has received $500 to speculate any way
he sees fit. He picks Fitzsimmons to
| win. Edwards can't see why the ad-
herents of Fitzsimmons should be COM
| PEELED to give exorbitant odds, however
AT Corbettss cafe Harry .Bulger made
a wager on Jeffries of 5000 to $500 with
| Western man. Bulger wants to get
down $500 more at the same figures
| Leo Teller. manager of Weber & Fields,
| has $500 more with which TO back Fitz-
| simmons.
Joe 'Vendig wants to bet $1,000 on
Fitzsimmons, but will only give 500 to
$40. Milton Roblee found a taker for
500 to-day on Fitz. Roblee says ne
was forced to give 2 to l. A bet of STOW
| to $1,000 was recorded at the Hotel
| Marlborough. A man named Kline OF
Frisco took the short end. Tickets for
the mill will not be on sale until next
| Wednesday.
In order to avoid counterfeiting,
pasteboards can only be purchased by
addressing either w. A. Brady, Man
| haitian theater, New York, or Martin
Julian. Union Square hotel. Some tick
| cts, however, will be for sale at the
principal hotels and sporting resorts
about a week before the mill The up
to-date orders for the contest aggregate
about $4,000 already. The talk that the
affair will be stopped when it gets
trifie warm is not disturbing the pro-
| moters of the mill. Brady is to have
talk with Kid Lavigne's brother to-
| morrow for the purpose of clinching
maj ch between the lightweight cham
pion and Spike" Sullivan, or possibly
| Frank Erne, for the night of June ..
1t is quite likely that the club may hold
a two-day carnival and bring some good
! boxers together.

, the big fight-victory for the Cornish
man. says Willie Green. while JEFF
fries is a giant in stature, SO was Co
| Hath. Giants are as vulnerable as Or
! binary men. Jeffries is practically
| novice, while Fitzsimmons is as clever
a ring general as lives. Could Jeffries
lay hold of Fitzsimmons and keep him
in 'chancery' he might win, but when
he has to first locate and then capture
| the willy blacksmith there is little
chance for him to win the battle. He
is too slow-knows too little of the real
science of boXinS--has had too little eX-
perience. F'itZsmmons should keep the
big boilermaker guessing until he is in
Queer street., and then step in and end
the contest. The result may be differ
ent. Accidents happen. No man starts
on a railroad journey expecting to be
thrown down an embankment. But
that is the sort of an accident that
must happen for Jeffries to defeat Fitz-
simmons in a ring contest under
Queensberry rules
There will be another ring contest on
June that will attract almost as much
attention as will the go between Fitz-
simmons and Jeffries Tommy Ryan.
the Syracuse star, and his old-time foe,
Mysterious Billy Smith, are to meet
. for a 20-round battle for the weller
weight championship and a good-sized
purse. The fight should be of the
warm order. The men have met on
previous occasions, and, though Ryan
+ has a bit the better of it on the record
Smith made the Syracuse boxer hustle
and will likely do so again. Just how
+ the managers of the Fitzsimmons-Jef-
= fries affair overlooked the fact that the
E Ryan-Smith fight was scheduled fol
June is mystery. That was bi
,, of bad judgment, for the welters vii

Thomas Sharkey, one of the man,
heavyweight pugilistic champions, ha
run across the continent to spend few
! days in this city, says the Examiner
His appearance last night on Marke
street created a bit of a sensation
among the sports who frequent tina
Z thoroughfare. He will get away in tim
