clusion, but says he will open up
some new work that will be a sur
prise to Jeffries and his hackers.
Flitzsimmons does not intend to
take the worst of it from a referee.
He is inclined To get shade the bet
ter of the decision if possible, and
has started in early by attempting to
prejudice Graney against clinching
and hugging and hitting with should
ers.
II may be the lesson administered
to Bob by Sharkey and his hackers is
still fresh in the horsehoer's mind.
He purposes on this occasion to
ward off a repetition of such a fraud
by setting up an early shout against
foul work in the ring. Fitz is heavier
than he has been in any previous bat
tie. Although he has not been on
the scales, he evidently weighs $50
pounds and will possibly fight at five
pounds over that figure.
Jeffries' confidence is something
which gives hackers nerve to put up
coin on a to basis. Most of them
talk as though wagering money on
him was like picking it up in the
street There is no question of the
enormous superiority of Jetfries in
purely physical strength.
He is the most powerful man ever
in a ring. capable of hitting harder
than John L. in his prime, and what
makes him dangerous is he has de-
veloped speed. He is very light on
his feet and he hits straight, clean

Fitz and Jeff Are to
Bottle Tomorrow Night

y to l, with considerable Fitz money
put up on the short end. Local
sports generally favor 'Jeffries, but
eastern money is being wagered ex-
tensively on the Cornishman.
Yesterday afternoon the Oakland
business men were given an opportun-
ity to see James j. Jeffries travel
eight rounds with his brother Jack
and Joe Kennedy, who is assisting the
big man in his training work. The
exhibition took place at the Reliance
club and admission was by card.
Once more Manager Billy Delaney
announces that his protege is in the
finest fettle and will climb through
the ropes Friday night fit to fight
for reputation. Jeffries is alter
mating in his days of heavy work. To
avoid the stale" condition the cham
pion goes at his work like a trojan
on one day and on the next relaxes
somewhat. This method he finds
agrees with him and it keeps him on
vigorous edge.
Jeffries has taken on nine pounds
in thirty-siX hours, but this is not
extraordinary for a man of his her.
culean proportions. The fighter now
weighs in the neighborhood of 225
pounds. He expects to tip the beam
at nearly PIT when he fights.
The canvas-covered pavilion in
which the fight will take place is
near completion. The platform of
the ring is in place and sort of a
wooden canopy to hold the lights has
been built over it. The arena is of
octagonal shape, with all the seats
built on the ground except the gal
lery, which consists of three tiers of
boards similar to the bleachers at a
ball ground, rising as an angle that
will give all occupants an uninter-
rupted view of the encounter.
To economic space as much as
possible the seats have been placed
very close together and the distance
from the center of the ring to the
most distant part of the Enclosure is
only eighty-seven feet.
Sporting men here acknowledge
that the coming battle is very diff
cult to size up. If Fitz were nor
NAL man it would be easy, as betting
on Jeff would be a cinch, but Fitz
is not normal. He is far beyond the
age when fighters remain in the
ring. yet he is pronounced physically
better than ever before, and he GER
tainly shows very few signs of age.
Fitz himself is perfectly confident
he will reverse the result of three
years ago when he meets Jeffries
Friday night. Ever since his defeat
by the Californian he has studied
Jeffries' style of battle and has laid
plans to overcome him. He knows
he can hit Jeffries, for he found no
trouble in reaching him before. The
study, then, comes down to the ad-
ministration of a decisive blow of
sufficient force to put the big fellow
on his back for ten seconds.
There is the conundrum. Jeffries
thinks that no better success will fol-
low Fitz' raps in the coming fight
than accompanied them in 1899. He
argues that what he once stood he
can take again and digest. Fitzsim-
mons does not agree with such a con-

Der five is center, number six is goal.
There are no absolute rules regarding
the exact position that each player
shall accupy. except that the goal must
keep within his circle. There is. how
ever, a generally accepted lineup and
this is given in the diagram.
There Is very little difference in the
relative value of each player to the
success of a team; but there is a great
deal OF difference in the sort of skill
required for each position.
The goal must be an expert at catch
ing the ring. but ne need not necessa-
rily be very proficient at throwing the
ring. Right and left advance, on the
other hand. must be able to throw with
great speed and accuracy, but except

Joyeo the sensation, until right ahead
ne caught sight of that which sent the
blood running cold through his veins.
A heavy coal cart had drawn aside
TO let the engine pass. On the other
slde OF the street an ice wagon was
drawn up, leaving barely room for a
thlrd vehicle to pass through.
From behind the coalcart a little
child has run out to watch the course
oil the engine and hose cart. There
was no room for Dan TO pass and no
earthly chance to stop the horse mad
dened by this taste of other days. In
front of Sullivan's saloon on the right
the crowd of excited loungers shouted
and held up their arms in futile effort
to frighten the horse away. At the
Heggiman grocery the sidewalk was
clear. Dan pulled sharply on the left
rein. For an awful instant Buck kept
on, then turned, and with a crash, the
two-wheeled butcher cart was on the
sidewalk. The wagon toppled danger
Ously, while baskets, steaks and joints
flew out. Then it righted with Dan
still in the seat. There was another
crash as Buck left the sidewalk, and
ne was running again on the smooth
asphalt, the child unconscious of the
awful fate from which he had been
saved, shouting in excitement.
couple of blocks beyond stood the
engine, putting neisely, and Buck
swung into line as docilely as though
running away were something of which
he had never heard. Then Dan turned
and drove back for the baskets. Ak

Dan ever since he had worn kits, had
already collected the things for him,
