their money. Gambling is carried on in
most of the saloons, and the old veterans
who have a desire to engage in the game
find themselves pennilesS after a few

Great Improvement Shown in
Jim Corbett's Form.
Was a Surprise to His Former
Sparring Partner. M
MIKE CONLEY'S VISIT.
Says Ex-Champion's Muscles
Stick Out Like Whip Cords.
Practicing For a Bout With
Jeffries in the Spring.

Cincinnati, Nov. 13.-The Enquirer says:
Jim Corbett and his old sparring partner.
Mike Conley, the Ithaca Giant, met last
night in the dressing room of the Column
bia theater. Conley had not seen Cor
bett for over a year and he was delight
fully surprised at the ex-champions con-
dition.
Il must say, Jim remarked Conley,
that 1 never saw you looking SO well.
believe that you are bigger and stronger
now than you have been any time during
your fighting career
You're right about that" replied Cor
bett. With this remark he stripped and
| displayed his muscular development.
coniey could hardly believe his eyes.
He never saw Corbetts back and arm
muscles show up to better advantage.
ITO tell the truth. Jim, you have develop
ed wonderfully said Conley. Il am
positive of that said Corbett. Here's a
shirt I had made to order. My hands
have become so big that 1 cannot pull the
shirt off without unbuttoning the cuffs.
A few months ago I could slip my hands
through without half trying
Have you taken on any weight" ask
ed Conley.
mo, 1 guess not 1 scale about the
same as l did last year this time. I am
simply working to harden my muscles. 1
have been exercising daily for months.
l began early last spring. 1 made my
home down on Long Island and used to
take the train into town every morning
and spend several hours in Woods gym
nasium- have kept up the work all
summer and fall and will continue exer-
cising until 1 start in training to fight
Jeffries."
Are you sure Jeffries will fight you
asked Conley.
Mike, it's a lcinch If were not so
sure of the match L would not put in so
much time training said Corbet-.
Before leaving sCorbett and Conley had
little talk in reference to set-to this
week at the Cincinnati Gym. Conley
said he would be pleased to box Corbett.
and the latter promised to bring a big
set of gloves some morning. and they will
spar three rounds in private
I haven't had on a glove for some
time, remarked Corbett. but l guess 1
can can 60 well enough to get up a sweat; -
never was a time that you couldn't make
1t Interesting for anyone UP against Won
in a friendly bout
Conley said to a reporter after visiting
Corbett that there could be no doubt about
Corbett's determination to fight Jeffrics
for the championship The fact that Cor
bett gives two shows a day and gets up
every morning to- do gymnasium work is
to be fit and well when he tackles the
champion.
Conley stated that Corbett's arms and
wrists showed remarkable development.
~ know him now Stripped for action III the
ring Formerly Corbett's, muscles showed
but little development. Now they stick
ed is enough to make Tom Sharkey turn
green with envy. Corbett, in his present
condition. is model specimen Of physical
development. If looks count for anything
hardest fight of his life when they meet
next spring.

TIGERS %; OKLAHOMA 5.
Missouri Has Little Trouble Winning
the Game.

Columbia. Mo-, Nov. 13-In hard
fought game Missouri defeated Oklaho-
ma by a score of % to 5. Oklahoma
came here with a great record and even
bet some money that M. S. u. would
not score, but they proved easy for the
Tigers. Oklahoma started out like a
winner for Mccoy on the very first play
made an so yard run for a touchdown,
but after that the game was Missouri S.
Oklahoma's tackles were her best play
erS. but the Missouri backs went over
them and through them with ease. The
Tigers team work is improving greatly
and all through the game the backs
were carried along with several Okla
homa men hanging to them. The men
stayed on their feet we'll and are inn
proving in this respect in every game.
Twice the Tigers showed great defen-
sive work by holding the Oklahomans
on the one ward line and again on the
ten yard line. The team work of the
visitors was good. They played fast
and had many speedy men. They SEEM
ed weak on defense though they claim
ed that was their long suit. Ardinger,
of Missouri, was the bright particular
star, making many long runs and max
ing the first three touchdowns He was
good for a gain almost every time he
took the ball. E. B. Smith played a
great defensive game. He was sure in
his tackling and he seemed to be every
where. Anamosa and Perry also did fine
work Captain Ellis was out on account
of an injury received in the Washington
game, and his place was taken by Eo
Washer, the ex-Centra1 player of Kan
sas City. Washer played a fine g1me
Coach O'Dea said the boys put up their
best game of the season. For Oklaho-
ma, Mccoy, Boyle, Reed and Tribbey
did the best work.
