"W TO SUE GOVERNOR
Wants Damages. He Says, for
Stopping Big Fight.
LOOKS DARK FOR BATTLE
That Is, in San Francisco — No
i. Legal Steps Taken, but !
* They Are Coming.
San Francisco, June 16. — To " all Intents
and purpose." the Jeflrrt«"s-Jk>hnson cham
pionship fight 1? a pugilistic outcast to- |
I c •.'. M far £s CaSfornia is concerned. If ;
4 » a perfectly pood flght. except that it has
lip scene of hostilities.
Th" fighters aw ready and i are training
faithfully; there is no doubt about tk«
rurs*-. as= n««rly half the money has been
deposited in The banks and the match has
been more widely advertised and has at- {
tracted greater interest than any other con- !
test in recent ring history, yet it is incom- |
plete in one essential detail, for nobody j
knows where it is going to be fought.
■Tex RU-kan! said to-night, however:
"The fight between Jeffries and Johnson
■will take place on July 4. If not in San
Francisco, then I win pull it off in Reno, j
but the fight will be held on the date set
and I shall keep my promise."
Rickard admitted that he did not have
the slightest hope of pulling off the fight :
In* San Francisco and that every day of !
indecision as to where it would take place .
merely increased his financial loss.
If the courts grant an injunction here
I leave for Reno on Sunday morning, and
will immediately begin the erection of an ;
arena there." he said. "My attorneys have
edvised me not to buck the Governor and
the Attorney General, but 1 have agreed
to wait until Saturday.
•It i;- a bitter pill for me and a heavy
"loss, but I will take my medicine and keep
my word to pull off this fight, if it is the
last thing I do." . .
For once Packard was "fight sick." He j
did not deny it. While not yet ready to :
announce it officially, the promoter virtu- :
«!ly admitted that the fight would take
place at Reno.
The statement of Rickard was made soon
after Southern Pacific officials advised the
promoter that six special fight train? had
Wen - cancelled during the day. Rickard
was greatly agitated by this information
End also over the fact that many orders
are being received to cancel orders for
fight tickets.
Rickard has declared his intention of i
FUing Governor Gillett and Attorney General J
Webb for alleged damages sustained be
cause of intervention.
Governor GilJett when told Of Rlckards
plan to sue for damages said:
"If "Tex' Rickard is looking for a fight |
with me. he will get a bigger one than he j
has advertised for July 4."
Of the statement made by Mayor Mc-
Carthy of San Francisco in Chicago last ;
nigh. which criticised the Governor's In
tervention in the fight, the Governor said |
he would issue a formal reply later.
While no legal steps have been taken as :
yet against any of those concerned, Blot,
promoter of me Langford-Kaufman fight, on j
Saturday next, has the published assurances ,
of the Attorney General that an application j
for an injunction against the match will bo ;
made to-morrow. Blot declares he cannot
see how his twenty-round go can be prevent
*><!. and says he will hold it as scheduled,
but his voice lacked conviction when he
a*M it.
As to the big fight. Attorney General
Webb paid to-day that he -would not bother
with an application for a temporary re
straining order, "but would ask for a per
manent injunction. He expects to have his
application on file within a few days. Rick
ard does not intend to contest. He said t-j
<»ay he would immediately transfer the
match to mm other state if the court ruled
I against him. He does not look with favor
f m ■ long l **; contest.
Governor Gillett, whose letter yesterday
to the Attorney General created the great
«- stir in pugilistic circles since Jim Cor
bett defeated John L. Sullivan, arrived from
Sacramento to-day. l*e was positive in do
awme Hi position. The fight could be
■topped, and would be stopped, he declared.
IHe seemed indifferent to the opposition
aroused.
The Governor came to San Francisco to
preside over an exposition mass meeting.
As it has been noised around that the staiua
r( the exposition at Washington had much
•o do -with his "no fieri. order, the sporting
wrlt^rf hastened around to hear anything
relative to th* fight that might slip out.
They were disappointed. Not a word con
rrrnKrig it was spoken at the meeting.
The only real action of the day in the big
Sght situation was a disconcerting one. for
BgM "fans."' Work was stopped on the
construction of the arena. The men were
net actually laid off until to ; day.
Rickard had little to say. He is awaiting
envelopments. If his predictions hold good
he will be able to Fay what town cets the
Sght by to-morrow noon. The promoter's
office ; as been flooded all day with pro
pofals to stage the big show. Reno. Ta
coma. Juarez. Mexico, and several other
places have been suggested, and offers of
all kinds came in during the day.
FIGHT VS. AN EXPOSITION
Some Congressmen Do Not Be

vJe-w-5 characterize the po^sip in the House
to-day ever Use effort of th* Jeffries-Jolm

to have influenced Governor Gillett in the
stand be ■ as taken, was smiling and happy.
Mr. Miller, of Kansas, »■«? one of those
aJisrr.ed with him.
"I v.ould not vote HOT ■ state or a city
that la-Liuui mi prizefighting." paid Mr.
MiJiftr. "I think that a s=ts.te i-hould ob

California members did not believe in
mixing the two questions. Mr. Hayes could
Bee no connection between the fight and
the election of the exposition site. Mr.

"The prizetißht will not affect the expo

"I woulJ not deny the privilege to any

"I am not a prizefight exponent," said
M: Madden, of Illinois, "tut I don't see

NO BOXING FOR JEFFRIES
Gets Word from Rickard That
Makes Him Cheerful.
Ben Lomond. Cal.. June 16.— With a re
assuring telegram from Rickard tacked
under his belt. Jeffries kept serenely at
work at his training quarters to-day. The
telegram from the promoter informed Jef
fries that in spite of the present agita
tion the fight, ln all probability, would be
held in San Francisco.
Mrs. Muirhead. who conducts the resort
where Johnson is training; Tom Little and
the remainder of the party who were at
the Jeffries camp left this afternoon as
soon as it was announced that Jeffries
would not box.
Jeffries refused to dlsciss the Governor"?
order to stop the fight, a.nd to-day seemed
little perturbed by the disquieting news.
He appeared in excellent spirits. *
Ban Francisco. June 16.— Undisturbed by
the legal crisis facing the big fight. Jack
Johnson to-day Instituted the change in his
training programme announced yesterday.
Instead of the twelve-mile run. he began
the day with a brisk eight-mile walk with
his trainer, Tom Flanagan. Returning
from the walk, a dip in the surf wa*: fol
lowed by a game of ball. No boxing will
be done until Saturday.
Johnson said to-day that he was ready
to go anywhere the promoters might desire
in case the fight could not be held here.
He declared that he was in such perfect
condition that he would not ask any post
ponement on account of climatic changes.
-BUGS" ACTS AS REFEREE
Alberts Outpoints Rago in Bo\it
at Long- Acre Club.
Arthur L.. Raymond, of the New York
Giants, better known as "Bugs," played
the part of referee in the preliminary bout
at the Long Acre Athletic Association last
night.
During the first few minutes he behaved
in the most dignified manner. But, alas!
dienity is not for him. and after a short
time he removed his collar and tie and
tossed them into the crowd. He then pro
ceeded to hang his coat on the corner post.
This accomplished, he called loudly for a
cigarette, and a dozen were tossed into the
ring, to the loudly expressed approval of
the crowd.
In the main bout Matty Alberts out
pointed "Young" Rago. Neither displayed
much science and the bout soon became a
pure and simple slugging match— with hon
ors in favor of Alberts.
Frankie Manga outpointed "Young" Bos
sie in the semi-final bout of six rounds.
"Young" O'Leary, the East Side bantam
weight hoxer, will meet Joe "Wagner, of
the West Side, in the main bout of ten
rounds at the National Sporting Club of
America to-night.
TACOMA IN FIELD FOR FIGHT.

local capitalists here to-day authorized the
Tacoma Athletic Association to put up
$]01,<vin and reimburse Rickard and Gleason
for all expenses they have incurred, if they
will transfer the JefTries-Johrlson flght to
the Ta<-oma Stadium. The structure will
seat GajMO persons. A telegram to this
effect was sent to the promoters to-day.
UTAH NOT IN THE FIELD.
Sal: Lake City. I'tah, June 16.— A move
ment to bring the Jeffries-Johnson contest
to this city received a setback to-day when
Governor Spry announced that he raw no
reason to change his former expressed view

BEAUGOUP WINS A SBKE
Carries Mr. Wilson's Colors to
Victory in the Myrtle.
Beaucoup won the Myrtle Stakes for R.
T. Wilson, jr., on the last day of the
spring meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey
I Club at Gravesend yesterday. Creevy
[handled him to good advantage and saved
ground on the rail all the way, but the
Ornament horse was good enough to go
! to the front when the opening presented
and was hardly more than galloping
through the stretch. Up to now Beaucoup
and Olambala have escaped the influenza,
which has afflicted some of the horses in
' the stable.
Far West, which ran so badly in two
1 races at Belmont Park, showed a return
to his best form, and would have been
closer up except for running wide on the
paddock turn, where he lost three lengths
'at least. He never threatened the winner,
; but had no trouble in beating the others,
: which included Wise Mason, Hill Top and
Xorbitt.
The track was a sloppy morass, and the
j starters were limited to horses which were
! supposed to have a liking for the mud. It
I was gloomy overhead, too, except for a
few minutes when the sun struggled out.
■ and a heavy fog made it hard to distin
'• guish the colors of the riders in the first
I two races.
The uncertainties of racing were well
illustrated by comparing; the fifth event
w ith one run on June 9. On the latter oc
casion White Wool galloped t# easy vic
tory, beating Blue Mouse four or five
lengths. The two horses met again yes
terday, and Blue Mouse won, beating White
Wool a good fifteen lengths and at prac
tically the Mine weights.
Blue Mouse met with enough Interfer
ence at the start of the race on June 9 to
account in part for her defeat, but it was
hard to reconcile a difference of twenty
lengths or so in form between her and
WTiite Wool. The latter would not extend
himself yesterday in spite of E. Dugan's
free Ti.se of the whip, even on the back
stretch, and trailed in to the surprise and
disappointment of his owner. R. F. Car
man.
Charlie Hargrave. which won the Ama
teur <'up on Saturday, did not run to his
true form in the handicap at one mile and
a sixteenth, due In part to the fact that
he was *luit off sharply when Garner tried
to go up on the rail rounding the far turn.
He was out of his stride momentarily and
then seemed to sulk. An improvement can
be looked for the next time he goes to the
post.
Foliie Levy ran a surprisingly fast race
in the sloppy going, when she romped over
th*» short six-furlong course in 3 :10 4-f> In
winning the opening event. August Bel
mont's good two-year-old Footprint ran
the same distance over a fast track on
Wednesday in 1:111-5, while Foliie L«evy
turned the distance on June 4 under favor
able conditions in slower time than she
hung up yesterday.
McGee earned the jockey honors with
two winners, while Garner failed to score
for the second day in succession.
RELAY RACE ON FIFTH AVENUE.
Park Commissioner Stover said yesterday
that al! except the finals in tht- Fourth of
July relay races would be held on the
Speedway, instead of on Fifth avenue. The
announcement followed a recommendation

NAPS TURN ON YANKEES
Pull New York Off Top Run^ on
the League Ladder.
QUINN'S WRIST INJURED
Was Pitching a Strong Game
When Forced to Retire in
Sixth Inning.
Cleveland. June 16. -The Cleveland Naps
defeated the New York Yankees here to
day by a score of S to 3. and pulled them
off the top rung of the American League
ladder as Philadelphia won a hard fought
contest with th* VThite Sox. Jack Quinn
was injured in the sixth >nn!ngr. when he
tried to &to<^ a drive off I^joir's hnt. and
was forced to retire from the game.
At first it was thought that his wrist
was broken, but subsequent examination
.showed that he had sustained only a bruise.
He will be out of the game for several
days. The Yankee? tied the score before
Qulnn retired, but Hughes who succeeded
him was not effective, two costly wild
pitches and several hits allowing the Naps
to score three runs and win the game.
Koestner held the Yankees down to seven
scattered hits, and they were unable to do
much with his delivery. The home nine
was more successful in bunching hits. La-
Joie being the player to start trouble twice
with two solid drives. The visitors did not
piay their usual snappy game in the field,
errors by Knight and Gardner letting in
two runs.
The Naps scored two runs In the second
inning. Lajoip led off with a sharp single
to left, and Easterly's drive went for a
single when it bounced off Qutnn's glove.
Although Stovall was an pasy out. Gardner
to Chase, Lord walked, filling the bases.
Bradley then smashed the ball toward
Gardner, and when the latter fumbled La-
Joie tallied Koestner forced Bradley.
Knight to Gardner but Easterly scored on
the play.
Quinn sent the Naps to the bench in
order for the next three innings, and in
the mean time the Yankees tied th« score.
In the fifth inning. Knight, the first man
up. drew a pass, and Austin doubled to
left field, bringing him home. "Silk"
O'Loughlin reversed Pecine's decision, and
called Austin out at third when Koestner
thre Sweeney's bunt to Bradley. Al
though Quinn singled, he was forced at
second on Gardner's grounder to Bradley.
Sweeney overran third base and was
doubled. Lajoie to Turner. In the sixth
the Yankees scored again. With one out.
Chase tripled and raced home on a squeeze
play.
Lajoles drive at the end of the sixth put
Quinn out of the game and gave the run
ner a life at first. Hughes went to the box
and a wild pitch advanced Lajoie to sec
ond. Although Easterly flied out to Wol
ter, Stovall doubled to centre, scoring La
joie. Another wild pitch put Stovall on
third and he tallied on Lord's sacrifice fly
to Cree. In the seventh, Graney tripled to
right field and scored when Knight fumbled
Turner's grounder.
The Yankees started a rally in the eighth
inning, but were unable to overcome the
lead of three runs which the Naps had
taken, although it looked for a time as if
they would be successful. With two out.
Chase double to centre field, and Laporte
walked. Cree singled, scoring Chase, but
Knight forced Cree. Turner to Lajoie. re
tiring the side. The score follows:
