satisfactory The principals have demonstrated that they are fit to battle for their lives even now Stuarts mammoth coliseum is half finished and the weather has moderated mod-erated sufficiently to please everybody An infusion of objectionable characters is being carefully guarded against by the state and municipal authorities and sure thing manipulators are I weeded out immediately their presence is detected Referee George SlIer has conferred with the men with whom his decision will mean glory or disgrace and they have agreed to abide by his interpretation interpreta-tion of the rules under which they will contest Governor Sadler and Sheriff Kinney have been quietly gathering about them trusted deputies who are placed on the pay roll as fast as their services arc required The taxpayers are not grumbling over the additional burden thus placed upon them and the householders disoense latchkeys with a I reckless liberality and unbounded confidence con-fidence In their guests From halfcompleted plans of the arena now on exhibition 1200 tickets have already been sold and a number of sections yet remain untouched These sections will be reserved for special excursion parties from the east and elsewhere who have already spoken accommodations Ring patrons in distant dis-tant cities thus stand an equal show of getting seats with those who are near the ground I Visitors are beginning to shed their overshoes today the sidewalks and street corners having been dried by the warm sun The roads are a little deep with mud but the sandy loam rapidly absorbs the water and biked

sparingly Three hot games of handball were next on the schedule after which Woods ana Jeffries took their gruel with the mittens I mit-tens The Los Angeles wonder is be coming speedy and he worked some I surprises I on Jim before the champion JIm J dropped to his style Im learning a great deal puffed Jeffrjes after he had stopped a few lefts with his cheek but its rather discouraging I dis-couraging to reach out all the time I If I could only I and find nothing I get in just one punch every day i would I satisfy me but even that is denied me Pon me soul declared Billy I Woods I have not been able to smell anything since we began training Me nose has been battered up every timeout time-out and the mon that invented that pneumatic face protector evidently could not tell limburger from rosewater rose-water He made no provision for nose at all Jim keeps scoring bullseyes all the time timeROMPED ROMPED WITH YARUM Billy Delaney is supreme in the rubdown down room and Charlie Vgiite has beeii I installed as adviser extraordinary Fits simmons gave his cook a few pointers on broiling beef steak today The baa roads prevented him from visiting the city and he roamed about the rancn with Yarum his pet dog Instead Ernest Roeber left his mark on the Cornishmans face yesterday and Bobs j thin lips are puffed out like a split watermelon His nose is l slightly on the bias and black streaks about the lids of his left eye attest the sturdy Teutons hitting power When told of the gory encounter in which Fitzslm mons received such hard treatment his friends wink and intimate that the Australian Is tampering and creating a false scent to influence the betting No one doubts Bobs ability to keep away from so ponderous a boxer a FJoeber and sc the talent conclude that he is up to tricks Certainly his work has been very clumsy thus far possibly for the purpose of misleading Corbetts friends who watch him daily More discriminating observers however incline in-cline to the belief that the crafty Bob is accustominJ himself to receive pun ishment in order that he may be able to top a few of Corbetts blows pre iminary to landing his own deadly short arm hooks I With the exception of Corbetts manager man-ager Brady nobody is disposed to do any betting In all championship battles bat-tles heretofore one man has entered the ring a pronounced fayorite On form Fitzsimmons should control the long end On class Corbett easily leads Sporting writers vary their opinions to suit their hearers and friends of both heavyweights are not indulging in any loud talk Quarters were reserved today for John L Sullivan who will describe I the fight for an eastern paper Wyatt Earp who has a similar engagement and Professor John Donaldson Cor I II betts old sparring partner and warm
