CRECGAlNS ON
 THE BIG FIGHT The Pugtlfst Who Will Resort to Foul Tactics Must
 Suffer. Betting Is Now Very Spirited and Much Money Is Being
 Wagcred.

Jim Jeffries, who is now looked upon by the Eastern experts on boxing as the greatest heavyweight pugilist of the present day. has very little to say con- corning the battle he will engage In on Friday evening at Mechanics Pavilion with Tom Sharkey.
 In fact, when Jeffries Is asked for an opinion, he looks at you in amazement for moment. and then, with big, good natured smile, which illuminates his countenance, says:
 Well, what the deuce do I know about it? I'll be there on time and 1 guess the sailor will be on deck to meet me- can t venture an opinion, a I have not had lhe pleasure of meeting my prospective ap- ponent in a glove shake, but think the large gathering of sport lovers who will witness the contest will not retire from the pavilion disappointed-at least, so far my part of the engagement is COT, cerned.
 T certainly expect to win the match and without boasting I feel that four or five rounds will end the big dispute. am ready for a short siege or long siege. Of course l shall fight entirely Billy Delaney, and what he does not know about the game is certainly not worth much to any man in the business; I think he is the greatest general of in fact, never felt better in my life.' -
 AleXander GregSdlnS, the reIeree, Will have an opportunity on. this occasion of earning a reputation for one of two things: By deciding the contest prompt ly and regardless of what the gamblers may think, in favor of the man who will fight strictly in accordance with the rules of Queensberry. he will earn an honora- ble record and the respect of all fair minded sportsmen: while, on the other hand, If Greggains shall permit of such palpable infringement or the rules as will disgust the spectators, who expect to see a clean contest, then he can safely coune upon receiving the same treatment that has been accorded some Of the local referees whose conduct as referees has been unpardonable.
 Of course there will be unintentional fouls. In every. flstic contest some foul orally overlooks them after having eau toned the contestant to be careful.
 Greggains is well aware of the fact that Sharkey so far forgets himself when he once enters into the heat of battle that blows aimlessy directed may land on any part of his opponents anatomy. Accord ing to an agreement entered into between the referee and the contestants, Greg gains distinctly informed both men that he will not tolerate any foul fighting, and that the man who shall resort to rough and unfair work in the hope of thereby win ming the match will most assuredly lose the contest.
 s'I may overlook few unntentional er- rors," said Greggains, but after I have once cautioned either man. then the of- fender may expect to hear Judgment passed against him should he disobey my orders.
 In conversing yesterday on the probable outcome of the contest, Greggains said favor to either man and that he will fol- low the rules out to the letter.
 You sec" remarked Referee Greggains, "both of the men know just as we'll as I

POLYCLINlC
 DAY 4 SUCCESS Large and Stylish Crowd Viewed the Racing
 at Oakland.
Fleet Footed May w Scam pered Away With the
 Handicap.
Mir. Hobart and Joe Ullrasn Took the Gentlemen Riders Race-Three
 Favorites Were Beaten.

"Polyclinic day. at Oakland track yes terday attracted a large crowd. Racing folks are apparently no different from other people, and when asked to donate to @ worthy cause will respond. The regular race-goers were mustered in full force and society was well represented in the grand stand. The varying fortunes of one following the turf received vivid illustra- tion as though arranged for the occasion, heavily played favorites and the loosely backed and despised outsider passing the wire in front For the benefit of the up per ten, a race for gentlemen riders was arranged which served as the occasion for Mir Walter Hobart to show of his horse manship to good advantage.
 The sport throughout was far above the average, the different events all being well contested. The game appears to be still travelling along at an even clip, for although this will be the final meeting of the racing season sixteen bookmakers were laying prices in the ring. After three favorites had been bowled over the remaining three won In clever fashion.
 The polyclinic handicap was rather a disappointment, for of the original large number of entries but five faced the bar Tier. The fast Calgary mare, May w, WAS played down in the betting from to 5 to to 5, and with Gouin on her back won in a common canter in 1:411a. In hard

 The race for gentlemen riders was de pr1ved of all interest from the fact that Joe Ullman, the mount of MT. Hobart, outclassed the others shoes to plates. A prohibitive favorite in the betting, he won easing up from Wawona- Wawona, Huntsman and Metaire finished in the or der named.
 The sport began with the downfall of a heavily played choice. Bellicoso was sent to the post a to chance, but Zamar led all the way and won hands down from Mocorito, with the favorite in the show.
 Then Bonibel, another pronounced fla vortte, was completely showed under in the two-year-old event at five furlongs. Modwena, the third choice, with Piggott fin the saddle, was out in the lead from the start, and at the wire downed Sweet Cakes In a gallop.
 The starters In the mile and a sixteenth were a most ordinary lot and an upset was looked for. It came when Olive, 40 to l chance in the ring, led Hermanita out with pounds to spare. The latter with Lodestar held first call in the betting. Clawson on Lodestar managed to get away last of the bunch and never im- proved his position.
 In the final five furiong dash St. Gala tine outclassed her company, and ruling a slight favorite over Stepabout in the ring, passed her company in the stretch and led Amasa, a 15 to l shot, out by couple of lengths with plenty in reserve. Lady Ashley was a good third.
