New York, July 1.-THE real reason
for James J. Corbett's refusal to go to
San Francisco for the Fitzsimn.ons-
Jeffries fight has just become Known.
He has had to undergo an operation for
a cancerous growth on his tongue,
caused by excessive smoking.
The condition Of his tongue annoyed
Corbett considerably in his training,
and it was decided some time ago by
his physician that the use of the knife
would be necessary. DR.. George Sim
MONS of this city, went to Corbett' s
place on Long Island on Friday and
performed the operation. 1t was sue
cessful, and Corbett is resting quietly,

terest in the Fight.

San Francisco, July 14.-With the big
fight but two weeks away, the public
seems to take very little interest in 1t
and there is absolutely no betting talk.
This is due largely to the fact that
both F'itz and Jeffries are doing their
training at mountain resorts, far from
railways.
Jeffries fears that this apathy will
hurt the attendance at the contest,
with a consequence shrinkage in the
gate" and SO is taking steps to arouse
interest. So the champion left his
quarters at Harbins and removed to
Oakland, where he will finish his work
in the Reliance club gymnasium JET
fries says he is making the change be-
touches in climate similar to that of
this city where the fight will take place.
