PUGILISTS READY FOR THE WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP

FEW YORK, Nov. with his skin
N heavily Drowned his face looking
vi a trife drawn. his eyes clear and
v bright, James J. Jeffries tonight
- nimbly stepped off the train at the
Pennsylvania Railroad station in Jersey
City.
Having exchanged greetings with his
friends the broad-shouldered Californian
walked briskly toward the ferryboat and
came over to this city. On his arrival at
the Twenty-third street ferry he and his
trainer jumped into cab and were driven
to the Vanderbilt Hotel, where he will
remain until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
Ing, when he will leave for Coney Island.
AS Jeffries walked into the hotel the
comment on his appearance was favor
able.
His shoulders appeared to be broader
than ever, but his limbs appeared rather
small After entering the hotel Jeffries
partook of a hearty supper and said that
he felt in excellent spirits.
The Call correspondent asked him If his
face was not a trif1e drawn He admitted
that 1t was. THE fact is" said the cham
pion, although I look thinner than when
I fought Fitzsimmons 1 am more solid,
and strange as It may seem, weigh four
pounds more than did when l fought the
COrnishman. l now weigh 2l2 pounds.
My legs and body are considerably thin
ner than they were six months ago, but
l have filled out about the chest and
shoulders. All the extra weight l have
gained has centered in those parts, and
as a fighter I know that is the proper
place to have extra weight. The best
proof that I am right is that 1 feel so
we'll"
do you think your battle with Sharkey
will he or clr
THAT is a hard question to answer .
said Jefries, thoughtfully. 1.-The length
of the battle will be determined very
largely by the tactics Sharkey employs" !"
1t was suggested to the champion that
the sailor would likely pursue his usual
rushing tactics.
well, If he does exclaimed the cham
pion, 1.-The fight will be over inside Of FIVE
rounds. Fitzsimmons used rushing tactics
when 1 met him, and everybody knows
how hard he tried to knock me out but
failed Now Ftzsimmons is a much
more clever man than Sharkey, and with
all his knowledge of ring generalship he
failed to accomplish his object. so what
chance has Sharkey got2 AS a matter
of fact. l don't care how Sharkey fights
He can fight any old way he wants to-
I will be prepared for him at any and all
stages Of the battle"
That's right" said Tommy Ryan: land
I've bet $500 to $500 that you'll beat him,
Jeff"
How about your ability to take pun
ishment? was asked. Men who are
backing Sharkey believe that you cannot
take hard humping.
II don't know how they form that opin-
ion" said the big Californian; I've been
hit very hard in all my battles, and yet
I've never been knocked down FitZsim-
mons gave me some pretty hard blows,
and he didn't succeed in doing very much
damage TO me. And let me tell you that
The San Francisco call., 1899-11-03

took leisurely stroll from Allenhurst to
Long Branch, along the ocean front, and
return. He then loafed around for
while, joking with his trainers. and at
half-past o'clock bade good-by to his
acquaintances and boarded the train,
leaving at that hour for New York.
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 quarters at Newdorp
until tomorrow morning, when he will
leave for the battle-ground.
Sharkey said that he did not think JEFF
fries could take a good hard punch sue
cessfully He said that in the only really
difficult fight the Californian has had
that with Fitzsimmons-he received only
a few hard blows, owing to Fitzsimmons'
wild delivery. Somebody called Sharkeys
attention to the fact that Jeffries had an
extremely long reach and asked If Fitz-
simmons failed to get inside the big
Californian's guard, how could he (Shar-
key, a smaller man, hope for better re-
suits. Sharkey pointed out that he had
never yet failed to get inside the guard of
any man he had ever fought. He said
that he had successfully got past the
guards of such clever fighters as Mccoy,
Corbett and Fitzsimmons, and not only
succeeded in hitting them, but landed with
sufficient force to score a knockdown in
each instance.
Sharkey not only believes that he is a
much stronger man than Jeffries, but that
he can deliver a blow with much greater
force than the champion.
A comparison of the style of fighting of
the two men is interesting. Jeffries, who
is acknowledged to be the more scientific
fighter of the pair, assumes a low,
crouching position when in action. He al
ways keeps his left on guard, ready to
meet an opponent with a left hook or
straight jab. His low position makes 1t
easy for him to move his head out of the
way of swinging blows. His footwork is
also excellent, in fact remarkable for a
man Of his physique and weight. He is as
nimble on his pedal extremities as light
weight. He hits straight from the shoul-
der, and when he lands squarely generally
staggers or sends his opponent to the
boards. Jeffries' ability in this direction
was clearly demonstrated in his fight with
FitZsimmons, from whom he won his pres
ent title of heavyweight champion pu-
gilist of the world
Sharkey's style of fighting is very unlike
that of Jeffrtes'. The sailor is by no means
as finished a boxer as the Californian. He
is, however, fairly clever, but in the heat
and excitement of battle usually forgets
his knowledge of the finer points of box
ing. He is an aggressive, rough and ready.
"get there" sort of fighter. He keeps af-
ter his man while swinging his right and
left, and is not discouraged if he receives
a hard blow or fails to land He will take
two or three blows in order to land one.
In point of physical perfection. no two
better pugilists ever fought for the heavy
weight championship. In former contests
the question of dissipation and youth
against age has figured conspicuously but

TALKS OF THE WAR

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Marquis of
Lansdowne, Secretary of State for War,
was the chief speaker at the Cutters

"Hher Majesty's Minister'S" he went over
the usual ground in explaining the cause
of the war and defended the Government
against the charge that the military
preparations were not abreast of the ne
