LITTLE BETTING ON ROUNDS
Both Thoroughly Prepared for Fight
Tonight-Corbett Will Wager He
Wins in Thirteen Rounds.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The
Eastern contingent is arriving here in
goodly numbers to see the Corbett-Britt
fight tonight
With the coming of the sportsmen the
real betting has started, and the local
poolrooms are doing a rushing business.
The odds are 10 to In favor Of Cor
bett, with plenty of Britt money IN
sight.
There are little or no wagers beng
placed on the question Of the number OF
rounds, everybody preferring TO place
money on the result
Both boys have abandoned hard traisa-
ing and are only taking light exercise
to keep from growing stale
Corbett is in perfect condition, and
says he feels in better shape for this
fight than he ever did for former con-
tests

that sees me strong and fit without any
great exertion to reduce myself. and am
more than confident that will win.
Corbett Wants Odds.
Jimmy has gone tho full twenty
rounds distance In most Of his fights.
and has gained the decision, but II his
friends think he will last thirteen rounds
with me and will lay me 5000 against
81 600. 1 win make the bet as often as
they like. / will promise that I don't
stop betting this side Of $4,000, so that
when all the money is up there will be
$4,000 at stake
Judging from the way kilograms OF in
quiry are bling received at Camp Cor
bett the champions friends In the East
think that the best value for their mon
ey can be obtained in San Francisco
Il Is evident, too, that commissions Of
large amounts are being brought this
way by sporting men who are coming
TO see the fight Jack Munroe, Jim JEFF
fries next opponent. wired Harry Tut
hill TO invest some COrbett money for
him before the arrival of the Eastern
coin played havoc with the odds.
Big Crowd Expected.
1t is figured the bout will draw at
least $4,000. Almost every good seat has
been sold. and the outlook for a big
crowd in the Hayes Valley Club is very
encourag ing-
Britt is down to weight, and is already
figuring what he will do with the win
ner's end of the purse.
Pugilism IS a business with Britt and
Corbett, and success or failure means
everything. To suppose that man en-
gagged In any kind OF business will be
free from care when an event involving
tremendous risks is to be decided Is
silly.
