FITZ TELLS ALL ABOUT IT
Says Jeffries Will Win From Corbett
in Ten Rounds-His Fine
Condition.

Bob Fitzsimmons thus sizes up the
Jeffries-Corbett bout:
Jeffries will do.
He will win the fight and win it in gig
time. --.
I have had an excellent opportunity to
look the big fellow over, and 1 have no
hesitancy in saying that he is in the con-
dition Of his life-better than when he
fought Sharkey or myself. I doubt If it
were possible for a. man to be finer physi-
cally than Jeffries is to-day. 1 had the
gloves on with Jeffries, and I know what
am talking about.
Mark my words-Corbett will have some
difficulty in getting to Jeffries, and what
if he does? VIII corbett hurt Jeffries?
Well, you might just as well talk Of a
rabbit hurting a grizzly bear. You can't
hurt that fellow Jeffries. You may cut
him up and leave a mark here and there,
but you are not worrying him.
You are just making him mad, and when
he's that way, watch out. A punch from
either paw is liable to put you out Of the
business. . s4s$ &
These hunting trips of Jeff's, while they
look to some like loahng, are nothing of
the sort. They make him and improve his
condition in manner that is something
surprising. 80
When Jeff is on the road he is running
half the time and climbing the next. His
wind has so improved that he could fight
for 200 rounds.
You can't hurt this mountain Of muscle
and energy. I tried to Saturday in our
little bout, and I very soon gave up the
idea. .-- 80.
There is this about it, that Corbett
seems to overlook: One punch from JEFF
fries is worth about forty from Corbett,
and that is no exaggeration. Corbett may
be able to hit whole lot harder, but,
as is generally admitted, what he gains in
hitting he will lose In speed.
The only way Corbett could keep away
| from this fellow at Coney Island was by
doing the dancing masters act. 1t was
not a genuine give-and- take battle, as
| everybody knows What will happen to
| Mr.. Corbett if he drops that swift get
away program and stands up for a few
exchanges? His guard will never be able
to Withstand the blows of jeff A Jolt
| from that fellows right will crush every
thing In its path I don't like to pose as
a prophet, but the fight this time won't
go the twenty rounds.
It won't go ten.

STANDING IN WATER
Many Low Fields OF Grain Likely to Go

Special to The Journal.
Tracy, Mimi, Aug. 13.-Harvesting in
this locality has been delayed by frequent
and excessive rains. Grain in low places
is standing in water or else the ground is
so soft that it mires teams and reapers
Farmers are compelled to cut out the
grain on the high ground, leaving the low
places to go to waste or to be gathered
when the ground becomes dry.
The corn crop will necessarily be short
as much Of it was planted in June and
will scarcely mature unless there should
be no frost until the latter part Of Sep

The income of the institution is about
$4,000 annually, and the trustees will be
able to put aside $4,000 a year, which may
be applied to discharging any advance Of
