\ LOVE OF y BONNET BEE On
JEEFR1ES.
AGREES TO A CLEAN BREAK
Which Shows, il is Said, that fiiz is Afraid Of
the Cafornian's Driving Machinery
Kid Mccoy Says fiz is
a Marvel.

New York. June S.-Everything is in
readiness for the big fight tomorrow
night between Bob F'itz>immonso and
Jim JeffrieS, and with the possible eX
ceptiOn of police interference, or an
unlocked for accident to either one OF
the principals, the fight will take place
as scheduled in the arena of the Concy
Island Sporting Club.
Brady and Julian seem to be confident
that the contest will be permitted to 10
to a decision without amy untoward III
cident so far as the legal authorities are
concerned. t'itz is still prime fayorltr
in the betting, but there is plenty cr
Jefferies money in sight and while no
large wagers have as yet been recorded,
there is no doubt that with growing
confidence in the ability of the promot-
ers to pull off the mill successfully the
betting will assume large proportions by
tomorrow.
Everything was put aside today ut the
training quarters of both pugiliSts, both
men doing very little work ,Jeffries
punched the bag for a few minutes, and
after Il brief spell of practice with the
medicine ball skipped the rope couple
of hundred times.
George Siler, who is, to referee the
contest, was one of the visitors ut the
cottage occupied by Jeffries. Sier
was accompanied by his wife. who told
Jeffries that she had bet new bonnet
on his chances. When asked with
whom she had made the bet she laughed
and said: "A very dear friend of minc
who will pay for the bonnet in case
IeffreS wins
Mr.. Siler Said. in conversation with
JeffIdes and his trainer Billy Delaney,
that FitZSimmOns had agreed TO Il clean
break Delaney claimed that a clean
break means great deal to E'itzsm-
mons, and shows that Bob is afraid of
Jeffries' driving machinery.
Jeffries with his trainer Billy Delaney
and his sparring partners. Jim DAILY,
Tommy Ryan, Jack Jeffries and Marty
McCue, will leave Allenhurst, \. j..
early tomorrow morning over the Penn
sylvania Railroad and will 90 direct to
Coney Island.
Everyone of the .IeifrieS part%, iuclud-
ing the big fellow himself, scents conf
dent of the CaIifornians victory. and
none of them look for the battle to last
over ten rounds.
t'itzsimmonS drove to the Coney Island
Club House accompanied by Nank
Kenney, Jack Everhardt Dan Hickey.
Martin Julian and kid Mccoy.
As soon as IFitzsdmmOns reached his
dressing room he and Kenney stripped
to the buff and donned their fighting
toys They entered the ring and SPARED
thrpp fast rounds only exchanging light
taps. The work Of both men WAS close
ly watched by Il number Of experts, the
most prominent Of whom was Kid Me
Coy. who has posted a 81 600 forfeit in
the hands of George Siler to bind Il
match with FitZsimmons.
After the men had retired to Their
dressing room Mccoy declared That
FitzsimmOns was a wonder. but the md
would mot say positively what his inn
pressions were as to the outcome of the
II chit tomorrow night.

The evening times., 1899-10-17

BALTIMORE, Oct. I7.-B. NJ Baker,
president of the Atlantic Transport Line,
appreciating, as he says, the protection to
the steamers of his company under the
British flag, last week eabled to Williams,
Torrey C Field. the agents OF the company
at London, as follows:
Offer Her Maiesty's Government the choice of
the steamers Maine, Maryland, or Montana as
hospital ship during the continuance OF the war,
fully manned, absolutely free, with permission to
make any alteration necessary.
A return cable said:
The government accepts offer. Maine will prob
ably be accepted.
This proffer of a hospital ship to the
British Government Is repetition OF Mr..
Bakers action during the late war be-
tween the United States and Spain. He
placed the Missouri at the disposal of the
United States Government and paid the
expenses Of the ship until the Government
decided to keep her in that service and
bought the vessel at its own price, Last
Saturday the Missouri arrived at Gibral-
tar, on her way to Manila, at time when
sister ship had been accepted by the
British Government to begin mission
similar to that which the Missouri had
taken up nearly two years before.
The Missouri went into commission Au-
gust %, 1898, as a gift from President
Baker to convey the sick and wounded
from Cuba and Porto Rico TO the United
States. Up to May, 1899. when the Govern
ment purchased the Missouri. she had car
ried as the benefeiaries of the Atlantic
Transport Company ,566 sick and wound
ed soldiers of the regular and volunteer
armies. Twenty-seyen men died ON the
many trips OF the ship, and twelve of them
were buried at sea A great number who
had joined the ship very Ill improved rap
idly and recovered completely. But for
the ship these men must inevitably have
died. as said by one of the surgeons on
board.
In letter to President Baker, who had
asked that the ships name should not be
changed after its purchase, an official of
high rank wrote him: Altogether, / can
conscientiousiy say that the ship has sue
cessfully accomplished the work for which
you so generously gave her to the Govern
ment. and | know OF no case OF such great
individual munifcence SO usefully bestow-
ed as the gift of the use of this fine ship
during the Spanish-American war l shall
use every effort in opposing any change of
name OF the Missouri which may be pro-
posed, as none could carry finer asssocia-
tions than the one under which she has al
wavs sailed
The rescue of the Denmark's passengers
and crew and the carrying of provisions to
the starving Russians are part of the
ships history.
The Maine is commanded by Capt Fred
eric Stone, and has long been in the At
lanttc Transport Line out OF Philadelphia
for London. Captain Stone and his crew
will be included in Mr. Bakers humanita-
rian offer.
