San Francisco , Aug. 14. Special
to The News : Will science triumph
over brute force or vice versa at Me
chanic's pavilion tonight ? Will Cor
bett , the idol of admirers of scientific
boxing methods , succumb to Jeffries ,
the Ideal rough and ready lighter ?
These are questions asked and an
swered In the affirmative by sportIng -
Ing men. Some good judges of mat
ters pugilistic are of the opinion that
Corbett's science will earn for him
the title of heavyweight champion
nnd the right to collect 'the winner's
share of the big purse , but the most
shrewd observers say they are con
vinced that the former boilermaker
will again defeat the man who won
the pugilistic crown from John L.
Sullivan.

San Francisco , Aug. 14. Never In
this city has more interest been taken
in a pugilistic encounter than is now
manifested regarding tonight's con
test between James J. Corbett and
James J. Jeffries. Betting , however ,
bas been comparatively light , at the
prevailing odds of 2 to 1 on Jeffries.
The attendance promises to exceed
12,000 , nnd so fast have the tickets
been sold , notwithstanding the big
prices asked , that additional seats
have been placed In the pavilion.
When the time is called tonight there
is not likely to be an unoccupied seat
In sight of the ring. Jeffries Is at the
Reliance club in Oakland , where ho
will remain until a few hours before
the fight. Ho certainly never looked
more fit in his life. Ills muscles
Btand out hard and firm over his mas-
Blvo system and his skin is of that
ruddy hue that characterizes the per
fect typo of physical fitness.
Trainer Delaney said : "Jeffries is
as fast as he can bo , his wind Is per
fect , his condition Is the finest It ever
uas , nnd If ' "oibett whips him he will
bo the woiii'.er of the IIKO. Jeffnoa
himself figures that he will take the
measure of the Olympian In nbnut ton
round * . In hln opinion the mill nuiv
go fifteen , but not more than that. "
When seen at his training num-teis
In Alanu'da. Corbett said : "I would
bo willing to lose one of my arms If
I can defeat Jeffries. I know that he
Is a big. tough follow , but rothlng can
dlseouuiKo mo. If the betting weio
100 to 1 In favor of Jeffries. It wouH
make no difference. I have been doing
everything 'hat mortal man could dT
for the last fifteen months to get Into
condition for this fight and now thn'
I have finished my work. I am
atlafled. I nm fit to make the fight
of my life tonight , nnd If I don't win ,
I never could or never can win against
the man. "

San Francisco , Aug. 14. FranUlu
Nell of San Francisco won the ban
tamweight championship of the world
