It rather pleased him to know that this was so as in every battle he has won he was always con- sidered out of the running. In speaking of his coming contest he said: “I feel strong. My hands are in fine shape and 1 have been extremely’ fortu- nate in my training. No eccidents have happened and when I enter the arena I will have no excuses to offer and I hope my opponent will not have any. I held Jeftries too lightly in our previous battle. but I will fight more carefully to-night."” Fitz will indulge in a brisk walk this morning and will then take things easy until he enters the ring. He will be seconded by George Dawson, Hank Grif- fin, W. T. Haberly and a local man. DOES LIGHT WORK. Jeffries did light gymnasium work in the morning and in the afternoon fook a row on Lake Merritt. His gymnasium work consisted of rope-jumping, toying with the pulley weights and wrist ma- chines. He was given a massaging and went to lunch. Jeff rowed for half an hour and was again taken in hand and rubbed down.

Fights a Clever, Careful Bat- tle and Wins in the Last Minute. R — Joe Gans, champlon lightweight boxer of the world, took fifteen rounds to de- feat Rufe Turner of Stockton last night tefore the Acme Club, Oakland. Gans fought a clever, careful battle and punished Turner severely. Contrary to expectations Turner showed great game- ness, taking blow after blow that would have given any boXer an excuse to stay on the mat. Gans scored. nine clever knockdowns and Turner always took the limit on the floor. | ~Turner stood Gans off in the third, fifth | and sixth rounds, and had Al Hereford, | Gans’ manager, looking anything but | happy. A left swing in the fifth stag- Egered Gans. It was a trifle high. Had | it landed on the jaw there might have been a new lightweight champion. Gans’ guard seems almost perfection. | seems covered with gloves and few biows reach their mark. Many of the blows which the spectators Lhou?hl’. had landed were stopped before they did any damage. For a time the speotators thought Gans was not trying to stop Turner, but this | sentiment changed when it was seen he . was taking no chances of leaving an opening for Turner. He had heard of his strength and cleverness and was wary. There was a dispute over the weighing | in. It was given out, officially, that Tur- ner was a half pound .over the stipulated weight of 135 pounds and that Gans was underweight. Turner’s seconds . claimed this was an error and that their man was well within the weight, Some experts were of the opinion that Gans was drawn too fine to do himself full justice. His ribs were sharply de- fined and there was no surplus flesh vis- ible on his body. It is doubtful if he can ever fight at 133 pounds. The attendance taxed the Exposition building to its capacity. Before 8 o'clock the gallery was packed and the sale of seats discontinued. The major portion of the spectators were from this ecity. E. J. Smith was referee and acquitted himself creditably. The gong saved Turner for the first time in the fourth round. A left swing to the jaw sent him down the first time. He stayed down nine seconds. Gans' right and left beat a tattoo on Turner's head and down he went again. Before the ten seconds elapsed the gong sounded ‘‘cor- ners. | The sixth was Turner’s best round, but in that he did not seem to have Gans in distress. The latter biocked a lot of hard | blows. Turner was down in the eighth, | but came back fighting. He went down twice In the tenth, a right uppercut drop- ping him on his stomach. When he stood - | up ne was knocked through the Topes. | The bell saved him. | Gans sent Turner staggering across the |ring in the thirteenth round . with | Stratght right. Gans then peppered him with right and left. Turner had no de- | fense. He was down twice in this round. | He was In bad shape when the bell | saved him. The last two rounds were repetitions of this. Just before the end of the fifteenth and last round Gans scored with his right and left to the head. Turner's tremendous recuperative power, so much in evidence throughout the fight, had vanished, and he was counted out. He recovered immediately. Louie Long stopped Hugh McGordan in four rounds of a scheduled six-round bout. This was a particularly fast fight, Long showing all the gameness. Both men were badly punished. Cyclone Kelly and Herman Miller fought an eight-round draw. = Kelly should have had it on points but the spectators were against him because of his rough tactics. Miller has a ‘“caull- flower ear” and Kelly rubbed it at every opportunity, a_trick which the spectators resented. Kelly was the cleverer of the pair_and never gave Miller an oppor- tunity to get set. Kelly sent his right to the heart repeatedly, Miller taking a tremendous punching. ' In the sixth Kelly outroughed Miller. TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE DECIDED MONDAY CHICAGO, July 24.—The flnals in the ‘Western tennis championship tournament will be fought out to-morrow between ‘Waidner and Collins, two team mates of the Kenwood Tennis Club. The winner | will meet Champion Little Monday for the championship. Alexander of Princeton, who was considered a probable winner of the championship, was defeated to-day in | the semi-finals by Waidner after a hard and brilliant contest. Patterson, the Canadian, proved an easy victim in the semi-finals for Collins.
