After calling on Fitz to-day I was in- troduced to Jim Jeffries, but I could not heve much talk with him by reason of the many visitors at his quarters. The most prominent was George Siler, who will referee the fight. I paid special attention to Jeffri manners, and I mut admit a favorable impression at fir sight. He a fine, strapping, liv locking fellow and is in the best possible condition, in my opinion. He is particu- larly confident, too, as are all in his camp. He refrained from any work while I was 1t, and I am Inclined to think that finished all preparations_and aiting his_meeting with Fitzsim- mons, with an inborn confidence of being returned a sure winner. For a man of his size he is remarkably quick and active, and apart from the out- come of his battle with Fitzsimmons, I am certain that the sturdy and ambitlous Californian® will cut quite a figure in the pugilistic world in the time to come. I am reluctant to give my opinion about Jeffries’ chances, but am induced to be Sincere with the public and say that I think he will suffer defeat at the hands of Fitz to-nigh HEAVY WAGERING HERE. | Nearly One Hundred Thousand Dol- lars Will Change Hands on the Outcome of the Fight. The meeting of Fitzsimmons and Jef- fries in the Coney Island Athletic Club ring for the championship of the world seemed the sole topic of con- versation on the street last night. Not- withstanding all the discussion, the sup- porters of each man remain steadfast in their opinions and refuse to have their faith shaken. This is reflected in the betting, the odds remaining unchanged throughout the day. The small bettors pin their faith to the Californian, the bulk of the wagering on Jeffries being in small amounts. Fitz- simmons, on the other hand, is being backed chiefly by the men who buy their tickets in bunches, few of the individual bets being under $100. It does not follow that all the big bettors favor the Cor- nishman. Johnny Coleman, the book- maker, bet $700 against $1000, taking tie Jeffries end. The betting was steady at Corbett's all the evening. In the paris mutuels a total of 2234 dollar tickets had been sold. Fitzsimmons was favorite on all but two lines. On one of these Jeffries found one more supporter than Fitzsimmons did. The following shows the way in which the money was placed: FITZSIMMONS.

As the Brooklynites all say: “We do not interfere with Tim Sulli- van's boxing clubs in New York, con- sequently we nand lar rights and privile If Chie letg 1 to put a stop d s fights proceed unmolested at the Lenox | and Broadway clubs, there is no good | reason why he should not follow the same policy toward the Coney Island “lub, which has complied with the re- quirements of the law good standin in the State. With confidence expr: 1is v other bo: just as g club as a ed that there | | will be no interference with the mill, | the army of sporting men naturally have turned their attention to the prin- | cipals, who have trained well and faith- | fully. To most men it looks like a vic- | tory for Fitzsimmons, chiefly because of his wonderful record in the*ring, and especially since coming to this country from the Antipodes. The fact that Fitz has won most of | his fights, too, with one terrific punch | anded on a vital spot is not overlooked. | The champion is much older than Jef- | fries, and will enter the ring at least | thirty-five pounds lighte: Jeffries will | tip the scale at about 206 pounds, which is the lowest he has trained to in his of the talk that Fitzsimmons r 158 pounds, it is learned most trustworthy source that on the scales [ will from a when the champion got u | on Wednesday he weighed 170% pounds.

Fitzsimm say statements to the . but he has ne no end of -rimenting with big enney, his rring partner, who is | almost as weighty as Jeffries. Fitzsimmons has no equal as a ring general and schemer. He is quick- witted, -shrewd and full of tricks. For this reason, Jeffries will have to fight him warily until he believes he has the Cornishman’s measure. Fitzsimmons has never faced a man of Jeffries’ build and makeup. He has in the past had the advantage with his phenomenal reach, but in this instance he is out- classed. Jeffries has such a tremend- ous ach it .will not be at all surpri ing to see him fight Fitzsimmons with left hand jabs from the start, reserv- | ing right hand swings until later on. | The ker has been practicing defensive tactics mo; believes he can ke than attack, and p Fitzsimmons off. The latter is expected to fo tha | fighting from the start. In such an | event it is believed Jeffries wili stand away and try to “jab his block off, as the talent puts it. If successful in this method for half a dozen rounds or so, it is thought in the Jeffries camp he will have a fine chance to win, as his strength and stamiha are expected to assist him wonderfully. If, on the other hand, Jeffries should | decide to rush at once and mix it, it is the impression among critics that Fitzsimmons will get a chance to land one of his deadly hooks, all of which, in recent fights, have been delivered at short range. Jeffries not only stood the very aggressive Sharkey off in twenty rounds, but also beat him on points. This achievement is the basis | Know for Your- self Your Own Condi= tion.
