: Every fight bug in Spokane,
every fight bug in Reno (the blaz-
ing little town thanked on one side
by the eternal mountains and on
the other by the Internal desert),
every fight bug in the land today
has his own very particular guess
about how long the colossal fight
fest will last, and about how IT will
end. Well, without further pre-
ambling, here's my guess:
1 GUESS that the fight will not
be a short one, unless Jeff shows
that he is an old man now, and
can't stand real punishment long.
The 60 may last over 80 rounds, but
very probably the end may come
somewhere between the twentieth
and thirtieth rounds.
If Jeff Is not an "old man" and
can stand as much punishment as
he did in his old ring battles, he

II any question has arisen
in regard to Jim Jeffries'
condition, it has to do with
his boxing, and while there
has been an almost constant
cry on the part Of his admir-
ers for more glove work, it
has not been until the past
week or so that things have
come to a crisis within his
own camp.
Jim Corbett, supposed
Moses who was chosen to
lead big Jim out of the will
derness of uppercuts and left
jabs, has shown signs of re-
bellion. Taking to heart the
many criticisms offered be-
cause of Jeffries' failure to
do more boxing, and feeling
that some odium attached to
him, the ex-champion be-
came quite free in his talk of
Jeffries' evident indiffer-
ence.
Jeffries, Corbett insisted, needed
more boxing. Whether he is heed
Ing the public cry or trying to spare

Anything wrong, sir?" asked his
chief clerk, anxiously approaching his

There was no reply. He neither saw
nor heard the speaker. Finally he
asked family:
''At what hour does the Indian mail

"Then 1t is impossible"

means of ladder, which they drew
up after them. They were warned
that it was not high enough. but were
