IF CORBETT AND
JEFFEIES MEET.
1t Will Be n Fearful Struggle, But
the Ex-Champi0n VIII Surprise
the Whole World.
BY Gus Rubin.

There is a big surprise in store for the
pugiIistic world If Corbett and Jeffries
ever meet. Jim Corbett is going to furnish
it. And big Jim Jeffries. our heavy
weight champion, is going to have the
lions share of the surprise party. Jeff, 1
think, believes he is going to have some
thing of a walkover with Corbett. Jeff
had better wake up. If he doesn't Corbett
will certainly bring him to on the night of
the fight with terrific shock
When Jeffries and Corbett were first
matched | was inclined to think that the
ex-champion was going up against a pref
ty stiff game. Now 1 have changed my
mind. I'm helping Corbett train for this
fight. and know whereof ! speak. He IS
certainly 100 per cent. better than /
thought he was. And that better comes
very near being the real thing.
In pretty good judge of a mans con-
dit:on, and 1 can truthfuEy say that Cor
bett will be in the best sort of shape when
be steps into the ring withsJeffries. If he
should not win it viii not ne because he is
a 'has-been," but because Jeffries is the
wonder OF the age.
Corbett has certainly nos gone back. In
fact, with the one exception that he has
not grown any younger, L think he IS just
as good as he ever was. His cleverness is
just as marked as in the days of old His
hitting powers have not diminished, and he
is as fast on his feet as ever. And right
here 1 want to put N a word about Cor
belts ability TO hit Any one who thinks
there is no steam behind his blows should
go up against the game which | tackle
every day. 1 think they would soon change
their minds.
D. Of course, he is not a puncher like some
of our other big fellows, but he can send
them in pretty stiff at that. He is so far
superior to Juffries in point Of cleverness
that the boier-maker will not be able to
get to close work. Just as long as Corbett
keeps him at sparring distance jeff will
have chance.
don't mean by this THAI Corbett cannot
mix it up. On the contra y, he is just as
much al home at that game as he is al
long range fighting. His battle with Fitz-
simmons at Carson City bears testimony
Jim didrit have the best of II. He made
Fitz look like a two-eent piece in the hot
exchanges which took place
In Jeffries he will have much weight'er
opponent than was Fitz. This OF course.
will not be to his advantage but, on the
other hand, Jeffries is not. by a long way
as clever as Bah. If he finds himself be-
ing jabbed to pieces he IS likely to lose
his head. When that happens he might
just as well hand over the heavyweight
championship to Corbett

MOZART TOURNAMENT.
To Start at the Hill Top Resort
About the First of May.

The commands of bowlers are gath
ering in all parts of Wheelingspruit for
the summer assault on the ten pins on
the veldt of Mozart Kop. Chief Pin
Marshal Charles Lord Arndt will take
the field in person about May 1st and
great activity on both sides may be
expected. The commandments will as
semble in the near future at Schmul-
bach lager and decide on the plan of
campaign. The carpenters OIL the en-
gineer corps are now at work getting
the alleys. or veldt, we should say, into
splendid condition. Chief of Ordnance
Handlan has already on the ground
good supply of ammunition in the
shape of new balls and pins and the
invading commands need not trouble
themselves about munitions of war.
The campaign will open about May 7th
and all commandments and commands
are requested to trek to Mozart Kop
that night. The commandments should
at once send list of their forces to
the manager of the contemplated war,
Secretary Handlan.

most of the runs. Rochester bunch

were safe. The error proved fatal

Rochester took another notch in the
eighth, in which inning the situation
looked very bad for Wheeling's chan

Bonner singled. Campau few out to

chene tucked in groups and fitted to tight lining of silk. It swags over the belt at the front and sides, and though full effect V back is gained by slight gathering at the neck and waist line, the bodice is close fit- ting at this point.
 The trimming consists of very youthful bolero of rose colored taffeta stitched in silk braid of a rich Jacque rose red shade. The bolero is suspended over the shoulders by little straps, which are ruffied along the edges with plaited bands of ribbon to match the waist These bands are also sewed upon the sleeves above the elbow. It is fastened with strips of narrow ribbon laced through eyelets and tied in lovers
 knots. The neck is neatly finished with a plain band of taffeta to match the bolero.
