miles to the starboard of us. Orders
were at once given and the st. Louis
promptly changed her course.
AS soon as we got close enough to the

informing us that the vessel was in
sore distress and that the passengers
and crew desired to be taken off as

The first TO be taken from the Veen-

lowered to our boat. As soon as this was

were taken on board.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BOUT.
Great Interest Being Manifested In
the San Francisco Fight.

the San Francisco Fight.
SAN FRANCISCO, March PA great deal
of interest is being manifested in the re-
suit of the fight between Peter Jackson and
Jim Jeffries. which will be decided at Wood
wards pavilion tomorrow night. Both men
have finished their work in preparing for
the contest and from now until they meet
in the ring will take matters easy.
Jackson has undergone six weeks prep
aration, and much to the surprise Of his
the last week or ten days. In fact, he
has shown such good form in his practice
that those who thought him ''has been"
are now laying their money on him. He is
apparently strong, and, so far as boxing is
concerned. has lost none of his cleverness
or agility, still having those quick, peculiar
blows that won him so many battles. Jack
off but ten or fifteen pounds.
A close observer of pugilists has this to
say Of Jackson's chances:
Ponds upon Jackson's vitality. If he can
prove that in his case all precedents con-
corning age and fast living Of pugilists do
not apply to him. then he should prove the
to make the contest short one, realizing
that the longer it lasts the better it will
be for Jeffries However. if Jeffries de-
cides to force matters. he will find in Jack
son defensive fighter who has no equal
among heavyweights, and while Jeffries may
rough it a little he will not rush a la
Sharkey."
Youth and strength are the two principal
aids that Jim Jeffres will have on his side
His youth and strength will be pitted against
the science of Jackson and the rule has
generally been that youth counts more than
anything else in pugilistic encounters where
both men are more or less experienced. Jeff
ries has triie the advantage in height.
measuring six feet one inch. and weighs
more by about twenty pounds He Will
enter the ring at 215 pounds.
All things considered, it will be a con-
test between two of the largest men in the
pugilistic world today. and has been very
aptly styled the battle of the giants.'
the prospects of odds evening up by Tuesday
