ABOUT JIM AND JIM.
Match Between Jcffries and Corbett
Would Take Well Now.

The contest between Jim Jeffries and
Jim Corbett seems 10 have fallen
through. Nothing has been heard from
either fighter for week or so. A con-
test Of that kind would draw big
crowd. Especially so in view OF the
showing that Fitzsimmons recently
made against the champion. Corbett's
wonderful cleverness might enable him
TO keep out Of harms way long enough
TO last the journey. and II he does, the
chances are better than even that he
will come pretty near getting the decis-
ion. A fight between Corbett and JEFF
fries just at the present time would be
worth going miles TO witness and ought
to prove one OF the biggest kind OF at
fractions from gate point OF view.
Jeffrles Is resting az present and VIII
allow his face TO heal before entering
into another contest with anyone. As
Corbett's theatrical engagement begins
early in September, the fight must come
of some time the end of the present
month or 30 over for year. It's up
TO the big fellows TO do something, and
