NEW YORK, June s.--Among those
who are considered to be authorities on
pugilistic matters in this vicinity, there
is a great difference Of opinion as to the
outcome Of the heavyweight fistic con-
test which IL to take place tomorrow
night between Peter Maher and Thomas
sharkey. Maher has three very decided
advantages. He Is three and one-quar..
ter inches taller, has longer reach and
more ring experience and science than
the sailor man.
For the past seven weeks Sharkey has
made his preparation for tomorrow
nights contest at Behm's hotel. near
New Dorp. Staten island.
Never did pugilist prepare for a
contest more earnestly. carefully and
faithfully than Sharkey has under the
guidance and advice of Joe Choynski,
Tim McGrath and Tom Lansing. Cho-
ynski has been very exacting and he has
found willing pupil In the sailor.
Sharkey has gone through the ordeal
splendidly, and his trainers and spar
ring partners speak Of him In the high
est terms and are unit in saying that
he will get through better than his coun-
tryman tomorrow night.
This was the last day Of hard work
for Tom. He got up this morning at 6
o'clock and took q mile walk before
breakfast. After breakfast he took a
ten mile run and though the roads were
In bad condition he returned to his quar-.
ters in good condition. He rested a
while after this and then took q short
run along the beach. At 8 o'clock he en-
tered the gymnasium and for an hour
and a half he had not an idle moment.
He punched the bag, skipped the rope.
used the wrist machine and dumbbells.
Then he boxed q few rounds with Cho-
ynski and Lansing. He looked to be In
first-class condition and there was net
an extra ounce of flesh visible, while his
muscles stood out prominently.
When asked whether he would win.
he said: ''Tell my friends in California
and all over that never felt better in
! win I will go after Bob Fitzsimmons
again and I will meet him within three
months. If defeated will have no ex-
cuse to OFFER"
.Choynski was equally confident Of the
sailors success, and said that he had
gone through his training much better
than had been anticipated.
9 He now weighs ITS pounds" said Joe.
s'and Ii as fit AZ 1t ID possible for man
to be. He will not do any more work uE-
til he meets Maher In the ring. and I am
satisfied that he will win."

CUTS OF COMMISSION
NOT WELL RECEIVED By SUB
AGENTS.
The New Board Of Fire Underwriters
Has Very Serious Trouble on
His Hands

SAN FRANCISCO, June S-When the
new compact between the fire insurance
writer's on the Pacific coast was formed
few weeks ago it was thought that
troubles which have besieged the in
surance world for the last year or so
were almost over. but the sub-agents OF
the city Of Stockton refused to agree to
cut of rs per cent in their commissions
and the trouble has broken out afresh.
The board Of underwriters have issued
an ultimatum to the effect that all
country agents must sign an agreement
to the cut or give up the business.
The insurance compact has selected
Stockton as the place to begin its battle
against league Of insurance men which
exists In various cities of California, iu-
cluding Stockton. Sacramento and San
Jose. The league was organized to re-
sist what the insurance agents consider
unjust action on the part Of the board.
A meeting Of the Stockton insurance
men will be held at once to decide upon
their action.
GROWING ANXIOUS
SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The news
from Stockton in relation to the refusal
agreement Is causing considerable un-
easiness. 1t Is the most serious trouble
the new board of fire underwriters has
encountered since its organization.
When the board was formed and rates
were advanced the compact decided to
cut the commissions Of agents to 20 per
cent for San Francisco. Oakland, Ala
media and Portland, and 15 per cent for
all other towns. The expectation was
that the agents would make pretty
much the same income on the higher
rates as they had made at rs per cent
and 30 per cent on cut rates. Still there
was behind the reduction an intention to
punish the interior towns for the ex-
ception in favor of Portland, which was
made solely because that city had form
ed local board and had not participat-
ed in heaSlaughter of rates.
Even the local city agents demurred at
signing this agreement and thus far but
fifty signatures have been obtained. In
the meanwhile the state board, as 1t is
called, has the matter of the action Of
city agents outside Of San Francisco in
regard to the agreement under consid-
Grafton. The time within which all the
agreements must be signed is June 10th,
and until then the compact will take nc
action in the matter.
The story which was current yester-
day afternoon that the Thuringa had re-
signed from the board, was denied en-
phatically by Manager Hall.
