JEFFRIES, WITH GOVERNOR AS GUEST,
WORKS FOR MOVING PICTURE MACHINE
Big Boy in Playful Mood and Stands Inspection of Record-Break
ing Crowd Without Growling—Charlie White Agreed on by the
Fighters and Promoters as an Acceptable Substitute for
Tex Rickard as Referee— Nevada Executive Says Smoke
Is the Faster but That the White Champion Is Much
Stronger— Fight Fans Are Rapidly Filling Reno
KENO, Nev., Junj 29. —Charles White, the widely known New York
sporting man, was appointed second referee of the Johnson-Jeffries contest
on July 4 tonight by agreement of tho fighters and Promoter Rickard.
White will be at the ringside, and in case of accident to Rickard will
step into the ring and carry on the contest.
The appointment of White followed quickly tonight on the receipt of a
telegram by Manager Flanagan for Johnson which stated that Francis Nel
son of Toronto, Ont., Flanagan's choice for second referee, could not serve.
Nelson said that other engagements prevented his attendance.
Flanagan carried the message to Rickard and stated that he would ac
cept White, who was proposed by Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager, who also
offered the name ot Bat Master son. Rickard threw hia vote for White and
announced the latter was formally appointed.
[Associated Press]
RENO, June James J. Jeffries, the un
defeated, held the center of the stage today '
against all comers. After tricking the public I
out of a chance to witness his Monday work
out and refusing to work at all Tuesday, he j
went Into action against his sparring part- I
ners late today, with Governor Dicker of
Nevada as guest of hon>r and the whole !
sporting fraternity now gathered here as eye ;
witnesses. There were 1000 spectators at the |
bout, not including the n loving picture ma- i
chine, which means perhaps millions.
The exodus from town began shortly after [
noon. Word of Jeffries' Intention to go to j
.work was well noised abroad, and by the time
the show at Moana had started the hotels
and streets of the city had been deserted by
the fight enthused throngs which have made
them lively for a week post.
The street cars to tie springs were packed
to the roofs, and every automobile In town
was given at least one run to the suburbs.
By the time Jeffries slipped through the ropes
and began ft short spell of gymnasium work I
for the benefit of the picture machine there |
was hardly room enough left for him to
operate. The crowd almost Invaded the ring
Itself in its eagerness to see him at work. A
solid wall of spectators reached around the
platform and others were perched everywhere,
peeling at the white giant.
JEFF SHOWS SPEED
In all Jeffries did six rounds of boxing,
two with Joe Choynskl, two with "Brother
Jack" and two with Sam Berger. Jeffries ap
peared to be In high spirits. He went through
his work with lots of snap and go, but the
boxing was not unusualy fast or exciting.
Only In the last go with Berger did the unde
feated speed up. He banged away at Sam in
a real old knockdown and dragout fashion
during the first round. Sam came back hard.
giving Jeffries the benefit of every blow he
knew. lie knew It was too much for him,
however, and in the second round Jeffries was
compelled to slack, up to keep from putting
his manager down and out.
Tha moving picture men were busy at Jef
fries' camp throughout the afternoon. Long
before the big boy was ready to get into the
ring for his promised workout the machine
had been set up and views of everything
around the camp were recorded.
The solid rank of war correspondents wis
swept by the unwinking eye of the mechan
ism; then It moved on, surveying the hotel
porch where groups sat about the tables im
bibing long, cooling drinks, circled the stroll
ing squad of sightseers and took careful note
of every camp -attendant. finally winding up
with a glance at Jeffries' cottage, ln front o{
■which a score or more friends were gathered,
Jeff looming up like a giant among the men of
ordinary size about him.
BIG CROWD ON HAND
With this preliminary work accomplished,
tie- machine was quietly dismounted and set
up again in a position which gave it command
of the ring. This done, the thronging crowd
which had jammed and speezed itself Into
every available nook from which the canvas
square could be seen, awaited the coming of
the great undefeated.
As the crowd looked on an automobile
swung into the square, bearing Governor
Dlckerson, Warden Maxwell of the state pris
on, and Captain Cox of the step police. It
stepped before Jeffries' cottage and the fighter
came forward, clasping hands with the gov
ernor as the latter climbed out of the ma
chine. The four chattel fur several minutes,
Jeffries smiling broadly at various sallies by
the visitors, then turning into tie cottage to
prepare for work.
A few minutes later he stepped through the
ropes, clad In his blue ring costume, and the
picture machine began to buzz. Paying not
the slightest attention to the throng of nearly
a thousand persons grouped about him, Jef
ries began skipping the rope. From that he
turned to the punching bag, hammering away
with his huge arms until the air rang with
the blows. Shadow boxing came next, and
the giant dan about the ring easily, almost
gracefully, considering his enormous size.
The perspliation was coming freely when he
stopped, and dropping his dumbbells he held
out his hands for the big gloves. As soon as
they were fastened Jos Choynskl stepped for
ward and the long expected boxing was under
way.
810 BOY KITTENISH
The bouts with Choynskl, Brother Jack and
Berger came in quick succession. Until they
were over not a man in the crowd removed
his eyes from the ring. When tin was
cahed on the last round the crowd surge on
the, platform, eager to secure a near,view of
the glunt pugilist. Jeffries did nut seem to
resent the Invasion, end before he departed for
Ins rubbing room engaged in a playful scuffle
with one of his particular friends who had
pressed forward. It was hugely enjoyed by
trie throng,
Beginning today, Jeff confined his drinking
to his distilled water. This was done by
the advice of his trainers It order to assist
the "drying out process" on which he has
begun, the last step in his training. It also
was deemed advisable because of the amount
of mineral found in the water at this spring.
This. In addition to the regular physic pre
scribed by the trainers would, It was feared,
cause him seme inconvenience an it was
thought best to abandon tiie natural water.
In preparation for tie battle July -1. Jef
fries recently ordered a big sunshade which
Is to protect hira between the rounds. The
shade resembles a huge palmleaf inn, four
an da half feet in diameter. It will be spread
over his corner And it will be the duty of
some member of his staff to hold it there
until the gong calls him back to his work
Tho shade was completed and delivered nt
tho amp and proved highly satisfactory to
the fighter., who had it tried out at once.
Johnson, It is said, will be similarly equipped.
JOHNSON ON ROAD
True to his promise, Jack Johnson appeared
for his regular workout shortly alter 3 p. m.
He covered nine miles of road early in the
day, but did not do any other work until
afternoon. Johnson believes In relaxation be
tween hi. working spells and to this plan
the camp owes much of its amusement.
After he returned from the sprint today
ho plunged into the fun around the resort
and became the leading spirit whenever there
was something doig.
It is Johnson's way of resting and he plays
around the place like a frolicsome schoolboy
bent on mischief, Not one sign does he show
that he ever thinks of the near approach of
the Fourth of July, what the five days may
mean to him. The big man Is as happy as a
lark and seems the least Interested person nt
th.- camp in the before tho battle talk._
Kaufman, Monchan and Mills were' the
champion's victims today. The bouts lacked
the excitement of those staged yesterday In
honor of Governor Dickerson's presence,
Johnson dropping back to hit easy. alii. in
dolent playing with Ills partners. Four
rounds with Kaufman were much like they
have been on every day except yesterday.
AI took the lead and Jack stopped about all
the leads, apparently without effort. Mona
ban followed in four more rounds. As Is
usual, Jock's loft brought blood from the
. Irishman's nose ml lips. That seems tn P.
one of the things Jack alms for from the
I start, and as soon aa It is accomplished he
reduces his speed.
Dave Hills was subjected to Jack's love taps
1 for two rounds, and this closed the day's
workout.
: Johnson appeared well satisfied with every
j thing, and ambled off to the rubbing room,
smiling cheerfully.
MANY WOMEN PRESENT
The crowd which witnessed the workout was
! the same as yesterday, perhaps 200 persons. A
larger percentage of women were present today
than on any previous occasion.
In a conference with Tex Rickard, referee
and promoter of the Jeffries-Johnson fight,
Johnson today agreed to right in a ring
twenty-two feet square. This suits Jeff, nnd
the matter of ring dimensions, never before
given deep consideration by the principals,
' has been tied.
The question of the thickness of the pad
i ding to be stretched over the floor of the ring
lls still open. The laws of Nevada contains
! nothing on the matter and the principals have
I not yet agreed as to how much canvas must
be under their feet when they face each other.
They will slate their requirements tomorrow.
'Phis Is how Governor Dlckerson compares
Jeffries and Johnson, after seeing both fighters
work out:
"Jack Johnson, in my opinion, is a faster
man than Jim Jeffries, but I don't think there
Is the power behind his blows that Is behind
Jeffries' punches. He Is cleverer than Jef
fries, apparently, and I think his defense is
harder to penetrate than that of the white
champion. It Is safe to say. I think, that
Johnson will hit Jeffries more times than Jef
fries hits Johnson, but his blows will not have
the same telling effect. I would not care to
venture a definite opinion about the result of
the fight, as I really know nothing of these
contests. The only ring contest that I have
ever witnessed was the fight between Joe _v a
and Jimmy Brltt at San Francisco three
years ago."
"Do you mean the occasion on which Brltt
broke his ulna hone in the fifth round, gov
ernor" a bystander queried.
"I mean," said the governor, with a bland
smile, "the time when Brltt is supposed to
have broken his ulna bone."
A laugh followed. . The governor continued:
"Jeffries is a much more rugged man than
Johnson, and does not as nearly represent the
type of the expert boxer."
Tho governor expressed his opinion after the
Johnson workout today.
GLEASON AND CORBETT SHUT
UP OFFICES AND GO TO RENO
PAN" FRANCISCO. June 29.—With the de
parture tonight for Reno of Jack Gleason and
Tom Corbett, the last active link connecting
San Francisco with the Jeffries-Johnson fight
was broken. Before his departure Gleason
closed the general ticket office which the
promoters have been maintaining here, and
will re-establish it at Reno. Corbett's mission
to Reno is to establish an official poolroom, at
the Instance of Tex Rickard, who has named
him official betting commissioner for the
fight.
Before leaving tonight Corbett announced the
odds have again length to 10 to 6, with
plenty of Johnson money in sight at that fig
ure. He also said that as soon as he arrived
in Reno he will make arrangements with the
poolrooms handling the local betting to main
tain the olds in both cities at the same
figure.
Considerable money win be wagered here on
the probable duration of the fight. No definite
odds have bet set yet, but It is likely that
even money that Johnson will not stay twenty
rounds will be offered.

Rialto Gossip
Cnstleton seems to Improve with each suc
ceeding game, and the confidence which the
fans had In his ability to beat the Senators
yesterday was more than Justified by his per
formance. He allowod four scratch hits, but
took particular care to see that they pulled off
no scoring stunts. He has fearfully wide
Curves and would fool Wagner, splits the plate
In the heart and has the finest control of any
southpaw seen in action on a Coast league
diamond this year. Ho has not lost a game
this seas and seams to be so blamed good
t*__*"t__ rivals for pitching honors will be Up
against it during the next four months of
play. Nothing seems to rattle him, although
he never has gotten Into a hole where It
would be possible for him to get the least bit
nervous regarding the result. He certainly Is
tome pumpkins, and Hen Berry made a ten
strike when he landed him. It Is a safe bet
that he will be doing business In tho big
brush next season.
Just 157 fight fans who had planned to go
to Reno to see Jeff clean the coon will tie
disappointed, according to application, for
tickets filed with George Hancock of the Berry-
Hancock special. Although two additional
Pullmans were also allowed Berry and Han
cock, Increasing the capacity of the special to
"20 passengers. 157 applications have been re
ceived in the last two days, since all reserva
tions had bean closed. Tickets that were sell
ing for $33 for the round trip on this European
hotel on wheels are worth a century note now.
and Berry said last night that he could fill
another train in one day If he could got the
Pullmans. Somebody suggested that he get
an engine and caboose and run a flat car
I special. When the fans were notified day by
day that delays were dangerous in the matter
of reservations on this special they probably
thought It w_ press agent stuff, but now
they are administering themselves severe
punishment a la self-kicking exercises for fall
ing to take heed.
There will be about 500 Los Angeles fans
at ringside at Reno when the big fellow be
gins mauling Johnson. That will be a good
representation, but it will not be more than
half the number that would have been there
had transportation facilities been more easy
to obtain. San Francisco lias booked 7000
reservations and It looks like the entire sport
ing fraternity of the northern city will be
on hand for the celebration. Word from
Frisco has been received here by several In
dividuals that all the specials running out of
that city are filled to the guards and that
no room is available. Reservations on reg
ular trains are far in excess of the Pullman
accommodations. It looks tough to the mil
lionaire who has a pocketful of rocks and an
automobile that he cannot get to the fight,
despite that he easily could buy a special
train for his own private use. The rail
roads are taxed to the limit and the Pull
man company Is sending cars to the coast
on rush orders, but they cannot supply the
demand. Alnt it awful. Clarice?
Joe Conley wires from St. Joe. Mo., that
he has arranged a four-round scrap for that
city between his brother Franklo and a dub
bearing the label of Buck Plottell (not Watt
'ell), for July 2 and that he would be tickled
to do some business with Unk Tom. This bout
probably means that the Conleys will be un
able to be at ringside at Reno as they had
Intended. However, arter a short visit at
home they will return to Los Angeele, provid
ing tho local ten-round no decision game sur
vives. Talk of a match between Conley and
Patsy Brannlgan may develop into a mteh for
the middle of July and the fans here would
be tickled to hear the news that these classy
bantams had been matched.
Howard and Bernard are out of the game
for a day or two with injuries of a minor
nature. Howard has a stone bruise on his
right heel and Bernard was hurt slightly Jn
his fall ln right field Tuesday. Dad Wheeler
is playing second for Howard, and Artie Ross
is holding down right field for the doctor. Two
reliable hitters are out of the game, but
Wheeler and Ross are very handy with the
stick themselves, so as long as a bunch of
cellar champs are playing here there is no
necessity for becoming alarmed.
Little Lord Fauntleroy has leased a grape
vine telegraph wire and has arranged to
furnish the returns round by round from ring
side July 4. He will entertain the fans who
stay at home at the old Elks' hall with a
bulletin of each round, and probably will
have the only show of Its kind In th" city.
Hooray, for the Lord! Maybe, luck Is break
ing his way once again, and here's hoping
it Is true.
.Teems Morley and Jack Doyle will be among
those who cannot get away to see the big
fight. Morley finds It Impossible to go be

JOCKEY DUGAN GETS INTO
TROUBLE WITH STEWARDS
SEW YORK, Juno '.'II—.In. key Eddie
Pagan's career us ii rider has received
a check at the hands of the stewards of
(he _lieeps_e_d Bay race track. Charged
with flagrant rough riding on _____
Belmont's loot Print in the Surf stakes
yesterday, the steward* have ordered his
suspension for the balance of the meet
ing anil have referred his case to Hie
Jock*} club stewards for further con
sideration.
■hip on two of the biggest '->_ of __ Mason,
and Doyle lias th" same excuse. it gives both
a grouch to think about being absent when
the roll Is called up yonder, but It cannot be
helped. Morley Is trying to pacify himself
by driving his new sixty-horsepower Steams
around town. It helps some, but away down
In ins heart he longs to be there when the
big fuss starts.
Conversation Rally, who has been trying for
several weeks to get ft match here with
.rankle Conley for Patsy Brannlgan, is almost
discouraged at the prospect of bringing his
crackerjack to the coast. When he heard yes
terday that efforts might be male to put the
kibosh onto tho local ten-round boxing game,
he began to talk about going back to New
Orleans. Sportsmen generally do not believe
any action will be taken to prevent these
ten-round, no-decision bouts, as an ordinance
that would prevent them would of necessity
shut down all the boxing in the city, amateur
and otherwise, or be open to attack as class
legllsatlon. As long as McCarey conducts his
Naud Junction shows on the same high plans
that has characterized all his shows, general
opinion seems to favor a non-interfering pol
icy. It certain does no harm and provides
a most welcome oasis In this desert of popular
pastimes. Nearly every form of popular sports
is under the ban ln this state now and only
this is left.
Governor Saunders of Louisiana Is mentioned
as the probable successor to the late Senator
McEnery. Racing men throughout the county
will rejoice Indefinitely If he falls to gratify
his ambition to gain a seat in the upper
house of the national law making body, be
cause it was this same governor who was
elected by the votes of sporting men in .New
Orleans when the other portions of tho state
were against him and he was running on a
pledge to help secure favorable legislation for
the sport in that state. He turned his back
on his friends as soon as he was sworn in,
throwing a bomb into their camp in his in
augural address by advocating stringent anti
rnclng legislation. His recommendations were
carried out and racing was killed in the state.
Van Haltren, who has been officiating
for the last ten days as sole arbiter of
games on local diamonds in the Coast league
chase, has been panned more in that time
than any other umpire ln the league. Van
hag had two or three bads days, especially
on balls and strikes, but tills is one of the
frailties of human nature, it being Impos
sible to be perfect all the time. Van is as
fair and impartial as any of them, and
tries to give his decisions accordingly. It
is a tough Job for any one man to attempt
to watch the bases and call balls and strikes
and have his eyes everywhere oil the time.
It is another strong argument In favor of
the double umpire system, and the Coast
league magnates owe it to the fans in
all the league cities to adopt this system.
The pennant race Is too close and exciting
for any halfway measures, and It is nothing
less than short-sightedness on their part to
delay engaging at least two more umpires.
Jimmy Toman Is badly wanted as one of
the new umpires, and the league magnates
can make a big hit by adding him to the
staff right away and giving Los Angeles
the same favor that Frisco always enjoys —
two umpires. While Finney is at Portland
and Van Haltren Is here, Frisco is enjoying
the services of the two best umpires ln the
league, Ilildebrand and McGreevy. It Is
unfair and this rabid favoritism policy of
the magnates is not going to bear any good
fruit.
Mose Hamburger has returned from his
trip to the Orient and reports a pleasant
combination of business and pleasure on
the trip. He will not be able to attend the
great matinee at Reno, but will bo pulling
for Jeff to win, nevertheless.
Announcement is made by Tex Rickard that
lie will continue to do business as fight pro
moter in future at Reno, the new arena being
made a permanent structure with that object
In view. He is figuring on holding a double
header show there on Labor day, expecting to
land Nelson and Wolgnst for one and Burns
and I_ngford for another. It is a safe bet
that Sunny Jim Coffroth will have something
to do with it, as he is scouting around Reno
a whole lot of late.
Monk, the thick-lipped Ethiopian with the
lasso profundo voice, who always sits on the
bottom row of the bleachers and roots for the
home team to win, whether they are winning
or losing, is going to Reno to see his black
friend trimmed. Monk was wise enough to
get in the first application for a Job as porter
on the special, and his irresistible manner per
formed the Influencing stuff that landed the
Job for him.

ANGELS MAKE IT
SEVEN STRAIGHT
Again Defeat Senatorial Aggrega
tion, This Time by the
Shutout Route
UNABLE TO FIND CASTLETON
htzgerald Tries in Vain to Put a
Stop to Los Angeles'
Winning Streak
JAY DAVIDSON
The Angels made It seven In a row yes
terday when they again defeated Sacramento,
whitewashing the Senatorial aggregation by
a 4 to 0 score. Castleton was the stumbling
block to the hopes of the visitors, his great
speed, wide curves and fine control holding
them absolutely helpless thorughout their nine
tries at bat. Only once did the Senators look
like they wanted to score and then they gave
an exhibition that fully explains their pres
ent position In the flag chase. With two
men on bases and none out In the seventh,
they were unable to got a man closer to the
plate than third base, and he was made to
look like a hush leaguer by falling for an
old trick that the local sand loiters would
bo too wise to bite at.
Los Angeles was a bit slow getting on Its
stride, but started the scoring In the sixth,
when two hits yielded the first run of the
game. After Ross had popped to Raymer,
Wheeler cracked the ball for a short rain
bow Journey to short right. Dillon fouled to
Thomas and Wheeler went to second. Mur
phy smashed a corker to center and Wheeler
beat the throw to the plate. Three more runs
were chased over the plate in the eighth,
when the Angels lit onto Fitzgerald for three
clean hits and as many runs. Wheeler
knocked Boardman off his pins with a hot
bounder that went to short left. Dillon bunted
and Fitzgerald threw to Shinn, who muffed
the throw. Murphy raised a Texas leaguer
over Raymer's head and he. Brlggs and Dan
zig raced under It and watched it fall be
tween them, filling the bases with none out.
Murphy tried to steal home and Smith missed
the ball. Thomas catching Murphy at the
plate. Smith hit to Boardman, who Juggled
and Roth scored while he was trying to tame
the ball. Castleton foulod for the third out.
' The Angels were a bit careless ln their base
running or they would have made the score
much more one-sided. In the seventh Delmas
lammed the horsehlde up against the top of
th? left fl?ld fence, being a few inches too
low for a. home run, and got safely to sec
ond, but was thrown out by Perry to Shlnn
In trying to stretch it Into a three-bagger.
He might have scored had he not fallen as
be turned and started back to second. In
this same Inning Van Haltren helped the
Senators to keep the scorn down by calling
a slashing grounder over first a foul. Daley
was on third and Smith on second when Ross
hit a bounder down the first base line. The
ball bounced squarely onto the bag and
bounded oft* into foul territory after crossing
the bag. Van called It a foul and both run
ners had to go back to their bases.
Fitzgerald pitched good ball, at that, allow
ing only seven hits, but the support he got
in the field and at bat was something aw
ful. Six mlsplays are noted in ths error
column by the official scorer and he does not
Include a couple of hobbles that went for
hits when they should have been scored as
errors. When it came time to hat they had
a lot of trouble adjusting their sights and
seldom rang the bell. They will try It again
today and Hunt will probably try his hand
at putting a quietus on the long-winded win
ning streak of the Angels, but as Tozer is
to twirl for the Angels the prospect Is gloomy,
Indeed.

MILLION ATHLETES IN
COMPETITION IN 1910
Statistics Show Remarkable In
crease in Athletic Pursuits
in Last Twenty Years
NEW YORK, June 29.—A historical review
of the department of athletic competition in
the United States, prepared by a committee
from the Amateur Athletic union, shows that
the number of competing athletes in recognised
eve-its has grown In the last twenty years
from a total of about 3000 In 1890, to nearly
1,000.000 at the present time. When the A. A.
U. was formed In 1888 there were not over
fifty athletic clubs In the country, whereas
today there are many thousands.
The first American track and field cham
pionship was held in 1878. The New York
Athletic club arbitrarily took control of ath
letics at that time and gave championship
events until the formation of the N. A. A. A.
A., which was absorbed by the A. A. U. In
1888, since which time all control of amateur
competitions has been under the present gov
erning body.
