JEFF IN GOOD HANDS
FlTzsiMMoNs AND DELANEY ARE
 LOOKING AFTER HIM.
Fears of Eastern Sports That the Champions Two Trainers wH
 Clash Are Ridieuled.

Considerable interest is being mani, fested in the condition of the men who are to meet next month in the roped arena to do battle for the heavyweight championship of the world. Both Jef- fries and Corbett are in the vicinity of San Francisco, and the reports sent out from the tro training quarters are making interesting reading for the sports nowadays. Corbett and "Jeff" are said to be in excellent condition for training and will be ready to make the fight of their careers. Bob Fftz. simmons and Billy Delaney are looking after Jeffries. They are giving him pointers about his next fight. and are greatly amused cTer the comments of certain eastern writers who predict that they will clash sooner or later. These writers assert that inasmuch as their training methods are diametrical. ly opposed to each other, there is certain to be an eruption in Camp lief. fries, and as both Delaney and Fitz- simmons are headstrong men and will W or the other is sure to retire before the champion has put on the finishing touches.
 This kind of speculation has been in terestirg reading. but at present there is not the least symptom of a coldness between Delaney and Fitzsimmons. There was a time when the two men were not on speaking terms but after Jeffries' last fight hatchets were put away and they became good friends. While each has his own ideas about training, there is nothing to warrant the belief that either will allow this to make things discordant around the camp. Fitzsimmons is daily offering suggestions regarding how uppercuts, shifts. blocking. etc, should be executed, and Delaney Is keeping his eye on the amount of work the cham pion is doing. his diet and other mat ters relating to his health. At times they confer together, but there is no reason why there should be any con- fiict.
 Both men are thoroughly satisfied with Jeffries' present condition A San Francisco paper quotes Delaney as follows:
 Jeff is limiting himself to hand ball and baseball, using a soft ball. He has done no road work or boxing and will keep him away from hard work as long as I can. Tuesday Fitz and Jefr went on hunt, They took horses and went up the mountains, and came back about p. h.
 "To say that Jeff is in a fine fix to start training would be putting it mild ". We read in a paper the other night that he was all stopped oyer, from dis ipation. Now. look at him with your own eyes and tell me what you think of him. Does he look, like a Yreck?" and Delaney gazed with pride on the ponderous figure of the champion. who is as brown as berry and looking the picture of health.
 We have been leading a quiet. peaceable life since we arrived Be- lieve me when I say that I have not heard Corbett's name mentioned since I have been here. In fact you would think we were up here for pleasure. There is no knocking. no prizefight talk or anything that would make a person think that Jeff was training for a fight The time to select referee has not been agreed on yet. but it probably will take place inside ct two weeks. and on that occasion we will post a forfeit and close final details with the club. We will return to Oakland before the fight and finish training at the Reli- ance club"
