Thinks Jake Will Win.

New ORLEANS, July 5.--[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. -Kilrain arrives tomorrow
morning. Rooms have been prepared for
him at Colonel Walkers famous suburban
resort at West End, distant some four miles
from New Orleans. The Southern Athletic
CLUB has also provided suitable quarters at
their house, but it is hard to say where Jake
will stay. The BEE representative had a
pleasant chat to-day with Mike Donovan and
amongst other things he stated that Kilrain
would accept the Southern clubs
hospitality. All the sports, includ-
ing Sullivan and Kilrain, go out
to West End tomorrow night to witness a
swimming match. Donovan spoke about
Kilrain's condition. He SAID;
"Wait till you see him. venture to say
that no prize fighter ever was in such abso-
lutely perfect shape as Jake is, and L am
equally sure no man ever trained as honestly
as he has. DO l think he will whip SuCivana
Why, am sure of il. No man in America
has the fighting powers of these two men
down finer than l have, and have no hest
tation in saying te you that Kilrain will have
no difficulty in knocking the big pug galley
west.n
Donovan's opinion was echoed by good
many genuine sports. The local papers are
slobbering all over Bud Renaud's manage
ment of affairs, but Manager Alleyn, of the
Western Union, with Chief Electrician Fem,
coroborate me in saying that the so.called
arrangements are a farce. Renaud or his
aides have appropriated all the tickets to the
papers that can be depended on to boom Sui
livan.
After seeing Sullivan exercising to-day
and taking his spin at the gymnasium on
Rampant street, splendid opportunity was
afforded to size the Boston fighter up. He
jumped the rope 600 times and quit wlnded.
His legs trembled. He is nothing like the
Sullivan of yore. When punching the bag
the back muscles stood out like cords and
apparently worked smoothly. His arms are
fluffy and have no shape TO them, being
about as big at the wrist as at the muscle.
With the exception OF the arms he Ia all
right from his chest up, his breadth of chest
being magnificent, but as you go down you
can see what a wreck he is of his former
self. When he had punched the bag half an
hour he was called off and seemed glad of it..
A prominent physician stood by while this
was going on, and TIE BEE man asked him
his opinion about these manifest defects.
The reply was:
'ryphoid fever always leaves it's mark.
Sullivan may not know it, but it is true all
the same, and when he faces Kilrain his eX-
ciuement will be terrific. Nothing can re-
strain him. That disease tells at such a
time"
There is one thing sure, the friends OF
John l.. are watching him like cat watches

Muldoon mas quit trying to reduce his weight
What is now being done is to prevent the fat
accumulating Cleary has not done much
kicking to-day.
The Herald, Sun, World, Tribune, and all
of the New York papers have their men here
AT this writing the betting is 10 to in
favor of Sullivan. Wakely has made the
first combination, betting that Sullivan gets
first fall, first blood and wins the fight. II
Jake wins one of the three Wakely loses.
