JEFFRIES GOING TO CATALINA FOR
BRIEF REST BEFORE HUNTING TRIP
Arrives in Los Angeles on Owl, Alighting at River Station and Go
ing to His Home on Cypress Avenue to Pack Up, After Which
He Goes to His Burbank Ranch-Leaves Monday for Avalon
and Upon His Return Will Take Long Trip to Mountains
in Search of Big Game—Returning Sportsmen Firm
in Belief Big Boy Was Doped or Suffered Collapse
JAY DAVIDSON
According to a well defined and reasonably reliable report received at
last midnight, Jeffries has reconsidered bis announcement of permanent re
tirement from the ring and now is determined to wipe out the solitary black
mark on his otherwise peerless record in the ring. This rumor is to the
effect that the big fellOW is so dissatisfied with his showing against Johnson
and so unhappy at the disastrous result of that fight that he will insist upon
being given a return match within six months. He Is going to Catalina for
a brief rest and then will pass two months in the mountains on a long hunt,
after which he will go into training again and try to redeem whatever pres
tige he may have lost last Monday. When told of the rumor, neither Jeffries
nor Berger would confirm or deny its authenticity, but Berger said that ho
might have something to say later on. ________^____
Quito in contrast with what surely would have born the CBJ» had fate
willed that victory should have rested upon his shoulders. Instead of
favoring the big coon, «v the home coming yesterday morning of James J.
Jeffries dethroned king of pugilists. Only one friend, a solitary newspaper
man, greeted him as ho stepped off th c train at River station early in the
morning and started for his home on Cypress avenue. Jeffries did not
mind this evidence of the fickleness of his supposed friends, and in his
state of mind and heart he probably appreciated their absence more than
he would have cared for their presence.
The big fellow is as near heartbroken as it is possible for a big strong
man to be, and he wants to be left to himself for a while. He went to his
home without submitting to any interview, and indicated his state of
mind by the Blight greeting betwee n himself and his aged parents. Short
ly afterward in company with Sum Berger, ho went to his Burbank ranch,
where he will remain at least until this afternoon. He intended returning to
his city home this afternoon, but may change his mind and stay at the
ranch until Monday, when he intends going to Catalina island for an in
definite stay. Upon his return from the island, he will go to the mountains
for a protracted hunt and unless he changes his mind regarding a visit to
his downtown cafe, It will be a lon,-time' fore the Rialto will be graced
with his presence.
Every reasonable effort wan made to an interview with Jeff, but
he positively declines to talk with anybody regarding the fight, and what
few words escape his lips these days are in monosyllables and absolutely
necessary. He is not uncivil, but he w ill not talk. Fact is, Berger, Kipper
and Jack Jeffries see to it that nobody gets close enough to the big fellow
to worry him. He is slowly getting over the effects of the fight, his right
eye, which was believed for a time to be permanently injured, is improving
and slowly opening bo that the big boy can begin to sec with it again. His
lips are gradually getting back to their normal formation, and within an
other day or two he will look as good as ever, barring the possibility of the
discoloration about his right eye remaining for a while longer. It is not the
physical hurts that affect him, however, his big, childlike heart being more
affected than his anatomy. It is not that he was defeated that causes all the
soreness, but the fact that all his good friends lost so heavily oy his failure
to remain the retired and undefeated champion of champions.
FRIENDS WANT HIM TO FORGET IT
Jeffries is entirely too sensitive, and is brooding too much for his own
good. Those friends who deserve the distinction of being Known as such
have'nothing but the slncerest sympathy for him. and if any change has
occurred in their friendship, his misfortune has made them all the more sin
cere in their admiration and love for the big boy. The big bettors like
Clarence Berry, Nat Goodwin, Hector MacKenzle and others are still his
friends, although it must be admitted that some of the pikers are howling
their heads off in a very natural and c haracteristic manner. Through it all,
however, there Is none to say aught against the big boy's honor and his in
tegrity. All his friends, however, believe that he is doing himself a great
injustice in refusing to talk about the fight.
Every incoming train from the north is bringing home Los Angeles sports
men who were at ringside. Among the late arrivals are Jack Kipper, who
was a member of the Jeffries party; W. C, Bailey, an old friend from Min
nesota, and Harry Monyhan. Kipper does not take much stock in the story
iilinut Jeff having been doped before entering the ring, although admitting
that Jeff fought as if he had been drugged or was in such a state of nervous
prostration that ho was unable to do himself justice. Bailey and Monyhan
are of decidedly different opinions. They hold that Jeffries was doped in
some manner within a short time before leaving his camp for the arena or
after arriving at his dressing room. Fra"hk Gotch, the champion wrestler,
also holds that Jeff was doped, and in a talk made in the presence of Mony
han at the Golden hotel, Reno, the day alter the fight, the champion gave
his reasons for holding such an opinion.
BELIEVES BIG FELLOW WAS DOPED
Monyhan passed nine weeks in Jeffries' camp and is emphatic in his dec
laration that Jeffries was doped or suff-ering from nervous prostration to such
a degree that he know nothing of what was going on. Ho says that Jeff was
in perfect condition and had shown all his speed, punch and cleverness In his
final week of work, hitting with such great steam behind hi.s blows that none
of his sparring partners could take the punishment. He looked so good and
appeared so good that Kipper. Monyhan, Corbett, Goodwin, MacKenzie and
other good friends around the camp were anxious to bit more money on him,
but were unable to get it down.
■\fter Jeff got to the dressing room, half an hour or more before entering
the ring, ho seemed to undergo a radical and sudden change. He did not
m to realize where he was or what was going on about him, and his actions
were so peculiar that hl» trainers and helpers became alarmed. Instead of
Improving after noing into the ring, he seemed to steadily grow worse, and
When he responded to the bell for the start of the fight, instead of going right
after Johnson, according to instructions and rehearsal the night previously,

way around the ring before Hi her of them struck a blow. Instead of showing
seemed timid and lifeless. These tactics excited hi.s
..imls and friends, and after this round they began to realize that something
was radii illy wrung with him.
Monyhan is well known on the coast as an expert on all tilings relating
to tin' flghi game and is a keen 'observer. Jiffs actions in the first round
confirmed his suspicion that something was wrong, and when Jeff continued
„, luh ;, | „I as if trying to come out of a trance or free himself from
the , ffei • ol in irphine, Monyhan made the declaration that the big fellow was
doped. AH subsequent events conlirmed Monyhan in this belief, and he still
fay it was clop,.- or an acute attack of nervous prostration. Bailey admits
the possiblllt iut rather inclines to the opinion that it was nerv
ous prostration that affected Jeff, and charges it to friends of Jeffries who vls

onslblllty r ting upon Ji ft' to win money bet on him by his friends. He

have a trli n 1 In the world if he lost. Such instances, with the scores of le.t

t" Bailey, !>. -:ek that caused an almost complete
ikdown through brooding over the responsibility resting upon him be

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY SCORNING, JULY 0, 1010.
HERALD SPORTING PAGE
Thorscn delighted all his friends and
oven pacified the knockers yesterday
when he shut out the Seals and held
them absolutely helpless by allowing
only two hits, giving only one basi> on
Kalis and limiting tho number of Seali
Who reached first base to three. It was
a classy performance and shows what
the big boy can do when he is in form.
Three winks ago, when the Angels
came home, it was a pleasure to ad
vise the knockers to let up on him
;itiil give him a chance, and to predict
that if this was done the big bull would
prove his worth to the team. The
manner in which he has won his last
three games proves that this was good
advice and another pitcher now is
added to the staff of regulars who can
ponded upon to win a majority of
games for the Angela In the pennant
chnse. It Is all the more satisfactory
to note Thorsen's improvement now
that the pennant chase has narrowed
down to such a tight lit this early In
the season. With only four games
separating the Angels and Villager!
from the top of the heap, every game
counts for more than par and Berry
and Dillon now have a staff of pitchers
that outclasses any rival staff in the
league. Just watch them go some
from now on.
The Angels and the Seals will play
the fifth game of their present series
at the Chutes this afternoon and Dillon
Is figuring on winning it so that he
will have the honors of the series
cinched and the two games to be
played Sunday will be velvet for them.
Judge Nagle is due to pitch this after
noon, but there Is Criger, Delhi and
Klein yet to take a turn against tho
Seals and one of them may be chosen
nnrt Na^le reserved for one of the
Sunday games. However, this is the
most important series in sight for
some time and as there are only three
more games to be played between the
two teams, and Xagle, Castloton and
Tozer are on tnp. It is probable that
this trio will be used in the order
named. If so, it looks like three
straights.
Hank Berry is prettins just a little
bit impatient at the delay of President
Graham in replying to the telegram
he and Brooks sent him the other day
regarding tho double umpire system
and the appointment of Jimmy Toman
to one of the extra places. Berry said
last night that Graham is lost, strayed
or stolen and he is in half a notion
to offer a reward for his apprehension. |
Berry and Brooks intend to press their j
demand for tho double umpire system I
and for tho appointment of Toman, and
ns they will have the support of Me-
Credie'of Portland and Graham of Sac
ramento, It looks like they will suc
ceed. Nothing that the Coast league ,
directors could do would please the Los
Angeles fans any more than these two
acts. Los Angeles Is supporting two
clubs of the fix in the pennant race |
ami both are close up in the running, so
It looks like they should have some
tho=e theories, doping or nervous prostration, is true. If he only would talk
about it, the world might be enlightened, but the big fellow Is so sensitive.
that If he oven knew that he had been drugged he would not talk about It un
til It was forced out of him, fearing that somebody might charge him with
seeking to excuse his'poor showing. It is sure to come out some day, and
now is as good a time as any, even better, as the world then would know just
what estimate to place upon Johnson and be in position to bettor judge of
the real merits of the fight. Until he decides to open his mouth and talk
of his condition and explain his condition and feelings just previous to en
tering tho ring and afterwards, his friends will have to live upon theories,
and it is non-sustaining as a food for argument because it is so indefinite and
so lacking in substantial proof. Jeff owes it to himself and to his friends to
make some sort of statement.
Kipper says that Jeffries never made any such statement as that in which
he is quoted as saying that he never could have whipped Johnson when at his
best form. On the contrary, Jeffries expressed the opinion privately that he
would win eas;lly, and after the fight he told Kipper that five years ago
Johnson would have been a pudding for him, but that he could not get started
and had nothing at all. not even clear eyes, last Monday. Kipper also says
that if Jeffries was doped somebody other than Bob Armstrong did it, as
Armstrong was and is one of the best friends Jeff has and was as much af
fected by the result as anybody. Jim Corbett bet $2500 on Jeff, $1000 of
which ho placed at 10 to 6 the morning of the fight, Monyhan being present
and seeing the money posted. ,

so liberally and exclusively to Frisco
and Oakland.
Although it is only a rumor, the
story that Jeffries will ask for a return
match with Johnson within the next
six months sounds like tho real stuff
and tho fans will be delighted to hear
the big fellow confirm the rumor at an
early day. If he can go Into the ring
in the condition he showed in his train
ing he will Whip Johnson and tho world
can bet that the strictest oversight of
all that he eats or drinks and that the
usual crowds of bang«NOß and self

a fight, a real fight, and a new world

McCarey always has contended that

Battling Xolson passed through Los

way from Reno to his ranch at Obar,
N. M. He will stay there two clays,
just long enough to pack up, and then
go to Chicago for what he terms a big
celebration—maybe nuptials or some
thing of the sort. After the celebra
tion he is going to Yellowstone park
for two months of rest and recupera
tion and then will return to his New
Mexico home and go into training in
the hope that 'Wolga.st will give him a
return match. Bat will take Abdul the
Turk with him to Yellowstone park
and they will rough it all the time.
Bat does not believe the stories of dop
ing or nervous prostration in Jeffries'
case and is more inclined to be blttor
toward the big boy than to be char
itnble or friendly.

a two-bugger and scored throe times,
making- three putouts and playing his
usual errorless game in the middle
patoh. Howard also was some pump
kins with the stick, Rotting two hits,
one of them a three-bagger, and scoring 1 two of the eight runs credited to
l.n« Angeles. Murphy, Itoth and Do.lmas also did some fine stick work,
hitting at a .500 clip for tlie afternoon.
Daley, first man np in tho opening round, lifted the ball over the left field
fence for the first run of the game. In the third Innjng, one hit, one base
on balls and three errors pushed four more runners over the pan. McArdlo
muffed Daley's no- fly, Bernard walked and Howard filled the bases when
Shaw threw wide to first. Dillon drove a hot one down to Mohler, who could
not tame it. and Daley and Bernard registered. Murphy singled to center and
Howard scored. Roth' forced Murphy at second and Delmas was out. Mc-
Ardle to Tennant, Dillon going home on the out.
Another runner scored for the An pels in thr fifth, when Howard tripled
to renter and scored on Murphy's single to right. Two more were added,
just to make sure that no rally could boat them out again, when one hit, two
errors and a walk followed right on the heels of two dead Angels. Smith and
Thorsen were ensy outs, hut Pa ley, the Seals' hoodoo, drew a walk, went to
second when Mohler Juggled Bernard's grounder and moved up to third when
Howard asain filled the bags with an In field single. Dillon raised a skyrocket
over the pitcher's her. 1 and McArdle and Mlltar competed for the honor of
the impending putout with the usual result that neither got it. While all
this was going on Daley and Bernard were dashing across the plate with the
final runs of the game.
Thorsen was invincible. He would not allow the Seals to find his puzzler*
except at two rare intervals and as he would not lose control and only passed
one Seal, the poor boys really had no chance to win. This gives the Angela
three in four grimes played and keeps them tied with Vernon for fourth place,
although a little closer to tho top than before the game, as Frisco, Oakland
and Portland fell short of a set of brackets In their games. With three more
games to play, it looks like a big cinch that the Angels will take the odd
one and annex the honors for the series.
