Corbett spent his time between
breakfast and noon doing as near moth
ing as he possibly could. Shortly after
lunch he took up the mass Of letters
that comes to him daily and began to
read the freak letters. He made rapid
progress with the large amount of cor
respondence. COrbett makes it a rule
to answer all letters unless they are

CORBETT AT WORK.
Shortly after o'clock this afternoon
Corbett donned his long bath robe and
hurried into the wOodshed, where he
toiled away at the little windlass with
which he develops his strength in the
hands and forearms, and then punched
the bag for twenty minutes. This work
over, he sprinted for the handball
court and spent three-quarters of an
hour in the hardest kind of work, all
gone through without the slightest

that gent a trif1e nervous. Then he
took on Edgren for a round, then Nc
Vey came out to be knocked around the
handball court in the Iiveliest kind of
a manner for three minutes of wrest-
ling Billy Woods, with his air
cushions, was to have closed up the
series of workers. Jim seems to have
an especial dislike for the parapher
MALTA in which Woods encaseS himself
and he loses no time in showing it.
The other day as soon as Woods put up
his hands Corbett swung hard on his
left pneumatic ear muff with a force
that sent Woods staggering across the
room and created a puncture in the
air cushion that ornamented the side
Of Mr.. Woods ear muff. Mr.. Woods is
a good-natured man in the main, but
all this liberty with his wind protectors
does not suit him at all, and he waded
into Corbett as hard as he could, but he
did not wade extremely far. Corbett
kept out of his Way easily, and now
and then put in a left arm poke just
to keep Woods stirred up Woods did
not like it, and so he was not working
today
After the champion had gone through

Hampton and Joe Corbett played hand
ball with him, several games being
reeled off in rapid succession. All
told Corbett worked two and a halt
hours and finished in excellent shape.

Jim, land I will keep right on getting
better until the time of the fight, and
if l meet no accident such as is likely
to happen to any man in training, I will
give a very good account Of myself It
ought to be
A GOOD FIGHT"
he said, musingly, for it is certain
that FitZsimmons and myself are the
two best men in the fighting business
today. There is no man who can beat
either one Of us, and if we are ever
beaten by any outsider it will be by
somebody who is going to school at
present. / mean by that the man who
is going to lick Fitzsimmons or me has
not grown up yet. The thing lies be-
tween US two alone, and the winner of

have known of some of the best young men
to be on the point Of giving up on account Of
their feet, and l have known of some to have
to surrender their badges in consequence of
it. The hours of duty are not so bad as
many imagine, but an officer is rarely on duty
more than eight out of each twenty-four
hours. His life is broken up into three sec
tons, eight hours on the street, eight TO
sleep and eight on reserve, which means
lounging about the station house. The task
of walking around beat for eight hours at

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

The New York club has prepared an ex-
ceedingly handsome souvenir pass which will
be issued to a few friends of the club this
season. The pass is of solid silver, encased
in black leather and is about the size of a
railroad pass. 1t bears the words extending
the courtesy of the polo grounds to the re-
cfpient of the pass in raised letters. In the
upper right hand corner is a laurel wreath
encirclng the seal of the club also raised.
Altogether it is the finest and most tasteful
thing in the way of base ball pass ever de-
signed.-New York Press.
