San Francisco, Cal. Aug. Ii
Barring a few more details all IS
ready for tonight's battle. The big
fighters turned out late this morn
ing Jefries ate a la,e breakfast
again in the kitchen and contrary to
his usual ante-fght disposition shows
nervousness. Billy Delaney plainly
shows fears that the COrbett crowd
has something up their sleeve
Fake" and Frame up" were words
in common use around sporting re
sorts This morning. Betting, however,
has picked up quite markedly. Odds
of 10 to AS are given on JefrleS.
Late arrivals are setting up an aW-
full howl on account of their lnabll-
ity to get gOOu seats at falr prices.
Spectators acknowledge that they
are holding big blocks of the best
seats and are reaping a big harvest.
Corbett will go direct from his train
ing quarters to the ringside, leaving
Alameda on the seven-thirty boat,
hoping to so time his arrival to avold
nerve racking wait. Corbett did
little work this morning. later he and
RYAN had a secret conference. The
fight is scheduled for nine O'Clock
sharp but Jeffries is never known to
be on time and ten will probably be
the hour
San Francisco, Cal, Aug 14.-Win
science triumph over brute force or
vice versa at Mechanics Pavilion to-
night? Will Corbett, the idol OF ad-
mirers of scientific boxing methods,
succumb to Jeffries, the ideal rough
and ready fighter? These are ques-
tions asked and answered in the af-
firmative and negative by sporting
men. Some good judges of matters
pugilstic are of the opinion that Cor
belts science will earn for him the
title of heavyweight champion and
the right to collect the winners
share of the big purse, but the most
of the shrewd observers say they are
convinced that the former boiler
maker will again defeat the man who
won the pugilistic crown from John
L. Sullivan.
Nobody familiar with Corbetts
movements since he first came into
prominence by fighting slXty-one
round draw with Peter Jackson in
1891 is inclined to deny that his phys
ical condition has undergone a
change not conducive to success in
feats of skill and endurance. Nor
will any we'll informed followers Of
ringside events disputes the assertion
that his entire system has suffered
considerable since he fought John l..
Sullivan, and that he is by no means
as sturdy and reliable as when he
went around the "only Sullivan" as
a cooper would around barrel in
the arena of the Olympic club of
New Orleans in September, 1892.
Instances where unmistakable evi-
dence in support Of the above asser-
ton may found were Cor
belts fights with Sharkey in
this city and with Fitzsim-
mons in Carson City. Can a
gladiator who once loses ground in
an athletic way recover sufficiently
again to win against sturdy oppo-

DENOUNCES MOB LAW.

Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 14.-A fea
ture of the assembly today was an ad
dress by Chief Justice Lore of Del
aware. who is charged with having
caused the recent lynching at Will
mington by refusing an immediate
trial of the negro ravisher. HIS ad
dress was an mob law, which he Sc

if as anarchy, which sooner or later
would overthrow the nation, unless
stopped.

Sullivan was the night he fought
Corbett. Tonight's battle will show
whether the mental calculations of
Jeffries' or Corbett's followers are
correct. The betting is heavily in ia
or of Jeffries. but as one shrewd sport
ing man ventured to remark today it
is not always the expected that hap
pens.

nent? History records few instances
of such happenings. But, in spite of
all, Corbett sa;s Ae never felt better
in his life, aLj t1i1ks he will surely
be the victor il tOnight's battle. His
opinion appataltly is shared BY such
astute followers OF the game as Tom
MY Ryan anI several others. So
much for Corbett.
Now for Jefries, the champion. He
is a fighter ii every sense that the
term implies He is Of the rough and
ready sort, ald never so happy as
when smuggling. Ii face. he says he
would rather fight than eat. Jeffries
knowledge of its scientific principles
is said to be greater than when he
met COrbett in the ring before Blu
force is still his main reliance Bull
like rusheS and crouching is his
fOrtes He rushes madly at his man
tries to corner him and then sends
his pile edriving blows at various
parts Of his opponents anatomy.
COrbett is the one man in the game
today best able TO keep away from
these onslaughts. The only question
is does the challenger possess steam
enough to plant a Knockout blow.
Jeffries willingly allows an opponent
70 land on him three or four times
in order to return one blow. He fig
ures he can afford to do so owing to
the marvellous power he puts in his
blows. He will employ the tactics
indicated in tonight's battle, and he
thinks they will result in Corbetts
defeat
So far as physical fitness is con-
cerned the statements are at vari-
ance On the occasion of the previ-
Gus meeting between the two Jeffries
undoubtedly had the advantage in
this particular COrbett's mode of
life, as before stated, had not been
such as 70 improve his condition any,
while, on the other hand, Jeffries
and dissipation were compara-
tive strangers at that time.
Just how the chances stand
now it is difficult to state ex-
actly. Corbett undoubtedly has been
taking excellent care of himself for
year or more in anticipation of to-
nights meeting Those intimately
acquainted with him declare that his
condition is as fresh as that of any
yOungster, and the brightness of his
eye seems to bear out these declara-
tiOns. On the other hand, rumOrs
have been current off and on for a
long time to the effect that the cham4
plon was not taking as good care OF
himself as he might. However, this
may be, it appears that he has been
training faithfully of late and should
go into the ring in good shape. So
far as weight and measurements go
he Will have a great advantage over
his opponent. He will weigh in at
fully % pounds heavier than Corbett.
This, however, may be a disadvan-
tage.
Jeffries' admirers, however, figure
that Corbetts power of endurance are
limited and unequal to the twenty
rounds of fighting with the champion.
They also claim that the latter is a
better man physically than John L..

Surprise Sprung at the Meeting
Of tho East Providence Town
Council This Afternoon.

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
town council Of the town OF East Provi-
dence this afternoon. one of the biggest
surprises OF the year was sprung.
This was nothing less than the with
drawal by former special constable
Harry ID. German OF the sweeping
charges which ne preferred against the
chief OF police. Rufus w. Adams.
The note OF withdrawal, which was
signed by Mr.. German was very brief.
containing scarcely 25 words. 1t was
simply n formal statement OF tho fact
that he I'D withdraw them.
The charges upon which Mr.. German
now backs down were preferred on June
IS
They were at that time referred 10 the
committee on police or the town coun-
Gil. who recommended back a recon-
mendation that Mr.. German be required
20 furnish affidavits before further ac-
tion was taken.
This raised howl Of protest from
German and his sdherents. but the rec
davits called for. These were filed with
the council at the last meeting and re-
ferred 20 the same committee with in
structions 10 report them back at this at-
ternoon's meeting
But one OF these affidavfts have been
made public. that or MFR German In
which he alleges over hts own signature
that he saw innumerable violations of
decency az Crescent Park and enumer-
ated a great many OF them.
Just what has caused German 10 change
his mind Is not yet pstent az his state
ment OF what he claims 60 have seen
that ne must either maintain the truth
Of ,hem or admit that he has spoken
falsely
