The idea of horsemen seems to be to

The formation of a stock company

ways attract more attention than
mill between men of a smaller class.
Human nature is much the same now
as it was in the days of the gladiators-
1t prefers struggles between fellows of
heroic proportions. probably because
greater bulk means greater strength
and greater execution, and as a con-
sequence clashes between leviathans
suggest greater possibilities of blood
and breakage.
If all the pugilistic classes were peo-
pied with sterling performers, middle
weight matches would be in demand
next to heavyweight contests, and so
on down the line. The men of the ring
would find favor according to their
poundage. It is a notorious fact that
featherweight champion George Dixon,
the most wonderful fighter of his inch
es the world ever produced, invariably
boxed before slim crowds:
Now we have a contest between
lightweights overshadowing everything
in the pugilistic line, and the reasons
are not hard to find. The bigger class
es seem to have been fought out. The
roll-call of each weight division will
show that the most astute matchmak-
ers would be at their wits end to think
up an event that would excite much
more than interest
The older order of things is changed.
The matter of tonnage is forgotten.
and Britt and Nelson are regarded as
the two greatest living opponents OF
the Queensberry game. OF course
neither one of them. possibly, could
defeat the star of a class higher than
his, but they have done such wonder
full work among men of their own heft
that they make the lightweight class
throw every other class into the shade.
The one thing, above all others, that
these fellows are SO evenly matched.
Go and take a vote on the dummy Of
any street car whizZing up Market
street, and for every man you find
who thinks that Nelson is going to
win you will find another who is sure
that Britt will come out on top.
This is why tongues are wagging at
a lively rate before the articles are one
day old San Francisco is agog over
the event already. and if you were to
bring big Jim Jeffries out Of retire
ment and match him with the best
man available the affair would not be-

afternoon of September 9th there will
be more widespread interest in regard
to the outcome of the match than
there has been at any time in connec-
ton with pugilistic encounter since
Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons box
ed under the shadows of the Sierras
at Carson City, so says w. w.
Naughton in the Examiner.
This fact will make itself apparent
his thoughts to wander back over the
pugilistic trail Since the Corbett-
Fftzsimmons affair, the most import
ant fights with the exception, possibly,
of the Britt-"Young Corbett" bout,
have been between heavyweights.
The go between Fitzsimmons and
Jeffries at Coney Island did not appeal
particularly to the sporting fraternity
because it was regarded as an unequal
match, with the chances very much in
| favor of F'itzsimmons.
OF course public opinion received a
violent upset at that time. as it also
did when Young Corbett" downed
Terry McGovern at Hartford.
The fact remains that while both
these matches were hanging in the
balance the public evinced a languid
interest in the preparations
In all the fights which Jeffries has
engaged in since he won the champion
ship, the furore which attaches to strug-
giles between big men for the highest
honors of the ring has not been in
evidence.
Jeffries was always thought to be
and always proved himself to be-far
too good for his opponents, and it was
merely the faint possibility of the I'M
expected happening that worked the
sporting public into a condition of mild
excitement.
