Jeffries Sails Away ;
Johnson Stays Away
Bat Nelson Enters Suit Against Hotel for Ten
Thousand Dollars Damages
WILLIAM J. SLATTERY
Jim Jeffries set sail for Europe yesterday afternoon on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer George Washington. He made no farewell fighting,
speech to the big crowd that gathered at the pier to wish him godspeed. It
was a quiet leave, taking for a man 'who, has' been spouting so much during
the last few months. The very person whom everybody expected would be
right up in the front row was missing. One guess will tell all the fans who
the missing one was — Jack Johnson. He did not show as he had promised,
and thus he has made himself out a great big four, flushcr when he had the
best chance of -his lifetime to get in right."
It will be remembered that Johnson said a few days ago that he would
insist upon looking right into. Jeff's eyes before the big fellow made his
eastern getaway. There is no law under the stars and* stripes. that would
have prevented Johnson from walking
right alongside Jeff and looking down
his throat. If necessary, but some
strange law that governed Johnson's
feelings interfered with him and held
him in Toronto when he promised to
be among those on the job to gaze upon
Jeffries.
The absence of Johnson from the
dock has made the dubious ones more
dubious than ever. Throughout the
east both Jeff and Johnson are being
roasted as a pair 1 of fakers, .and
very few of the wise fans will fall for
the fight talk. Nothing looked good to
them from the outset, and now as the
days pass the situation is becoming
more complex. Nobody has any assur
ance that Jeffries Intends to fight, or
that Johnson intends to accommodate
the retired champion, even if he is
willing to go on.
Jeffries will be gone six weeks, ac
cording* to his own statement. He is
accompanied by his wife,' and they in
tend to go direct to Carlsbad, where
Jeff will take the waters of the famous
baths. He believes that this will aid
him to get into condition. After leav
ing Carlsbad Jeff will make a short
tour of the continent and return to
New York. Upon his arrival he prom
ises to start training for Johnson.
According to Jeff, Sam Berger will
look after his interests while he is in
Europe. Sam seems to have taken
hold of the managerial reins and keepa
the spotlight upon himself all thetime.
Berger expects to «tart for this city
within the next few days, and after
a short stay here he will return to
New York to '"receive bids for the
fight."
" Thus far nobody has thought of mak
ing anything like a legitimate bid.
There have been many wildcat proposi
tions like Tex Hall's" Ketchel-Langford
bloomer, but the legitimate promoters
have not yet seen their way to get
into the game. Naturally, they ' are
waiting for something more definite,
especially as Jeff says that he will
not fight for five months.
Not content with crushing right into
the Bellevue-Stratford, the awellest
hotel in Philadelphia, the other night.

There was a switch in the Mission
club's program last night, and after a
long conference. Manager Sid Hester
straightened out the tangled proposi
tion that confronted. him by agreeing to
put on the winner of the Monte Att ell-
Johnny Reagan match across the bay
next Wednesday night with Percy Cove
here on the night of August 20.
Two days ago Attell. who was
matched to fight Cove, ran out of the
match for the reason that the Mission
manager would not stand for his taking
a chance at Reagan in Oakland in ithe
meantime. Early last evening Hester
secured Reagan to take Attell's. place
and fight Cove, and thus Attell was
shut out of both matches*.
This was a severe blow to the Oak
land promoters, and they at once. got
busy with Cove and made him good in
ducements to fight ''Attell. across the
bay. Cove put the proposition up- to
Hester, who finally compromised mat
ters by agreeing to sign the winner
of the Reagan-Atteli; match with Cove.
This puts the Oakland match on; its
feet again, when a few hours before the
agreement had been' reached it was
off. All parties seem .to be satisfied,
and the - fans will be entertained .as
they expected. ' ' :'^ \u25a0

.... Sam Ilildreth displayed his ability to
handle lame horses in'the case'of-Ocean
Bound, the high class filly in the string
of Woodford Clay. ..She had been going
sore in'her work and it was feared fora
time : she- would be unable to fill < her
stake engagements. Hildreth trimmed
the filly's feet and shod her. .with such
good : effect that Clay was enabled to fit
her for the rich Spinaway stake, which
she' won the first day of the Saratoga
meeting. -' The Hopeful and other valu
able stakes for fillies are thought to be
at the mercy of Ocean Bound.
Charles F. Price, who was formerly

W. Lotinga has shipped two 2 year old

A. J. Joyner, who is training for,

as, it, was at his suggestion that the boy
first went from this country to try th*»

Kiriß- James was somewhat sore in his
work before the opening at Saratoga.
