LOCAL BETTING ON FIGHT
JEFFRIEs is FAvORITE OVER COR
BETT AT ODDS OF 2 TO L.
The Price May BE Heightened to 3
to 4 Next week-Root Has Is
sued a Challenge to Gardner.

Local interest in the coming champion
ship fight between James Jeffries and
James Corbett. to take place in San Fran
cisco, Aug. IA. is becoming more pro-
nounced every day. Bets are now being
offered at the Kingston and Harry Walk
er's of 2 to 1 on Jeffries, bat there have
been no takers. 1t is quite likely that the
oddds will be 21s to l. or 3 to 1 in the course
of another week. 1t is believed there will
be practically no local betting until within
few days of the battle, when the men
secure a better line on the condition of the
two fighters.
Jim Corbett is in active training at Ala
media. The latest news from Harbin
Springs, where Jeffries is getting into
shape. indicates that he counted on his su-
perior weight as factor in the contest In
a ten-round bout with Fitzsmmons yester-
day he forced the latter to repeated and
continuous clinehes, throwing his massive
body with full force on the former cham
pion. Fitzsimmons frankly admits that he
was exhausted, but almost Immediately
afterward Jeffriss boxed ten lively rounds
with his brother Jack and Jim Kennedy
The champion will probably remain at Har-
bin Springs until within few days of the
big fight. Yesterday afternoon Corbett ap-
peared rs Charles the Wrestler in an open
air performance of LAS You Like IT, at
Sutro Heights in benefit performance.
The Indianapolis Athletic Club Is pre-
pairing excellent card of bouts to be
given at the Empire on the night of the big
championship battle in San Francisco. A
frst-class evenings entertainment will be
given, and In addition to the contests re-
turns will be received at the theater by
special wire from the ring-side in San Fran
cisco.
l.. M. Houseman, manager of Jack Root,
has sent out the following letter, which is
self-explanatory:

Harold Harfagr in the year SSS
granted the islands of Orkney to Earl
Eyner. brother TO Duke Rollo of Nor
mandy. When Earl Eyner came to live
In his new possessions he found them
quite bare of any trees and producing
only very few stunted bushes.
The Orkneys are bitterly cold and
wind swept. so when the inhabitants
had used up all the wood they could
procure they came TO their new earl
for advice He recommended them to
cut out pieces Of turf. dry them and
use them for fuel This they did with
such great success that the custom
spread to Scotland and thence to Ire
land and to many parts of England
Earl Eyner was always known after
ward as Turf Eyner.

Cannon is politician. He early
learned the science and necessity of
organization. lie got the best men,
the party workers, and he kept them.
He did things for his district. No
letters went unnoticed. Young men
were given offices, and then watched.
If any one of them became indolent
or got into bad ways he was sert
home. When Cannon made promise
he stood to it. He never forgot any
thing, and he never made memorial
DUN of what he had agreed to do.
Speaker Cannon is n plain mar.
Thank God, the best men in the coun
try are simple and artless in their
homes and private lives. Likewise
Cannon knows humanity-knows its
virtues, knows, its infirmities; knows
its tricks. and knows its delusions.
There will be no jobs in Congress so
long as he is Speaker. He can spot a
schemer a mile away. He can smell
mouse night or day.
