(Special Dispatch to The Journal.), i San Francisco, March 25.- Two well groomed young men,' accompanied .by a host of well known sports from all over the coast, met this morning at Harry Corbett's and shook hands. They were . Jimmy Brltt and Young Corbett, who are to meet tonight in one of the ' most Interesting boxing contests that . has ever been brought off in th'ls city. Shortly after the meeting the two box ers went in separate . directions, Britt to his father's home and Young Corbett to the baths, where he wlU take ar little ' light exercise and prepare for a rest prior to weighing in at ( o'clock tonight. Both fighters are at weight and in the pink of condition for the fray, and the : battle will be one that will be worth the ' big prices being paid for seats, which, , by the way, in large numbers have got into the hands of speculators, who are shouting their wares in front of the . pool rooms this morning and selling at exorbitant figures. The five dollar seats are going at $10 and $12.60, and Harry pollock, the well known New York sport ing man, -who is here with hahdsful of Corbett money to bet, paid 1150 for II of the pasteboards. , j Howl Over Odds. : There was a great deal of talk at the poolrooms' this morning over the bet ting, and while a number of the Corbett bets have been placed at 2 tovl, there is an awful howl over the odds. . The break has been made, however, -and be-, fore night it will be flowing the Corbett way like water through a break in the levee. Britt money has tightened up to the surprise of the talent, and " there were loud shouts from' the counter for a chance to place Corbett at 20 to1 11, 'with few takers. Biitt's managers say that they will have full pockets' at the afternoon session, and that-there win be no lack; of coin when the betting straightens out. Britt said this morning that the re port that he was playing for right-hand punches against his usual style of left handed fighting is not correct.- He is going to poke away with his left just as In days, of yore, and he is depending ,upon that member to lead him-to vic tory. He will avoid now. flghting",and punch for the stomach with a fair and square wallop. His tactcs will be, to have Corbett do most of the leading. . , j ' Corbett Zs Confldev;;''W-'V ' Corbett was reticent and said that he had no plan of action that he cared to make public. "I am confident of suc cess," he added, "and that-is all I can A say in addition to what I have already told you about my condition." The pen Verite was in the est of . humor , and looked more amiable-thai is -his wont. During his training he became very peevish: but Harry Tuthill, his jtralner, explained that this Is, customary with men who underfrotthe rigorous work of getting down to weight - "Spider" Kelly, Brltt's trainer, and Tuthill had a long conference in a side room at Corbett's and arranged all pre liminary programs to the satisfaction of both. Trainers wyi stay, close to their jnen all day and attempt to allow the principals to completely relax from the arduous work of the past 10 days. , At o'clock all who will take part, directly or indirectly, in the contest will meet at "Corbett's to witness the welghlng-ln. There will be only the fight principals and promoters, referee and the news paper men admitted. MULTNOMAH WINS FROM Y. H. C. A.

Oxford nd Cam bridge oarsmen meet on the Thames tideway' tomorrow to determine whether the daf k-blue or the light-blue, shall fly to victory. Connoisseurs' of rowing without -exception agree that Mr. 'Tay lor, the celebrated Cambridge coach, has every reason to hope to win, yet Ox onians declare that their eight will make a heroic effort to snatch the - laurels from- their rivals' grasp. ; Much may depend on , the toss. If Oxford wins it may . gain a considerable advantage by choosing . a - sheltered position, ; ' Then, should a Cambridge oar or rowlock come to grief, or should the coxwsia momentarily lose his head,, the . buoy ant wearers of the pale blue might suf fer defeat., ' However, accidents aside, Oxford is scarcely expected to do more than prove a respectable second. There is as much Interest in the event as in any previous year, and the contest between the picked oarsmen of the twe universities promises to be witnessed by an Immense throng of spectators, al though, owing to , the , court being in mourning for the Duke of Cambridge, there will be no royalties on the banks.

The races between Oxford and Cam bridge date back to 1836, vajien they wert rowed in tubs over the course from Westminster to Putney. ; Sine 1844 the contesting oarsmen have swept the his toric path along which the struggle to morrow will be waged, from Putney, to Mortlake, but in the meantime the rac ing craft have evolved from crude, un wieldy skiffs into the keelless, outrlgged shells that skim over the water like swallows. 8Ildlng seats were used by the crews for the first time in H7I. ;.v -v; , OYHirASTS TO XEET.

'This year, however, the rule failed to work, and instead of Fresno enjoying the brightness and gentle warmth of sum mer, the rain, came down In torrents, while Portland had one of the gentlest and brightest days of the year. The fans regret that Portland did not play, as all were looking forward to the game with ' unusual interest. Los Angeles opened with an Immense attendance and trounced the Oakland Aggregation.

Morley OREGON CITY FANS WANT A BALL TEAM '(Journal Special SerTlee.) Oregon City, March 25. The local baseball-players are beginning to won der what, is the matter -with the Ore gon City people on account of no steps being taken to organise a ball team. Most of the players have signed with ether teams, and, unless the promoters of the sport are active they will lose the rest of the players who are stay ing on in the hope of playing at home for the season. Salem has secured two of the Oregon City, players of last year. They are Evelyen Calif f, pitcher, and Ward Lee, left-fielder. Calif f needs no Introduction, and Lee has won himself renown with his stick, being the high man for hitting on tbe Oregon City team for the past three years. He is anxious to get in the ' game again, and it is to be regretted that Oregon City will lose such a good hitter. Roy' Martin, Ore gon City's catcher is in town from Van couver. He has a number of proposi tions for backstop work for the com ing season, but is undecided. He has received offers from Salem and Van couver. On the other, hand, he has a business proposition in Washington that looks good to him, and he does not know whether to wear cleats the coming sum mer or assume the dignified position of a business man., ' .

Puzzle: Which is champion? Figure it out . Four-hit games - and ' shutouts are starting rather early .this season, but well, the blankety-blank foul-strike rule Is in effect. A .200 batting average will be at a premium this season. Umpire McCarthy at 'Frisco was any thing but lasy. He worked as hard as any. of the players, and was right there on every play, v Three of San Francisco s four hits were from the bat of Waldron.; The fourth hit was contributed by Pat Meany.
