Prospect for Match Between
Heayyweights Encouraging.
Jim Corbett Now Has So, 800
Forfeit Posted as Asked.
JUNE BATTLE LIKELY
Jeffrles Declares That One Stiff
Punch Would End It.
And All That Was Necessary
Was for COrbett to i" Put Up

New York. Jan. ia battle between
James J. Jeffries, present holder of the
title. and James J. Corbett for the
heavyweight championship Of the world,
is now practically assured.
Replying to Jenries statement that he
would arrange a bout with the ex-
champion as soon as the latter posted a
forfeit, Corbett has placed a forfeit of
81. 500 in the hands of sam Hail. and has
wired his legal representative, Emanuel
Friend, to look after the details for him.
In a statement Mr.. Friend said.
"Corbett has telegraphed me from To
rontO, where he is now playing. to ar
range a match with Jeffries for him.
He has placed 81. 500 in the hands of
Sam Hall to go as forfeit, and de-
clares that he stands ready to meet the
champion in June.
TT seems to me that it's up to Jeffries
now. Jeffries has repeatedly stated that
he would give Corbett another chance
and only today came out with the state
ment that the only thing necessary to
get on a match was for COrbett to post
a forfeit Well. COrbett has done that.
The offer of the Hayes Valley Athletic
club of Oakland Cal, of a. $4,000 purse
for twenty round bout between the
two men seems to me very liberal, and
] have no doubt but that JEFF viii come
forward and clinch matters at once"
Jehries, in his statement says;
Il defeated Corbett easily in New
York and can do so again. It is an easy
matter to beat him. One good stiff
punch Will make him quit [ know
whereof speak. 1 have met the gentle
man."

which are being sent through the mails
to grocers of Kansas City, Kan, and

day NJ. Klein, d grocer at 636 Minnesota

envelope containing IS 2-eent stamps
and Sam Stewart, 646 Minnesota avenue
received a similar envelope containing
the same amount. Many others, who
received stamps and money several days
ago, reported the fact yesterday.
In fact, nearly every grocer in both
Kansas City, Kansas and Argentine,
who has been in business very long, has
received stamps and money, while none
of the men who have recently establish
ed business has had the experience. Two
theories for this situation were suggest
ed yesterday One theory is. that the
terry is in possession of d Kansas City,
names of the grocers by that means.
This would account very we'll so far as
Kansas City, Kan. is concerned. bur
Argentine has no directory. The other
suggestion was that the unknown man

IS and aggressive fighting by Corbett
and feinting and lodging by Rice. Once
the champion went to the floor. his foot
slipping as he lodged a lunge from Rice.
Rice fell to his knees under similar cir
cunastanees, but both men were on their
feet in an instant Rice landed almost
as many blows as did the champion, but
they lacked force and seemed to do but
slight damage. Corbett in turn landed
many face and body blows. but his most
vicious swings and uppercuts were eth
er lodged or blocked, and those that
went home had small effect. Rice's fight
was purely to stay the 20 rounds, and
he fought almost entirely on the de-
fensive. So successful was he IN dodg-
ing the rushes of the champion that
Corbett sawed the air and several times
ran into the ropes with force.
The contest was refereed by Pat Ear
ly. formerly Of Chicago.
