DEADLOCK LIABLE
TO PREVENT FIGHT
Rumor Says Jeffries May Call It Off if
Johnson Holds Out Longer
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
i PERSISTENT rumor was current in sporting circles last night that
A there is likely to be trouble this afternoon when Johnson and Sam
/% Berber, representing Jeffries, meet for (he purpose of selecting a
± Ja. referee. The story goes that in the event of another deadlock over
the third man in the ring the Jeffries people may tall the match off,
on the ground that Johnson has failed to listen to reason in not' considering
r.ny of the five men named by Berger at the last conference.
The situation is a very delicate one at the present time. Each side is
holding out and each threatens to hold out till the bitter end. Johnson has
gone so far as to say that in case the question is finally put to the promoters,
:tnd they name a man not to his liking, he will refuse to enter the ring.
Now comes the story that Jeffries and Berger will play a card of their
own. All sorts of rumors are being spread as to Jeffries' condition. If is
intimated that, in the event of the coninuaion of lie deadlock, Berger and
Jeffries will mount their high horses and refuse to go on with the fight.
JOHNSON BEGINS TRAINING AT SEAL ROCK HOUSE
Jack Johnson opened his training at the Seal Rock house yesterday after
noon with eight rounds of boxing such as no other fighter ever went through
around this city the first day out. The big pavilion was packed with men,
women and children, and they fairly marveled at the form which the big
black champion displayed. Even the veterans of the game were astonished.
They expected great things of Johnson, but they never imagined that he
would or could cut out such a pace on such short notice.
Unless he has been doing a lojt of secret training, Johnson surely per
formed an extraordinary feat yesterday. As a general rule, fighters, and
especially big fighters, begin by taking it very easy, lest they tip off the
fact that their wind is a bit defective, or that they arc too fat, or that they
arc liable to blow up from overexertioh. But it was not so with Johnson.
He sailed right in like a man who had been at the grind for several weeks,
and he finished without drawing a long breath.
As might be expected, h^ three sparring partners — Kid Cotton, the
husky Chicago black boy. Marty Cutler and Jack Geyer — were not even as
much as playthings in his hands. He did with them just what he pjeased,
and this was no easy trick, either, for each is strong and young and rugged,
;;nd always coming. But the faster tjiey came the more marked was the
champion's golden smile and the more marked was his great blocking.
ROUNDS FULL THREE MINUTE AFFAIRS
. fetch of the eight rounds was a full regulation three minute affair. This
is also put of t!;c ordinary. As all the fans know, it's the common custom
For fighters in training to box minute and one and a half minute rounds. But
John-son wanted to pro the whole route, and he never was looking for the
c;ill of time, either. The more action there was, the better it suited him.
Jack was ever waiting for them to bring on another sparring mate after
be "had ascd one of them up. He kept telling: them to keep on coming fast,
and dared 'th'ein to let their punches go with all their might. Arid they did,
too. but none of the blow., ever penetrated the marvelous defense of the
Mack man unless he willed. When he wanted to take a punch it hit the
mark.
Jade boxed them cleverly, mixed it with them, swapped and countered
with them and then held them helpless before him. In fact, he went
through -every possible motion and trick of the game for the benefit of the
big crowd. Evidently it was his intention to let everybody see that he has
his own particular mode of fighting in various ways.
In the clirithes big Jack could get very mean at times. He would pin
the hands of his sparring mates and hold them while he laughed. Then
again, he would wade right into them, force them to the ropes and make
them ready to take a knockout punch. But he was careful not to cut loose
hard enough to do an}' damage. He seemed content to know that he was
safe all the time.
STRAPPING PARTNER WADES IN FOR SETTO
Cotton proved to be by far the most aggressive, clever and experienced
of the trio. He is a big, strapping colored fellow, with a punch in either
hand and a willing nature. In the second round of his little setto with
the champion the kid went right in after blood, and for several seconds
they mixed it as in a real fight. This brought the crowd to its feet, and
there was great cheering. Johnson dropped his guard long enough to allow.
Cotton to sneak in a couple to the head and body.
This was the signal for a gencrafexchange. The black champion at once
took his cue and tore at his man. He rushed Cotton over to the ropes, but
the kid was game and kept fighting back. Just at the call of time Johnson
looked to be about ready to bring over a finisher in the form of one of his
far famed right hand uppercuts. This round was the most spirited one of
the afternoon and showed Johnson off to great advantage.
In the next round Cotton kept pressing Johnson very closely all the
time, and the champion had to keep moving lively in order to shake the
kid off. Occasionally he would shoot, in that pistonlike left to the face and
send Cotton's head back. But Cotton never faltered. He wanted to keep
right on fighting, and Johnson encouraged him. Thus the champion managed
to get a lot of fine exercise and first rate practice during those three rounds
and the crowd got a fine line on the champion's first real workout.
BLOCKS PUNCHES AND WEARS A SMILE
Marty Cutler came next. He -is quite a contrast to the burly young
dinge. He's very much on the Ketchel order, arid he started right in by
cutting loose with a lot of swings and shifts and the like. But he never
seemed to have a chance of reaching Johnson. The champion just kept hiiri
at an arm's length all the time and did some more golden smiling.
Cutler kept this up for three rounds, and Johnson became more aggra
vating and persistent all the time. He would tie Cutler up with one hand
in the clinches and gently uppercut him with the other. He would get inside
of Cutler's swings and sidestep his rushes with all the class of an artist.
It was great to watch the black champion's movements.
The h^t on the list was Jack Geyer of Denver, who went for tw<?
rounds. <3cyer is also a very well constructed young heavy weight, with
plenty af vim and dash in his makeup. But he does not know much about
the game as yet, and Johnson quickly saw it. For this reason big Jack
allowed Geyer more liberties than the other two enjoyed.
Johnson looks a bit fat around the stomach, but otherwise his appear
ance is that of a man ready for a hard battle tomorrow. Those mammoth
muscles stick out so that nobody can help noticing them. He looms up
bigger and stronger than ever, and there is no question as to his ability as
an all around clever boxer and a systematic puncher from any angle or with
REFEREE SESSION LOOKS LIKE DEADLOCK
They will gather again this afternoon at the Seal Rock house for the
purpose of holding another "referee session." Just now the chances look
very much in favor of a continued deadlock, but there is no telling what
may happen when the meeting is called. Johnson, as usual, will represent
himself, while Jeffries' interests will be looked after by Sam Bergcr. Tex
Rickard and Jack Gleason will be there to look the field over for the club
and possibly to make a few suggestions in the right places.
No more new candidates have appeared lately, which leaves practically
the same field to select from. According to Johnson and Berger,. there has
been no change of heart on either side. This leaves the situation practically
as it was at the last. session; though there is a likelihood that other names
will be brought up and discussed by both parties. As no easterners were
- considered at the last meeting, it is only the more likely that their names
will be mentioned this time.
Some seem to think that a compromise candidate, either local or eastern,
will be slipped in at the eleventh hour, while others are of the opinion that
one of the three men under discussion the last time .will be chosen after
a'lot of wrangling and mud slinging. "Others are positively certain that
they will fail to break the deadlock and that the matter will again be put
«*ver for a' week or 10 days. ' . . . \u0084, -

about an hour.
Among the visitors to. the camp to
day were John A. Kelly, acting mayor
of San Francisco; Sheriff Tom Finn and
Supervisors John L. Herget ; and Con
Deasy. all of San Francisco. Charlie
Eyton, the Los Angeles referee,' dropped
in unexpectedly/ He expressed himself
as astonished at Jeffries' splendid phy-
sical condition.
After completing^ his work yesterday
Jeffries devoted the entire evening 4 to
pleasure. He entertained his family
and close personal friends at; a dinner
and later in. the evening was one of a
large party that went to .a dance, in
Ben Lomond. ; .

Yesterday^ was a busy one in yacht- j

gentle zephyr.
.Six yacht 3 entered the Aeolian club's!

in the Speedwell last. On the beat out
to the Presidio shoals buoy the boats
held together fairly well, while on the
run before the wind to the Goat island
shoal the Speedwell. Merry Widow and
Emma pulled up into the lead, which
position they maintained until the fin
ish. For quite a while the Emma looked
like a winner, but being without either
spinnaker or watersail, it lost consid

The Corinthian yacht club's final try
out yesterday to decide upon a de
fender for the San Francisco perpetual
challenge cup was for the second time
won by Stevens' Ruby over Vice Com
modore" McFarland's Discovery. The
contest between these two little sloops
was one of the best races ever seen on
the bay, for it was fight from start to
finish. The Discovery crossed the start
ing line 1 minute and 33 seconds ahead
of its smaller opponent and finished but
a scant 4 seconds ahead. Both yachts
were sailed for all they were worth
and the race narrowed down to a mat
ter of sailmanship, at which game
Stevens seemed to have a little on Mc-
Farland. The boats sailed the full
challenge -course.
Though 11 yachts started in the San
b rancisco yacht club's race but two
of the boats finished— the Challenger
and Monsoon, the former being the
winner. The race, which was started
from in front of the clubhouse, was
spoiled by the lack of breeze, and the
boats met with great difficulty in cross
ing the starting line, the limit boat
with its half hour handicap crossing
but a few minutes ahead of the scratch
boat. Among the starters were the

state university. V. Zednick of the Uni
versity of Washington, William Hay
ward of the University of Oregon and
D. W. Burbank of Stanford university.
Merritt was elected secretary. '
The new organization decided to hold
an annual conference meet to take placft
on the fourth Friday 'of each April on
the University of California's cinder
track.
A constitution and bylaws ar« under
preparation and invitations will be
sent to the University of Southern Cali
fornia. Pomona, Occidental and St. Vin
cent's colleges of southern California..
University of Arizona. Washington
state college. Oregon agricultural col
lege and Whitman college.
Saturday's meet was a financial a*
well as athletic success, as after pay
ing all the traveling expenses of all the
Visiting athletes there was a surplus of
something over $200 as a foundation for
next year's.- meet. As all the future con
tests will follow the California-Stan
ford dual meet by but a week, the local
college men should be at their be&t.
and visiting colleges will find it difficult
to carry off the honors.
The announcement of the organiza
tion \u25a0of this association has created
great enthusiasm among the college
athletes of the coast, and it will mean
much for the athletic development of
the wrst. P^very section of the United
State? has. had its conference meets tor
years back, and the PaH*i<: coast col
leges, largely through the efforts of
Ralph P. Merritt of the University of
California, who has handled the matter
single handed, will now have an organi
zation equal to any.
Unfortunately six of the Stanford
entries of Saturday were forced to tnkt*
their final examinations on the day nf
the meet. These athletes, had ti.ey
been able to participate, undoubtoilv
would have changed the final result rua*
terially. Reed, Cole man, Wyrniin.
Wooley, Porter or Lee would have been
point winners that would have chaftst"!
the score without a doubt. As the fu
ture meets will be held prior to exami
nation time there will be nothing toi
prevent a full entry list of cardinal ath
letes.
