Jeffries of California, cham pion hea-y-.weight pugilist of the world, and Robert Fitzsimmone, whq has hopes of regaining the champion ship honors he lost to Jeffries at Coney island three years ago, met in the arena of the national athletic club tonight to contest again for the supremacy. Thei, men were matched to , ho wcKi rounds. From the hour the match wasTl made Jeffries was a decided favorite over Fitzeirmnons in the toetting. Those wno staked their money on the cham pion had in mind the fact that he did the trick once and they toelieved could do it again. Besides, the champion a most decided advantage in regard to age and In addition he is aller, heavier, and has slightly longer reach than the Cornishman. It was conceded by all followers of the game that Jeffries had improved in science since he won the championship. He was no longer the free-arm fighter of the dashaway school. His best hold was a left rip, such as Dixon used with great execution in his palmy days. He was also handy with the right at the ribs. He was quick on his feet gritty and aggressive and with his many natural advantages it seems difficult to figure out how the Cornish man could withstand his sledge-hammer blows. In the old days Jeffries slashed out in a wholesale way, paying little regard to pugilistic economics. He had a habit of striking with the big joints of his thumbs. As a consequence he freauentlv crinmlAri hie hane yUr ln the contest, and for the balance of of a heavy sea. During the tpast three years, however, he has met and de- f eated a, number of good men. and in ! addition has sparred a lot with such jpast masters -of the craft as Tommy ' jxyan, ana it was considered but nat ural that he should derive toenefit from keeping such good company. With these facts borne in mind it was difficult to figure out how the Cornish man had any show to lower Jeffries' colors. But those toest acquainted with ring matters felt that FtttzsimmOns was no ordinary mortal. He has outlived, in an athletic sense, all the middle and heavyweights of his generation. He had reversed the rule toy "building up in muscle and substance when symp toms of physical shrinkage might be looked for. He is to all intents and purposes a late flowering plant, and it was considered possible that the respite 3Ln . While shrewd bettors naturally favored tne . cnampion there were many who were prepared not to be surprised if victory perched on the (banners of the lanky Bob. HONORS CONFERRED Washington, July 26.
