the Woods
gymnasium one afternoon and I sparred
with him. Fits had been training then
with BubUn to fight Jeffries and he was la
fair trim. I was soft and out of shape.
Tbe way I lost my wind and got tired In
three rounds of fast boxing mads me sore.
I am a pretty proud fellow, and I hated
myself for getting so far away from my
old fighting form. Right then I made a
resolve to get back. Well. I have been
at It steadily ever since, and today I am
In better shape than I have baen since the
day I fought Sullivan. That sounds like
the old stereotyped way fighters have of
talking, doesn't ItT Well, I win show you
something." Corbett straightened up and
with a deft movement divested himself of
coat and vest. Shirt followed. He stood
stripped to the waist and showed larger,
more rounded muscles than ever before.
His arms were builder, his chest full and
rounded, his abdomen protected by corru
gated coating as thick and rugged as that
of Sharkey. Since a year ago Corbett has
undergone another transformation more
startling than that which prepared him
for his last fight with the present cham
c!on. "Jim. how did you do ItT" be was asked.
Corbett smiled. "I have changed my Idea
of fighting entirely," be declared. "I have
found that the punch wins fights and not
what I have always considered to be clev
erness. I have trained accordingly.
"Now here are my reasons for thinking
I will whip Jeffries. I don't care whether
or not be knows them, for no matter how
much he knows about the way I will fight
him he will not be able to change his
own way. He Is built and has intelligence
enough to fight Just one way. If he lives
to be a hundred be can't change It. I am
about ten times faster than Jeff. Lost
time I fought him I was losing my
strength by using much more speed than
I had any need for In fighting him. I
can be far slower and still be three times
quicker than he Is. In using my speed to
get In and then away yards further thnn
I needed to, I spoiled any chances I bad
to hit hard.
"This time I am going to be enough
faster than Jeff to keep myself safe, and
not fast enough to waste half my speed.
You have seen professional strong men
training they get more and more power
ful, and all tbe time they get slower.
That Is Just what I am doing for this
Sght. I have been working for a year In
a way to develop my strength without
taking any care at all about keeping fast.
When I fight Jeff again I will not step In
like a flash. Jab him and spring back. I
will time him. When he leads I will step
Inside with a hook that will be faster
than any movement of his. Jam It Into his
body, and then Instead of Jumping out
will catch his arms to prevent a return,
blocking his blow that he tries to use and
step back into position for tho next open
ing. Jeff with his hitting power is a
dangerous man. no matter how poor a
boxer he Is. I will have to take care that
he does not land on me where he can do
damage. I don't think that will be hard
to do. There Is this advantage that I
will have. Jeff knows as well as I do
that he will have to knock me out to win.
If the fight goes the limit he will have
so chance of the decision on points. He
will know that, and be will also know
that he wfll have no time to spare If be
wants to make sure of besting me. He
may be forced to get at me like a wild
bull from the beginning of the first
round. If he does I will simply Jab him
as fast as I please. If he does not I will
Ccht him without extending myself, sav
ing my strength for a chance that will
come when he has gone about ten rounds
at full speed and Is good and tired. Then
there will be something doing. I will have
the chance to get In that punch that I
am developing. It's all nonsense to say
Jeff can't be knocked out. A roan Is the
worst dub In the world when he Is tired
out. and a hard blow on the point of the
chin will put Jeff away as well as It
would any one else.
"But there is something more that
makes me confident. I know something
about Jeff that be might as well know
that I know. I have discovered his weak
point. Jeff can't take punishment under
the heart or anywhere about the stonv
ach. This statement I will prove by dr
cumstantlal evidence, and many a man
has been hanged upon that kind of evi
dence before now. I guess It Is good
enough. I Orst met Jeff at Carson, when
he came up there to Join my training
camp. The second day we boxed De-
laney came to me and asked me to let up
on Jeff and cut out body punching. He
said Jeff felt sore about the body and
could not stand It. Another thing, why
did Jeff ever start in with that crouch.
which makes him twice as slow as he Is
naturally? Why? Only to make It Im
possible to reach his body. His Jaw Is
In range, and he prefers to take punch-
In on the Jaw rather than down below.
I asked Munroe a while ago If he suc
ceeded In hurting Jeff, and where. Mun
roe said. "Well, he seemed to wince when
I reached his body. I hurt him a good
deal with rights and a punch under the
heart. It nearly put him out or business.
"Now, to cap the climax and show
that all these circumstances have some
foundation. I have something better still.
A while ago I was up at Tale. When
there I was examined by a doctor who
has charge of examining the students.
He had examined both Jeff and Fits be
fore that. When he was through with
me he sat down and talked a while. With
out any suggestion on my part he said.
Jeff has a marvelous physique, but be
has one extremely weak point that I
found when examining him. I wonder
It has not been discovered by his oppon
ents. His lower ribs are short and very
badly connected, so they offer ajmoet no
defense for the vital organs underneath.
"I am hitting hard, ard when I dig a
few Into those short and badly connected
ribs I will soon find out whether or not
my calculations are right I have done
a lot of boxing lately while on the road.
Ever since Munroe fought Jeffries there
have been a few Munroes In every town.
There are always two or three big fel
lows who are anxious to knock out some
big tighter and make a reputation.
have boxed with a lot of them, and some
times I have been forced to cut loose a
little. I suppose I have knocked out
about ten of them unintentionally.
surprise myself every time I use my new
vny ol fighting while I am boxing. It Is
strange how easily a man can knock out
one of these big fellows If he fights dose
In and always comes In with his blow
Instead of going away. I am going on
the road for a couDle of weeks more.
Then I will return to New York for a
week, after which I wfll start for Cali
fornia. There I will ro Into rerular
training for the fight. When It comes off
I want you to remember what I have said
about Jeffs weak body. Just look back
ana remember what I said about my re-
tonn in the matter of hitting hard and
coming In Instead of Jumping away alt
the time, .as I had been doing for a while.
"When I fought Peter Jackson I stood In
close. Just as I shall this time."
MACK GOSE STILL MISSING
Detectives Find a Clew That Leads
'to No nesnlt.
Mack Gose. the missing racehorse of J.
II. Peterson. Is still In the hands of the
man who stole him. The police struck a
clew yesterday, and worked Industriously
upon It. Detective Frank Snow went east
ward as far as Troutdale and found traces
of tbe big bay stallion almost up to that
town. From there the track turned to the
southward. The hors: was not driven
through Troutdale.
Detective Snow believes that the thief.

The above cut Is a very good likeness of the handsome English setter dog Dude
Nye, owned by J. B. Nye, of this city. In 1901 he took first place among the open
dogs In his class, and reserve In the specials. This year he has been the prominent
English setter at the local bench show, capturing first honors In the class for limit
dogs, first In the open dogs class, and first In the winners. Mr. Nye Is Justly proud
of his dog's record, and has good reason to believe that he Is the owner of the beat
English setter dog In the Northwest
horse was that an animal of the descrip
tion of Mack Gose was driven along a
road leading southward from the main
road near Troutdale.
The police and many of Peterson's
friends agree that an attempt was prob
ably flint made to cross the Cascades and
strike for The Dalles. At present there,-la
too much snow In the mountains for a
vehicle to be driven across. Learning of
this condition, the horsethlef made oft In
another direction.
The keepers of all the tollgates on the
roads leading out of Multnomah County
have been notified of the theft, and are
on the lookout for Mack Gose. A careful
watch Is kept at the Vancouver ferry, but
no horse of the description of Peterson's
fast stallion has appeared. The horse Is
a bay stallion weighing 1300 pounds, 164
hands high. It Is marked with a white
star on the forehead, and Is branded with
an "W on the left aide of the neck. Pe
terson offers JSO0 for the arrest and con
viction of the thief.
The description given Detective Snow of
the man driving the horse is that of a
small, wiry person, dressed in a grayish
brown suit. Sandy complexion and a
slight mustache complete tbe description. ,
The thief Is careful not to drive the horse
fait enough to attract particular atten
tlon.
BARKED THEIR LAST BARK
Fourth Annual Bench Show Comes

Three hundred pedigreed canines harked
farewell to the fourth annual bench show
of the Portland Kennel Club last night.

difficult tricks, receiving hearty applause
after each performance. The entertain

at the bench show, and Trainer Hunt has
received a great deal of commendation
upon the high standard of his perform

TEAMS COMPARED
How Browns and Greengages
Look Side by Side.
BOTH OF THEM STEADY LOSERS
Threat of Blacklisting Will Prob
ably Not Be Pat In Effect at All
Seattle Conies Here This
Weelc to PInr Portland.
The baseball war Is upon us. Mr. Sex
ton ha extended the time set for spank
ing pltyers who refused to break their
contracts with the Pacific Coast League,
and Portland has two losing hail teams.
It this Isn't a sufficient category of hard
luck, won't some concocter of that vint
age please come forward?
The week Just gone Into history has not
been without Its rumors killed and made
good. His rotundity, Dugdale. named
three Pacific Coast players who would
Jump back to tbe Pacific Nationals, and
thereby won a suit of happy rags. Tbe
lovely bunch that one J. McCloskey and
Clurlle Rellly claimed they had furnished
with spring heels failed to take the hur
dles at the promised time and there you
are.
If President Sexton thinks he has
frightened Pacific Coast ballplayers by
bis "maidenly" threat, he has another
mess cominr. His foolish ukase Is strict
ly in keeping with his mental adornment.'
Nothing short of such an expedient a.
blacklist could be expected from such a
source. What terrible ransacking of the
rustic arbor of his skull. Sexton must
have done to have dug up that Insipid
threat. It Is easy to see and to Judge a
mans mental attainment when he will
attach his name to such a flat. Any
child, even though it be still In the lob-
stery red stage, knows that- on orguuza
tlon. .whether It be baseball or railroad.
oare maxe promiscuous inreau anouc
blacklisting without having .the law down
on it.
What Sexton should have done, and
developed that they believe as he does. Is
io nave consuiiea an attorney, just let
the Pacific National League magnates
try this wholesale blacklisting If they
want to. Then let them sit bick and
watch what Is coming to them. It won't
come singly bunches would be a better
word.
What Is surprising about this "now
May IT" threat Is that players In the
Pacific National League almost to a man
believe that It's the cheese and the doth.
It's the cheese all right, but the kind that
would, it ne could, nave maculated the
I contract-Jumpers In addition to having
mem enjoined sexton is not me omy
wise (sic) man In the baseball game. If
I the blacklist could have been worked
without danger to their exchequer, rest
assured It would have been worked over
time by the National League. Then, too,
there are the labor unions to be consid
ered. While baseball-players have no or
ganization, there is a fraternal feeling
that will come up very strong when the
blacklist is put Into operation, it it ever
Is. Just let Peewee Sexton et al. try any
blacklisting scheme.
But enough of a man who cuts about as
I much figure In the baseball world as a
! flyspeck on last year's map. Let's get
, back to the Browns and the Nationals.
I Jack Grlm'a hired men. like the Browns,
started tbe race for the pennant by losing
' games. Comparing the team man for
man. the Browns are bead and shoulders
; better than the Greengages, with per-
I haps the exception of one or two spots,
I The Nationals have shown better on the
bases and In team work, but In batting
- and In the outfield they do not compire
j with the Browns. Delsel is younger and
, faster at third base than Jay Andrews,
but he cannot wield the ash with the ex-
I manager of Spokane. Donahue Is a third
baseman, but bis work at short is getting
better every day, and he handles himself
In masterful style for a big man. He has
a splendid throwing arm. and can hit well.

It would be unfalf to compare him to
Schmeer, not only because he is playing
out of position, but because Schmeer,- In
addition to being hurt, has been ill very

while his work on the opening day and

game, he pitched a good game, conslder-
lng that the Index finger of his pitching
hand Is not entirely recovered from the
fracture which he received at San Jose.
Butler has pitched two good games, but
of late his work has been very ragged and
uncertain.
On Tuesday the Browns will play their
first game at home. Local fans for the
most part have been more or less faith
ful, but at best they are fickle and they
I have grown skeptical. Grlm'a team
goes away and the tana who have seen
the Greengages la action will have a
chance to Judge for themselves. One
thing is certain, they will see faster base
ball than they have for years. Eastern
ers who have seen tbe games played by
the Padfic Coast League declare to a
man that the teams play National League
baseball, and In some Instances even fast
er than the major organizations; At home
the Browns ought to win more than their
share of games. The team opens with
Seattle, and. although Parke Wilson's
crew has been sorely depleted by the
bunch of grasshoppers, the Seattle man
ager has greatly strengthened his team,
so that the Browns will f ice a formida
ble aggregation. Tbe Nationals .will play
this week at Tacoma.
This also comes from Los Angeles:
Well, now. wouldn't that grab you? First.
It was Ducky Holllngsworth and now it's
Jack Lawler! James F. Morley has auth
orized me to state that he will pay a fine
fat reward for the capture, dead or alive,
of the microbe that breaks into a ball
player's notion factory and causes him
to Jump a winning team and a sure-pay-ins-
proposition for a long chance both
ways. Aesop was the wise old baseball
fan that told the little story of the dog
and the tenderloin steak and the reflec
tion In the water, and it's dead easy now
to see where he got the Idea. Tacoma
must have raised Morley off the roof.
but there was one thing sure, while Law
ler waa wearing Jims cream-colored
clothes he was sure that the pay wagon
wouldn't break an axle and fall to drive
in on the appointed day. Fifty Iron
Louies a week that you get will buy
you more than 75 that are only promised
to you. and all contract-Jumpers will
read the foregoing over twice. Well. It
was a shame to lose him: he was a good
man. But there will be another to take
his place and draw his envelope on pay
day, and you can mark It in your hat
that these fool contract-Jumpers will all
be on the bum when the harvest days ore
over. Jessie dear. Contract-Jumping Isn't
good business, and it isn't good sense,
and these human grasshoppers will an
live long enough to rind it out for them
selves. Next!
"Grasshopper" Dennis McCarthy on his
arrival In Tacoma has been saying hard
things about the Pacific Coast League.
Hear what he says: "I told you fellows
I d be back In Tacoma when reporting
time came, didn't I? And here I am. I
am In better shape now than I ever was
before, and I'm going to show these peo
ple something. I am not the only fellow-
playing with the Outlaws who will re
port to National teams when the time
comes. Had all the Outlaws I want In
mine. I had rather work for McKlb
ben any time than a fellow like Wilson.
"The National League parks In San
Francisco and Los Angeles have got the
outlaw parks beat a mile In almost every
way. There'll be nothing to It. I tell you.
when our league opens up down there.
They are all rooting for us except those
who are connected with the outlaw league
In one way or another. TO be there with
the goods myself this year; see If I ain't."
The. Los Angeles Herald man gives
Belli- the following: Charlee Rellly is
coming to town with his grasshoppers and
then we may have a losing team on our
hands as well as a winning one. and the
wise fans can pick the one that looks the
best to them. Rellly has the town plas
tered with fine large photographs of his
team with an extra large picture of him
self in the middle, caught In the act of
slamming the ball down to first. It begins
to look very much like business, and
across the street from the Chutes Park
they are pushing the new grounds along
for all there Is In It. There will be base
ball till you can't rest down here soon,
and Rellly will find that Morley has set
him a bard lead to follow seven straight
so far. The winning team down here will
be the one that will draw the money, and
It will be up to Rellly to play ball some
or go back.
While In California I had many chats
with Charlie Rellly, the former third
baseman of the. Denver team. lit "regard
to tbe baseball situation on the Coast.
Rellly. of course. Is wrapped up in the
Pacific Northwest League, as he holds
the franchise for Los Angeles, writes Otto
Floto, sporting editor of the Denver Post.
Rellly admits that there Is Just one man
to beat on tbe Coast, and that man Is
Harris, of San Francisco. Harris is so
exceedingly popular with tbe fans and
press that they are with him to a man.
and the opposition team in San Fran
cisco cannot look for many shekels at
the gates this coming season.
Rellly. however. Is confident that his or
ganization will win out In the end. He
figures to lose much money this season,
but after that be able to get players that
will make good and then draw the fans
to the grounds. As matters stand now
the California League is presenting an
article of ball that is at least a season
ahead of their rivals.
The Lucas League counts on the assist
ance of the National Association to car
ry them through. Without this aid the
California League would drive their pres
ent opposition, out of the field Inside of
a month. As it Is. neither will make any
money, and it's a question if the National
Association can down the California
League, even with all the power at their
command.
It was rather amusing to hear the Ta
coma fans speaking of the local backers
of the Coast League as cutthroats. law
breakers, blackmailers, scoundrels, thugs,
bums and blear-eyed bruisers and a few
more, thank you. There are Just, as fine
men on one side as on the other. You
never beard Lou Cohen calling Dug a
cutthroat, did -you? You never heard
Sherwood GUlespy calling McCloskey a
scoundrel, did you? You never heard
Fred Stlmson calling Charlie Lane a
thug or a bum. did you? Tou bet your
life you never did. and you never will,
either. A man has the right to go Into
baseball if he wants to. Just as be has
the right to enter the cigar business, or
pull down salary as a. reporter. It seems
to the writer that it's Just about time
this outlaw and cutthroat business was
brought to an end. There is such a
thing as fighting a fight on the square.
This Isn't intended as a roast on the P.
N. L. fellows, only It's a little wearisome
to have them say, "We're, letting, the
other fellows do the mudsllnglng." and at
the same time close their remarks by
calling the opposition all the names In
the calendar. Come on, let's play ball,
and may the beet league and tbe best
fellows win. but really such people as
Cohen, Gill espy and Stlmson and that
dass of fellows art n't halt bad. and one
doesn't have to employ a microscope to
find it out, either. Seattle Times.

prise of the season on contract Jumping

Martin Glendon agreed to play ball this

financial Inducements. Shettsllne Immedi
ately applied to the Philadelphia Court of

strain these players from appearing on
any ball field In Pennsylvania other than
the National League grounds in Phila

Many tales Illustrative of the methods.
Connie Mack employs so successfully have'
been printed, and here la one from the
Ohio State Journal:
One holiday when Connie had Waddell
with the Milwaukee Club the Brewers
were beaten In the morning game by
Pitcher Reldy. who Is famous for having
little In stock except a slow "floater"
which fools the sluggers. "Rube" sat on
the bench during that game and made
remarks reflecting on Reldy's ability.
"Any one can do that kind of pitching,"
he eald contemptuously, "and I'll Just
show you how easy It Is this afternoon."
True to his word. "Rube" pitched the
afternoon game without his usual speed,
merely tossing the balls with a slow curve
like Reldy's. By luck and some good field
