CORBETT TALKS
OF COMING FIGHT
Confident Jeffries Will Be
Defeated in Fifteen
Rounds.


NEW HAVEN, Conn, March IL
James J. Corbett this afternoon. in
talking about his coming meeting with
Jeffries, made this statement:
while 1 do not wish to seem boast
full, am confident that in our coming
match Jeffries will go down in defeat
in fifteen rounds or less. The fight will
not last twenty rounds; of that you
may be sure.
Il will fight him in the same man
ner as 1 did the last time Any one
who saw the fight will tell you after
twenty-five rounds I came out of
the ring unmarked and had not even
a black eye to show, while Jeffries
was badly cut up.
MY preparation will differ only in
detail from my usual training. Special
attention has been paid to strengthen
ing my forearms for many months.
The next time 1 meet Jeffries he will
be punched just as often and much
harder than when we last met
when the gong rings for the first
round in California next summer you
will see that it will be a signal for me
to regain the championship. No heavy
weight of late years has lost the belt
and then won it again, but that is
just what L propose to do"

Mr.. Depew. after stating that Mr..

said it occurred the day after he, with
Greeley, had spoken at their last meet

turned together to the latter's study,
where Greeley acknowledged the bit

presidency. and then, in Senator De-

the Tribune, awkwardly enough for
Depew. has taken occasion to state the
actual facts, which are that the mass
meeting referred to was held on Oct.
