SAN FRANCISCO, July IS Corbett worked a bit harder today than usual end many were surprised, as he had notified his friends that he would rut any hard training until next week, when he would begin In earnest. In the morning he banged away at the punch- ins; Dag ror several ruunas ana then took a four-round fall out of the heavy swinging bag. He also wrestled with Kenny until the latter tired and then went six fast rounds with Sam Berger, in which neither man did any landlnr. They simply feinted around. At the con clusion he did not feel a bit fatigued. 'vhat were his reasons for doing so much work today?" asked the writer of Prof. Tommy Dare, his chief trainer. "Well, we merely wanted to test his endurance. In all he went 14 three-mln ute rounds and he could surely have gone 14 more. Shortly I will arrange it with Jim so that he will do about 10 rounds of work, that is 30 three-minute rounds, the same that Is asked of him tn a ring encounter. My Idea Is to sub ject Jim to a season of sustained exer tion as he would experience In. his com ing battle with Jeffries were It to go the limit." Jeffries Is still out on his hunting trip and nothing hag been heard from him. , Yanger aad Xaaloa. Henn"Tan'ger las" sent' word" To'Mon rls Levy of the Hayes Valley Club, who wants him to meet Eddie lianlon In a return bout In September, that he will forward his $500 forfeit to bind the match In a few days. The news was re ceived with Joy by the manager, who thinks he will have the largest house ever seen here when the lads meet again. It 1 safe to predict that It will be a record-breaker, as the boys put up the best draw seen here In many moons. The Britt-Fltsgerald bout was a corker but this one had It beaten a block. Should the boys agree the con dition will be the same that governed their former meeting. Benefit, fot M oOonnaO. The eve before the big fight between Jeff and Corbett a benefit fight will be pulled off and the proceeds wilt be turned over to young Frank McConnell. who was severely "injured In his fight with Spider Welsh some months ago. Frankie Neal and some bantam of note will be brought together In the main event. What Byan lays. Tommy Ryan, the middleweight cham pion, who has been selected to train Jim Corbett for his coming champion ship battle with Jeffries, has made a careful study of both men. Ryan was at one time, chief trainer for the cham-, 'fHoa. In fact, he trained Jeffries for his championship battles with Fiti- stmmons and Corbett. and it was the middleweight' methods more than any thing else that enabled the big boiler maker to carry off the honors. - Ryan seconded Jeffries when the lat ter fought Corbett and is therefore well qualified toexpress an opinion on the re spective merits of the rival heavy weights. Ryan honestly believes that Corbett is the most dangerous opponent for Jeffries its tn game today and will be the most difficult for the champion to dispose or. In an Interview Ryan compares Jeffries and Corbett as follows: Wants Them to Come to Kim. "I seconded Jeffries In his last fight with Corbett, and I know all about this big fellow. I know that Jeffries can lick oil these fellows' that coma to him. That's what he wants. He can beat all the Sharkers, the Fitzslmmnnses and the Ruhllns they send against him. Fitzslmmons always did carry the fight to a fellow. It's the only way he knows how-tn fignt. hcb trutck and air that." and yet he fights Just the way Jeffries wants him to. "Now. Corbett Is the other way. Cor hett's plan of battle shows that he wants a safe gateway after the hook. All his hooks are from about the walst hlgh line with that side turned toward his man and his head going away. Cor bett can no morefciyigo his style of fighting at this stage of the game than he can lly. He will fight exactly the same way as he did In his other fight. "Lflgure .Uio flght-.th Is. way; Jeffries can win on a knockout and Corbett on decision, and they both have a good chance to do that. If Jeffries is lucky he may win in a hurry by getting Cor bott Just right. If he isn't he'll go along the way he did before and the fust thing lie knows the fight will be over. .

PENNSY HOPEFUL FOR A GREAT 'VARSITY Red and Blue Cracks Have Called Early Practice One Month Hence, PHILADELPHIA, July 18. Pennsyl vanla will do her best to put a first' class team on the gridiron next fall. With this end In view the bandidates will be summoned to begin training aa early as August 17. The men will be aken to Beach Haven, near Atlantic City, and here they will be put through hard course of training. The coaches have decided to put their faith In old fashioned hard work. Another reason for the assembling of the men at so early a date Is the new football rules, which will require study by the coaches as well as the candidates. The number of candidates Is large. Among the school boys who will try are Coxe of Swarthmore, Williams and McClatn of Haverford, Zlegler and Olnv bel of Penn Charter, Hendrle and Lig gett of Central High. Busby of Central Manual Training School, and Schwank of Catholic High, who have all matriou lated.at Pennsylvania. These boys have the necessary weight and experience to make' good foot ballers, and It Is safe to say that sev eral of them will likely be seen on the Pennsylvania ltne-up In the opening games. Last year's ineligible men, many of whom will be candidates this, season, will also be a big help to the eleven. Among these will be Smith, the former State College fullback.

Kostai halls from Guelph, Ont., where he played several years for Peter Loh man. "Cudgey" was secured last year by Spokane In the old Nbrthwest Leaguo and played until nearly the end xf thfl season, when he Joined the Portland team. The very day that he joined the Portland nine he had the pleasure of de feating his former clubmates from Spo kane. Kostai won the majority of his games for Portland last year, and two thirds for Spokane before being re leased. This year Kostai found himself In fast company, and, while pitching several good games, ho could not win. In the number of games pitched for the Browns he won but four, and these were in reality captured by the batting of his team behind him. Kostai was a willing worker and never sWrkedi but Inability to win games resulted In his dismissal. "Cudgey" is a good fellow and had many friends, and his familiar face will be missed by the fans at Twenty-fourth and Vaughn streets. Kostai will be a tower of strength to Roseburg and everybody wishes the hard-working twlrler success. (Journal Special Service.) WASHINGTON. July 18. Poor old Delehanty! What an untimely end for one who has shone so brilliantly In the baseball firmament for tho past decade. The sad story of his fatal plunge Into the dark and turbulent waters of the cruel Niagara came aa a severe shock to his team mates and a host of friends In this city, ss well as all over the country. Despite his dilatory tactics here this year, he had thousands of friends who were only too willing to overlook his faults when that wagon tongue winow or his began to work. A deep gloom has settled over the en tire elub. Tom. Loftus 1 is virtually tunned by the tragedy, while all of his. fellow-players spent the morning at the ball park. Bitting .about In groups and discussing the ' sad Intelligence. The Impression that the "big fellow" was the victim of foul play steadily gains credence, and one and all of the members of the club scoff at the Idea of suicide or an accidental plunge. Delehanty. had a heart tn htm as big as all outdoors. He was quick and Impulsive, aaatly aroused, yet quick to forgive. Ho was generous to a fault, and as Ingenuous as a child, and, according to his wife, a good husband and fond father. His death will be mourned by thou sands and thousands of lovers of base ball the world over who recognised In him the greatest batsman of the age. Club Hates' Tribute. The following expressions of sympa thy were made by Delehantys mess mates: K' ' ' "It's a sad affair, and hard to believe. but I must believe It." said Manager Loftus.

The meeting of baseball magnates In' Chicago, where W. H. Lucas and Henry Harris met wltb rep resentatives of the National Assocla tlon of Minor Leagues in an attempt to settle the baseball war on the Pacific Coast has given room for much rumor concerning the future of the gams out here. Although TsVoma has been a member of Lucas league for three seasons, there Is svery probability that she will dis solve her allegiance to him after the close of the present season. In 1401 this city was one of the best towns 'In the4 old Pacific Northwest League, which- was then composed only of Tacoma, Portland. Spokane and Seattle. Portland -4tfd a walkaway for the pennant thanferar, but Tacoma finished a good sel4. Last season Lucas expanded Into MW tana and though at first the InnovatlK was not generally liked in Tacoma whe; the season closed there was a general agreement expressed with the plan of continuing this season with the same circuit that proved so successful last year. Things have not been turning out just right this season, however, to suit Tacoma, and she is already looking for a change for the better, according to good authority. Instead of a large com pany of small stockholders In control of the club, as at present. It is tne inten tion of one or two Influential and mon eyed men to take the club, and they promise to put a winning team In the field another season.
