By JAMES J. CORBETT. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12 Why Jim Jeffries should be favorite over ime ly our fight Friday night fs something { myself cannot Mure out. Prooably tt ls the abundance of money the bellavers in Jeffries have which gives him that distinction, 1 thoroughly understand that «bout elght out of ten people tgure that Jeffries will be returned the winner ‘That does not worry 1 want to way that 1 know Jeffries and his ability better than th folks who are counting on my defeat. Here ix why 1 should ite In the betaing When | was in comparatively poor shape I stood the big fellow off for twenty-three rounds. Here I am gving to box him twenty when I am at my very Vest. I have studied Jeffries, I think I know his weak points, as few as they are. 1 will show them to aome peuple on the night of the fight Now, regarding my condition, 1 guess everybody knows that I must be near to perfection, 1 have worked hard and jong to acquire it. ‘The work has agreed with me. I sleep like a babe, and the fact that I am going to meet the biggest man in the ring causes me no worry. 1 am going to try to win by a knockout, and am sure I will nucceed and thereby upset the old tradition that no champton ever regained hia lost Iwurela, Maybe I will be unsuccessful in my try for the knockout, but I am reasonably eure Jeffries will not beat mo, If the Aight goes the limit I will win on points I am going to work right up to the day of the fight. Of course I will do nothing heavy—just enough to keep me keen and on edge all the time. To-day I may take my Iant (fing at the heavy equipments of the gym- nasium. 1 will take @ long walk and Intersperse It with some short sprints, Then to-morrow and Friday I will do nothing but go a few rounds with the light punching-bag and box several rounds with Yank Kenny and Sam Berger. My friends in New York must not think I have overdone my work. [ am in fine shape, confident of winning, and if fortune does not smile on me I will be the frat one to shake Jeffries's hand and tell the world that he in a better man than Iam. There will be no excuse about poor shape in my case. FITZ PUTS UP $10,000 ON JEFFRIES AGAINST $8,000 Jeffries and his retinue have left Harbin Springs and taken up quarters at Oakland, where he will remain until the day of the fight. Corbett entertained a number of his visitors at his quarters in Alameda \and gave a dicplay of his tactics and an exhibition of his athletic course of training, He has been examined by the physician of the Yosemite Club and been pronounced in perfect condition. Fitzsimmons's departure from Camp Jeffries is probably explained now in a little betting he has done, Probably acting as commissioner for Jef- fries, tne lanky fellow yesterday placed $10,000 against $8,000 on the cham- pion. The Corhett end of the bet was taken by George R. Webster, of the Central Theatre. Checks were put up and placed in the hands of a stake- holder. | lt has been a hard matter to understand how “Fitz” got such good odds money in sight and that in a measure may have influenced the betting. to an authentie source. worth miore from people from oul of town, Edgar 8.

The situation here is very odd. The wise sports who have been watch- ing the training stunts of the two giants are somewhat at a loss to know how to go ahead. Corbett has been working hard and honestly to de- velop his hittIug abilities and at the same time to make himself as quick on the hoof as it is possible to do. His trainers and those who have visited him at his quarters all report him to be In-better condition, On the other hand, there are the faithful friends of Jeffries who say | that the giant will get there with a solitary punch. Of course the punch There has been a lot of dope sent out about both men, but the facts) stand this way to-day: Corbett is quicker and stronger than he ever was) and Jeffries can guard better and hit harder than he ever did. . A wise sport sald to-day that If Corbett would only follow the tactics! he pursued when he vanquished John L, Sullivan he would worry Jeftries| to death. But Jeffries has not lost any chances to get on to every possible curve. | In the narrowed-down opinion of the experts, as matters now stand) {t looka this way: Corbett will win if he can worry his man sick, and Jef-| fries to win must get home early with one of his deadly heart-stoppers. |BIG FIGHT BETTORS WILL UNLOAD BANKROLLS NOW.
