THE HERALD'S SPORTING NEWS
JEFFRIES PLANNING WORLDWIDE
TOUR AFTER HE WHIPS JOHNSON
TALKS OF HIS PLANS AND IS ARRANGING AFFAIRS SO HE CAN
GET AWAY
Itinerary Includes Long Trip Through the African Jungles in Search
of Big Game, Accompanied by Moving Picture Artists and
Machines and a Retinue That Will Make the Standing
Army of Cuba Look Like Platoon of Police—Continues
Long Runs Over Hills and Is Waiting for Berger
to Come and Arrange for Temporary Quarters.
Flynn Begins Work — Feels Confident
JAY DAVIDSON
\r EWS that Jeffries had started light training and WM passing a great
\ deal of his time at home in wood chopping and outdoor work as a part
of the daily routine attracted an unusual crowd to the champion's
home yesterday afternoon, and the big fellow actually could not resist the
temptation to give them a dandy welcome, despite that he prefers to he left
all by his lonely from now until July. Jeff dislikes anything approaching
adulation because of his extreme modesty, but he always is at home to his
friends. When the camera fleds showed up Jeff raised his hands and re
signed himself to the fate that awaited him. He posed for all of them, but
only replied with a grin when any of them attempted to talk fight with htm.
About the most important e%'ent of the day at the Jeffries home after
the road work and his turn at wood chopping was the statement by Jeff
that he is arranging his affairs so that he will be able to leave for the long
roundabout trip around the world that he practically has agreed to make
for a Denver syndicate. Jeff confirmed the news dispatches to the effect
tluit he bad not signed any contracts yet. In the proposed itinerary is a
trip to the jungles of Africa for a long season of big game hunting, and the
plans for this trip include almost an army of attendants such as stenograph
ers, camera men, moving picture outfits and the like. Jeff will try to outdo
Roosevelt on this trip by getting more big game of all varieties than the
former president bagged. Jeff feels that his little affair with Johnson will
qualify him for any kind of a runln that he may encounter in the Jungle
town territory. In addition to the trip to Africa, he will visit practically
every nation on the face of the earth and show the natives just what sort of
a chap the real champion looks like.
Plans Side Line of Diversion*
Although he has settled down to a sort of daily routine of work in order
to prepare himself for the harder grind that must follow when he goes into
active training, the big boy has not entirely cut out all forms of recreation
and pleasure. He said yesterday that he had accepted invitations for a num
ber of events for next week, among them being the following: Hunting with
Hopperstead and party Tuesday at Alamitos Bay club; fishing trip off San
Pedro with Luke Kelly and a few friends next Sunday; trip to the desert
country with Jack Kipper next Wednesday to try out n. couple of Russian
■tag hounds that were presented to the champion recently.
Jeff will not put in much of his time down town from now on, as he
■ays he will be too busy attending to his own business to be loafing around
the streets or pursuing pleasure, as was his wont before the necessity for
coming out of retirement arose. Instead he will stay at home most of the
time until Sam Berger gets here, in about ten days, after which he will es
tablish temporary training quarters in which to do such light work as may
be mapped out for him as preliminary to starting upon the regular routine
that will be his portion when he goes into regular training quarters. Jeff
prefers to locate this temporary camp on his Burbank ranch, but may change
his mind. Jack Doyle was out to see him yesterday regarding the Southside
club as the temporary quarters, but nothing- was done in this regard, and
nothing will be done until Berger, the boss, arrives.
Meantime, the principal work .that Jeff will do will consist in long runs
over the hills and on the road, to Improve his wind, keep him in condition
and prevent him from getting flabby and soft again. He realizes that he is
in excellent condition now for beginning training and does not propose to per
mit anything to upset all that has been accomplished in this line so far. He
really does not know much about his training plans, as he has left all these
to Berger, and the salve merchant will be expected to look after all the de
tails, even to employing the training partners and assistants.
Flynn Begins Work with Confidence
Jim Flynn went out to Doyle's club yesterday and located himself in his
favorite training quarters, and will begin hard work this afternoon in prepa
ration for his third battle with Sam Langford. Flynn is more confident than
ever that he will whip the wonderful coon, and says he will make such a
clean job of it this time that there no longer will be any question regarding
his superiority. It will be recalled that Flynn talked this way previous to
their last fight, but local sportsmen thought it was merely the raspings of
a supercharged mind, in an effort of the fireman to whistle up his confidence.
Now they know better, and instead of going to the fight to see just how
Langford works his knockout punch, they will go to see how Flynn will clean
the dinge in a long fight, practically to a finish.
If ever there was one fighter whom the fans wanted to see win, It is
Flynn in this scrap. With Flynn fighting Langford and Jeff matched with
Johnson, the Caucasian race will have pair to draw to that will use up
about all the enthusiasm, and racial pride that is in mankind. Jim always ha 3
been popular here, and one of the best drawing cards in the business, and
now that he has given the Boston terror a genteel drubbing, and is to try
it all over again, ho will have a house filled with friends and rooters. Flynn
will be entertaining big crowds at his workouts as soon as he gets down to
ihe steady grind that he says he will pursue until the day before the fight. If
he ever was In good condition to fight, it was when he met Langford the
last time. He says he will go into th c ring this time in even better condition
and far stronger and more confident, because he knows now that he is the
negro's master. ___^— ——
BIG FIGHT MAY BE
STAGED AT RICHMOND
Gleason and Rickard Unable to Find
Suitable Location and May
Go Outside of San
Francisco
PAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.—Denials
■were forthcoming from both parties to
day to the locally published reports
that Jack Glcason and Tex Rickard
had split over the location of the Jeff-
Johnson fight and that Gleason would
withdraw from the enterprise.
"We are still looking for a site," said
Gleason today, 'and if some nearby
village will offer us a free site for the
area we probably will accept it, rather
than stand for an extortionate rental
for a San Francisco lot."
Rickard and Gleason went to Rich
mond this afternoon to make a further
inspection of the new arena where
Battling Nelson lost his championship
honors Tuesday last.

ASK EQUAL PRIVILEGES
FOR AMATEUR PLAYERS
The next regular meeting of the
Amateur Athletic union is expected to
furnish some hot arguments when the
names of Rice and Swartz are pre
sented tor amateur cards. Manager
Valentino of the Glemlale team wants
the two players for his team and is
making a hard fight for their reinstate
ment. Hoth players were accused of
playing with professionals, contrary to
the rules of the union. While they ad
mith this they claim that they should
be granted t he same consideration that
has been shown to other players who
have committed the .same offense time
and asain. They say that certain
members of the Polytechnic high school
in.in which won the championship last
year,' played on the Hughes team and
nothing was ever said about the mat
ter. It is expected that the union will
act as handsomely toward Swartz and
Rii i- :ts they did to these men. If they
do not, Man»g»r Valentine threatens
to raise a row that will produce re
sults.

GOV. HASKELL'S
HEARING ENDED
Detective Lawler Is Last Witness in
Investigation—Other State
Officials Are to be
Probed
[Associated Press]
QUTHRIE, Okla., Feb. With the
testimony of C. A. Lawler, a detective,
today the investigation of the legisla
tive committee examining the charge
against Governor Haskell that he mil
applied certain state funds came to an.
end. Several of the charges against
other state officials are to be investi-,
gated.
I^awler came to Guthrie voluntarily.
For two weeks private detectives had
sought to bring him before the com
mittee.
The statement of I-awler that his
work was confined solely to Standard
Oil investigation caused Attorney Clark
for the investigation to launch into a
long examination of the witness re
garding vouchers showing that he had
been at work from funds which ac
cusers .of Governor Haskell claim
were not appropriated for such a pur
pose.
Lawler was paid $2008 from a $5000
fund appropriated to be "expended by
the governor to employ accountants to
audit the territorial accounts" and $1390
from a $3000 fund which the legislature
designated should be spent by the gov
ernor for an "Investigating committee
and the traveling expenses of delegates
to various national conferences and
emergency cases."

WHOLESALE MURDER
PLOT SUSPECTED
FORT WORDEN OFFICIALS IN
SEARCH OF GANG
Missing Soldiers Posted as Deserters
May Have Been Killed and
Bodies Disposed of,
Is Theory
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Feb. 25.
—The murder of Private Kubert B.
Dutmn last week, and tlio llnding ol"
I In- body of an unidentified man near
Fort Worden yesterday, coupled with
the disappearance of a number of sol
diers during the last year, has led uf
flcsra at the post to believe that a.
gang o£ raurderen has established a
rendezvous near the fort, and detach
ments ol artillerymen were sent out
today In an attempt to trap the out
laws. Until a late hour tonight tlio
deepest recesses of the woods were
.scoured, but no clew was found lead
ing to the murderers' lair.
The first intimation that wholesale
murders have been committed at the.
fort was the rinding of the body of
Dumin last week. It was discovered
at the base of a precipitous bluff and
gave every indication that the man
had met death by violence. He had
been robbed of everything of value. A
soldier beloved to be connected with
the death of Dumm was arrested a
few day.s later and is being held pend
ing investigation.
Immediately after the finding of
Duinins' body, officers at the post or
dered a search ire of the surrounding
country, fearing that other soldiers
who had mysteriously disapepared, and
who were posted as deserters at the
time, had been victims of foul play.
In nearly every instance of suspected
desertion, the man was nearing the
end of his term of enlistment and was
well supplied with money. The finding
of the body yesterday near the place
where Dumm's body was found tends
to confirm the. theory that several
murders have been committed.
The body found yesterday has not
been identified. It is in such a state of
decomposition that the only possible
menns of identification is through the
clothing found on the body.

children there are usually a lot of dog"-
