Iraining quarters at Shaw's Springs
we're crowded today and as it was
necessary for some of the athletes to
move, George Green, Dial Hawkins and
Spider Kelly. the two last named arriv-

another home. They picked out a
place at Genoa, a small village distant
about seven miles from Carson. The
most important arrivals of he Cay

Charley White, the New York trainer,
who will aid Billy Delaney as much
rs possible in looking after Corbett's
nterst. They reached the champions

being well pleased with Jims appear
Ance.
One Of the most interesting incidents
Of the day was Corbetts bout with ].
]. Jeffries, the California heavy weight
They kept at it continuously for Twelve
minutes, and while Jeffries was pretty
well pumped out at the finish, Coz bett
called for Billy Woods to take his turn
at the gloves. Jeffries is a young giant
whose muscular development, While not
equal to that of Tom Sharkey, is
patton a boiler maker and if he can
acquire a little more speed, Corhett
thinks he will eventually become a
great fighter.
Jeffries never took a boxing lesson
In his life and his practice with Cor
bett cannot but be of great berefit
to him. In his bout with Woods, who is
protected by pneumatic armpr, Curbett
does not cOnfine himself To tf pTirg,
but strikes with all his I:ght too
frequently for Woods ONT )rt. Tie
Rrmor does not appear to be such a
great protection after all, for once or
twice during this mornings bout,
Woods was almost put on the floor.
One blow. a right half-arm punch,
which caught Woods squareIy under
the chin, sent the Denver man reeling
10 the wall.
At FitzsimmOn's quarters today the
general routine was gone through with
About O'Clock the lanky fighter
started out for ten mile spin, return
Ing to the ranch feeling comparatively
fresh. After a rub down Bob sat
around the house killing time until
noon. This afternoon he gave a public
exhibition in the gymnasium in con-
nectiOn with his training, but only
about half a dozen spectators were
present. Crowds will probably begin
to flock to Cooks in a day or two,
when the fact that admission is granted
to-, see the pugilist work becomes gem
orally known, aOne dollar is the sra te
charged for transportation to the ranch
Rnd return, including admission to the
show. 1t is considered quite reason
able. F'itzsimmons started in by
punching the bag, giving a most arts
tic exhibition in that line. This was
followed by sparring with Roeber,
Hickey and Steiner.
Roeber surprised the big New Zealan-
der by jabbing him in the mouth with
his left and drawing a little blood.
AT the conclusion of nine fast rounds.
Fitzsimmons showed up comparatively
fresh while the others showed the eff
fects of the work. Fitzsimmons is
still suffering slightly from the effects
Of his cold.
Until both Corbett and Fitzsimmons
have shown the effect of the steady
training they are just starting on. all
predictions will be valueless. Corbett's
friends stay with him steadily. and
are as enthusiastic as ever about his
chances, while the admirers of Fitz
simmons seem to be increasing a
change brought about no doubt by the
excellent appearance of the Australian.
Billy Delaney watches Corbett close.
WhlIe- thoroughly satisfied with Jim's
Cond1uon, he is somewhat afraid that
Jim'S desire for work NAV rob him
of some of the steam which he now
possesses and leave him feeling stale
around fight time. Delaney has had
several talks with Corbett on the sub
ject and Jim has promised to ease
UP bit The effect Of the Californian's
eXertOnS is only evident in his face
when he finishes work and places him
self in the hands of his rubbers There
is no distress of breathing no dragging
of the limbs and no dropping of the
shoulders, but his features for a few
minutes have a drawn appearance.
When Splashed with alcohol and witch
hazel and his flesh Is slapped and
kneaded by his handlers, the color re-
turns In his cOuntenance and the eX-
preston disappears. Both Corbett and
Delaney appear to be pleased with
Jeffries, the latest addition to the
formers camp. OF his bout with Cor
bett. Delaney said:
Jeffr1eS is strong, active fellow and
quite clever. He made a very credit
able showing. I told him as soon as
he put on the gloves to go at Jim, and
do his level best to land as hard and as
often as possible. He carried out nv
instructions to the letter, and the re-
suit was a right good exhibition. Cor
belts feints bothered Jeffries con-
siderable. but nevertheless, he behav-
ed splendid1y. Jim hit him pretty hard,
but the Los Angeles boy took the hard
knocks in good part, showing that he
is game fellow, and just the right
man to give Corbett plenty of hard
work In point Of reach and height,
Jeffries and the champion are very
evenly matched. and they shaped up
well. I thought Jim was a dead one.
after his fight with Sharkey, but his
bout with Jeffries today completely
changed my mind. Corbett never SPAR
red with better judgment in his life. He
also showed his old-time speed. 7 was
very agreeably surprised by his work,
can assure you, and now feel that
Jim can't lose"
Stuart has decided to leave the dates
for the Green-Smith and Flaherty-
Hawkins contests open for the present.
