JAMES J.. CORBETT
LOOKS FOR MONEY
Invades London Vaudeville Circles Af-

(By LOndOner.)

LONDON. Aug 16-Mr James J.
weight of the world, is in this city. Mr..
Corbett hasn't come to Old England to
fight any one. but he is going to try
get some of the money lying around
loose. by appearing in vaudeville,
James j. says he is as content to be
a good actor as he was to be cham
pionship pugilist of the world, and
then / remembered that another James
J.. the name finishes with Jeffries, and
a legged. slab sided, freckled
Cornishman. dubbed by American
sporting writer's as "Lanky Bob FitZ-
simmons had something to do with
Mr. COrbetts change of profession, but
| didn't say anything James J. Corbett
may be an actor, but didn't care about
taking chances that he was still some
thing of a fighter. But Mr.. COrbett
looks every bit an actor nowadays.
Mr. Corbett has been appearing in
vaudeville in Belfast, Dublin and Man
success in these towns that he desired
to tackle London audiences. The au-
dience at Oxford music hall took kind
ly to James monologues and his sue
cess is assured during his stay here.
Asked what he thought of the JEFF
fries johnson match. now being ar
ranged for in America, the actor
fighter said:
u don't believe Johnson will ever
get into the ring with Jim Jeffries. If
he does the black man is in for one of
the finc~t lckings any fighter ever got.
I boxed Jeffries twice and while 1
tild hit him at will and managed to
stay away from his swings for time,
| hurt my hands every time | hit him.
1t didn't f6aze Mr. Jeffries and when
one of those sledge hammers finally
landed on me it was all over in sec
ond Those who think Jeffries can't
get into fighting condition have an
other think coming. Jeff is just IN
the prime of life, and when he is rid
of that fat there will be nothing left
but bone and muscle that the strongest
man. the strongest hitter, and the best
boxer in America will not be able to
make an impression on"

ton

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16-Willis
Britt has been heard from. He will
arrive in the city today and he and
Ketchel will take their departure for
New York. where Ketchel is to box
Sam Langford before the Fairmount
Athletic club. This date set by the
club, September g. will not hold how
ever. Britt says Ketchel will not be
ready until the second week in Septem-
Der
yesterday. He said:
I'VE have just got in from the ranges
loaded down with deer meat. Ketchel
is in great shape and weighs 1S5 pounds
We are going from here by stage to
Cazadero and will take the train from
there to San Francisco. We should he
in the city tomorrow night or early
Monday morning.
Britt said something about the harsh
criticism of the sporting writer's.
They bounded us into the mountains,
and now they are Gliding us because we
stayed here
He was reminded that he had entered
into a contract in Ketchers behalf for
a fight with Langford in New York and

That was several days ago and l hone
the F'airmount club people got my wiz.
Anyhow, everything is in good shape
now. We are going right to San Fran
cisco and will start east without de-

Asked how Ketchel would make
weight for Langford, in view of the
fact that he weighs 1875 pounds, 1rltt
said:
"N1e haven't agreed any weight in
the Langford bout but we will make
weight if they want it,
Sports Are Hopeful.
In the full belief that the stumbling
blocks encountered so far by Jeffries
and Johnson are no more serious than
those which have been met with in
other championship affairs, there is
feeling among thinking sports that all
will vet be well in connection with what
promises to be the most sensational
ring event of many, many years.
II is felt that Johnson, despite his
eccentricities, will leave no stone un-
turned to place himself in the best of
condition for the big event and many
are wondering what kind of prepara-
ton JEFF Will give himself
There is reason for this curiosity, lof
anyone who has followed jeff In MS
training knows that from time to time
he has varied his methods. Early In
his career he believed in clever sparring
nartner After he had established him
self as champion he seemed to derive
more benefit from shouldering three
