THE PUGILISTS. TWO GRIZZLIES
 ARE GROWLINC.
.Jeffries and Munroe Ready for the Battle Several Good Battles Last Night
 Other Fighting News.

When the Grizzlies meet in Frisco week from tonight they will be the two heaviest fighters that ever toed the center i'll championship contest I in this country.
 Jeff, who has boasted that he lad thrown away the scales, has evidently found them again, for yesterday word came from Harbin that the champion was within n few pounds of 2S0, and that he would answer the bell at that weight
 At that, it Is said that he will weigl, within five pounds of Munroe. who in declared he would weigh nearer 23O pounds than POO, at which he had ex, pected to enter the ring.
 Jeff's waist line will be smaller than Munroe's and his calf will be less in circumference.
 ,Jeffries seems to be larger in the shoulders and deeper in the chest than ever Hard work has rid him of every suggestion of an aldermanic front. but seems to have increased the area Of his tremendous chest and back
 From Harbin Springs somes 8 story that friend of Jeffries Is willing to bet $500 at 1 to that the champion will finish Munroe within. five rounds. tuners Ill JeHfleSS mOllnCa1n camp will join in that end of the wager, while still larger number will be willing to speculate evens on Jim's chances within ten rounds.
 MunrOe's weight is all muscle. He has worked so hard recently that he is hard as nails. The report is now current that the miner has been wres- ting for two years so that he may be equal to Jeff in the clinches and may tire the champion out in the hanging on and roughing process that he in. tends making a part of his tactics.
 It is figured by the Munroe adher- ents that if Jeff doesn't whip Munroe in eight or ten rounds the younger and harder man will be the stronger at that stage of the proceedings and will be. in position to win.
 Munroe's trainers believe the miner is now strong enough to out-rough Jeff, and have started to get up his speed. That is why Mccoy was be, sought to help put the finishing touch es on the miners boxing. Reports say that Jack is already faster after three days work with Mccoy in the gym nasiunl

New Haven, Aug 19.--It took Pitch- CT Mclean of Norwich two innings to get steady yesterday. and while he was doing so his players made sew eraI bad errors. This accounts for the game going to New Haven by the score of to 3. It was by no means slow game and after the second in- ming the visitors played like tigers, holding the Wanderers down to nary score. Clarence Quinn was in the box for New Haven and pitched fair ball, although he gave several bases on balls, which at times looked rather dangerous.
 Tn the fifth inning Austin hit for a single. Clark was given base on balls. Thompson made a hit and Austin scored. Clark took 1t into his head to run i'll and did so. Jerry Con- nell caught the ball on home and ac- cording to his view of the situation tagged the runner. Umpire Durn- baugh waved his hand and declared the base runner was safe. This made Connell angry and he chased the of ficial to the pitchers box, where he struck him with his fist over the ear. Umpire Durnbaugh immediate ly ordered ConnelI from the game and Jope was called into service. The crowd hissed Connell and yelled as he was put from the game.
