Impression is 'growing among sporting
men here that the Butte man la liable to
put up a much better fight against the
champion than it was generally believed
he would when the match was made. The
big miner is a glutton for work, can
stand punishment, can hit hard, and has
plenty of courage. Moreover, he Is not
only willing, but ahxlous to learn. Thle,
with. 110 or more pounds of fighting
brawn, makes a combination which is
liable to make trouble for any man.
Jeffries realises It and the big fellow

left the east that he had no Intention
Of underrating his task. Few, .if any,
believe Munroe will win. but there are
lots of expert who expect him (o put

will not be easy to pick.
Track la Condition.
The track at Gravesend and Sheeps-

that ever looked through a bridle are
being prepared for the season's work, are
In prime shape now, and everybody about
them are as busy as men can be. New

the etac at Gravesend Are McChesney,
Dick Bernard, Stevedore and Witchcraft
of Frank Taylor's string. Other good
ones here are Afrikander, Right Royal,
Astarlta, Beldame, Charles Elwood,
Mamie Worth, and scores of others less
well known. They, are all In prime con
dition for the season, and some speedy
try-outs already have been had.
At Sheepshead . Bay, Wa&rboy and
Hamburg Belle are the stars. Joyner
has gotten them well along In their
training, and they will both be ready to
race when the time Comes.

been made from the Excelsior Handicap,

Jamaica. They are Hurstbourne, Race
King, Gold Dome, Mamie Worth, Jack
Ratlin, Captain Buckle, Mexican, 1 and
Lero Reed. Others are expected from
distant! point today-or tomorrow, 1 but
the email number of withdrawals makes
It reasonably certain that a large field
of good quality will face the starter.
Hurstbourne has been considered a likely
starter in the event, but a the other
Leeds eligible. Major Dalngerfleld, is

the event He la In good shape at pres

Mamie Worth's withdrawal doea not de

E. E. Smathers has not yet declared Mc

a chance that one or both may be sent
