10 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.

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.
