IN THE RING AT ESQ.
Fitz and JET Will Start the Contest
On Time.

San Francisco, July 23.-Everything
is now In readiness for the Jeffries-
FitzsimmOns contest on Friday night
and the attendance promises to tax the
capacity of the arena. 1t is not likely
that Jeffries will follow his usual rou-
tine of exercises from now on. He is
at his best and will do just as he
pleases. He is particularly partial to
he believes that by footing it merrily
over short stretches of highway he
gains in speed and strengthens his
wind. Jeffries is better natured than he
was week ago. He declares that he
feels stronger and better than he ever
did before going into any fight and
those who have been watching him dur
ing his training insist that he is faster
than ever.
Fitzsimmons has also tapered of IN
his work, having passed the point where
preliminary exercise will cut any fig
ure. He says that hereafter he will do
his boxing in private. After expert
encing temporary boom in betting
circles, Fitzsimmons' chances have re-
coded in the estimation of spectators
until the original odds of 10 to now
prevail.
A slight defect in the ring has been
found, but it will be re1nedied before
the fight The heavy timbers which
support the framework above the ring
were found to be rather too close to the
ropes. IT there was a struggle in any
one of the four corners there was B
possibility of either the heads or the
hands of the boxers being injured. To
avoid this rope will cut off one foot
of each corner, making the ring oc-
tagonal instead of square. The posts
will be padded as an extra precaution.
Soldier Tom Wilson, who came from
the east to act as Fsitzsimmons SPAR
ring partner. but who was shelved in
favor of Hank Griffin, will not see the
fight. He received orders to join his

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Farmer Near Eskridge Kills Himself
Without Known Cause,

sEskridge, Kan, July 23.-Robert Peel,
a young farmer living six miles south-
west of this place. committed suicide
here Tuesday.
He had been working in the hay field,
when he sent his hired man to the
further end of the farm for something,
saying he was going to the house for
water. He entered the house from the
front door, went straight through to the
kitchen and fumbled around in the cup
board, then went to the bedroom in the
front of the house. His wife and sister
in-law did not think anything strange of
his actions until they heard the report
from the gun.
They ran into the bedroom and found
him lying on his back on the bed in a
dying condition At his feet ON the floor
lay a large butcher knife, which he had
evidently intended to use in case Of
failure in the shooting. DIR. Trivet was
summoned at once, but nothing could
be done except to notify the coroner.
An inquest was held. No cause as yet
has been ascfibed as a motive for the
suicide. He was married and prosper
Gus, and seemingly happy and one of
the most highly respected citizens in
this part Of the country.

Racing at Cleveland.

Cleveland. O.. July 3.-The Grand Cir
cult races here opened day late. The
5000 stake for 2:1s PAGERS was the banner
event. and it was decided only after an
eight-heat contest. Fred g. Wedgewood
was the opening favorite and continued SO
until after the fourth heat had been
paced Dan r., who had always been well
played. won the fourth heat, but dropped
the next two heats. At the calling of
the seventh heat, the Wedgewood horse
was again faverite, but Dan r. had more
in reserve and won the last two heats
rather easily. Pronounced favorites won
each of the other three races in straight
heats. Geers' Dandy Chimes, favorite in
the 2:19 pace, caused mild sensation in
the second heat by breaking in rounding
the first turn and falling back five lengths
behind the leaders. Then Geers pulled
him down and was ahead again before the
turn home was reached. The track was
spongy and at least two seconds slow
Eight thousand spectators were on hand

sHARKEY HOME AGAIN.
Sailor Tells why Rubin Whipped
Him in London.

New York, July 23-Manager Sam Fitz-
patrick, with Sailor Tom Sharkey, reached
New York from London on the steamship
Umbria. Both looked in the pink of per-
lection after their participation in the
pugiiistic festivities which were to have
accompanied the coronation ceremonies,
which did not occur owing to the Illness
of the king. Fitzpatrick brought Johnny
German to England, where he met defeat
at the hands of Tommy Ryan.
Ryan is a wonderful fellow said Sam
today. He is indeed a wonderfully fast
man in the ring. and puncher for fair.
Alongside any one else German would
have been fast"
How about Sharkey's go with Gus Ruh
lin % was asked.
81 have been told since our arrival here"
said Sam, that there has been afioat
story to the effect that Rubin put Shar-
key in a hospital. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. The day following
their meeting we were at our training
quarters at Clipperfields. Sharkey put on
his working clothes and did an eight-nile
spin on the road to take out the stiffness"
How about their fight?"
1.-THE gonS," said Sam, saved Rubin In
the first round. 1t was tough, hard
fight for seven rounds, with Sharkey do
ing all the forcing. After that he tired
and got slow. Added to this he got q
bad cut in the fifth round. It was over
the left eye. which kept filling with blood,
almost binding him. Rubin from the
seventh to the tenth round got a good
lead. When Sharkey came to his corner
after the tenth round I concluded that he
had better quit. Sharkey insisted upon
going ahead, but Tommy Ryan and my
self prevailed upon him to STOP"
What kind of treatment did you folks
get from London sports and the manage
ment of the National Sporting club?" was
asked. 1.-THE best on EARTH" said Sam.
You see. owing to postponement of the
coronation the attendance at the ath1et-
ic affairs was spoiled. The club lost f5 600
on it's engagements. Notwithstanding that
fact every participant in every sport got
every cent he was promised It was one
| of the greatest exhibitions of square deal
| ing ever heard of in my long experience
! with people. AS for the sports generally
in England they are high class men and
| all were extremely kind and friendly to
| all we Americans"
