i' The following signed statement was
given W. W. Naughton, the well-known
sporting writer, by , Champion Jeffrie
last Tuesday. It shows the boilermaker's
confidence tn himself:
"Am mighty glad to get back to Oak-
- bind as a place for the conclusion of my
training work. Hirbln Springs is f
eplendid place, but" trifle too warm at
'"this time of year for the kind of work
" that I want to do. The last two weeks
It WM awfully warm up there. When
at work the heat never usea 10 uuuin
ana much, but an hour or two after-
.wardUthe perspiration would start and
keep op until I began to fear ill results.
"" "I weigh 21S pounds today, and in this
coot weather expect to experience no
trouble In reducing six or eight pounds
during the week. My gymnasium work
this afternoon was as hard as any that
Z hare undertaken on, a stretch since
commencing'' at the springs. Oh, but X
feel fine tonight! Wny4 I could go into
-: the ring tomorrow and put up the fight
' ef my life.
rWhat do I think about the betting
on tha fight? Well, I haven't thought
anything about it yet and, to tell the
, truth, I donjpcare much either, What 1
. want to da W to win the fight, and that
purpose la occupying all my attention at
present However, from what I have
- beard people aay, I suppose that they
will make me a favorite.
"JAMES J. JEFFRIES."
j- - FITZ WILL. BE CAREFUL.
' If the boxing indulged In by Bob Fits
' Simmons afforded any Inkling of the kind
, Of fight ha intends to put up against
Jeffries, It la safe to prophesy that the
Cornlahman will battle along careful
lines when he tries to reclaim the cham
pionship from the burly boUermaker.
,To begin- with, Fltasimmons has a full
aixe 24-foot ring staked off In the canvas
coered gymnasium wherein he exercises
at Skaggs Springs.
- "That la the else of the ring we are to
fight in," explaina Fltasimmons, when
drawing attention to the' roped space in
, . which ha doea his practice boxing. "The
, articles call for a 24-foot ring, and the
dub managers must provide one."
This seems an Intimation that its
"'' aimmons considers a 24-foot inclosure
' Quite. small enough when striving against
tha man an Inch or two taller and prob
ably 60 . pounds heavier than himself.
JFita'a work with the gloves affords sub
- stantlal proof, however, that he regards
tha regulation slxe ring a proper, thing,
la. which to have championship fights.
Ha sits in one angle of the roped square,
his bUj hands encased in gloves of ox
' blood, hue. All the other corners of the
ring are occupied, -MianK unran ana
.."Soldier" Wilson. Each of the Cornlsh
,man'a sparring partners weal lemon
colored sparring mittens and it looks as
If Bob is about to engage in a battle
royal with his three stalwart adversaries.
He goes at them in turn, however, and
pars three three-minute rounds with
each, taking; the usual one-minute rest
between rounds.
" George Dawson, Flts's trainer, has
this to aay of his man:
'He is looking as well as ever he did,
and ha is living up to his looks In his
work. His wind la good,' and he can put
in a couple of hours of fast exercise
without showing any particular signs of
fatigue. , He boxes carefully and doea not
'allow his sparring partners to punch him
around to amuse visitors, as I am told
ha aaed to do when training for Jeffries
before. -Tha man who lays a glove on
Fitaaimmons now has to have a quick
aya and a quick hand, and he la lucky
If ha escapes a counter which will make
Ills Jaw ache." '
Jeffries is a steady favorite in the bet
ting, being quoted at Harry Corbetfs
last night at 2 to L The Bale of seats
promises to be a phenominal one. When
the box ofhee closed, last night, after
' being open only two days, there waa over
. SSOOO in the sack. This sale., surpasses
anything ever known in pugilism on the
Pacific Coast.

A Busy Justice.
The fame of Watilemaiir Seton, Justice
for the East Portland district, has
spread far and wide as an authority on
the performance of the marriage ceremo
nies. It was no sooner than the judge
had taken his position on the bench
than the couples began to arrive to have
the knot tied. Although the judge was a
little nervous at the outset, he is now
gaining that calmness which always
comes from experience.
Yesterday afternoon a young couple
presented themselves before hla honor,
and as usual the judge was asked to
perform the marriage ceremony. This the
judge consented to, and the knot was
tied quicker than the story can be told.
The couple were K. O. Barger and Miss
Mabel O. Campbell. A number of their
friends attended the ceremony.
