IN READINESS FOR
TODAY'S Big FIGHT
Jeffries and Sharkey Will Battle
for Championship.
SPORTING MEN ARRIVING
Estimated That the Winner of the Mill
Will Draw About $3O,OOO-The
Seats Are Selling at
Handsome Figure.

New York, November with his skin
heavily Drowned, his face looking a trite
drawn his eyes clear and bright Jim JEFF
fries tonight nimbly stepped off the train
at the Pennsylvania railroad station in Jer-
sey City. Sharkey will not arrive until TO-
morrow. The heavy weight champion OF
THE world had come up on the half past
four train from his training quarters at
Allenhurst, accompanied by his brother
Jack, Tommy Ryan and Billy Delaney
Having exchanged greetings With his
friends, the broad-shouldered Californian
walked brislxly toward the ferry boat and
came over to this city. On his arrival at
the Twenty-tlhrd street ferry he and his
trainer jumped into cab and were driven
to the Vanderbilt hotel where he will re-
main until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
when he will leave for Coney Island. As
Jeffries walked into the hotel, comment on
the activity of the Californians legs and
general healthy appearance was heard.
Although Sharkey had planned to come to
the city tonight he changed his mind at
THE last moment and decided to remain at
his training quarlters at Newdorp Staten
Island, until tomorrow morning, when he
Many sporting men from different parts
OF the country arrived in the city tonight.
They all came here to see the big battle.
Delegations from Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Minneapolis, Denver, Omaha, Gin
cinnati, Louisville, Washington, Baltimore,
Boston and many southern cities registered
at the hotels. Many of the visitors seemed
to favor Sharkey, but they asked for odds
of 10 to 6, and as a result they made few
wagers.
The sale of seats for the contest has been
enormous, and the indications point to the
largest assemblage ever seen at ring side
in this country. Every box and more than
half the reserved seats have been sold up
to midnight tonight. AS the management
of the Coney Island club is charging $40
more for box seats than was ever asked
for championship battle in this vicinity
before, all concerned will reap a rich har-
vest. The winner of the contest will re-
ceive three-quarters of &c 2-3 per cent. of
the gross receipts. 1t was estimated to-
night that the winners share would be
about $50 000-qutte a snug sum for an
evenings work
Jeffries and Sharkey are scheduled to en-
ter the ring at 9:45 o'clock. Each principal
has promised to be in the quarters at the
club house at $3.50. Jeffries' dressing room
will be on the west side of the building
the same he occupied when he fought Fhtz-
simmons. Sharkey will use the dressing
room on the east side of the building Pre-
ceding the big event there will be ten
round bout between Kid Goulette, of Roch-
ester, and Tommy Moran, of Brooklyn.

PROMINENT FINANCIERS
Find More in Birmingham Than Was
Dreamed Of

Frank H. Harding, vice-president, and
Mr. Davis, director of the Orange County
Trust and Safe Deposit company of Middle
town, N Y, are in the city with Steiner
Bros, the bankers.
They represent great capital and are
themselves large investors. This is their
first visit to the district and they are en-
thusiastic about Birmingham. Everything
they have seen has pleased them. There Is
more here than they had dreamed of. The
progress of birmingham and the district
astonishes them. They see here great
promise of yet greater things.
1t is not improbable that Messrs. Harding
and Davis will make very important invest
ments in this district. They represent a
strong financial institution.

The new Fifth avenue entrance is about
completed and this will probably be used
for vehicles. 1t opens directly on the
driveway and anyone entering this gate can
drive around the entire grounds before
reaching the grand-stand which sits on the
opposite side of the track.
There will probably be no shows outside
the grounds. The license for such attrac-
lions is $50 per day and very few showmen
can see their way clear to put up this
amount for a side show performance.
The work on the Midway is progressing
rapidly and by the time the attractions ar
rive Sunday afternoon everything will be in
readiness for the grand opening.
Nothing has been left undone and when
visitors come to Birmingham next week
they will witness the greatest attraction
ever produced in Alabama.
