Abstract: We consider a two-type contact process on $$ in which both types have equal finite range and supercritical infection rate. We show that a given type becomes extinct with probability 1 if and only if, in the initial configuration, it is confined to a finite interval $[-L,L]$ and the other type occupies infinitely many sites both in $(-infty,L)$ and $(L,infty)$. We also show that, starting from the configuration in which all sites in $(-infty,0]$ are occupied by type 1 particles and all sites in $(0,infty)$ are occupied by type 2 particles, the process $h{o}_t$ defined by the size of the interface area between the two types at time $t$ is tight.
