JEFFRIES FAVORITE
IN THE BETTING
Heavy Wagering on the Fight by Local
Sports— Root Begins Training.
Eettlr.g on the heavy-weight contest be
tween James J. Jeffries and Thomas Shar
key is growing livelier each day. At Cor
bett'a last night over $0000 was wagered
and up to date the well-known pool-sellers
have handled over 517,000. At a late hour
Jeffries was the favorite at 10 to 6. The
following Is a copy of Corbet mutuel
board and gives a line on how the sports
are betting on the. fight by rounds:
Jack Root, the clever Chicago heavy
weight, began training for his contest
with Alex Oreggains at Croll Gardens,
Alameda' yesterday. Frank Stein, a well-
own Eastern trainer, has the former in
charge and will prepare him for his con
test, which will be held on the evening
of November la fore the Western Ath
letic Club. Root is one of those fighters
who is always in condition, but so anx
ious was he to make himself fit for the

Alex Greggains has not wasted a min
ute In strengthening himself for the fight.
Each flay he goes through "a course of
sprouts" that would give some fighters
a nightmare. He arises about 6 o'clock
each morning, strolls for a couple of miles
and returns and eats a light breakfast,
after which he boards a car and goes out
to the San Bruno road. He la muffled up
with heavy clothes and begins a sprint
back to the San Francisco Athletic Club,
■where he is taken in hand and given a
good rub-down. In the afternoon he bats
the punching-bag for a half hour and
then boxes with Russell, the heavy
weight, Mllletts, a clever middle-weight,
and with all of the clever amateurs who
will spar with him. The latter are al
ways anxious, as Aloe imparts many
points to them.
Gregpains has all the confidence of win
ning the contest. Tie said yesterday he
would either surprise the, people or Root
would surprise him. If he does not
achieve a victory he swears he will never

them.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.— T0 some friends

Bharkey said positively that he would!
knock out Jeffries In fifteen rounds in the j
contest for the heavy-weight champion- !

vised all his admirers to have :-mall bets!
on him. The sailor pugilist made a state
ment after a thorough summing up of his !
own and Jeffries' record as fighter?. \
Sharkey pointed out thai it was an open 1
question as to whether Jeffries could take
punishment or not, while his own capa
city for punishment had been tested thor
oughly with Fltsslmmons, McCoy, Maher
and other noted hard-hitting pugilists.
Personally, the Bailor-pugilist Bald, he did
not think that Jeffries could stand any I
great amount of punishment. He declared ■
in positive terms that he would prove the ]
correctness of his estimate of the Cali
fornian's ability to take punishment when

little larger scale. He possesses tremendous hitting pow
ers, and judging by his work in training, he has the aver
age cleverness of an amateur boxer. Good reports have
been received from the Observatory Athletic Club, where
Revini has won his spurs.
Another contest that will be worth seeing Is that be
tween "Kid" Johnson and Ben Hart, a protege of Rufe
Turner. Johnson is conditioning himself for a hard bout
and la now in fln« fettle. William Condon and Charles
Fred" rleks will meet at 140 pounds the same night. The
bout will be a fierce one, as the boys do not love each
other. "Kid" Wilson and Joe Long are on the card to
meet at 145 pounds. Wilson comes highly recommended
from Angels Camp and will probably put up a good
light. He has no easy task cut out for him, as Joe Long
has won (oca! fame as a scrapper of hisli order.

Jeffries is correct or not their meeting

fact remains that the sailor Is absolutely I

Bharkey showed In his prymnaslum work |
to-day that he is as near the ideal of
physical perfection as possible. There is j
noi an ounce of superfluous flesh on his
body. He is one mass of muscles, and, j
although apparently as hard as nails, is
nevertheless very active. His exercise to
doora to-day consisted of boxing bouta
With Armstrong and Dlxon. bae-punching
and handball and an eight-mile spin on
ad. Although the exercise he took
was of a vigorous and trying nature,
Sharkey did not show distress at any
period of his work. He is perfectly trained
and says that he never felt better pre- ;
pared for a fight than he does at present.
Many persons have been of the opinion .
that Sharkey made a mistake in extend-
Ing the time of battle one week, so as
to give Jeffries an apportunity to pot his
Injured arm into proper shape again; t.ut
the sailor said this idea was an erroneous
one.
"I need the extra week, I gaiess, just |
as much as Jeffries, so my friends need
have no concern about my being over
trained, T am just in the right condition,
and that's all there is to it. '
Be that as it may, "Tommy" Ryan aud |
"Billy" Delaney, under whose supervision
Jeffries has been training at Allenhurst.
N. J., said to-day that they considered
the extra week's time most beneficial to
Jeffries. He looked much better to-day
than he did a week ago, and Ryan and i
Delaney both said that had Jeffries
fought last Friday night he would have
been unable to do himself justice.
The California^ himself believes that
the extension of time was a point in his
favor. He certainly looked well to-day
during his exercise work, which was of a
trying character. He punched the ball
had boxing bouta with Ryan and "Jack"
Jeffries, wrestled with Roeber and played
handball. At the conclusion of his day's
work lie looked in fine shape and showed
no indications of the tired feeling which
is so characteristic of the untrained ath
lete.
Jeffries gave no expression of opinion
as to how long the fight would last. He
said his style of fighting would bo gov.
erned entirely by that employed by Snar
key.
"It may be a short fight and it may
be a long one, but when it is all over I'll
collect the winner's share of the purse."

SUCCESSFUL
DEBUT OF A
CRACK RIDER
Tommy Burns Was on Mag
dalenas, Receiving an Ova
tion — Upsets at Oakland.
Tommy Burns, the Intrepid Middle
Western rider, made his California debut
at Oakland track yesterday, and scored a
signal success. He stayed away from the
Jockey room and mud-bespattered colors
until the last race, when he made the weight
on flying Magdalenas. The event was a
five furlong selling handicap and the mare
opened a 6 to 5 choice, receding later to
11 to 5. Burns comes here with a reputa
tion as a wonder at getting away from
the barrier, and he certainly is good.
Swinging the mare around at about the
fourth breakaway, he was away in front,
leading at one time by a dozen lengths.
The chestnut filly backed up somewhat,
but at the wire he held Novla safe, winning
by a length. Burns was accorded a hearty
welcome as he issued from the paddock
and received quite an ovation from the
assembled crowd as he returned to the
stand on the back of the winner.
As usual, the muddy footing proved
confusing, and several well-backed horses
ran disappointingly. Still, favorites about
held their own by capturing three of the
six events decided.
By long odds the best contest of the
afternoon was the six and a half furlong
sprint for two-year-olds, with Southern
Girl, Bathos, Princess Zeika, Alee and
The Scot as starters. Princess Zeika,
after opening up at 6 to 1 and closing at
10 and 11, turned up winner after a stub
born and desperate duel the last furlong
with Bathos. Southern Girl was always
a prominent favorite in the betting, and
though making a great showing was un
able to concede the weight. Picking up
110 pounds with Bathos, the pair chased
off in the lead, with Ward, on the Prin
cess, trailing behind in fourth position.
As the stretch turn was rounded Ward
made his move, pulling up with the lead
ers. Over a furlong from home the favor
ite was tiring and Bathos looked groggy.
The latter responded gamely, however,
when Jones called on him again, and in
a very close and exciting finish lost by a
scant head. Southern Girl was a lair
third. Alee, after acting badly at the
post, showed to excellent advantage and
will undoubtedly be heard from later on.
Miss Madeline, 0 to 10 favorite in the
betting, took the opening five-furlong spin
from lllilouette, after leading all the way.
Tionza ran a fatr third.
"Butch" Fisher's gelding. Plan, was
quite the thing in the betting on the
seven furlong selling run. In a collision
Just as the barrier was released he had
none the best of it, losing three or four
lengths, and was beaten handily by Mont
allade, the third choice. Jack Martin
rode the winner and made a good Job of
It Don Luis ran an indifferent third.
T. Walsh straddled Castake, favorite
for the mile and a sixteenth free handi
cap, and his saddle work was capital.
He waited on Mamie G until well into
the stretch, where he began sawing wood
and moved to the front. At the last
Reolia came with a rush, compelling
Walsh to ride his mount out to win by
a neck. After opening at 6 to 5 and re
ceding to 9 to 5 Mamie G, the original
favorite, finished third.
The Baldwin stable furnished the sen
sational one in the mile run, for which
Recreation went to the post an 11 to 10
choice. The brown filly dropped in with
Jack Martin and 86 pounds in the saddle,
and sifted along out in the lead. The
favorite made a bid for it at the paddock,
but her legs wobbled and the outsider
crossed the line winner by a head. Show
honors fell to Rainier.
Track Notes.
In the bumping match a3 the barrier
was released in the second event Lodestar
fared badly, losing four or five lengths
to begin with. Songer then made no ef
fort to get up to the leaders. For his
Btrange conduct he was ordered suspended
by the judges for the balance of the week.
In explaining the ride Songer said sev
eral owners had complained about his
unnecessary punishment of their horse 3
and he supposed he was doing right in
not trying to use Lodestar when appar
ently the horse had no chance.
On Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock, at
the corner or Fifteenth and Valencia
streets, 100 head of horses, including many
thoroughbreds and trotters, the property
of Dan McCarty, will be sold at auction.
The stock is now on the premises and
may be inspected by any one Interested.
